There is something about a delicious scent that can really make it feel like summer, even if the sun has failed to show its head. And if we’re being honest, probably won’t – *sad face*

However, the fresh new collection from LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics has come to the rescue with their delicious scents that smell good enough to eat – but you definitely shouldn’t!  The new range includes bath treats, shaving creams and hair styling products so there is bound to be something for everyone.

For hair there’s Zest hair gelly – a self-preserving orangey hair jelly that gives both your hair and mood a boost., It contains sweet wild orange oil, pettigrain oil from the twigs of the bitter orange tree and neroli oil from the flowers of the bitter orange tree and will give your hair great hold, without feeling greasy.

There is something about a nice relaxing bath after a really long day and we highly recommend you pop a Granny Takes a Dip bath bomb in.  It is a multi-coloured bath bomb that contains an uplifting, spicy citrus scent, perfect for relaxing in after a long day. Its spicy, citrusy scent will pep you up while the lemon oil will boost your mood.

Not forgetting the legs, there’s the D’Fluff shaving cream. Made with strawberries, coconut oil, maple and corn syrups and egg whites you might mistake it for something edible.

Not only do the products smell amazing, they are all guilt-free as they are self-preserving and cruelty -free.

So, you have finally got a date with THAT hottie, now it’s time for the stress of actually going on it! Agh!

1. It’s always good to have a glass of wine to loosen up while you’re getting ready…or is it? Yes, it is!

2. Pinterest is always a bad idea before you have to be somewhere. Before you know it you have 4 new boards: one for food because you’re super hungry and three others with dream wardrobes full of clothes you would never actually wear.

3. Your BFF calls you to find out what you’re gonna wear…and you have no idea. So, you talk her through your whole wardrobe, obvs.

4. Noticing the time, you urgently end the phonecall, with your friend demanding you introduce him to her. Hanging up in a panic you begin internally debating if you could get away with not washing your hair and drowning yourself in perfume.

5. Realising that you haven’t even brushed your hair since Tuesday you reckon you should probably hop into the shower … when the next ad break come on. It’s not often they show this episode of The Simpsons. Then you’ll actually start getting ready.

6. Ok, shower time it is! Time to weigh up the odds of you getting laid or not, after all there’s nothing more devastating then shaving your legs for nothing. It’s the weekend anyway, so you figure you might as well and hope it’s worth the effort.

7. Growing weary of shaving your legs, you start doubting the fact that this will go anywhere. Powering through, you finally finish your legs, after what seems like an eternity. “He better be fu***** worth it.”

8. As you prep yourself in the shower, you can’t help but allow those pesky questions to enter your head: What if he’s not as good looking as you thought? What if he doesn’t show up? Oh God…

9. “How did I spend that long in the shower?” No time to think, better get started on drying my hair. The next 25 minutes will be filled with trying to find your hair dryer and finding yourself trying to do that cool braided hairstyle you saw earlier on Pinterest. Bad idea.

10. After a while you realise it’s not going so well and taking waaaay too long. Nooooooo! How the hell am I going to be ready in time!?! Half your head is heavily braided. He’s going to think I look insane. Can’t handle this, must de-stress, a small glass of wine won’t do any harm.

11. Right, glass of wine in hand. Time to fix the hair situation. Running your straightener through your hair as fast as possible, you’re happy to finally look like a normal person again. Before swiftly realising you have absolutely no make up on and no idea what you’re wearing.

12. A huge pile of clothes in the middle of the floor later, you’ve settled on a nice little number which shows just the right amount of cleavage, that will definitely keep his attention.

13. You’re only running a few minutes behind as this point so you throw your foundation on. In midst of applying doing your blusher/eyeshadow/lipstick you consider that maybe you should actually let your date know that you’ll be just “five” minutes late.

14. As you apply eyeliner, you realise that perhaps that one glass of wine (which may have turned into half the bottle) may have altered your motor skills. As you wipe and restart, the internal stress grows to the point of explosive frustration, throwing that fancy make up idea out the window, back to what you know.

15. Finally finished everything. Your moment(s) of self-admiration and vanity are interrupted with your date texting back saying no problem or whatever. Grand. This gives you a few more minutes to build your confidence before packing your bag.

tumblr_mifxnwn4f41qkn03yo1_400

16. Ok, so we got your purse, make up bag, keys, hair brush, hairspray, mirror, and everything else into your bag. You’re done! It was stressful and better be worth it…

It has been said that Calvin Harris’ tweet last week was the first that Rita Ora had heard about their break-up.

Now, the singer has taken to her own Twitter account to clear up speculation on their relationship and to tell her side of the story.

Rita wrote a heartfelt message that read: “I don’t usually address speculation but I’ve had an incredible time w Calvin,& i will treasure the memories … I’ve moved on from this topic so i do hope people will respect that and do the same.”

It looks as if these two have had a clean and amicable split – hopefully they can remain friends!

If you’re living in a tiny apartment or bedsit, it doesn’t mean you can’t get creative when doing some decorating.

Here are some tips on how to make the most of your small space, after all, we all know size isn’t important!

De-clutter
Before you start decorating, it is essential that you de-clutter. Get rid of everything you don’t use or absolutely adore. This will allow you more space to showcase your most prized possessions.

Storage
The number one problem when you’re living in a small apartment is finding somewhere to store all your stuff. A bed or couch with storage underneath can be a life saver for the bedroom. In the kitchen area you can play around with ideas, such as using a peg board to hang utensils on. Walls are generally empty spaces so you should use them to your advantage. Look on Pinterest for some creative DIY options, such as using a magnet on your kitchen wall to hold cutlery!

Mirrors
Mirrors create the illusion of more space, so if you’re feeling slightly claustrophobic, a mirror could do just the trick. Personalise it with some photos or flowers to add your own feel to the place.

Accessorize
Just because your home is small, doesn’t mean it can’t be filled with character. Accessorise with photos, paintings, cushions, rugs and throws to put your stamp on the space.

With what started as a way to pass the time when Hannah was sick, has now turned into one of the most successful Irish style blogs out there.

Hanah Hawkshaw’s fashion blog, HAWKEyeView has over 800 subscribers and up to 1,000 likes on her Facebook page.

The achievement is even more amazing considering she’s only 17-years-old.

Hannah keeps her followers up to date on all of the fashion trends with regular blog posts, as well as modelling the latest styles herself in locations both here and abroad.

If being a successful fashion blogger wasn’t enough, Hannah is also an inspiring singer with her cover of Justin Bieber’s, As Long as You Love Me already reaching over 12,000 views on YouTube.

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

What item do you think every girl should have in her closet?
A good, well fitted pair of jeans – they are such a staple in my opinion!

What’s the most expensive item of clothing you’ve bought?
My beloved Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 – I invested in it when I was 13, I had been saving for quite some time and felt amazing being able to pay for it in cash – I was so excited and thrilled to be making such a purchase!

What’s your best bargain?
My best bargain has to be a vintage Valentino dress that I purchased for €6 in an Oxfam shop a couple of years ago. It was such a steal and is such a beautiful garment.

What would you say is your favourite accessory?
Has to be sunglasses – I never leave the house without them and find that they are one item that can really change the aesthetic of an outfit.

If you could only shop in one store for the rest of your life, which would it be?
I would have to say TK Maxx! I virtually live in that store!

Don’t forget to check out HAWKEyeView and follow Hannah on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter

There now seems to be plenty of rules when it comes to dating. But just because they exist, doesn’t mean that you need to follow them. Here are five dating rules that you need to break:

Don’t ask him out
This is the most ridiculous rule on the list, there is no reason for you to wait on him to make the first move. If you like him and you’re pretty sure he likes you, why not organise a date with him yourself. You’re only delaying the inevitable, and besides he could be relieved that you finally made the dreaded first move.

Play hard to get
Don’t wait a certain amount of hours to reply to his texts. As long as you’re not bombarding him with messages, it’s ok to reply to a text straight away and if he gets freaked out by that he’s not the one for you.

Expect him to pay
It’s ok to chip in when it comes to a meal, especially if you happened to order the most expensive dish on the menu.

Don’t hook-up on the first date
If an attraction is there, an attraction is there. Do what works best for both you and for him.

Act different
Be yourself! Cheesy be true, you want him to fall in love with the real you.
