We all used to love playing with bubbles when we were kids, right? Popular youtube-group The Slow Mo Guys have taken our love of bubbles to the next level by filming them popping in super slow motion. Its totally hypnotic, and oddly soothing to watch. Take a look for yourself.

It looks like a baby could be on the way soon for Lena Dunham –  if her boyfriend has anything to do with it!

According to Jack Antonoff, the two are older now and things are getting very serious indeed: “It just seems like the most fun thing in the world. I’ve never met people who have kids who haven’t looked me in the eye and been like ‘It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened.”‘

The Fun guitarist also appears to have a grown-up approach to life, saying: “I think it’s biological. I’m 30. I’m not that young, right? I’m not like, 24, or 22. I’m no longer in the phase of my life when I talk about everything in the future. I’m in the future.”

Aww, how sweet would these two be with a little baby?

We wonder if they would write a pregnancy into Girls?! Somehow we can’t imagine Hannah with a baby!

Exercise is important for helping to keep your body and mind fit and healthy. However, some ladies are a little bit lax about working out – citing the fact that gyms are expensive or a lack of time.

Running is one of the easiest workouts you can do: it’s free, it’s right outside your door, you can go for however long you like and you can set your own pace.

Here are four tips for the beginner runner:

Slow and steady
For your first run, go slow and steady but remember to slightly challenge yourself. Don’t expect yourself to do 5km the first time – give yourself a chance – and go at a slow, steady pace.

Run/walk
If you haven’t run since primary school, it might be a good idea to go at a run/walk pace. When starting, run for 4 minutes and walk for 1 minute. As you get better, increase your runs and decrease your walks.

Deal with stitches
Even the most experienced runners get stitches, so expect it. If you do get one, simply slow down and breathe deeply.

Listen to your body
Your body may struggle at first but while you do want to challenge yourself, make sure you listen to it if it starts to hurt – you don’t want to end up with an injury after you have just gotten into the swing of it.

If we saw these while sober we would probably gag, but once we have a few drinks in us we practically dream of them! Here are our ten favourite drunk foods:

1. 3-in-1
Mmm….a 3-in-1 is a serious favourite of people after a night out. That combination of rice, curry and chips will be scoffed in two mouthfuls.

3-in-1-Just-Eat.ie_-300x2202. Kebabs
These are the messiest of drunken foods, loved by the nation as a whole.

Doner Kebab3. A sneaky McDonalds
Nothing better than a Quarter Pounder after a night out – until you wake up the next day and it’s still sitting in your stomach, bleugh…

giphy4. Garlic cheese chips
An Irish staple after a night out.

P10200485. Chicken fillet roll
A student classic – and we can see why. Mmm….

Spice, cheese and melt-in-your-mouth meat, what’s not to love?

Lolita's_California_Burrito7. Dodgy pizza
You find it in your fridge when you come home. You’re pretty sure it hasn’t been there THAT long, right?

This concoction is going to make your life hell in the morning. Just saying…

It’s never okay to body shame any woman as far as we are concerned – no matter who you are.

That is why Donald Trump has caused a stir with his recent comments regarding Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez.

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show earlier in the week, the business magnate was asked who he found more appealing, Kim or JLo, to which he answered neither.

When pressed further on whether he felt Kim’s bum was too big, he said: “Well absolutely, it’s record setting. In the old days, they’d say she had a bad body … I’d pass on both of them.”

We’re sure the ladies will be heartbroken over this missed opportunity, Donald.

Well, we think you are both perfect girls, so keep on working it!

Lorna had always been a lover of fashion – but it was only just a year and half ago when she finally decided to “bite the bullet” and create a style blog of her own; LC’s Closet.

Since its creation, LC’s Closet  has become one of the most successful, Irish fashion blogs out there. Lorna has even been featured fashioning her own style creations in the likes of the Daily Mail and Look magazines.

Lorna mostly blogs about her own personal style choices, and regularly features snaps of herself posing in some of her favourite looks, as well as sharing photos of stylish items that she would like to purchase in the future.

SHEmazing! caught up with Lorna, who let us in on her own fashion must-haves:

What item do you think every girl should have in her closet?
Every girl should have a really great pair of skinny jeans. Skinny jeans really are a wardrobe staple. So many girls have said to me that skinny jeans don’t suit them, and once upon a time I thought the exact same thing. Truth be told, skinny jeans look amazing on everyone, you just have to find the right pair. Once you have the right pair they can be worn time and time again. They are so effortlessly chic and look just good worn for casual wear or dressed up to wear out for dinner or to a club. I’d definitely recommend that every girl should have at least one pair of black and one pair of dark denim jeans in their wardrobe, as these colours are slimming on the figure and are super flattering.

What’s the most expensive item of clothing of you’ve bought?
I tend to invest in my accessories more so than clothes, so I have a few expensive handbags, some shoes and jewellery. The most expensive thing I have bought is definitely a diamond and gold ring I treated myself to after I was awarded my Ph.D. in February. Focusing on clothes, the most expensive item of clothing I have ever bought myself is probably my first graduation dress. All of my graduation dresses have been quite expensive but I spent the most money on my first one. I bought it in New York when I was on my J1 and had to get it ordered especially. That was almost six years and I still love the dress as much today as I did when bought it. It’s such a statement, yet classic dress that will never go out of style.

What’s your best bargain?
A white coat I found on the sale rail in Penneys for €7 almost two years ago. The fit and cut of the coat is impeccable. It is amazing and transforms any outfit I wear it. People are always so surprised when I tell them it’s from Penneys, as they expect it to much more expensive.

What would you say is your favourite accessory?
Right now I’d have to say my fuchsia Michael Kors bag. I also treated myself to this the day I was awarded my Ph.D. kind of as a token to look back on to remember the day. It is such a stand out, statement piece. The colour is so so beautiful and it goes with so many different looks, which is always what you should look for with your accessories.

If you could only shop in one store for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Without a shadow of a doubt it has to be Topshop! I absolutely love Topshop and have done for well over 10 years. I don’t think I have ever gone into a Topshop store without seeing something I wanted to buy. Season after season they knock it out of the park in terms of having the latest fashionable and innovative designs. The quality of their products is amazing too and they fit so well. Quality and fit are really important to me when I buy clothes because I want things that will last and that I can pull out again and again. So Topshop definitely fits the bill.

British author and broadcaster, Alex Bellos, has blown our minds today – by revealing we’ve been cutting our favourite cakes the wrong way, this whole time!

Alex revealed in a cool video that by cutting slices out of the middle of our favourite cakes as opposed to sides, will not only give you a great portion, but also preserve the cake’s texture for days to come.

We can’t believe we’ve been cutting cakes wrong our entire lives.

Shane Filan confirmed on Twitter last night that he will be supporting Garth Brooks in Croke Park this July.

This news has thankfully put rumours to rest about the country western singer having to cancel the five night show.

While Shane’s Westlife past means he is no stranger to big stadium gigs, this is a huge step for him in his solo career.

That stage is going to look a whole lot bigger when he’s up there on his own though!

While we’ve seen our fair share of engagement announcements – Cindy Gauthier and Jean-Nicola Barile’s unusual but sweet way of announcing their upcoming nuptials, has to be our favourite so far.

It seems Cindy like us, is a big fan of The Notebook and thought what better way to share her good news, than by recreating the most iconic scenes from the romantic film with her husband to be.

We have to say they did a good job, and it must be true love if Jean-Nicole was willing to go through all of those poses for his fiancée.

A US magazine has reported that Justin Bieber has gotten two women pregnant since his rise to fame in 2010, but Justin’s PR team covered up the scandals to protect his image.

A source told the magazine that “he just expects them to handle it” and that the women involved are “dealt with”. If it’s found that their claims are actually true they are “taken care of financially” and never come in contact with Justin again.

Apparently Justin’s rep had no comment to make on the pregnancies.

Oh dear!
