One question that many young couples are faced with quite frequently is the query as to when the pitter patter of tiny feet will be heard by all. 

For Abby Lee and Matt Kay, their in-laws sent them nearly mad with their constant prying and questioning. When it seemed they just couldn’t get anyone to leave them alone and live their lives, they came up with a great idea.

They got together with their friend, and photographer, Elisha Minnette and staged a family photo shoot to make the big announcement.

Family and friends were in for quite the adorable surprise when Elisha posted the album on her Facebook page earlier this week.

Abby and Lee took the opportunity to welcome to the world their adorable bundle of joy, Humphrey. Humphrey is a groodle, a cross between a Poodle and a Golden Retriver, and he is beautiful.

They nailed it. 

They got all the necessary baby poses included:

​Humphrey is quite the puppy model:

What started as a joke between friends has been warmly received online and shared across social media all week. Speaking about the popularity of the shoot, Elisha wrote on her Facebook page:

"Making people smile & have a laugh was our intention for these images and after reading a lot of comments I feel we achieved that. So thank you!! So overwhelmed with how far this post has reached!! Thank you for all the likes and comments!"

Congratulations to the happy couple and their bundle of fluffy joy!

The entire Kardashian-Jenner clan are currently holidaying on the Caribbean island of St Barts. It would be dream holiday for most, but one member of the family is NOT happy.

Kim Kardashian-West is currently five months pregnant with her second child, and with two-year-old North in tow as well she has had to bow out of some of the more extreme activities.

The famous family took over a luxury yacht for the day yesterday to try out paddle boarding, jet packing and jet skiing, but poor Kim was forced to relax on the deck looking flawless instead.

Dressed in a white maxi dress, flowing cream cover-up and a gold choker, Kim was definitely dressed for yacht life but it seems like would have been happier to be out on the open sea. And who better to express her annoyance to than her 43m followers on Instagram?

Pouting into the camera she wrote, "Bored selfie on the boat because I can't jet pack or jet ski." She has it tough, doesn't she?

Meanwhile Kendall and Kylie spent the day trying out some of the activities on offer. We have to say that jet pack looks CLASS:

Or we could do a Kylie and Tyga and just chill on a jetski:

As for little North, the hectic day got too much for her as she conked out in her mum's arms before hometime.

The entire holiday is of course being filmed for upcoming episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians… we can't wait for the new series to hit our screens.

To people who have no interest in the latest Yeezy Boost 350 runners, queuing overnight for a pair of shoes probably sounds like absolute madness. But to Yeezy fans, it's just a normal day.

As the second edition of the highly covered runners go on sale tomorrow morning the 22nd of August at 9am, people are queuing up patiently outside BT2 on Grafton Street, Dublin.

With only 26 pairs of the shoes going on sale in store, people began queuing extremely early to make sure they had a good chance of getting their hands on a pair. 

At lunch time today, there were 14 people already in the queue. We spoke to some of them who were waiting and they told SHEmazing! that chances were slim of getting a pair in the right size, or at all. 

"There's fourteen of us in the queue now and most of us are looking for the same sizes. I want a size ten and so does he and a few of the other lads," one dedicated Yeezy fan said.

Kanye West's shoe design has gained a seriously huge amount of popularity the world over, with similar scenes occurring when the first edition runners went on sale earlier this year.

In London queues began as early as last Sunday for the shoes being released tomorrow. The "mocassin style" trainers are said to "transcend current trainer trends," and of course adding Kanye's name to the mix helps Adidas a bit too.

If however you can't give up 24 hours to queue for the footwear, don't worry, Mr. West insists everyone will get their hands on a pair eventually, they may just have to wait.

"I just wanna make sure we keep it safe. I've heard about people getting hurt over sneaker culture.. Just be patient, we'll make more Yeezys," he promised. "Eventually everyone who wants Yeezys will get them. I talked to the heads of Adidas."

Thanks Kanye!

A former Geordie Shore star has recently confessed that she had gone too far when it came to her quest for fuller lips.

After having a number of procedures on her lips to have a bigger pout than anyone else, she admitted that she the fillers removed.

Speaking with OK! Magazine she said:  "I went through a stage of having a lot of lip filler when I first started Geordie Shore but I'm having it all taken out soon because they're too big now."

 

A photo posted by Marnie Simpson (@marniesimpson) on

The MTV series star has said that she had some bad luck when it came to cosmetic surgery and has decided to go under the knife in order to fix some previous procedures.

Previously Marnie, 20-year old former Miss Newcastle finalist, has had botched procedures on her lips, breasts and nose.

Her surgeon, Dr Esho from LeBeau Ideal, has also confessed that he is glad she has decided to have the fillers removed. It seems that she had the lip-plumping procedure against his advice.

 

Had my lips perfected by @newcastleskinclinic & now it's nearly time to shoot series 11 Geordie Shore

A photo posted by Marnie Simpson (@marniesimpson) on

“I did explain the need for the less is more look but unfortunately she had more filler elsewhere against my advice."

Marnie also had an uplift done on her breasts but will have a reconstructive surgery done on them as her scars have left her “self-conscious”.

A former flame of fellow Geordie Shore star Gary Beadle, Marnie is currently engaged to Ricky Rayment.

Despite recent reports that the two had a pretty explosive row, Marnie does plan on getting married sooner rather than later:

“[We’re getting married] very soon! I’ve always pictured myself being a young mum and bride,” Marnie said. “I want to marry him, I love him. He’s going to be the father of my kids one day.”

Singer JoJo has just released three new tracks in a package she's calling her "tringle".

The singer – who seemed to drop off the face of the earth for a few years – is now prepping for her third album release. 

Yesterday evening the singer dropped three new songs on her website, called Say Love, Save My Soul and When Love Hurts. 

It's been ten years (!) since the singer kick started her career with Leave (Get Out), and it looks like she's finally ready for a comeback.

The Massachusetts-born singer was just 13 when she created her first album, but things went sour with her record company soon after.

JoJo went through a major lawsuit for nearly seven years against her former label Blackground Records, saying they caused her career "irreparable damage" by delaying the release of her third album.

Whenever she’d try to turn in a new album, she’d get no response from Blackground. But because she’d signed a seven-album deal with the label when she was only 12, JoJo was unable to break her contract.

She first filed a lawsuit in 2009 against Blackground, citing a breach of contract, alleging the label failed to secure distribution for her album and forced her into a state of limbo.

But JoJo lost the lawsuit and was forced to stay with the record company for the years following. 

Finally in 2013, JoJo had no choice but to file a major suit with the New York State Supreme Court, citing failure on the part of the label to release her third album and neglecting to pay producers she worked with. 

After winning her second lawsuit battle the singer signed with Atlantic Records last December and has been working on her new album ever since.

Humans of New York is the hugely popular website that has shared the countless inspiring, and often funny, stories of the cities’ citizens with the world.

Founded by photographer Brandon Stanton, the site has inspired many replicas and has been recently been credited with raising almost €2 million for an activist group in Pakistan.

Thanks to social media the website has changed the lives of many and it’s been one of our favourites for a long time.

However, a new parody of the site has also been making us laugh recently.

Millennials of New York is a new Facebook page created by Alec McDonald and Connor Toole, both writers at the popular site Elite Daily.

Elite Daily is a site which is dedicated to millennials everywhere and if often not afraid to take itself too seriously, despite what others may say, apparently.

Proving that the generation is not afraid to poke fun at itself, the pair have come up with a hilarious take on the HONY approach to street photography.

Just some of the millennial lifestyle trends they’ve had a laugh at:

If you reckon your rent in Dublin or Cork is bad, chill for a second because this guy renting in New York might just have it worse. 

As you can imagine, rent in the Big Apple is extremely pricey, especially if you want to be anywhere near Manhattan i.e. less than a ferry and two trains away.

But this apartment on the Upper West side just takes the p*ss altogether. It certainly has a great location as it's only around the corner from the iconic Lincoln Centre, but what you gain in location, you REALLY lose in space. The apartment was widely ridiculed when it was put up for rent earlier this year, but it seems one renter didn't mind moving in.

Grayson Altenberg, a Wisconsin native, recently took up residence in this tiny studio apartment and is paying a huge €900 a month (or $1,100).

The "apartment," which is basically just a bedroom, consists of a bed, a shower, sink and toilet and a tiny area for preparing food. This place doesn't even have a window, but the new tenant doesn't seem to mind. 

Grayson is a chef at the Lincoln Centre and says he is willing to sacrifice space and comfort for the sake of a much shorter commute.

"I don't need a living room, I don't intend on spending that much time at home. My living room is Central Park," he told the Village Voice.

As a chef, he does admit to missing his big kitchen he had at home, but it seems he's adjusting to living without some things… "like a chair." Righto.

The tiny room has what is basically just a hole in the wall for the bathroom and he has a rack hanging from the shower for hanging his clothes. 

Could you live here if it meant being in the heart of NYC? We're not so sure we could..

Breakfast: the most important meal of the day. Around these parts we are big fans of breakfast food, huge fans. So anytime we stumble across a way to make our favourite meal time even better, we get excited.

We found some of the best hacks one the internet that are designed to make sure that you get the best from your morning meal.

Eggs:

No need to spend all morning slaving over the pan. Prep as many as you need for the day ahead by making as much scrambled egg as you like (with whatever veggies you desire) and then pour into either a greased muffin pan or cases. Cover with tin foil and pop in the fridge. Then feel free to press snooze with no guilt, at all.

Yoghurt:

Many fruit-flavoured yoghurts are filled with sugars, which means you’re not actually enjoying much fruity goodness. Try to swap to plain Greek yoghurt and use raisins, frozen berries, almonds or bananas and a little honey for flavour and goodness.

Cereal:

Flip the bag, or the whole box before you open it to make sure you don’t get stuck with just the crumbs or cereal dust towards the bottom of the bag.

Eggs and avocado bowls:

The breakfast of champions is right here and you if you like eggs and/or avocado you need to try this. Amazing.

Bacon:

Maybe this won’t necessarily save you a whole lot of time, but it will certainly make breakfast more fun, an essential for any bacon fan in your life. You can find it here.

Selfies:

Love selfies? Love breakfast? Well now you can have yourself plastered all over your favourite carb every morning. What a time to be alive. Have a look for this here.  

Smoothies:

If you love smoothies save yourself some time in the mornings by chopping all your ingredients before in bulk and freezing them. Extra sleep, and delicious smoothies. Excellent.

Omlette:

You can make an omlette with hardly any clean up. Nobody likes spending hours doing dishes when we could be eating more breakfast, so check the recipe here.

Pancakes:

Use an empty squeeze bottle for your pancake batter so you can save yourself some mess and practice your pancake art skills.

Pancake rings:

A kind of-almost healthy breakfast option that everyone should try at least once, it might surprise you how much you love them. If you’re feeling

Beetroot sometimes gets left behind in the health and fitness world because, let's face it, it's just not trendy.

Anyone who remembers having to eat the slimy purple stuff as a child was no doubt put off the taste for years.

But in fact, beetroot has always been included in many lists of the most recommended vegetables for health benefits… and if used correctly it can taste AMAZING too.

The vegetable became popular in Roman times as it was then used to treat fever, wounds and skin problems, as well as being used as an aphrodisiac. 

Interested now? We thought so.

Yes, while store-bought beetroot is often drenched in overly-sour juices, fresh beetroot is sweet, earthy and tender to eat. So if you want to make this vegetable part of your five-a-day, go for the fresh kind.

It contains potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, B6 and C, folic acid, carbohydrates, protein, antioxidants and soluble fibres. So, see what we mean by a wonder food now?

 

To make it a bit easier for you we have compiled a list of all the benefits right here: 

1. Lower blood pressure
Eating beetroot or drinking beet juice can help lower your blood pressure within an hour. The benefit comes from the naturally occurring nitrates in beetroot. In turn, when released into your body it helps relax and dilate your blood vessels, improving blood flow and pressure. 

 

2. Fight inflammation
Beetroot has a unique source of betaine, a nutrient that helps protect cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress. It's also known to help fight inflammation as well as protect internal organs.

 

3. Anti-cancer properties
The powerful pyhtonutrients that give beetroot its deep crimson colour may help fight off cancer. Research has shown that beetroot has reduced multi-organ tumour formations and is also being studied for use in treating pancreatic, breast and prostate cancer. 

 

4. Rich in valuable nutrients and fibres
As seen above beetroot has LOADS of vitamins and nutrients in them which can totally boost your immune system. Minerals like potassium is essential for healthy nerve and muscle functions – while manganese is good for your bones, liver, kidney and pancreas. 

 

5. Detoxification
The betalin pigments in beetroot support your body's detoxification process, helping to purify your blood and your liver. So if you want to try a detox diet, beetroot is the way to go.

John Lewis are known for melting hearts all over the country with their annual Christmas ad, but it turns out they can make us feel all the feels at pretty much any time of year.

The company's new Premier Home Insurance ad launched this morning, and we have been watching it on repeat since.

Firstly, it features Elton John's Tiny Dancer, which already makes the whole thing a winner in our eyes. Secondly, it introduces us to possibly the most adorable little girl ever, giving it socks with some serious sitting room dancing.

Anyone who has EVER thrown on a cheesy 80s song and danced their heart out (twirls and all) when no-ones watching needs to see this ad. It will make your day, we promise.

Los Angeles-based artist Yung Jake has attracted a huge amount of media attention of late, for his incredible celebrity portraits.

Each new piece is posted to his Instagram, but what makes these lookalike creations different from any other artist's work is that Yung Jake uses emojis for colour, texture and form. That's a lot of smileys, poops and hearts.

So far he's used his magic on everyone from Kim Kardashian…

…to some of our favourite memes.

The closest we've ever come to emoji art is using the 'dancing girls' emoji to make Saturday night plans on WhatsApp, so we were delighted to find a site that does the hard work for us.

While Yung uses an emoji doodling site called emoji.ink, where budding artists can start from scratch to create their piece, Emoji Mosaic simply asks you to upload a photo and the rest is taken care of.

We had to give the site a go, starting with Taylor Swift:

Here's Kylie Jenner (her eyes didn't turn out too well):
