Unless you are like Monica Geller, cleaning the house is probably the bane of your life. Unfortunately, it still needs to be done.

Thankfully, these tips will make it slightly easier:

Soap scum
So cleaning the bathroom is certainly not on our list of fun things to do either, but it must be done. Soap scum can be a nightmare to get off, particularly when it is on the walls of the shower. Simply grab a plastic scraper, you can get these in your local car shop, and just gently scrape it off.

Pet hair
While your dog may be the centre of your world, it doesn’t mean you have to tolerate their shedding. The easiest way to get pet hair off furniture is to use the sticky side of duct tape. Wrap the non sticky side around your hand and press onto the hair. Perfect.

Grease
No matter how often you may clean the kitchen, grease will build up and it is a nightmare to get off. However, we have a trick up our sleeves! Simply heat your sponge in the microwave for about 20 seconds, spray on your kitchen cleaner and wipe the grease away. The hot sponge will make it come off a lot easier.

We know that Cara Delevingne doesn’t hold back when it comes to her social media antics, but we’re still a little bit shocked to see her launch a full on Twitter attack against Vogue magazine.

The model was hitting back at claims from the magazine who said that the model fell asleep during one of their interviews.

American Vogue’s Plum Skyes claimed that Cara was late for a meeting and said that the model always “always wakes up 10 minutes before she has to go anywhere.”

Plum went on to say that the model requested a massage before the interview and then fell asleep, causing the meeting to be cut short.

Skyes went on to write in the Vogue feature that the model was out partying the night before with Lily Allen.

But according the 21-year-old model was quick to respond to the articles publication and went on to attack the magazine and the fashion industry on Twitter.

Hmmm after those tweets it’s probably a good idea not to get on Cara’s bad side.

Adam Levine opened up recently about his upcoming wedding to model Behati Prinsloo, his “douchebag” reputation and the infamous Lindsay Lohan sex list.

The singer said there was no truth behind Lindsay’s list: “That’s not true. I did not have sexual intercourse with Lindsay Lohan.”

The actor went onto say that he wasn’t sure about other famous names on Lindsay’s list but said that he swears he didn’t have sex with her.

The Maroon 5 front man went on to talk about his internet reputation and said that he didn’t think he deserved the title of “douchebag”.

“Would it be really easy to assume that I was a douchebag? Definitely. 100 percent. But that doesn’t mean that I am. Or maybe I am, I don’t know.”

Adam has gotten a bad reputation for dating numerous models and has even been titled a womanizer, but the singer insists that those days are behind him.

“I was out there having fun, you know. I didn’t give a sh*t, and I got burned for it. People change; people grow up, get more self-aware and in tune with all this sh*t.”

Adam is set to marry Behati in Mexico in July.

Channing Tatum’s wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum thought she would treat her famous hubby to a relaxing day at the spa but revealed it soon turned into something a little more awkward for the couple.

Jenna and Channing went to an Indian spa in Canada and were both shocked by the spa’s unusual dress code.

“In Vancouver, there’s an Indian spa—and they don’t tell you this—they take you in there and they put you in a sari and then they take it off, so you’re completely butt naked.”

The actress went on to reveal that the lighting didn’t help the situation and Channing was completely mortified about what happened next

“You’re normally naked but it’s like dark lighting. First of all, there were really beautiful Indian women, so already I was like, ‘Maybe I’m regretting this.’ And then I’m watching Chan be mortified—this is the funniest part—because I’m sitting there in the steam so I go first and I’m like, ‘Oh, he has no idea’. Like, she saw him just sitting there naked and then they bring him out and he’s just completely naked, and she completely knows who he is, obviously.”

Chelsea who was interviewing Jenna about her trip to spa asked if Channing was completely naked during the massage to which Jenna confirmed that he was.

“Yes! He looks at me like, ‘I am going to kill you. It was quite mortifying for both of us.”

Melissa McCarthy became a household name thanks to her hit film Bridesmaids, but despite all of her fame and success the actress said she wasn’t always confident about herself in her early years.

“In my 20s I used to cry about why I wasn’t thinner or prettier, but I want to add that I also used to cry about things like: ‘I wish my hair would grow faster. I wish I had different shoes …I was an idiot … It’s a decade of tears.”

Melissa said she’s grown past her insecurities but is still aware of the nasty comments surrounding her acting and weight.

“I’ve never felt like I needed to change. I’ve always thought, ‘If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.’ But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you.”

Melissa said it’s thanks to her family and her supportive husband Ben Falcone that she now has more confidence in her abilities.

Dublin native Vogue Williams has a new role that has us all feeling a slightly jealous. The reality star-turned DJ-turned model is now the proud ambassador of Cocoa Brown Tan and we’re pretty sure she will never have to buy fake tan ever again!

Brian McFadden’s wife announced the news on Twitter, saying: “So excited to be an official brand ambassador for my favourite fan tan @CocoaBrownTan #BrownNotOrange.”

However, while we may be slightly jealous of her new role, we are certainly not envious of how she keeps her amazing figure!

The 28-year-old recently went for a body wrap sessions, whereby clingfilm is wapped around your body and a blanket put over you so you basically sweat off your fat. Talking about the session, Vogue said: “I sat on my ass for almost an hour and lost weight, delighted with life.”

And it seems it was certainly worth it, as she declared: “When it was finished, my skin was so smooth but the most amazing thing was that I’d actually lost inches, I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I could wear these wraps everywhere – they suck everything in!”

Help LUSH support the #FREEDOM campaign and smell good at the same time.

To celebrate Dublin Pride on Saturday, 28th June, LUSH fresh handmade cosmetics will be selling their Charity Pot hand and body lotion with all proceeds from the sale going towards Dublin Pride.

The funds raised will help fund the continued campaign for equality for same sex couples and the Dublin Pride festival.

Following the huge success of last year’s ‘Sweet Smell of Equality’ campaign, LUSH Dublin stores will once again be coming together with Dublin Pride to put their fragrant stamp on this year’s #FREEDOM campaign.

The hand and body lotion will be on sale on the LUSH stand within the Pride Village where they will also be holding various product- making workshops.

That’s not all, from 20th – 29th June, LUSH Dublin stores will act as information centres for the 2014 #Freedom campaign. Shoppers and supporters will be able to learn all about the importance of marriage for same-sex couples and their families and find out how to register and vote in next year’s referendum.

Last year LUSH collected over 3,000 signatures under their Marriage Equality petition and raised €2,600.

Apparently the X Men star is flying in to see his acting teacher who has both written and directed the play.

It seems likely that Hugh could be attending the play in Dublin as he is in London this week for Wimbledon and sources revealed that he plans on flying over from the UK for the play.

“Two tickets have been booked under the director’s name for the Friday performance, and he won’t tell anyone who it is.”

Eek! So the gorgeous Aussie could be arriving on Irish shores this Friday!
