Hair salons are one of our favourite places. They're warm, they're inviting and the stylists are our pals.

They want us to look fab, they do their best to help and we generally leave feeling pretty great about ourselves.

Oh, here's another thing about salons- you have to answer a lot of questions when you get there. And we mean a lot.

Here are just ten that get asked in the space of one appointment.

1 “Are you going anywhere nice tonight?”

Alternative

“Ya off out?”

2 "So, have you been watching X Factor?"

Alternative

"What do you make of Strictly this year?"

3 "Have you been straightening?"

Translation

"Your hair feels like straw and I resent having to deal with it."

4 "Who cut your hair last?"

Translation

"This is butchered and I sure as hell didn’t do it."

5 "Ya all set for Christmas?"

Alternative

"Have you any holidays planned?"

6 "Have you been using a hair protectant?"

Translation

 "I told you last time to use it and you didn't, ya scamp."

7) "Are you panicking? Sure, I’m only taking the ends, I promise."

Translation

 "Will you relax your shoulders babes!"

8) "What are we doing with ya today?"

Translation

"I am going to sort that mess right out, hun, don't worry."

9) "Now, be sure to drop back in for a trim in a few weeks, won’t you?"

Translation

"Don’t let your hair get like that again."

10) "Do you want a spritz?"

Translation

"Take a spritz."

An appointment wouldn't be an appointment without them and we hope they never end! 

"Sorry, did you ask me something?"

Prepare to either be getting ready to head out tonight, or getting some major college flashbacks. 

This video, by the DCU MPS, is basically every Irish night out ever. 

From "will you put tan on my back" to "do you not remember what you did last night" – prepare for some lols.

We all know that Professor Green doesn’t have any time for Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, and now things have gotten out of hand following Pro's latest outburst. 

The two came to blows (of the social media kind) when Millie fell out with Spencer on the reality TV show. 

Why did they fall out? Well, it probably had something to do with this:

Spencer then angered Pro Green when he said that he didn’t know how the rapper was putting up with Millie, who he also called a ‘show-pony’, with Green hitting back not long after: “Don’t utter a f***ing word about our engagement – it’s none of your f***ing business.”

However, we also kind of thought that they had agreed to disagree – but not so it would seem.

The rapper was performing in Chelsea when he launched what can only be described as a rather harsh attack on the MIC lothario, saying: “Shall we work out how many of us are friends and how many of us might not actually be friends? Not that I’m prejudiced, it’s just that I used to live around the corner and there are so many fu**ing cu**s here, I find it really difficult. In all fairness, there weren’t that many, there was just one really big cu** called Spencer.”

Ouch. We’re sure Pro Green loves to support and defend his wife, but isn’t it about time to let sleeping dogs lie? Your move, Spencer…

So many of us consider a day of shopping the ultimate treat… and then we do it. 

Why, oh why, do we always forget how stressful it can be?

Are we suffering from retail-induced amnesia or do we just refuse to admit that we find something which has been marketed to us as a traditional female pleasure completely unpleasurable at times?

Let’s all stand tall and admit that shopping is a MAJOR head-melt more often than not.

Here are 10 reasons why.

1) When the hangers don’t match the tags so finding your size on the rail is like an episode of Crystal Maze.

Question: Do the staff do it for their own personal entertainment?
Answer: Yes

2) When you’ve finally landed upon your dream dress and then discover a line of foundation along the collar.

Mmmm… another girl’s face. I’ll take it!

 

3) When the size 10 is too small and the size 12 is too big.

Why don’t sizes 9, 11, 13 and 15 exist? Why?

4) When a garment is absolutely perfect except for one detail which you can’t overlook.

Glitter epaulettes, anyone? *sigh*

5) When all ten items you’ve brought into the fitting room look so atrocious, you question your sanity and vision for having chosen them in the first place.

Get them off! Get them off!

6) When the mirrors are OUTSIDE the cubicle and you have to skulk out from behind the curtain to see yourself in ankle socks, hairy legs and a dress with glitter epaulettes.

It's fun being me.

7) When you’re dress shopping in winter and every fitting room expedition demands you strip off the 13 layers you dressed in.

This is a great way to spend a day. No, really.

8) Being told you’re only entitled to credit, so you take it as a personal challenge, but choose something you don’t even want, won’t even wear and aren’t even quite sure what it is.

Is it a cape? Is it a skirt? What are these tassels all about? I’d like one, please.

8) Being told it’s 3 for 2 on the rare occasion you couldn’t possibly need any more make-up or toiletries.

Argh, what’s this thing do? Nose-hair trimmer? Gimme and get me the hell out of here.

9) When a store decides you're three sizes larger than you actually are.

Thanks for that, guys.

10) Having no money and seeing all the things; having loads of money and seeing NONE of the things.

Why won’t you shut up and take my cash dammit!

Life can be an awkward thing to handle sometimes. From dreaded sex conversations to housemate trouble – it can all just be so damn AWKWARD! Here are some of life's most challenging conversations to have: 

1. The “no mom, I don’t need a sex-talk…anymore” convo
​Bit late there, ma. 

2. The “those aren’t my condoms, cigarettes or naggin of vodka” convo
​Ah, to be sixteen again…

3. The “do you have an, eh… condom” convo
​Because if not, this ain't happening!

4. The “can you please stop having such loud, horrible sex right above me” convo
​Housemates are the worst

5. The “did you eat all of my almond butter?” convo
​That shi* costs like five euro. 

6. The “I think we need to talk” convo
​It's not me, it's you. You wreck my head. 

7. The “erm…I’m not sure I can have three bridemaids” convo
​Oh gawwwd…

8. The “I’m seeing your ex” convo
​Even though they only shifted twice. 

9. The “we’re moving in together, no we’re not getting married” convo
​That escalated quickly.

10. The “you might want to make a list of anyone who’ve slept with in the last twelve months” convo​
After the anger subsides you realise you have some awkward moments ahead.

There are worries for X Factor contestant Andrea Faustini after he reportedly barricaded himself in a room for 12 hours following last Sunday's showdown with Stevi Ritchie. 

Andrea was said to have 'fled' the X Factor studios after his sing-off, causing worry for his well-being. 

Staff at the hotel were said to be worried about the singer’s unwillingness to answer his door, and pleaded with him for hours until he finally emerged. It was said his sister Elena had also been in the room with him.

There are now fears he will not be able to perform on the reality TV show this weekend. 

Poor Andrea, we hope he feels better soon; this kind of pressure is never good for anybody.

Poor Abigail Breslin has become the target of online trolls after she released a song called You Suck which is rumoured to be about 5 Seconds of Summer singer, Michael Clifford.

The 18-year-old Little Miss Sunshine actress released the video yesterday and it sees her seemingly slamming the boyband member with lines such as “I hate the scar above your eye, it looks like you’re on drugs” and “Bleaching your hair, I hope it all falls out.”

Eek, pretty mean stuff mean. Now, #AbigailYouTried is trending on Twitter and fans of Michael are far from impressed at the young actress’ musical debut:

Abigail spoke about the song recently in Teen Vogue, saying: “This is a song I wrote about those guys who are players and use people and just generally aren’t really good people. It’s about things I’ve witnessed; it’s not okay when guys don’t have respect for girls. I wrote it in the heat of the moment and I think a lot of people will relate to it.”

We’ve had amazing kisses worthy of a Hollywood film (if shifting in torrential rain counts). We've had mediocre kisses that take place when we’re both rushing out the door. And we've had woeful kisses we’d much rather forget. Be gone, GAA disco memories.

But how much do we actually know about the art of puckering up?

Here are ten super-important facts that you should commit to memory now before it’s too late.

1) French kissing, which uses all 34 facial muscles, burns 26 calories per minute!

That’s why making-out is so important after a romantic four course meal and calorie-laden cocktails.

2) The world’s longest kiss lasted a whopping 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.

Take a bow, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat of Thailand!

3) Approximately two-thirds of people tilt their head to the right before going in for the kill.

The other way feels like head gymnastics, right?

4) Chimpanzees often smooch each other after a fight.

We’re not the only ones who need to kiss and make up every now and again!

5) The fear of kissing is known as philemaphobia.

We kinda wish we’d suffered from that during our school discos. Blergh.

6) Kissing is good for your gnashers.

So, don’t beat yourself up if your dental floss is gathering dust in the bathroom.

7) It has been known for some women to reach orgasm through kissing alone.

Even more reason to get back to basics with your boyfriend, right?

8) An Eskimo Kiss is the act of rubbing your nose off your partners while snogging.

It’s weird and, inexplicably, cute.

9) When two people kiss, they exchange between 10 million and one billion germs.

Moving on. Moving on NOW.

10) People tend to remember their first kiss more vividly than the first time they had sex.

Spin the bottle. Third Year. Hot.

This cute German Shepard probably loves his human, but it's clear he has had enough of the singing. 

Maximus is seen here trying to relax in peace until his owner begins singing the Trololo song, and begins to whimper before breaking out into a fully-fledged howl that, if translated, would probably sound something like: "Shhuuuuuuttttt upppppp".

Spongebob SquarePants first aired in 1999 and we, like the rest of our generation, became immediate fans of adorable Bob, bad-tempered Squidward and the whole Bikini Bottom gang.

Following the adventures of a sponge, who lived under the sea in a two-storey pineapple and earned a wage working in a fast-food restaurant, was our favourite after-school activity.

So we just can’t WAIT for the release of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water early next year which sees SpongeBob and the crew tackle a whole new world!

3-D, you say? We are ready!
