Yes, we get it. Times are changing. And fast.

We blink and there's new updates or a new format on our favourite app. And let's be honest, most of us complain about the updates. It's annoying and we have to try and figure out how to use the whole thing all over again. Ugh.

But now, Google has basically decided they want to totally get rid of all passwords, and we don't think we can keep up.

However, the tech giant has thoroughly thought things through, and according to Cosmo, decided that instead of a one-word system, it's going to use a series of small systems, which when added all together will make a hella-tight security code. 

To be honest. whether we like it or not, we'll probably have the new system forced on us, but everything changes, and the good people over at Google are doing this for the best, right?

We've all kissed someone back in the day who definitely didn't deserve to get a shift out of us, but we'll hold our hands up and admit that the atmosphere in the junior disco, the scent of his Lynx and the sound of Kylie caused us to lose reason for a few mere moments.

So, hats off to Lauren Conrad who didn't bow to pressure and steal a quick snog with a handsome French boy just in an effort to increase ratings for The Hills.

Opening up about a stand-off she had with the show's producers, Lauren told Us Weekly that they were fairly put out when she didn't lob the gob on a lad during an episode which was filmed in the French capital.

"In Paris, they wanted me to kiss that boy good night," she spilled just a week after revealing that she had been forced to take part in Speidi's infamous wedding episode.

"I got into a huge fight with my producer in the lobby! He was like, 'You didn't even give him a kiss good night.' And I was like, 'I don't like that boy — why would I kiss him good night?!'"

Despite what she once said, Lauren definitely forgives but she certainly doesn't forget.

We'll admit that more than a few of us watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians – It's a very, VERY guilty pleasure.

But, we don't think we'd be able to stick a full-length movie about them.

According to Marie Claire, the reality family are in talks about getting a $100million movie (because we don't already know everything about them).

The whole fam are in as well, with Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, Kylie and Caitlyn all eager to take part.

The walking encyclopedia of all things Kardashian – Ian Halperin, said that a major studio in the States want them. And bad.

"A top Hollywood studio executive told me today that his studio intends to make a huge offer to the Kardashian family to star in a feature-length film.

"The studio’s research showed the Kardashians could become the highest TV show-turned-movie ever," Ian said.

"The first Sex and the City movie pulled in close to $500million worldwide and a Kardashian film would do almost double. The exec stressed that part of the deal would include a nine-figure upfront offer plus a back-end of the film’s earnings."

Would you be able to take it? What more could they possibly spill about their lives to make it interesting?! We just don't know…

EVERYONE knows that when you’re in dire need of a juicy burger, you hit up Gourmet Burger Kitchen, right?

And while the good folk there have been tending to our needs for years, this amazing announcement proves that they’re not about to stop there.

In fact, they’ve only gone and upped the ante completely.

Hitching their star to the nation’s favourite biscuit, GBK have launched the Mikado Shake, and we are falling all over ourselves here at SHEmazing! HQ.

This cool, creamy, coconutty, strawberry swirled shake which is topped off with an actual Mikado is available for a limited time only, so we’re struggling to find a reason not to sprint there right this second.

Form an orderly queue, ladies.

Rihanna is on FIRE lately.

The singer has just teamed up with Dior to collaborate on a new sunglasses collection.

She's already a brand ambassador for the fashion house, but the new line of shades will see a major futuristic turn for the French giant.

Ri was also spotted out this week sporting a pair, and we have to say, we're loving the style of them. But, we bet you can't guess where she got her inspo from?

Well, give up? …Star Wars, of course!

 

When you reppin da PHUCK out yo own shit!!!

"The process was pretty seamless," she told WWD.

"I spent a day at Dior with their eyewear design team. I started by looking through all the archives to see what they've done in the past, then got acquainted with all the new materials.

"I literally sat there and drew and drew until I was happy with the design, and the team illustrated it for me right then and there," she said. 

"We picked materials and colours that same day, and after that it was a matter of weeks before I saw the first prototype."

If you love fashion and style, then you'll know that H&M always collaborate with major fashion houses.

Last year saw the high street giant team up with Balmain, and the response was unbelievable. People were queuing up on the street for hours just so they could get their hands on the coveted pieces.

Well, H&M has just announced its next collab and we couldn't be more excited.

Kenzo (*squeals*) is the next designer taking to the stage that will see high-end mixed with high-street.

"We can't wait to share with everyone the world of KENZO x H&M, with all of its creativity, fun and love of fashion," said Ann-Sofie Johansson, the creative advisor of H&M.

We can't wait, either.

As we all know, sex is a two-way thing. Pleasing your partner is equally as important as ensuring you get your kicks when it comes to the no-pants-dance, right?

Well, astonishingly, Durex revealed in a recent survey that 74% of adults report a total lack of sensitivity when it comes to using condoms, and furthermore, a lot of people then worry that sex is way less enjoyable because of it.

We can do better than that, can't we?!

Well, the condom brand that has been taking care of us for over 80 years certainly think so, and have just released a new 'invisible' condom – Durex's thinnest ever.

With a new super premium look, Durex iNViSiBLE is now available in Extra Sensitive and Extra Lubricated variants – all so we can have some really great sex.

It totally maximises the sensation, and with a high level of protection, you're totally good to… erm, go.

Durex iNViSiBLE condoms are available from all major retailers nationwide, and retail at €18.99 for a pack of 12.

Hop on it, ladies.

It’s no secret that there comes a time when we start noticing similarities between ourselves and our pooches.

Whether it’s facial expressions, personality traits or our desire to have our tummies tickled, us humans and our animals end up having A LOT in common, but these similarities actually start earlier than you might think.

Like all of us, each and every dog has their own unique personality and like all of us, they need certain stimuli in order to be the best they can be.

We caught up with Kelly Donegan and her adorable pooch, Tyson, who filled us in on Pedigree Ireland’s 'Feed Their Big Personality' campaign and revealed why we’re more like our doggies than we think.

Getting our sweat on

We all feel much better when we get our sweat on on a regular basis, and it’s absolutely no different for our dogs.

Exercise helps to elevate your dog’s mood and keeps them feeling well-balanced and ready to take on anything – just like us!

Although we wish someone spelling out G-Y-M to us would have the same effect as us spelling out W-A-L-K to them. Sigh.

Getting our eats on

A weekend getting our munch on means a guilt-ridden and sluggish Monday – something our pets are not immune to.

Ensuring that your dog gets all the nutrients their body requires by researching their breed is absolutely vital if you want to see your dog at their very best.

From a strong immune system to easier digestion, keeping your dog on the nutritional straight and narrow is as important as keeping yourself on it.

Getting our cry on

Like people, dogs endure ups and downs with their moods, but as its owner it’s up to you to learn about their traits so you can properly assess their needs.

Our friends and other halves know the difference between our need for chocolate and our need for a cry, and our dogs expect that of us too.

As Kelly reminded us: “There’s no such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner” so as it’s momma you need to be able to identify its needs when its mood starts to take a turn.

Angelina Jolie is a wonder woman. There is really nothing she can't do.

She's a mother, an Oscar-winning actress, a director, a filmmaker, a wife and a serious political activist – so it's safe to say many of us look up to her as a role model.

And if you're a big fan of her, then you could have her as a university professor.

The University of London's School of Economics has welcomed her on board as a visiting lecturer. YES.

The uni has a centre designed for women, peace and security, where Angelina is set to help out students who are in the middle of a Master's degree.

Ms Jolie said in a statement: “I am very encouraged by the creation of this master’s programme…

"I hope other academic institutions will follow this example, as it is vital that we broaden the discussion on how to advance women’s rights and end impunity for crimes that  disproportionately affect women, such as sexual violence in conflict.

"I am looking forward to teaching and to learn from the students as well as to sharing my own experiences of working alongside governments and the United Nations.”

We might travel over to London just so we can wander into one of her lectures…

For the past two weeks, the funniest thing on the Internet has been Chewbacca mam.

So funny, James Corden even invited her onto his show and carpooled with Star Wars director JJ Abrams. Brilliant.

But now, an Irish couple have taken the reins and bought themselves a mask of their own.

David and Lydia explained that they had to order it from America but it's so worth it because of all the "hours of fun" they're getting with it.

David also explained that even though it's for a child, they can still make it work, and in their YouTube video, they essentially just end up roaring and laughing at each other.

Sure, what else could you want on a rainy day in Ireland?
