10 essential items you need to bring camping

Lifestyle

May 20, 2014

Camping is so much fun, seriously! If you have never done it, it should definitely be on your to do list. Yes, at times it can be cold and more than likely it will rain but there is something about sleeping out under the stars.

Checklist time:

Sleeping bag
Do not, we repeat do not, attempt to go camping without one. No matter how much you may hate sleeping in them a giant duvet won’t keep you warm.

Tent
Well, if you forget this, you should probably either head home now or brace yourself for the elements!

Lots of spare batteries
The last thing you want is for the batteries in your torch to die – it can get pretty dark out there.

Lighter
Unless you plan on making fire Bear Grylls style we suggest you bring a lighter.

First aid kit
No doubt there will be a few mishaps, so make sure you pop a first aid kit into your bag.

Insect repellent
You will need this – don’t attempt to think you won’t.

Camping stove and kettle
Because your craving for tea won’t disappear because you are roughing it.

Baby wipes
There won’t be a shower for miles so this may be your only way to clean yourself.

Deodorant
See above. You don’t want people to think of you as the smelly one, do you?

Dry shampoo
Even though you are in the wild it doesn’t mean you have to let your appearance go.

Did this Game of Thrones star reveal a massive spoiler?

Game of Thrones star, Lena Headey may have given away an accidental spoiler with a past snap on her Instagram account.

Lena shared a picture a month ago of rocks forming a shape of a heart with the caption: “my stone heart”.

While some just thought it was just a pretty art snap, many Game of Thrones fans have speculated that it could have something to do with the upcoming plot for the final episodes.

For those who haven’t read the books, it’s best you stop reading now, as there are major spoilers ahead.

Many believe that Lena’s “my stone heart” could be a nod to the significant plot line surrounding a new character, Lady Stoneheart.

Either ways, we can’t wait to see what will happen in the final episodes.

Are Will and Jada under investigation over Willow’s snap?

Reports are coming in that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are currently under investigation by child protective services over a controversial picture of their daughter, Willow.

Will and Jada have been surrounded by controversy the last month, when a picture was posted online of the 13-year-old Willow, lying on a bed with her friend, Mosias Arias who is 20.

Child services have been apparently investigating the couple for the last week and have said that both Will and Jada have been “extremely cooperative”.

“Social workers will also be talking separately with Willow, and they also want to talk to the young man in the picture with her as well. This won’t just be one or two visits with the family, and it will likely be an open investigation for at least a month, out of an abundance of caution.”

Before the investigation took place, Willow’s mother, Jada recently spoke about the picture and said people were exaggerating what took place.

“Here’s the deal. There was nothing sexual about that picture of that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it … and your acting like covert paedophiles and that’s not cool.”

The picture has since been taken from social media sites.

Bella Thorne gushes about her ‘beautiful’ Blended co-star

Bella Thorne says Drew Barrymore was “always in a beautiful mood” while they filmed new comedy Blended together.

The 16-year-old actress stars opposite the Hollywood star and Adam Sandler in the movie.

Drew and Adam play Lauren and Jim, a man and woman who end up in the same family resort after a bad blind date.

Bella, who plays Adam’s onscreen daughter Hilary, began her acting career on the small screen from a young age, just like Drew – who had her first big role in E.T. aged just seven-years-old.

“[Drew] didn’t have to give me any direct advice. She is just somebody to observe and learn from – she walks onto the set and gives everybody a hug, even if it’s 5:30 in the morning,” Bella said.

“She is always in a beautiful mood. She’s also been on the press tour, even though she just gave birth to her son Frankie. She’s was happy to do it, and she emphasises that both of her kids are healthy, what does she have to complain about? She thinks that way, and that makes her a beautiful person.”

Aw, very sweet!

Did Jamie Dornan bad mouth Rita Ora at The BAFTAS?

Rita Ora recently spoke of what it was like to work with the cast of her new raunchy film, Fifty Shades of Grey especially with her famous co-star, Jamie Dornan.

Speaking on her first filming experience with Dornan, she said she considered Jamie a friend and that she also thought he was “gorgeous”.

But if Jamie’s recent remarks at Sunday’s BAFTA are anything to go by, he doesn’t seem that overly impressed by his co-star’s comments.

Apparently Jamie was questioned on whether he found Rita’s remarks about him to be flattering, to which he gave a blunt response of “No, I don’t”.

Jamie apparently added to this, by saying Rita’s appearance on set was brief, so he didn’t understand how the two of them could be considered friends.

“She was only on set for two days. I wouldn’t say we’re friends.”

Ouch, we wonder what Rita would have to say about this?

Er, Jude Law, WHAT are you wearing?!

It looks like Jude Law is trying to keep up with the young men in TOWIE and Geordie Shore by donning a very revealing t-shirt.

The actor was spotted out and about with a very low-cut top that is often seen on our reality TV shows.

Jude is normally seen looking polished and clean-cut so we have to say, we’re not so sure about this look.

That said, he is still Jude Law so manages to pull it off. Sort of.

Do you find Jude’s new style sexy? Or just a bit wrong?

Pageant queen told crown was not intended for her

Imagine being crowned the winner of a beauty pageant only to be told a couple of days later that the organisers got it wrong and you didn’t actually win! This happened to Synthia Nath…

New Zealand beauty pageant queen Synthia Nath was crowned Miss Globe New Zealand 2014 on Saturday, 10th May.

However, two days later, the 19-year-old was told that she was mistaken for another girl and wrongly announced the winner – not cool.

Apparently, Synthia was mixed up with Loriza Latif and was told “it was another Indian girl that should have won”. Organisers said it was an “honest mistake” because the two girls “look alike”.

Not surprisingly, Synthia is now seeking compensation for her entry fee and wants organisers to apologise.

According to reports, Synthia was told to give the crown and sash to the real winner, although she was late informed in an email: “You can keep it and pretend that you still are Miss Globe.”

That would just be weird!

Outdoor games all Irish people played as kids

Uncategorized

As kids, we all had TV’s and even PlayStation and Gameboys if we were lucky, but we still played outside A LOT. Here are some outdoor games that will seem familiar to you.

1. Rounders
Rounders always created a rift between those who were batting, and those who were out in the field. And this rift often lasted all week long.

2. Duck Duck Goose
This was mostly played at school and someone always ended up falling on someone else while running at top speed around that circle. Or else someone changed direction. Cheaters.

3. What time is it Mr.Wolf
This one always created so much panic! The second Mr. Wolf said “DINNER TIME” you ran like your life depended on it.

4. Stuck in the mud
You never released someone you don’t like. Ever. That’ll learn ’em!

5. Musical Chairs
This one was an indoor game but who else remembers that time of the party where the mom says ‘okay everyone, it’s time for musical chairs’ followed by a big sarcastic ‘yaaaaay!’

6. Pass the parcel
Yet another party game.. we awkwardly sat there passing around a wrapped present. Holding it for that second longer praying the music would stop on you!

7. 45/Tip the Can
The king of all childhood games! God help the person who was on if they left the pole/wall to see could they find people people it was all systems GO GO GO to run to base and SCREAM “45 I FREE ALL” #legend

8. Mother May I
What a memory game. This taught you manners like nothing else.

9. Knock A Dolly
Not so much a game as a neighbourhood nuisance. Still though, what a rush.

10. Red Rover
The trick to this was to get all the big, strong, vicious, crowd on your side.

11. Chinese Whispers
Ah, the childhood version of how cruel rumours start.

12. Dodgeball
This one is still the best fun ever.

13. Skipping
All the popular girls used to be so good at skipping. If you were good and could jump two ropes at a time, you owned that playground.

14. Kerbs
I think everyone in Ireland played this game… so you took one side of the path and the other took the other side.. and you threw the ball to bounce off the kerb!
