Hands up if you totally love when brands team up with Disney to make an extra special collection.

*Throws hands in the air immediately*

Seriously, whether it's pyjamas or furniture, there is nothing we love more than a super magical Disney collaboration.

The latest folks to team up with the wonderful world of Disney? Kiehls – one of our all-time favourite skincare brands.

Each of the four gorgeous new items in the Disney x Kiehl’s collection will feature Mickey Mouse on the packaging (so pretty!)

Of course, that means the always-luxurious Kiehl’s products will be even more adorable than usual!

But wait, there's more – 100 percent of net proceeds (up to $100,00) from each item will also help benefit charity, namely Feeding America.

The collection will officially launch on November 2nd, but we're to give you a special sneak peak. 

You're welcome.

It may seem a tad premature, but there are so many amazing brands releasing their special Christmas collections – and we are here for it!  

There seems to be new announcements every day, but we are seriously excited about this latest one.

The gorgeous folks at Fuchsia Makeup have revealed their glorious exclusive Christmas collection- and it has jingled all our bells. 

Now a well-established premium make-up brand, the original Fuschia store was born in 2005, in Drogheda, Ireland (homegrown, baby). 

The Fuschia beauty concept focuses on building confidence. Life is challenging (amen sister), and the world can be tough. Everyone neds a secret helper sometimes, to feel strong enough and confident enough to go out and perform at their absolute best.

The sense of empowerment, which comes from looking and feeling ready to face the world, is intense and undeniable. At Fuschia, they make it their business to provide the tools for women everywhere to feel like this, every single day.

Christmas time just so happens to be one of Fuschia's favourite time of year and to celebrate they have launched a huge selection of limited edition gift boxes, brush sets and much more to keep the beauty lover amongst your friends and family filled with holiday cheer! 

Whether you are looking for the perfect Christmas stocking filler or a luxury gift set for the one you love, Fuschia Makeup have you covered this Christmas.

Fuschia products are all vetted by their own ultra-talented tribe of make-up artists, who refuse to accept anything less than amazing. Each and every product is tested rigorously and must perform spectacularly to even come close to meeting the highest Fuschia quality standards. 

Gillian Moore, CEO Fuschia Make-Up says “At Fuschia we all absolutely LOVE what we do. We are genuinely passionate about helping women to love themselves a little more and feel braver and stronger as a result. We like to think that we don't just sell make-up; we inspire confidence.”

Let’s be honest, online shopping is a bittersweet experience.

In the space of mere moments, you can go from wholly elated over your new purchases to wholly anxious over their safe arrival.

There are few among us who haven’t missed a highly-anticipated delivery, and then been forced to endure an agonising wait for its reappearance.

Thankfully, over the last five years, Parcel Motel has made our lives so much easier, and if you’re not in on it, it’s time to school yourself.

Parcel Motel is a one-stop shop for managing your online shopping deliveries easily. A ‘virtual address’ combined with convenient collection and drop-off locations provide a hassle-free delivery solution.

The service offers 24-hour deliveries with no time restrictions, no explaining your purchase to colleagues and the ability to send parcels to friends and family across the UK and Ireland.

Parcel Motel has a presence in every county in Ireland, with 160 lockers unit locations, and was recently listed in the top ten for customer experience in the 2017 annual Irish customer experience survey carried out by Amarach Research.

This week, General Manager Orla Sheils reflected on a hugely successful five years for Parcel Motel.

“How often have you spotted a bargain online only to find that the savings are wiped out by high delivery costs, or the website won’t deliver to the Republic of Ireland?

“Who will be at home when an order is delivered? How can couriers contact people who live in apartments?

“For five years now, Parcel Motel has been solving these online shopping obstacles as well as offering customers flexibility and value for money – something which has been clearly recognised through our growing membership figures.”

In her recently released memoir Raising Trump, the US president's first wife, Ivana, reflects on her extraordinary life and the raising of her three children.

And while we're guessing the book is full life lessons and inside info about her former husband, there's one particular revelation that has really got people talking – Ivanka Trump's 'punk phase'.

The president's daughter made the comments in section she penned for her mother's new book, saying how she “dyed her hair blue” and was “really into Nirvana.”

“During my punk phase in the nineties, I was really into Nirvana. My wardrobe consisted of ripped corduroy jeans and flannel shirts,” she wrote.

“One day after school, I dyed my hair blue. Mom wasn’t a fan of this decision.”

Unsure what to do with this information, Twitter users did what they do best – made a complete mockery out of the whole thing.

This whole situation has taught us two things:

1. Ivanka probably wasn't as 'punk' as she thought she was. 

2. Never ever claim to to have been a part of any subculture, because Twitter will go in on you.

Earlier this week, the #MeToo hashtag began circulating online, providing survivors of sexual assault and harassment with a platform to share their respective stories.

And while opinion has differed on its implications – with some citing its positive impact and others acknowledging its triggering potential – the majority have questioned why men don't have a hashtag relating to rape culture.

The thing is, they do.

While not circulating as widely as #MeToo, men around the world have been contributing to the #HowIWillChange conversation in an effort to support women against harassment, assault and rape.

And here are just a few examples.

Not only can a well-defined brow frame your face and highlight your best assets, but scientists now say the beauty trend could actually make you look younger.

A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology analysed the portraits of 763 make-up-free women between the ages of 20 and 80 and found that contrast in facial features was far greater in younger participants.

This contrast was particularly obvious in areas around the mouth and eyebrows.

Researchers then created two versions of each photograph – each with a varying levels of contrast.

A number of volunteers were then asked to examine each image and choose the one face they believed to look younger.

Results showed that almost 80 per cent of the time, people said the high-contrast face appeared more youthful. 

And, while the study didn't involve any make-up, researchers believe beauty products can achieve the same effect.

Co-author Richard Russell told Time: “The way we manipulated features in the photos was very similar to what you'd do with make-up.”

“And I would be surprised if you couldn't get similar effects.”

“We know that lips get less red with age and eyebrows get lighter, for instance, and those are both things you could address with make-up, if you wanted.”

The power of the brow is real!

If you tend to hover awkwardly when you visit public toilets, you're likely doing it for health and hygiene purposes, right?

Well, what if we told you that this habit actually leaves you vulnerable to ill health?

Writing for Healthista, NHS physician, Dr Preethi Daniel, aims to dispel the myths which circulate around the use and safety of public restrooms.

Acknowledging the habit many women have, Dr Daniel asserts: "All that squatting and hovering we do to avoid touching the toilet seat, and the mad rush we are in to get out of the toilet cubicle are what can give us a urine infection."

"By not emptying your bladder completely, in a rush or if you are squatting, you are exposing your body to potentially harmful bacteria," she adds.

And for those of you who believe your chances of contracting disease are multipled ten-fold every time you slide the lock across the door of a public toilet, Dr Daniel is here to assuage your fears.

"You are more likely to be struck by lightning whilst riding a flying pig than catching a sexually transmitted disease from a public toilet seat, so please don’t worry," she writes.

"To contract these diseases the germs would have to be directly transferred from the toilet seat to your genital tract, or through an open wound or sore on your legs or buttocks."

Insisting that there exists no medical evidence which supports the theory that an individual can contract a disease from a public toilet, she then provides three handy tips for the more concerned among us.

From laying paper on the toilet seat before hand to thoroughly washing your hands and applying anti-bacterial gel in the aftermath, these three tips are all you need.

Between the recent departure of storm Ophelia and the imminent arrival of Storm Brian, the nation is certainly due a reprieve.

But, according to the good folk at Met Éireann, it's not meant to be.

Forecasters have confirmed that a number of counties around the country are set to experience heavy, thundery rain both today and tomorrow.

"Rain, in the south this morning, will become widespread this afternoon with hill and coastal fog also," reads an update on their website.

"Widespread mist, fog and drizzle tonight will give way to a spell of heavy and possibly thundery rain. The rain is expected to arrive on the west coast before midnight and slowly cross the country, arriving in the east on Thursday morning."

The worst effected areas include Munster, Dublin, Carlow, Kilkenny, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow and Meath, with rain expected to reach between 30 and 50mm.

Remember when you were 17-years-old and your idol invited you onto their show in order to surprise you with a cheque for $10,000?

Yeah, us neither, but that's because we're not Eimear O’Tuathail from Co. Galway.

The Irish teenager found herself on Ellen's famous set this week after a song she composed in her honour caught the star's attention.

Hugely likeable, Eimear instantly endeared herself to the audience by revealing her desire to see a real-life palm tree, get her hands on Starbuck's Pink Drink and stock up on lipbalm.

However, in true DeGeneres style, Ellen did one better and presented her adorable guest with an enormous cheque to cover her university fees.

So if you'll excuse us, we have some composing to do.

If, like us, you're partial to a few drinks on the weekend, you'll know that one spirit in particular has captured the heart of the nation.

In recent years, the humble Gin and Tonic has undergone somewhat of a transformation, proving itself the beverage of choice for millennials across the country.

We're right at the centre of a gin Renaissance – and the report from this Irish Spirits Association has the figures to prove it.

The latest statistics show that gin is the fastest growing spirits category among Irish consumers, growing by a massive 31 per cent last year alone.

However, despite its growth in popularity, vodka is still preferred by the majority of the population (sales are down a quarter over the last 10 years).

William Lavelle, Head of the Irish Spirits Association, says that while the Irish gin industry is thriving, the upcoming Public Health (Alcohol) Bill could pose a “major threat” to distilleries.

"Consumption of alcohol has fallen 25% since 2001, according to the World Health Organisation," he said.

"Consumption is falling but at the same time exports are growing. If we bring in this Bill, which we don't need to because consumption is fallen, we're ultimately going to impact on our ability to continue to grow our industry and continue to grow export."
