The Quicky

Donald Trump has been on a nominating spree in the week since he took the win in the 2024 US presidential election.

From one of the most controversial selections for Secretary of State to an anti vaxer in charge of health, the stories of the men and women lining up to run government in 2025 has been met with raised eyebrows and a little bit of comedy.

Mamamia's US correspondent, Deputy editor of Foreign Policy Magazine Amelia Lester fills us in on the collection of people who will be Trump's cabinet when he returns to the Oval Office.

You know what they say, the uglier you go to sleep, the prettier you wake up, apparently?

In an age where everyone is time poor and sleep a commodity as valuable as gold, surely adding extra bedtime tasks before you hop under the covers is just taking time away from those precious moments of lights out?

There's a whole side of Tiktok dedicated to hacking your sleep, or 'sleepmaxxing'. From pre bedtime rituals to post wakeup shedding, what do the experts really think of them?

The Block may have wrapped up, but the latest season of the home reno reality show has captured our attention once again.

While the on screen drama might be what kept us watching, it's the homes themselves that live on as property icons.

And it's not just The Block houses that pique our interest, everything from celebrity homes to more infamous dwellings always seem to capture our attention.

Today we look at famous homes you could buy right now; from a Bachelor mansion to a Love Island location

Have you ever wondered where the Royal Family get their money?

They seem to always be adorned in designer clothes and jewels, travelling the world in private transport and boasting an impressive property portfolio.

But how can that be the case for a job thats largely a symbolic role and doesn't draw a typical wage?

A new phrase circulating the internet is leaving women worried.

'Your Body My Choice' starting increasingly doing the rounds following the election of Donald Trump last week, flipping the pro-choice rhetoric of My Body My Choice on its head.
