After enjoying your yummy Pringles have you ever looked at the can and wondered what you could do with it – besides throw it in the bin that is?

Well, here are some suggestions:

Store pasta and spaghetti

No spaghetti jar? No problem – just store it in an empty Pringles can. Make sure you clean it out first though.

Desk tidy

Tidy up your study or office desk by putting your pens, pencils and sticky notes into an empty can. You can even decorate it by sticking on scraps of paper if you are feeling creative.

Coin box

If you are forever picking up loose change off your floor, why not start popping it into the empty crisp box and watch the pennies start to pile up.

Make-up brush holder

Cut a large Pringle box in half and use it to store your make-up brushes. You will never lose your bronzer brush again!

Now get munching and empty that Pringle box – any excuse!

Isabel Marant has a problem with other designs of her wedge trainers – they’re “super-ugly”!

The French designer spoke with Women’s Wear Daily and told them she cannot wear her own design too often any more although they are still special: “They still have something special, even though there are a lot of copies, and the bad copies are super-ugly.”

The sneaker, known as The Beckett was nine months being designed and three years after they first appeared they still sell out often. That is not surprising when the likes of Miranda Kerr, Kate Bosworth and many other celebrities often seen wearing them!

It’s no secret that stress is not good for your; however, it doesn’t stop us from experiencing it.  Stick with these three tips and you will be stress free in no time, or your money back (we don’t mean that literally…)

Make exercise a daily part of your life

The best way to reduce stress is to exercise if away. Workouts encourage your body to produce natural stress-relieving hormones that help to keep you healthy and stress-free. Try pilates, yoga or just go for a run.

Don’t bring work home

The office is probably one of the most stressful places for you and workload can often become overwhelming but bringing work home is a huge mistake. Remember, it can always wait until the morning.

Eat the right food

Your diet directly affects your behaviour so good eating habits can do wonders for your stress levels. Put away the coffee and the sugar and you will have more energy to get things done thus making your life more efficient and less stressful.

Scott Howard, Lisa’s ex-manager began proceedings against the actress in 2008 and today a Santa Monica court acted in his favour and awarded him $1.6million.

Scott claimed that he had an oral agreement with Lisa that he would earn a percentage of her earnings.

Despite already paying him $11million she was ordered to give him more as the cast of Friends were reported to be earning up to $1million per episode towards the end of the series.

Scott posted a photo of himself and his children on social media today with a cake that read “Congrats Dad!”

After a while, it’s easy to get bored of old clothes and accessories. Since everyone wasn’t born with a silver spoon in their mouth, getting a new wardrobe can be quite costly.

Here are three low-cost ways for you renew your wardrobe:

Clothes swap
Organise a clothes swap with your girls and trade your items. You might even find clothes that still have a tag on it.

Restyle
Get out your sewing kit and get creative! If you have an old pair of jeans that no longer fit you or a baggy t-shirt you don’t like, then cut them up and turn them into shorts and a crop top.

Timing
Knowing what you want to buy is never a bad start, but knowing when to shop is usually more important. Buy summer gear in the winter and winter gear in the summer. Out of season clothes are usually much cheaper than new stock.

Rapper Akon is being sued for not paying his lighting contractors. He’s so hardore….

According to reports, Southern Electric Company are claiming that they never got paid for the work they did on his Atlanta house on November 14th 2013. The company say they are still owed more than $95,000.00.

SEC say the Smack That hitmaker never paid for “labour and materials” used for renovations. Ironically, the R&B star has launched a campaign, Akon Lighting Africa, to provide electricity to one million households in Africa by the end of the year – he might want to pay his own bill first.

However, poor Akon’s troubles don’t just end with the electricity company. The rapper is also being chased for failing to show up at a birthday party organised by Australian entrepreneur Patrick Grove, even though he had been paid $150,000.00.

First Katy Perry and John Mayer and now this – we don’t know how much more we can take!

Rumours are flying that One Direction’s Zayn Malik has ended his engagement to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards.

The 1D crooner has posted a cryptic tweet that reads: “I’ll give but if there’s nothing left to give what can I do ? ?,,,,,”

ZaynTweet

Posting something this personal is out of character for the usually private Zayn – does this mean the engagement has hit a brick wall?

The young lovers sparked controversy when they got engaged last August, beginning their relationship only a year beforehand, due to their age and rumours that Zayn had been unfaithful.

Hopefully they’ll work things out – look how cute they are!
