Regularly overhead beginning most conversations with “did you see this” or “have you tried that”, Sue Glackin is constantly on the lookout for the latest new products and best foodie destinations Donegal has to offer.

​An appetite for exploring new culinary experiences has brought Sue all over the world, from launching a new restaurant in NSW Australia to spending time in the wine producing regions of Hunter Valley and Margaret River. When she moved back to Donegal in 2014, she completed the Wine & Spirit Education Trust Award Level 2 in Wine & Spirits and started working in the county’s most reputable wine shop.

In 2016 Sue moved into marketing and events at one of the largest entertainment venues in the North West. Here she crafted out a unique club, namely 'The Craft & Cork Club' at House Wine Bar & Taproom which she used as a platform to educate local customers on the variety of wines and spirits available to them in the area.

In 2017 during a period of freelancing and consulting projects based in Donegal, Sue met fellow Donegal woman Cathy Cowan on a Go Visit Donegal stand at The Balmoral Show and they bonded over a shared love of food, wine and, of course, all things Donegal. In Spring 2018 Donegal Food Tours was born and the duo set about telling visitors and locals all about the growing food scene in Donegal.

After juggling the tours and freelance work between Dublin and Donegal, Cathy stepped away from tour life in Autumn 2018 and Sue has since took over the running of Donegal Food Tours. Donegal Food Tours now has three routes established – Taste the North, Taste the South and the Donegal Gin Trail. In the coming months Sue will be adding another route in the Inishowen area and there’s lots more events and projects planned for the county in 2020.

The aim of Donegal Food Tours is to connect the dots for visitors and locals and showcase the best produce in the county, all while meandering the rolling hills of Donegal and exploring the stunning Wild Atlantic Way.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to the Gaiety Panto! 

Join us as we take you on a magical carpet ride to this year's Gaiety Pantomime, Aladdin. 

An Arabian tale of true love, magic wishes and dastardly dealings, this year's Panto will excite and delight all ages with the extra helping of song, dance, slapstick and laughter that you would come to expect from the Gaiety's festive extravaganza.

The mystical 'Cave of Desire' holds the magic lamp that can only be recovered by one of true heart. Our hero Aladdin, is tricked by his devious "Uncle" into retrieving the lamp and we enter a world of wonder and awe as our 'Genie of the Lamp' makes his wishes come true. However, be careful what you wish for as you may end up with more than you bargained for…!

With a stellar cast of favourites including Joe Conlan as 'Widow Twankey' and Nicholas Grennell as 'Abanazer' we also introduce to you West End talent Julian Capolei as 'Aladdin' and the gorgeous 'Suzie Seweify' as 'Princess Jasmine'.

This is no ordinary panto, it's the Gaiety Panto!

Tickets from €19.50 (including booking fee and restoration levy) are on sale now from Ticketmaster and the Gaiety Theatre Box Office. 

Performances from November 24, 2019 until January 5, 2020.

The Gaiety Theatre has hosted the annual Christmas Panto each year since 1873.

Today, families come from far and wide to experience the Gaiety Christmas Panto and for many it has become as much a family Christmas tradition as Santa himself!

The John Lewis Christmas advert is always one of the most magical, if not the best, festive ads and we look forward to it every single year.

No matter the competition, it always seems to come out on top. 

John Lewis has released the teaser trailer for their advert and we are way too excited about it.

In the clip, we get a glimpse at the home of Excitable Edgar, who loves all things festive- Christmas trees, Christmas food, Christmas snow, Christmas lights. 

The teaser trailer shows a small child knocking on a dragon iron knocker. As the door opens, snow falls from its head, and unveils a room with the fire on.

The clip reveals the date for this year’s John Lewis advert and we don’t have long to wait.

This year’s advert will be released on Thursday, November 14. The video teased, ‘Meet Edgar, 14.11.19’

Elton John starred in last year’s John Lewis advert, but many felt it lacked the magic of previous animated adverts. We’re hoping John Lewis go back to the old style advert like 2013’s The Bear and the Hare, which featured Lily Allen’s stunning rendition of Somewhere Only We Know.

Following on from the launch of the original BPerfect Cosmetics x LMD Master Palette back in 2017, the much-anticipated new Remastered palette is now available. The original collaboration with expert make-up artist Louise McDonnell was one of BPerfect’s most popular collections to date, so anticipation is high as we reveal the latest edition.

The LMD Remastered Palette is designed to be versatile, featuring 15 face and eye powders perfect for sculpting, highlighting and adding blush to the cheeks. The metallic shades are stunning when used as a highlighter to make those cheekbones pop. The original colours are more pigmented than before and it features four fabulous new shades:

  • Flames: A flaming hot copper in a gorgeous shimmering finish.
  • Smokeee: A deep rich chocolate matte brown, perfect for adding depth to the crease or for adding definition to any eye look.
  • Lite Up: A beautiful glistening White Gold, ideal for highlighting the brow bone or inner corner of the eye.
  • Goals: A rich, soft matte pink, the perfect transition for any of the deeper shades in the palette.

Louise McDonnell said: “I designed this palette to be a go-to daily make-up essential, that would have a place in everyone’s cosmetics bag. The beauty of the shades I have selected, is that they are so versatile, meaning they can be used on the eyes and face, to create a really eye-catching look.”

BPerfect Cosmetics founder Brendan McDowell added: “This is our final release of 2019 and one that there has been lots of excitement around. We’re excited to end our most successful year to date on such as high by continuing to work with the amazing Louise to release a product that we can be really proud of.”

The BPerfect Cosmetics x LMD palette is priced at €29.95 and it would make a lovely Christmas present this year.  Available now. Visit www.bperfectcosmetics.com to find your nearest store or to purchase online.

Ethan Craft was the guy of our dreams during our early teenage years. We spent way too much time swooning over the ditzy, spaghetti loving heartthrob. 

And now it looks like those feels are about to come flooding back after Hilary Duff shared some very exciting details about the Lizzie McGuire reboot.

The actress revealed that Ethan WILL return and we’re just a little bit too excited about it.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Clayton Snyder (@heyclaytron) on

She told E! News, “He is hot. He's very hot. I'm pretty sure there's going to be, there's going to be a thing.”

A thing?

Will Lizzie and Ethan finally get together in the reboot or is she still with high school beau Gordo?

We’ll be waiting until 2020 to find out, but Hilary stressed that it will be worth the wait.

Speaking about returning to her Disney roots, the actress said, “It's been fun to find the new version of [Lizzie]. She's a little less frantic and a little more confident.”

“She has some years of life under her belt. There's that relatability that I think that everyone loves in her,” she revealed.

“She is going to be coming across some challenges that the show is gonna serve up and a lot of what people want to see or the answers to questions that they never got,” the actress teased.

The show will be available on Disney + in the coming months but fans on this side of the pond will have to wait until March 31, 2020 to subscribe to the streaming service.

We've been addicted to You since Netflix released it back in December. We were utterly addicted to the thrilling series and are delighted to hear season two is on the way.

The show follows the narrative of bookstore manager Joe, and his infatuation with poetry writer Beck. Beginning as an online stalker, Joe gradually becomes more sinister as his obsession escalates throughout.

Starring Penn Badgley, otherwise known as Dan Humphry from Gossip Girl, and Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell, the show had us seriously addicted.

It’s safe to say we were thrilled to hear that there would be a second season of You and Netflix has finally confirmed the release date.

And we don’t have much longer to wait.

Season two of You lands on Netflix on December 26.

The show is based on the book by Caroline Kepnes, which means that avid readers can discover the future of You. Anyone who is already a fan of the novel will know that season two will be based in Los Angeles.

Rather than remain in New York City's urban jungle setting, Joe relocates to LA for a change.

Showrunner Sarah Gamble also revealed that the audience will learn much more about Joe's past in the next season, including how he became an obsessive stalker and serial killer…

"There's a lot more to explore about Joe from earlier in his life. Those are the things we're starting to get into for season two,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. 

As anyone who watched season one will know, Beck and Peach probably won’t return (maybe as ghosts?) but we may get to see some flashbacks, judging by Candace's role.

Season two of You airs on December 26.

Owen Wilson’s ex girlfriend has claimed that the actor has never met their daughter. Varunie Vongsvirates told DailyMail.com that the Marley and Me star has had nothing to do with their daughter since she was born last October.

The couple dated on and off for a period of five years but split shortly before their daughter’s birth.

The mum pleaded with the Midnight In Paris star, “Lyla needs a father. It’s ironic how [Owen] keeps getting these father roles, he’s playing a father in his new movie, and he’s never met his own daughter.”

“You should see your daughter, she’s incredible, you’re really missing out. She looks just like you,” Varunie admitted.

Owen is a dad to two sons- eight-year-old Robert and five-year-old Finn- whom he has strong relationships with. 

When Varunie revealed she was expecting, Owen took a paternity test to ensure that he was the father. He later confirmed that he was the baby’s dad last summer.

Baby Lyla is Owen’s first and only daughter.

“Adam! When did you get so mushy?! Oh my God, I love this man with all my heart. This is one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet."

The actress delivered a witty and emotional speech that left the crowd in stitches, “As actors, we don't do this for the critics of for each other or to make our families proud, we do this for the money.

'Friends' was truly, it was the gift of a lifetime and I would not be standing up here without that amazing show, without those amazing five other actors and with an audience who stuck with us for a decade," Aniston added.
