Love camping, but don’t fancy the idea of sleeping in a smelly tent? Well, you need to go glamping.

Glamping is the camping for girls who like a little luxury but still know how to rough it, slightly…

These three spots are perfect for the Bank Holiday weekend:

Grove Land Glamping, Killarney, Co. Kerry
Want adventure with a little bit of comfort then you need to head here. There are Bell tents with double beds, patio furniture, fuel stove, an iPod dock and even carpet – sounds like bliss. If it all gets too much for you, you can even head to the leisure club and spa at Randles Court Hotel.

River Valley Holiday Park, Co. Wicklow
Now this is camping with a difference! Here you can rent a microlodge that comes equipped with a kettle and fridge – absolute necessities! Why not rent a Kukoo Hut which is designed like a bird house!

Whispering Willow Galway Glamping Co. Galway
Book a Mongolian Yurt and feel like you are in Central Asia or a Bell tent and pretend you are on safari in Africa or why not just go for a cabin right beside the Abbert River.

The Come and Get It singer, Selena Gomez turns 22 today and is definitely making the most of it!

The singer was spotted celebrating her birthday with new famous pal, Cara Delevingne.

Both Cara and Selena have been spotted in St. Tropez in the last week, where they’ve been parasailing and making the most of the sun.

Selena also received a sweet birthday message online from her pal Taylor Swift. Taylor posted a picture of her holding an S necklace.

“Usually this S represents ‘Swift’ but today I’m wearing it because SELENA IS 22!!!!”

No signs of Justin though, which adds to the rumours that all is not well between Gomez and Bieber. But judging by the recent snaps Selena is too fussed about him anyway.

Bey and Jay-Z’s marriage is on the rocks according to the New York Post,  after it claimed yesterday that the couple were already planning their separation.

Speculation began after one source said that the couple had planned on separating, once they had completed their On The Run tour.

But Beyoncé responded to the rumours in the only way she can, through Instagram!

Yesterday, the singer shared a family snap of her and Jay-Z holding the hands of their daughter Blue Ivy.

Then this evening, the Flawless singer shared an interesting picture of herself as the World War II icon, Rosie Riverter.

Hmmm one thing is for sure, Beyoncé is determined not to let the rumours get to her.

What was the last really good rom-com? Could it have been as far back as 10 Things I Hate About You? Surely not!

Well, it was AGES ago anyway, but after looking at the trailer for Daniel Radcliffe’s new film What If , we have high hopes that this will be the thing we’ve been searching for.  Adam Driver from Girls is in it too, which has us even more excited. Watch this trailer and see for yourself!

Heat magazine has complied a list of the 101 Hottest Hunks from across the world, and the results aren't that surprising.

Zac Efron has been voted 2014’s hottest man alive. He’s come a long way since his High School Musical days and has swooned a lot of ladies in the process.

Also who could forget the moment at the MTV Movie Awards where Rita Ora ripped off his shirt. Thanks Rita!

The other famous and gorgeous hunks who also made the top ten were; Tom Daley, David Beckham, Ryan Gosling and not forgetting our very own, Jamie Dornan!

There are some items that seem to appear as a collection in every student’s fridge. It’s like they get it as a welcome package. A tasty one.

1. Cheese
Cheese is just the most delicious thing in the world. It’s like a little taste of heaven. However cheese is not cheap and therefore it is like gold dust. Any time you go to take a few slices of that beautiful mature cheddar, the block slowly gets smaller and smaller before you’ve even taken the grater out of the cupboard. Those animals.

2. Sweet Chilli Sauce.
It doesn’t matter what you’re cooking, sweet chilli sauce goes with everything. Pasta, sandwhiches, chips, chicken. If it’s raw, burned, gone off. Sweet chilli sauce will save it.

3. Pasta
Pasta for every single meal is perfectly normal as a student. After a time, you even have your favourite type.

4. Pasta Sauce
What goes well with pasta? Tomatoe and Basil pasta sauce of course! If you’re trying to watch your diet you can get sauce with mushroom or if you’re feeling a bit wild why not some spicy pepper?

It won’t look like this…

5. Fajita Kits
Fajita kits everywhere, except that you’re too stingy to buy chicken fillets so you just use the wraps when you run out of bread, and Tom tried to eat the salsa when he was drunk. Anyone who offers to cook dinner, it’s going to be fajitas.

6. Beans and Spaghetti
If a nuclear war does ever come into fruition you are sorted with tinned goods.

7. Noodles
20 cent noodles. It’s not a question of how many do you need but how many can you carry.

8. Oranges
You had good intentions that one time and now they’re into their second phase of mould.

9. The Phantom Onion
You don’t know where it came from, you don’t know how it got into the vegetable drawer of your fridge but it did and yet no one thinks of throwing it out.

9.Mooju
This is generally in the fridge on a Friday morning after a night on the beer. Who would think that some chocolatey milkey goodness could cure what ails you but it does. It really really does. All hail Mooju.

10. Frozen Chicken Dippers
You can put them in anything, they’re great. They are what holds a meal together. 2.30am in the morning though, leave the oven alone, you are not in a position to operate heavy machinery.

11. Left Over Pizza
No one would order takeaway with you so you couldn’t get your meal over a tenner for free delivery. You do what any sane person does and buy a second pizza so you can have some saintly pepperoni for the morning to.

12. Rustlers Burgers
A college students life saver. Its a pre-made burger, bun and all that you pop into the microwave for a minute and voilà! Dinner is served!

13. Cereal
You will never see as much cereal as in a student’s house. For some it will be choco pops, for the rich it will be the original great tasting flavour of coco pops. Sadly though, no one ever thinks of buying milk and if they do, it’s more then likely left out all day.

14. Mammy Meals.
These are just the worst. Sunday evening they prance into the house on their little high horse with about 10 lunch boxes filled with lasagna’s, shepards pie and curry. These pretenders who believe they’re living the student life but they’re just big fat phoneys! What’s worse is they then take up all the freezer space with you having no place to put your prison food.

And then they have the audacity, no, the gumption to ask would anyone like to get some takeaway with their expendable cash.

Anna-Leigh Rackard is not only an Irish beauty blogger, she is also a qualified make-up artist so you know you can trust her tips and advice! The Blusher Diaries is Anna-Leigh’s little escape where she can talk about things that she loves – beauty. It's not all about cosmetics and beauty products though, The Blusher Diaries also touches on lifestyle and fashion so there is plenty for the style conscious and beauty loving Irish girl. 

SHEmazing! caught up with Anna-Leigh who let us in on her secrets and tips:

What is your best budget beauty buy?
My best budget beauty buy would be the Maybelline Fit Me concealer – I love this for under my eyes! It covers well, brightens under my eyes and last all day! This has replaced my MAC prolong wear concealer, recently. 

What is your top make-up tip?
Well I don't know how I could survive without this tip especially for an eyeliner junkie like myself. I use Sellotape (make sure most of stickiness is removed on back of your hand first) to do my cat flick liner, using it as a straight edge to create the perfect flick. Instead of spending 20 minutes at my liner – in two minutes I'm done. 

Most girls have much-loved lipstick – what's yours?
I'm huge fan of the Urban Decay Revolutionary lipsticks! I love their shade range and how moisturising they are!!

What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
I think my first perfume was Kate Moss – loved it! I'm currently wearing a Jo Malone perfume I got for Christmas! It's divine. When I want to feel ultra glam I use this! 

You're only allowed use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
Oh jeepers, this is a toughie! Well, an eyebrow gel for sure – have to have my eyebrows in place. A concealer to cover my dark circles and any other blemishes and a lip balm! Can't go anywhere without a lip balm!

A restaurant in Kerry has put up a sign banning ‘loud Americans’ from their premises.

Peter’s Place in Waterville, Co. Kerry have caused outrage with the sign which read: “No Bus/Coach or loud Americans. Thank you.” And it’s not only tourists who aren’t happy with the sign – locals are angry as they depend on the tourist season to make a lot of their money, and a sign like this will tarnish the town’s reputation.

People took to Twitter to vent. One person quipped: “It must be nice to have your money made.”

Another said: “I’m not an American but Waterville must be the weirdest and most unfriendly place I’ve ever visited in Ireland or even the world.”

Yikes. That was NOT a smart move guys!

Eek, Lauren Conrad is not happy – and it’s not hard to see why!

Allure magazine featured an article called ‘Typecasting’ in which they decided which celeb would fill the perfect character in a movie.

Lauren is labelled as the ‘basic’ in the article, which Know Your Meme describe as: “an individual who displays cliché, conformist or otherwise predictable character trait.”

The reality TV star turned entrepreneur was clearly less than impressed at the label given to her by Allure, taking to her Twitter and writing: “I definitely just got called a basic b*tch! Haha! Sausage curls!? Really @Allure_magazine?”
