“What a crazy 24 hours it’s been…one minute you’re painting your nails with notions of an awards night, the next you’re on the labour ward at 2am…the result?

There are so many incredible series on Netflix at the moment yet all I ever watch are old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.

I decided to give up on McDreamy and delve into a new series but there was a little too much to choose from.

We can waste hours scrolling through Netflix, looking for a show that isn’t too long, too serious, too boring or too cheesy, it’s not a simple mission.

After crying at pretty much every episode of Grey’s Anatomy, I felt like I needed to watch something a little lighter so I put Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings on.

And it was the best decision.

Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings is an anthology series that showcases the stories, memories, and inspirations behind her most beloved songs. 

New and classic Dolly music will score every episode. Each story will vary in tone, from love stories and inspirational tales to family dramas, westerns, and revenge comedies. 

Songs include Jolene, These Old Bones, IF I Had Wings, JJ Sneed, Two Doors Down, Down from Dover, Sugar Hill and Crack Jack.

I was hooked after episode one, which is based on her hit song Jolene. Julianne Hough stars as hopeful musician Jolene who has been vowing to movie to Nashville and make a name for herself for years but has never taken that leap. Each episode teaches you about Dolly's music, the story behind the songs but you'll also learn valuable life lessons that'll stick with you after the credits roll.

Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings is a must-watch, especially for those of you who are massive fans of the country music singer. It is heartwarming and eye-opening and has the best soundtrack too. What more could you ask for?

Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings is available on Netflix now.

Christmas should be celebrated in the comfort of your own home. You should be with your nearet and dearest during the most wonderful time of year, but some people aren't so lucky. One Dublin couple had to spend their son's first Christmas in hospital so they are urging the public to help raise vital funds for sick children by hosting a Christmas Jumper Day.

Sarah-Jane and Seán Preston's one-year-old son, Seán Óg, spent his first Christmas in Crumlin Hospital, but this December the family are looking forward to spending Christmas at home. Over 150,000 children go through the doors of CHI at Crumlin every year and one in 100 children in Ireland are born with a structural heart defect.

“We found out our little baby Seán Óg had a congenital heart defect at our 20 week scan.” Sarah-Jane shared. “We were completely shocked as we had never heard of it before and we didn’t know how serious it was. Three days later it was confirmed that our little baby had multiple defects, but we wouldn’t know the full extent until he was born.

"We didn’t know if he would survive the pregnancy let alone the birth so we tried to enjoy every second we had. He continued to grow and when he was born he was transferred to CHI at Crumlin straight away. During the night Seán Óg was struggling to breathe and had to be ventilated to keep him alive. I got out of hospital the next day and finally got to see my little boy properly for the first time.”

The team discovered that Seán Óg had eight heart defects in total, with three of them being rare. He had his first heart surgery at two days old and was christened in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) when he was a day old.

“The nurses caring for Seán Óg were absolutely amazing.” Sarah-Jane said. “They treated him like he was their own and I trusted them 100% which made leaving him a little more bearable. Seán Óg responded really well to the surgery and he was allowed home at six days old. One of the nurses from ICU came up to the ward before he went to give him one last cuddle which was so touching.”

Seán Óg wasn’t due his next surgery until he was around eight months old, but at Christmas his little heart was failing so he needed his operation sooner. He had his open heart surgery at four months old and just four days before Christmas. He responded really well and got home within a week.

Sarah-Jane described how special the staff made her baby’s first Christmas in Crumlin – “Santa visited him and left him presents, I was left a big hamper and there were presents waiting for his big sister when she came to visit. These are the special moments that stand out and they are facilitated by the incredible fundraisers who give their time and energy to making sure that they’re doing all they can for sick children. Christmas dinner was also provided in the restaurant so we could have dinner as a family which was so important to us and something we are so grateful for.

"Every single staff member from household staff up to consultants made our stay as comfortable and special as it could be. The support we received went way beyond the operating theatre and we are so grateful for everything so far. Nobody wants to spend Christmas in hospital but it was such a festive atmosphere that it didn’t feel like we were in hospital at times.

"It’s not just the incredible heart centre that fundraising has supported, it’s the little things too, like a present for our little girl who spent Christmas day in the hospital with her sick brother.”

Seán Óg has a tough road ahead of him and needs another open heart surgery when he’s around three, but he’s doing really well – “He’s such a happy little eight month old boy. We will be forever grateful to Crumlin hospital for saving our little boy especially, Mr. Jonathan McGuinness who is Seán Og’s surgeon, and Orla Franklin, his cardiologist.

We will never ever be able to express our gratitude to CHI at Crumlin, the staff and the fundraisers who saved our baby, but we will continue to help out in any way we can.”

Marnie Simpson is loving life as a new mum, but her journey to motherhood wasn’t as smooth as she hoped. The reality star welcomed her son Rox in October, but experienced a harrowing labour before meeting her baby boy.

Marnie’s labour lasted 28 hours and the mum revealed she lost two pints of blood during it.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Marnie (@marns) on

She told OK! Magazine that she felt upset because her birthing plan didn’t work out.

“Some people have such smooth births but I just can’t fathom that. I feel like my body failed me,”she shared.

Marnie had to have an episiotomy when she was giving birth to her baby boy. An episiotomy is when the midwife makes a cut between your vagina and anus to help avoid tearing and to make the vagina wider for birth.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Casey Cody Johnson (@caseycodyj) on

Marnie shared, “If I carried on pushing they said there was a chance I could have torn."

The new mum revealed that she haemorrhage during the birth.

“Then when I was delivering I haemorrhaged and I lost so much blood that I had to have two blood transfusions. I lost two pints of blood and there are nine pints in a woman’s body!" she added.

Marnie’s partner Casey stressed that the labour was an upsetting and difficult experience especially because he couldn’t do much to help. He admitted that he felt useless seeing Marnie like that.

“There was so much blood. It was overwhelming. I was asking them what was happening. It was horrible to watch,” the new dad added.

Marnie and Casey are proud parents to baby Rox.

The Internet erupted with cheating allegations  seconds after Justin Timberlake was spotted holding hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright.

The co-stars were photographed ‘getting cosy’ outside a bar in New Orleans, where they are currently filming together.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@celebs_in_touch) on

However, a source close to both actors has told People that there is nothing going on between the pair.

They stressed that the photos are completely innocent and that the actors were simply hanging out with the movie’s cast and crew.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Twitter: @variedadesymuch (@variedadesymuchomas) on

“It’s a balcony with a group of people and it was definitely nothing happening. He’s down there shooting [his film] Palmer, they’re starring in the movie together and they’re cool and everybody was just hanging out,” they said.

The source added, “The video may look a way, but literally it was nothing. It was some friends, members of the team, crew and people like that. They all know each other and were hanging. Like come on, they’re on an open balcony in New Orleans and he’s famous. It was nothing.”

A representative for Wainwright added, “There is no validity to this speculation. They are currently working on a project together. Members of the cast and crew were all together.”

Justin has been married to Jessica Biel since 2012. The couple has a four-year-old son together.

There’s one debate that has been dividing women for quite some time.

Bra on or bra off when it come to sleep?

Some of us spend our evening commute dreaming of the moment we finally get to take the damn thing off while others can wear them for 24 hours straight and barely notice they're there. (Sorry, but how?)

Well, according to Mia Talmor, a plastic surgeon at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, neither option is necessarily better than the other.

However, she did confirm that, contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence that wearing a bra to bed will prevent your boobs from sagging.

She told SELF: "Bras are designed to help with vertical positioning. But when you’re lying in bed, you need more horizontal support."

However, if you still insist on wearing a bra while sleeping, it is important to get the fit just right.

Plastic surgeon, Matthew Schulman also spoke to SELF, and recommended women wear ‘’a supporting bra made of breathable fabric that does not have padding or underwire’’ while sleeping.

He warned of the possible effects wearing a tight fitting bra could have on your health:

‘Wearing a bra that is too tight can inhibit flow of lymphatic fluid, this can cause lymphedema (swelling) of the breasts, which can lead to pain and some temporary skin discoloration.’

And let's be real, that doesn't sound great.

Vegans, we’ve got some wonderful news. Galaxy are releasing a vegan chocolate bar and it looks delicious.

People who follow a plant based diet can now enjoy Galaxy chocolate.

The vegan bars even come in three tasty flavours including Smooth Orange, Caramel & Sea Salt and Caramelised Hazelnut.

Will the bar taste as good as the original? The team at Galaxy believe the range is just as good as they used a hazelnut paste to create the iconic creamy taste.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by CorporateDispatch (@corpdispatch) on

The bars are even packaged in eco-friendly wrappers. The chocolate is wrapped in a recyclable card sleeve and compostable film.

This move by Galaxy is a wise one, especially with the numbers of people following a vegan diet on the rise.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Vegan Food and Living (@veganfoodandliving) on

The team stressed that just because someone is vegan doesn’t mean they should miss out on treats we all know and love, like the Galaxy bar.

The Galaxy vegan bars will be available later this month and we cannot wait to try them.

The Duchess of Sussex has swiftly become one of the biggest style icons in recent years. Meghan may not have as much freedom when it comes to her clothes, but she has certainly put a fresh and modern twist on the traditional royal style.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on

Meghan wore some of her most beautiful outfits during the Sussex’s royal tour in Australia/New Zealand. Prince Harry and Meghan had just announced she was pregnant when they touched down in Oz so all eyes of the world were on the mum.

The former actress knew the world was watching and certainly pulled out all the stops when it came to her royal tour outfits. 

Meghan wore one of her most beautiful ensembles on the final day of the tour, a cobalt blue pleated skirt and matching top by Givenchy.

You can now replicate this iconic look thanks to Marks and Spencer who are selling a dupe of Meghan’s pleated skirt, but for a fraction of the price.

The pleated ombre midi skirt is currently available for €70, but there’s no doubt it’ll be swiped up in minutes.

As we inch closer to the festive season, this skirt is the perfect purchase. The glittery waistband and classic pleats make it the dream skirt for a Christmas party.

The rain is pouring and our bank accounts are empty so our weekend is going to be very, very quiet.

Once we step in the door after work, we’re putting our pjs on, ordering pizza and curling up on the sofa for the foreseeable future.

Instead of scrolling through Netflix for hours and hours we’ll be tuning into one of our favourite Jennifer Aniston movies tonight.

Get the tissues at the ready because Marley and Me is on RTÉ2 at 21.30.

The movie follows journalists John and Jenny Grogan as they move to South Florida and start a new chapter of their lives.

After the couple tie the knot, John decides to buy his wife Jenny a dog- a Labrador named Marley.

The four-legged fur ball becomes a part of their family and is there for some of the highest and lowest moments of their lives. He swiftly turns into the loyal companion the couple can turn to during upsetting days and trying times.

The comedy-drama is based on the memoir of the same name by John Grogan.

Marley and Me stars Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Kathleen Turner and Alan Arkin

Tune in at 21.30 on RTÉ 2 tonight.
