The less junk you eat, the less you crave it but if you’re not used to eating healthy foods to begin with, how can you possibly resist?

Here are a few healthy snacks you can have while you’re on the go:

Hard-boiled eggs
This is a quick and inexpensive way to get a healthy dose of protein in you.

A nutty banana treat
The classic banana and peanut butter combo never fails. Put some peanut butter on a rice cake and then top it up with a few slices of banana.

Hummus dippers
Slice up some celery, carrots or your favorite veg so you can enjoy this tasty heart-friendly dip wherever you go.

Fruit-and-cheese sticks
There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a good childhood recipe at times. Stack a few grapes and cheese squares onto a toothpick.

Protein bars
This is always a good healthy snack. The only downfall is you might come across a not-so-healthy protein bar. Your best bet is to cook up a recipe at home.

When sizing up potential partners, age can definitely be an issue, especially if your new would-be boyfriend is a younger man. Here are some ways to see if an age gap could be a problem.

Readiness
If you and your partner were both born in different decades, it’s quite likely you won’t be in the same stages of your lives. While you’re hearing wedding bells, he still has last night’s clubbing music ringing in his ears.

Maturity
If you aren’t at the same mental level, discussions will often turn into arguments that just seem to go in circles. A bit of maturity helps a person see the other side of an argument and compromise. Sometimes.

Is this your little brother?
If he has a baby face, while also being younger than you, things could also get quite awkward in social situations. Don’t be surprised if someone thinks he’s your little brother…or down the line, your son.

Some relationships work perfectly fine when there’s a significant age gap; sometimes, even better than ‘normal couples’. So, does it really matter what age he is?

We say it depends on the guy.

If you don’t drink enough water during your workout, you are just setting yourself up for disaster. As you exercise, you sweat out fluids and electrolytes and not replacing these can cause you to feel tired. Your workout also won’t be as effective if you are not hydrated.

Follow those five steps to avoid the dehydration slump:

Drink plenty of H2O
It’s that simple. Take a sip every 15 minutes to stay properly hydrated.

Stock up on sports drinks
If you are participating in a particularly enduring workout, you will need to sip on a sports drink, or coconut water if you’re really healthy. Sweating causes you to lose certain minerals in your body called electrolytes and these drinks will replace them for you.

Drink BEFORE you feel thirsty
Feeling thirsty is an indication that your body is already starting to become dehydrated, so sip on fluids throughout the day.

Have a banana
Fruit is a great source of electrolytes and fluid,s which make them great for refuelling during a workout. However, the amount of water a fruit contains is not enough, so keep drinking from your water bottle.

Unfortunately, make-up does not last forever, no matter how much you may have spent on it. If you are the type of lady who tends to cling on to their beloved products, you might want to take a few notes.

To avoid applying bacteria to your face, here is the low down on how long make up actually lasts for.

Mascara
This particular beauty product doesn’t last longer than three months. It is a breeding ground for bacteria and should be binned to save yourself catching a nasty, not to mention unattractive, infection.

Foundation
Foundation can last twice as long as mascara, although some can last for a year. Water-based ones should be thrown away after the six month mark as they attract bacteria. If you use it longer than recommended, you’ll just end up with spots and breakouts.

Eyeshadow
Eyeshadow tends to be the product that piles up in the bottom of the make-up bag. However, you might want to throw out any that have been there for more than three months. Creamy textured shadows tend to grow bacteria more than powder.

It’s definitely time to clear out your make-up bag.

Looking for a really romantic location for your Valentine this year? Well, instead of hitting the usual romantic cities, why not book a trip to a heart-shaped island to really show your sweetheart just how much you love them.

Here are our four favourites:

Lake Walchensee, Germany
Located in the Bavarian Alps, this beautiful heart shaped island is located in Germany’s Lake Walchensee.

Galesnjak, Croatia
This spectacular island situated in the Adriatic Sea is home to wild plants and trees and is the perfect location for a lover’s retreat. The island has deservedly been titled Lovers’ Island

Makepeace Island, Queensland Australia
Unfortunately, this is a private island located on the Noosa River. However, it is pretty near beaches and other lakes so you will be able to enjoy from afar.

Lea Michele has been a picture of strength and composure during the last six months since the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith.

Nobody would think any differently of the Glee star had she broken down or disappeared from public for a while considering the extent of her loss, but she’s continue to put on a brave face.

Since losing the love of her life, Lea has thrown herself into her work and her new album Louder, which is due for release in February.

Speaking about the album, Lea told Teen Vogue what Cory had said about her new career move: “You’re going to be a pop star! What are we going to do? Are we going to, like, go on the road?”

Lea also spoke about feeling Cory with her throughout her new life without him saying: “There’s something about knowing he’s watching everything I’m doing and feeling like I have to do everything now not just for me but for him”.

Lea Michele is definitely one strong and very inspirational woman.

The Strypes, who hail from Co. Cavan, made their US television début on Conan O’Brien on Monday night, performing their hit single Blue Collar Jane.

The young lads later uploaded a picture to Twitter that read, “Conan was mind blowing. Top notch!” alongside a picture of the band with the popular American TV host.

The Irish band are also said to be performing at the most popular pre-Oscars party in LA, the Oscar Wilde party, on February 27th.

Wow, we wish we had been this accomplished as teenagers. Our days mostly consisted of kissing a Ronan Keating poster, watching Clarissa Explains It All and eating Pushpops. Sigh.

Neon
Like the color, neon chicks are usually very bright and full of energy. They like to be noticed and can light up a room – not just with their nails.

Blue
If you find yourself addicted to blue nail varnish, it could mean you’re a spiritual gal. Blue girls are usually no-fuss  by nature

Red
Red, as we know, is associated with passion. If red is your calling, it means you’re passionate about life and full of purpose. Not only are you a thinker, but you’re also a doer.

Green
The color of explorers! Not only do green gals like a good adventure, they have an earthy nature and are always on the lookout for new experiences.

Purple
You’re comfortable in your own skin and are generally very easy going.

Nude
You’re never afraid to show your true self – takes a real woman to be authentic, you know.

Cougar Town star Courteney Cox has only been dating Snow Patrol‘s Johnny McDaid for about two months, but the couple are apparently already talking about getting hitched.

According to reports, Courteney, who recently opened up about her divorce from David Arquette, “is already talking marriage” and “gushes about Johnny all the time” – we’d gush if we were going out with him too.

The pair are said to be very serious about each other and have been spotted several times looking very loved up.

The handsome couple were set up by no other than Ed Sheeran, who is currently living with McDaid in LA while they work on Ed’s album. T

The Lego House singer said: “They started dating and are crazy about each other and I ended up spending a lot of time living in her beach house and therefore bumping into all these random people. We spent Thanksgiving eve at Jennifer Aniston’s and Thanksgiving day at Courteney’s.”

Wonder if the wedding will take place in McDaid’s hometown of Derry – we’ll keep an eye on the postbox, just in case.
