This may be stating the obvious, but we are pretty major ice cream fans here at Shemazing! HQ.  And while we’ve already swooned over hangover-curing and black-coloured ice creams this summer, we have now discovered our ice cream temple of dreams.

Late last month New York’s Meatpacking district became home to what is possibly the greatest pop-up exhibition of all time as the interactive Museum of Ice Cream opened its doors.

According to Time Out, this temporary hall of frozen fame boasts a pool of sprinkles, an immersive chocolate room and an ice cream sandwich swingset.

You can find your perfect flavour during an ice cream tasting session or, if you’re feeling a bit techy, you can meet your match in an ice cream themed Tinder Land.

Unfortunately this food lover’s dream is only open ‘til September, but fingers crossed the exhibition will become a permanent fixture so that next time you take a trip stateside you too can swim in a pool of sprinkles.

Last week it was reported that Kris Jenner had been involved in a car accident near her home after a car cut in front of her at a Calabasas intersection.

And while Kris’ new Rolls-Royce was badly damaged in the collision, it has now emerged that the person driving the other car has been left homeless as a result of the crash.

According to TMZ, out-of-work actor and model Jack Way had been living in his car for a number of months in the run up to the accident while he searched for a new job and because Jack’s Prius was written off in the collision, he now has nowhere to live.

While the accident is widely believed to have been Jack’s fault and he does not have collision insurance, he is said to have made contact with a lawyer in relation to the incident.

There was once a time when you wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without straightening every inch of your hair.  But thanks to the increasing popularity of beach inspired and bedhead hair, the constant feeling of needing your GHD is now a thing of the past.

As the fashion shifts from soft waves to sea salt laden curls, it seems simply adding texture to your hair is no longer enough as a New York-based hairstylist has told Marie Claire “sexture” is now what your mop wants.

Kat Zemtsova says this look is “all about imperfection” and has described it as “the antithesis of stiff waves or sausage curls” – so it’s basically about letting your hair be messy af but in a super sexy kinda way.

The hair artist recommends using a wave spray on wet hair before giving it a good tousle as it dries naturally or adding a dry texturizing spray to the mids and ends of your mane if it hasn’t seen the shower in a few days.

When it comes to first dates, the itinerary can be pretty…boring.

It’s usually some combination of dinner, a film and drinks which sounds nice in theory but can be a very different story when you’re eating ribs in front of your date.

Good venues are often wasted on couples who are too uncomfortable to appreciate them

So why not cancel your date and head for a romantic dinner with your best friend instead and say goodbye to all the awkwardness that goes along with it.

Goodbye to stressing about what to wear.

Goodbye to trying to arrive at the perfect time.

Goodbye to having a call from your friends pre-planned as your escape route.

Goodbye to ordering the right thing.

Goodbye to awkward small talk.

Goodbye to acting like you don’t mind they stole a chip.

Goodbye to ordering something cheaper so that he doesn’t think we’re taking advantage.

Goodbye to uncomfortably dancing after a few drinks.

Goodbye to the terrible goodbyes at the end of the night.

We decided to do just that recently with amazing success.

Not only did we enjoy not having to get glammed up after work, we enjoyed not being judged for arriving ten minutes late and getting to order as much of whatever we wanted on the menu.

With the beautiful Marcels restaurant as the backdrop to our date, we enjoyed some amazing food and wine all in beautiful surroundings.

Finishing our lunch by romantically sharing a beautiful pavlova, it went down as one of our best dates yet.

Dirty Dancing is one of those movies you watch when you need cheering up, or if you're having a movie night with your friends. Actually, it's one of those movies that just suits any situation and that's why we love it so much.

However, now ABC has made a remake of the movie, which will only be aired on TV, and well, we don't really know how we feel about that.

The original was just so perfect, from Patrick's moves, to Jennifer's watermelons, there's nothing we would change.

The new movie stars Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail Breslin, who plays Baby and Colt Prattes, who plays Johnny.

Nicole Scherzinger is playing Johnny's pregnant dance partner, Penny.

Let's just say they have big shoes to fill!

You’d imagine it must take bags of confidence and a solid sense of self to be able to walk the most coveted runways in the world, but as more and more celebrities open up about their personal struggles with mental health, it's becoming increasingly obvious that even global superstars sometimes struggle to maintain their self-esteem.  And – as a new interview with Esquire magazine has revealed – Cara Delevingne is one such star.

In October last year the popular model-turned-actress revealed at the Women in the World summit that she has battled bouts of depression since she was a teenager, and now she has expanded on her mental health struggles – which include depression, suicidal thinking and self-harm – for Esquire.

Having witnessed her mother's manic depression and various drug addictions as a child, by the time Cara was a teenager the impact of her family’s issues began to be revealed as she became increasingly depressed and suicidal.

 

 

Cara told the mag: “I think I properly started dealing with depression when I was about 16…when all the stuff with my family started to make sense and came to the surface.”

“As a kid I felt like I had to be good and I had to be strong because my mum wasn’t.  So, when it got to being a teenager and all the hormones and the pressure and wanting to do well at school — for my parents, not for me — I had a mental breakdown.”

“I was suicidal…I couldn’t deal with it any more.  I realised how lucky and privileged I was, but all I wanted to do was die,” she remembers.

At 16 Cara was taken out of school for six months and prescribed medication which she said left her feeling “numb”.

Because of this experience the star now says she hates medication – although she does acknowledge that the meds she was given during her teenage years may have saved her life.

She recounts coming off the tablets at 18 and what it was like to be able to fully feel her emotions again: “I lost my virginity, I got into fights, I cried, I laughed.  It was the best thing in the world to feel things again.  And I get depressed still but I would rather learn to figure it out myself rather be dependant on meds, ever.”

While still working to maintain her mental health, the 23-year-old now seems to be happier than ever before as last week she revealed to British Vogue that she is “completely in love” with her singer-songwriter girlfriend St Vincent. 

We hope Cara continues to share her story and that she can remain positive into the future.

Some big changes are coming to Croke Park soon.

In a joint development between Croke Park Stadium and Dublin City Council, Croke Villas flats are about to be no more.

The project, will see the flats (which are mostly boarded up) being demolished, then done up again, as well as a processional boulevard for the sports stadium.

The boulevard will be the only match-day entrance for sports fans, which will take away much of the chaos that surrounds Croke Park when there's a game on.

The project which will cost €12m, will not only involve the demolition and redevelopment of the apartment complex, but also Sackville Avenue widening, the construction of new homes across from the apartment complex, and also refurbishing seven new houses on the Ballybough Road.

According to 98fm, a resident from the Croke Villa flats said she's hoping to move into one of the new houses.

"For starters, it would be like winning the Lotto. We're all waiting to go and we've been told for the last 8 years that we're going. 

"Anything has to be better than what's here."

The construction is said to begin in the next few months.

It's safe to say PokémonGo has taken over the world in just a few short weeks.

Kids and celebs alike are playing the game, but with 150 different Pokémon to catch, sometimes the chances are slim.

Unless you have the Irish start-up app, Mawla.

The Dublin-made app is after putting together a series of maps in order to help people find their Pokémon.

Explaining how it works, the app's developer Dan Malone said: "We speak directly with the PokémonGo servers.

"We pretend to be an app and to be in a certain location and they say 'oh you're an app, in Stephen's Green! There's x,y,z Pokémon around you!'

"The way I get the coverage of the areas that I have is by creating a grid of overlapping rings an slowly walking out from the centre to a radius I've defined."

Mawla has been rolling out since PokémonGo was released, and so far, Dan said the fans are unbelievable.

"The reception has been incredible, I've had 180,000 visits to my website in one week. It's been great overall."

Chrissy Teigen just slays in the fashion stakes.

Her casual style is on point, her glam style is fabulous, and she even nailed pregnancy style which is no easy feat.

But now, it's her hair that's taking centre stage.

If you're a fan of Orange Is The New Black, then you'll be used to seeing Laverne Cox on the silver screen with little or no make-up on.

Either way, she's beautiful and fierce, but her reason behind going make-up free for this selfie is speaking to ALL of us.

The bare-faced beauty shared a photo on Instagram and captioned the snap: "The other day after I took out my braids before we put them back in.

"I love fake hair. It's one of the great joys of my life. As an actress and a woman I love being able to transform, to switch up my look when I want to with wigs, weaves and bundles a plenty.

"I love this too. It's about choices and options."

YES.

Wearing make-up and changing our hair isn't all about looking good – it's about feeling good. It's about having the option to be a girly-girl one day and a rocker the next; not about who looks best or who is wearing the latest style.

If it makes you feel fab, go for it girl. It's your choice.

From feathers and birds to roman numerals and inspirational quotes, it’s no secret that Demi Lovato is a major tattoo lover.  And it looks like the 23-year-old pop sensation isn't done adding to her body art collection just yet.

Yesterday the Cool for the Summer singer used a playful flashing gif to reveal her new baby finger tattoo on Instagram and it seems Demi's latest bit of ink is the most random tat she’s gotten to date.

In a post captioned “cause life’s too short not to tattoo your pinky” the former Disney star debuted the most simple smiley face tattoo we’ve ever seen and her fans are absolutely loving it.

Comments from the Lovatics include “just so gorgeous”, “I need the same tattoo it sooooo cute” and “u always draw a smile on my face even in the darkest moments demi” (sic).

While the young singer-songwriter has yet to reveal the significance of her new piece of art, in the past she has explained that tattoos like the “Stay Strong” message on her wrists represent difficult periods of her life.

She's one-fifth of one of the hottest bands of the moment, but Normani Kordei has now quit social media following an outburst of disgusting, racist abuse. 

The Fifth Harmony singer shared a lengthy message with her fans and revealed she's been bombarded with unwarranted message in recent days.

"Over the course of this last week and especially over the last 48 hours I've not just been cyber bullied, I've been racially cyberbullied with tweets and pictures so horrific and racially charged that I can't subject myself any longer to the hate," the 20-year-old explained to her 1.72million followers.

"Hiding behind a computer and putting people down, especially for the color of their skin doesn't make you cool, it makes you a coward!" she continued.

Among the horrifying attacks she received in recent days is a despicable photo that appears to show her face photoshopped onto a lynched African American, as well as a tweet referring to her as "narmonkey."

However, Normani concluded: "I'm not the first black female celebrity to deal with this and I'm sure I won't be the last," she penned. "I want to take this moment to say Love goes much further than hate in this world."
