Travelling by boat can be great fun but not if you are prone to sea sickness. There is nothing quite like being sick on a moving boat, especially in stormy seas.

If this sounds like you, you will benefit from these helpful ways to prevent or handle it:

Don’t think about it
If this is the first time on a boat for you don’t think about seas sickness. You might not actual suffer from it but you could very well convince enough to feel ill.

Acupressure wristbands  
You can usually pick up motion sickness wristbands in your pharmacy. They use acupressure to help sufferers and are usually good at stopping nausea and vomiting.

Ginger
Ginger is good to alleviate nausea and is available in a powder form, tea or even sweets. So if you aren’t a fan of it you will be able to find something that you might like.

Green apples
Some believe green apples are helpful as well. Cruise ships often offer them on their room service menus.

Go outside
Spending as much time on deck as possible will help you to maintain a sense of balance. Staring at the horizon is a good idea.

Lady GaGa has been pretty vocal about her relationship with actor, Taylor Kinney, but now her boyfriend got to share some thoughts when it comes to settling down.

It seems The Other Woman star, is a believer in marriage and monogamy. The actor was questioned on his thoughts on marriage and whether you could spend the rest of your life with just one person.

“I think so. My grandparents have been together for 50 some odd years. I know a lot of happy marriages.”

Kinney went onto say if you are in a committed a relationship, marriage is usually the next logical step.

“If you’re in a committed relationship, it’s a choice what you do. Hopefully you don’t take the route of Mark and just run amok…I think the idea of taking vows lightly or just marriage in general is a new thing. It’s in the statistics; just look at divorce rates. People used to stay unhappy until death do you part, I guess. ”

Well, Gaga and Taylor have been together for four years, so who knows.

Leonardo DiCarpo is renowned for keeping his relationships private, but it seems the actor didn’t mind smooching in public with his new girlfriend, Toni Garrn.

The 39-year-old actor was spotted with the Victoria secret model on a beach in Bora Bora, last week.

It is also seems that Toni isn’t shy when it comes to public displays, as the model decided to sunbathe topless on the beach too.

If the kissing and cuddling on the beach weren’t enough confirmation that the actor and model were a couple, their loved-up attendance at the Coachella festival was.

The Oscar nominated actor spoke about his relationship with the model Toni in February and revealed that he was “happy” in his new relationship.

“I’m all right. I’m good for now.”

Well coming from Leo, that is happy talk.

Lionsgate are following the trilogy pattern of splitting Divergent‘s final movie installation into two separate movies.

The second installation of the trilogy, Insurgent, is due to be released in 2015, followed by the first part of Allegiant in 2016.

The announcement was made by the vice chairman for Lionsgate, Michael Burns, though it came as no surprise to many.

Sources say the decision derived from the content of Allegiant, “Veronica Roth brings her captivating story to a masterful conclusion in Allegiant, a rich, action-packed book with material that is ideally suited to two strong and fulfilling movies.”

This strategy is familiar to fans of both the Twilight and The Hunger Games trilogies, both of which had their final movie split into two separate instalments.

Lily Allen has revealed that she has decided to dedicate her new album Sheezus, to the late singer, Amy Winehouse.

The Hard Out Here singer admitted that her and Amy weren’t that close and knew each other, more as acquaintances.

“She was not in a great place when we knew each other, so I don’t feel I knew Amy; I knew a version of Amy.”

But Lily spoke of the attention that surrounded the late singer and wasn’t sure how she would be able to cope with it all, if she were in Amy’s position.

“What she had to deal with was 10 times anything I had to deal with. She’d sold a hell of a lot more albums than me, and there was a lot more interest in her. There were people outside her home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I know what that was like on a much smaller level, and I felt trapped. She couldn’t do anything or go anywhere without there being a frenzy; and she was all about life and enjoying herself and socialising, and when that’s taken away from you… she was a prisoner.”

Lily said that the reason Amy attracted so much attention from the press, was of result being “too damn interesting for her own good”.

All this talk of Coachella has got us thinking about summer music festivals. There is nothing quite like sitting under the sun with a beer in one hand, listening to your favourite bands.

However, it is important that you have your make-up down to a tee so you don’t have to worry about it or keep topping it up.

Concealer
Concealer is handy for hiding blemishes and spots. Pop one into your bag for quick touch ups during the day if necessary.

Tinted moisturiser
A tinted moisturiser is great for giving you light weight coverage without the feeling of heavy foundation. Use one with an added SPF to protect from the sun at the same time.

Lip gloss
A little lip gloss will make you look gorgeous even if you are feeling a little worse for wear.

Waterproof mascara
It will no doubt rain at least once during the festival so waterproof mascara is a must to avoid panda eyes.

Blusher
Nothing completes your look like a little blusher across your cheeks. A light natural colour will make you look like you didn’t apply make-up at all.

The Happy singer was struggling to control his emotions, when he appeared on Oprah’s programme Oprah Prime, yesterday.

But don’t worry Pharrell was crying tears of joy, as the singer talked with the host about his childhood and the reaction Happy has had across the world.

One of the many viral reactions of the Oscar nominated song, was shown to Pharrell including Donegal’s own dance version of the hit song.

After, Williams saw the entire international compilation of various Happy covers, he started to sob and said: “I have no idea why I’m crying.”

The singer also saw snaps of his childhood before the video compilation, so it’s understandable why he might be a little emotional.

After he wiped away his tears, Pharrell went onto to discuss with Oprah what inspires his music.

“My best songs come from two different ways. Either when I have a really good gut feeling about something, it’s written in the shower or on a plane.”

It’s good to have a healthy alternative to butter to spread on bread or crackers.

While avocado makes a great substitute, sometimes we all want something a little sweet.

This spread is made from coconut, honey and vanilla.

It’s sweet and healthy – perfect for your morning toast!

What you’ll need:

  • 250g dessicated coconut
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 vanilla pod

What you’ll need to do:

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into a glass jar. The mixture will harden after a few hours and become like a buttery consistency.

To make the spread chocolate, just add some cocoa powder or some white chocolate to keep that great colour!
