The true BFF will know exactly what to say – whether you want to hear it or not! Here are the signs you have a BFF you can truly count on.

1. They give you constructive criticism about how you dress
If they criticise your dress sense it means that they just want you looking the best you can.

2. You can call them at anytime
Whether it’s 9 in the morning or 3 o’clock at night they will always be there to talk to. Most of the time, you ring them about something stupid like how you’re going to die because of that pimple on your face. When the conversation is more serious they’re always there to listen.

3. They will always answer the phone by insulting you
When you have known each other for so long, they don’t just say hi. They have to think of the worst name imaginable to call you when they answer the phone. “Hey stink breath, what’s up assmuncher?” It’s their twisted way of saying hey buddy.

4. They know every little detail about you
They know that really you’re a junk food monster and that your favourite show is still Spongebob Squarepants. You trust them with this information and now that if you ever screw up they can blackmail you with your own secrets.

5. They know why you’re in a bad mood
They can tell if you’re having a bad day, so they know how to act when you’re  in a mood. They will keep the conversation light, but every now and again they will try piss you off even more just because they know they can.

6.  They always know how to raise your spirits
Sometimes it’s just them saying something really stupid that makes you crack a smile, but  a lot of the time it’s just having someone to talk to that makes you feel better. If it gets your mind off things and sometimes you even forget what you were annoyed about.

7. A text from them can instantly change your mood
You immediately light up when you get a text off them. Even if it’s the most stupid thing imaginable you’re just glad that they text. You know that they’re also having the most boring day possible.

8. They stop you from doing stupid things
If you’re insanely drunk and have no controls of your actions, they will make sure you don’t make a fool of yourself.

9. Sometimes you don’t need words to communicate
When something hilarious happens and you don’t want to burst out laughing in front of everyone, you look at them and they just know.

10. They slag you when your single and when you’re in relationship
When you’re single they slag you about how lonely you are and that you need a boyfriend or girlfriend. Then when you’re in a relationship with someone they say that you’re whipped and that you don’t spend any time with them anymore, which is probably true.

11. They put up with you blabbering on about how great your boyfriend/girlfriend is
They have to deal with you rambling on about your relationship and your loved up antics. They know that soon enough you will break up with them and you will come crawling back to them .

Eye Roll

12. They also know when they’re not right for you
They know your type, so when someone comes along they will always tell you to find someone else. You usually say that you don’t care you and that you like them. Sooner or later you will realise just how right they were.

13. They force you to go out, because they know you need it
So you’re still broken up over your last relationship and really need to get back in the game. Your friends will aways try and get you to go out, because you have been sitting in your house moping for the last 2 months. You will always be glad that you did go out with them in the end.

14. If you’re broke, they will pay for your drinks
If you give them the excuse that you’re broke they will say that they will pay for your drinks. The best part is that you say you will pay them back, but they won’t really care if you don’t.

15. When you see each other you make faces like this

16. They only post the good photos of you on Facebook

17. Their Snapchat is the reason you almost wet yourself
So you’re sitting on the bus minding your own business and then you see you got a new Snapchat. You got to check and try to keep it in, but you burst out laughing and everyone looks at you like your mad.

18. You can’t lie to them, because they can see through your bullshit
They know exactly when you’re lying and the reason you do as well. You have known each other for so long that you don’t even try to lie to them.

Bullshit

19. They ridicule your bad jokes
You say something that you think is hilarious, but they let you know straight away that it was a terrible joke. In all fairness, it’s probably a good thing, so your joke won’t bomb when you go to tell it to everyone in work.

20. They will always call you out when you mess up your words or use bad grammar
When you accidentally mess up your words or don’t pronounce a word correctly, they will always correct you. Even when you post something on Facebook, they will always be the one to put * next to a word.

21. When you haven’t seen each other in a while, you go to their house and watch horror movies
So it’s exam time and you’re really busy so you don’t get to see them much. You know though that once it’s all over you will get to hang out together, all you need is a time and a place. Everyone knows that when it’s movie night you can’t back out.

22. They will drop everything if they hear you had a bad break-up
They will always find time or make time  to be with you if you’re going through a break-up. They know that some Chinese takeaway and a good comedy is the best start to getting you back on track.

friends-drop-everything

23. They are always a shoulder to cry on
When things get really bad and messy they will always be there to reach out to. They will put up with your sobbing and won’t judge you because they have been there before.

26. They will always take your side
If you’re in an argument with someone they will always have your back. They will take your side, even when they don’t know what the argument is about.

tumblr_mg376mlCaV1qhrgpmo1_500

27. Until they realise how stupid your argument is
Then they suddenly realise how illogical your argument is and that your coming off as stupid. They don’t say anything, they just watch as you get torn to pieces.

giphy

28. They will end up being your bridesmaid
One thing you know for sure you will have a tough time picking your bridesmaids and best men. So you just end up having them all all as your bridesmaids and or best man.

If you’ve ever spotted someone on the street and wondered where you could get a dress just like their’s, Kate Bosworth’s app is the thing you need.

All you have to do is snap a photo of the thing you’re looking for, and the app, called Style Thief, will do an image search online to see where it’s available to buy. In order to make money, Style Thief will then receive a commission of the retail sales.

Bosworth explained her idea: “Everyone has fashion envy. Everyone can relate to that feeling of looking at an editorial, for example – or a friend, or the runway, for that matter – wanting to steal something exactly as you’re seeing it, or something similar.”

There are a few other similar apps around, but none that have really taken the world by storm, so Kate has plenty of opportunity to cause a splash.

We think the idea sounds great, though it might be a tad awkward if we start snapping photos of strangers on the street!

Actress Jaime King shared a heartbreaking throwback photo of herself recently.

The image features the actress as a younger woman, about 16-years-old, when she was struggling with heroin and alcohol dependency.

Taken by her former boyfriend, who sadly passed away in 1997, Davide Sorrenti, Jaime remembers her past love: “Oh Davide, we got into so much trouble with this picture. At least we know the depth of what we were capturing #lostart #thislifeisprecious.”

Davide died of a kidney ailment thought to be caused by excessive use of heroin. He and Jaime were dating at the time of his death.

Following his death, the young Jaime received help for her addiction issues and went on to become a successful actress. She is now mum to one-year-old cutie, James.

Kim Kardashian has been accused of altering an image she uploaded to her Instagram account.

The photo features the reality TV star looking beautiful in a stunning white and gold dress with a caption reading: “Throwback to a few years ago #SkinnyDays #OnTheTreadmillRightNow.”

However, it has been pointed out that by The Mirror that the image may have been altered as the zip, visible in the original photo, has disappeared.

We’re not so sure Kimmy drastically changed the image, perhaps a few tweaks, although, aren’t we all guilty of that?!

When two couples book Gumbo the clown for 5 kids parties in a row, the neighbours have something to say.  The creators have said  that ‘All characters are fictitious. Those appearing similar to Garth Brooks fans or certain County Councils and/or music promoters is purely coincidental’. The best bit, it stars Caroline Morahan.

Without a doubt, Dr Charles Eugster has got to be the world’s fittest 94-year-old. In fact, he is the World’s Fittest Old Age Pensioner and believes good nutrition and exercise are the best ways to stay healthy.

Charles doesn’t take any medication and has no ailments like any other person in their nineties would have. However, he doesn’t believe it is just him who can be fit and healthy, saying: “For me, growing old is a joy; it’s wonderful, it’s one of the best parts of my life and that could be for everybody. Most of us can be healthy in old age.”

Proving just how fit he is, last year, the 34 times winner of the World Masters Rowing Championship completed the Strenflex European Championships where he did 61 chin-ups, 50 push-ups, 48 abdominal crunches and 57 dips – we can’t even do one chin-up, eek!

Working out in the gym three to four times a week, Charles believes you can change your ways, no matter your age: “Old age can be a chamber of horrors but it’s never too late to change your life and try something new.”

So, there’s hope for us yet!

Some guys just have it all, don’t they? Sweet, kind, gentle, loving, you name it, he is it! Here are the 15 signs you may have bagged yourself Prince Charming himself.

1. He makes you laugh
A sense of humour is one of the most underrated qualities in a person. If he can make you laugh, you’ll always be entertained with him and you’ll enjoy his company that much more.

Laughing

2. He takes care of you when you’re sick
If you ever felt like you were doubting how much he cares about you, if he takes care of you when you’re sick and sniffly, you’ve got yourself a keeper.

3. He doesn’t check out other girls when he’s with you
Every man and woman does it, and it’s okay. You check out that ass that just walked by but don’t ever do it in the presence of your girlfriend or boyfriend. That’s always a big no no, it’s just downright disrespectful.

Checking Out

4. He laughs at your jokes
He laughs at your jokes, not because he feels like he has to, but because he genuinely finds them funny. There’s a sense of ease and comfort when you talk with one another – nothing is forced.

Arrogant

5. He buys you great gifts
Any guy who has mastered the art of buying girl presents is a king among us mere mortals. What do girls like? We don’t even know what we want so picking out a girlfriend’s present is one of the toughest tests a man will ever have to face.

Birthday

6. His personality doesn’t drastically change when he’s drunk
He doesn’t have a schizophrenic alter ego who appears after 4 drinks. All of our personalities get a bit more obnoxious when we’re drunk, but there is a limit to how far the acceptable amount can go. If he doesn’t start flipping tables, mouthing off and embarrassing you in public when he’s drunk, he’s probably okay.

7. He has plenty of guy friends
He has plenty of guy friends to hang out with, so he won’t become the overly-attached OBSESSIVE boyfriend. He has other people to spend his time with when you’re out with your girls.

tumblr_lqe57r75KU1ql16g8o1_250

8. He’s always honest with you
He’s not shady and he doesn’t lie to you. This is always a good indicator of someone’s personality. If he lies about the trivial small things, what makes you think he wouldn’t lie about the bigger things, like cheating?

PEAce

9. He has an interest in what you do
He takes an interest in your job and your hobbies. That’s how you’ll know that he’s DEFINITELY into you. Tick!

Intrigued

10. He cuddles after sex
He won’t do the deed and roll over to face the wall. Sex with you is more to him.

200_s

11. He encourages you to have girls’ nights
He doesn’t try and keep you from your friends or want to spend every second of every day with you. He knows that your friends are just as important as he is and encourages you to see them too.

12. He is pretty useful in the kitchen
If he can cook anything more substantial than two slices of toast, that’s a big plus. If he ever brings you up breakfast in bed without you asking, he’ll immediately hold the key to your heart.

FGF

13. He’s not afraid to stand up for himself and his loved ones
He doesn’t take any sh**, and he will always stand up for his friends, family and you if anything ever kicks off.

Protect

14. He knows when to give you your space
He knows that you need your time alone and doesn’t harass you or make you feel guilty for not spending time with him when you’re not feeling well.

xx

15. He surprises you with the occasional night out or gift
He whisks you out to dinner, surprises you with a gift or a weekend away. And it’s not even your birthday, anniversary or Christmas, whaaaat?!

They make your clothes smell lovely and feel soft, but dryer sheets can come in handier than you might have thought. Here are seven alternative uses for those little scented sheets:

Get rid of static from clothes
If your favourite dress is full of static and sticking to all the wrong places, get a dryer sheet and rub it over the dress. For some reason this takes the static out of the material.

Keep rats and mice away
It must be the smell, but if you stuff some dryer sheets in the nooks and crannies of your house and garage, then this is said to keep rodents away.

Keep your feet smelling nice
If you have a problem with stinky feet, put a dryer sheet in each shoe. The next time you take your shoes off at your friend’s house, you won’t be so worried about the smell.

Car Freshener
Typical air fresheners can often be too much or simply get in the way when you’re driving. Stuff some dryer sheets under seats to keep your car smelling fresh and clean.

Keep bugs away
There’s nothing worse than being bitten by bugs at a barbeque. Rub a dryer sheet over your skin beforehand, and this should keep those pesky midgets at bay.

Clean your pots
For some reason, dryer sheets do a great job when it comes to cleaning pots. Pour some warm water into the pot, add a dryer sheet and the washing up should be a breeze.

Scrub the shower
Who knew some dryer sheets would be good for cleaning the scum off the shower? Try it on kitchen tiles too.

Although Buff Make-Up has been around for two years, you may not have heard of them – making them the best-kept beauty secret out there.

The brand began in Hessions salon in Drumcondra and is both Irish owned and run (yey!).  Our beauty expert Odette popped along to their recent beauty event in the Westbury hotel to learn more

As we took our seats, Buff Make-Up’s new creative director Jessica Moulds and the rest of the team made us feel really at ease and welcome – a feeling I’m sure is mirrored in their salons in Drumcondra and Clontarf.

There is a gorgeous array of products in their range, like their coveted HD foundation, their super creamy long lasting lipsticks and highly pigmented eyeshadows that would give MAC a run for their money any day.

During their demonstration, we were walked through two beautiful makeup looks –  a dramatic smoky eye and a soft wedding day look – which really highlighted some of their best-loved items. And while there was a lot to choose from, three products really caught my eye.

The first was their Sheer Glo (€36), a gorgeous light-reflecting, illuminating liquid. It can be worn under or over make-up, comes in three shades and gives a natural glow without looking glittery.

My second must-have is their blush in Orgasmic (€21.50) which is a beautiful pinky-coral shade with a really delicate shimmer. It’s beautifully pigmented without looking over powering on the cheek and is a perfect summery shade that will look great on Irish skin tones.

My final pick is their Dual Powder (€32.00). I love multifunction products that give you the best bang for your buck. This product can be used as a light coverage foundation, swept over the face with a large brush or as a setting powder over liquid foundation. It can even be applied with a damp sponge or stippling brush to create a cream foundation.

If this was your the first time hearing of this brand, trust me it won’t be the last; Buff Make-Up will soon be the number one luxury Irish makeup brand out there in no time.
