From fairy doors to Aaron's outstanding vocals and an opening number that saw Ryan Tubridy don an oddly bottom-heavy bear suit, we can all agree that this year's toy show was an absolute cracker. 

One of the best parts of the Toy Show is watching at home while simultaneously following the action on Twitter.

Here's a few of the best tweets that made us lol. 

 If there wasn't Irish dancing on the Toy Show, was there even a Toy Show?

 Real talk. 

 A question that crosses all of our minds at some point in the evening. 

 Technical difficulties abound. 

The wonderful Beibhinn and her diabetes doll. 

People still aren't accustomed to change.

We're sure we have one lying around somewhere….

The fact that one of our national treasures is a morally questionable turkey says it all.

We'll definitely be needing one after the work Christmas party.

When there's a lull in action on the Toy Show and we start day dreaming…

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are allegedly back together after over a year apart.

Multiple sources have confirmed to E! News that the famous reality stars are back together after they were spotted cosying up together on vacation in Mexico a few weeks ago.

A source told E! News that  they've been back together for a few months and have been spending  quite a bit of time together.

However, the long term couple haven't committed to moving back in together.

"Scott's mellowed out a lot and hasn't been partying," said the source.

The couple have been co-parenting their three children: Mason, seven, Penelope, four, and Reign, one.

They source alleged that they "both want to make it work for them and their kids."

In July 2015, Kourtney ended their relationship after Scott was pictured looking intimate with another woman, and because of his party lifestyle.

Since 2004 the X Factor has been a household name, with Saturday and Sunday nights usually consisting of the popular show and a take-away.

However, the BBC has confirmed that Sir David Attenborough’s BBC one show, Planet Earth II is now more popular.

In fact, the first episode had 12.26 million viewers.

Talking about the show's incredible ratings, Sir David Attenborough told the Radio Times that it "pleases him enormously".

"I'm told that we are attracting a larger than normal number of younger viewers and apparently the music of Hans Zimmer in particular is striking a chord."

The series shows high definition shots of animals in their natural habitats, and with David's famed soft-toned voice, it is no surprise that it is beating X Factor for ratings.

Our faith in humanity is restored!

As writers, we’re probably a little biased, but we happen to think that cute stationery is the bees’ knees.

Add in the fact that perfect symmetry and organisation have a weirdly soothing effect on us, and the below picture may have just transported us to nirvana.

If you’re looking for something to do for/ give to that colleague or loved one with the chaotic desk, this ‘organisation drawer’ is absolute goals.

With a special ‘home’ for absolutely everything, from your stapler to your calculator and compass, this is every organisation freak’s dream.

Just think about it; you would never have to worry about losing your mini Post-It deck EVER again!

When you break it down, this hack really isn’t all that complicated – all you need is someone with a really steady hand and some killer DIY skills to get on the job.

And while your life might be all over the place, at least you could sleep well in the knowledge that you’re killing it with your stationery game.

Whether you went to a Catholic school with the nuns or a liberal non-denominational, having “the talk” has never been easy as a young Irish person.

The focus of most sexual education is purely mechanical, and while contraception is discussed it’s definitely not always an in-depth topic.

That’s why it’s not surprising that new national research of Irish women carried out by HRA Pharma has revealed that 80 percent of Irish women have some serious misconceptions about the morning after pill.

Indeed, 36 percent of Irish women surveyed said that they had heard that the morning after pill works by triggering a “mini-abortion,” which simply isn’t true.

The morning after pill works by delaying an egg’s release, so when the sperm arrives at the fallopian tubes there will be no egg there waiting to consummate the meeting.

It works pretty much just like the regular contraceptive pill, just in an emergency context, but taking the morning after pill wont effect your regular pill either.

Women also seemed to think that the morning after pill is hard to find, with almost a quarter of women viewing the pill as being difficult to access.

The pill is available over the counter at almost all Irish pharmacies, including Boots, and there is no prescription necessary unless you need to get it free on the medical card.

There are also plenty of different types of morning after pills to suit whatever stage of post-coitus you’re at.

One of the most serious misconceptions Irish women have is that taking the morning after pill more than once will make them infertile.

“Emergency contraception has no effect on future fertility,” according to HRA Pharma.

More than one in ten (11 percent) of Irish women surveyed also said that they had heard that emergency contraception can be taken any time after having unprotected sex and will still be effective, but like all things that sound too good to be true, this is.

The sooner you use emergency contraception after sex, the more effective it will be, and most pills can only be taken up to five days after the big event.

With all of these misconceptions, along with the sky-high price of the pills in Ireland, it’s no wonder that there is still an associated stigma attached to emergency contraceptives.

We're so used to Amy Huberman and her witty ways, that when you watch the trailer for her new RTÉ series, it becomes striking at how heavy it's going to be.

Striking Out centres around Amy's character, Tara Rafferty, and her raucous life.

Tara is a Dublin based solicitor who discovers, on her hen night, that her fiancé is cheating on her.

She breaks up with him, quits her job and sets her sight on a new life, but looking at this trailer, it's not going to be easy.

Even though the series isn't out until next year, it's become one of the most highly anticipated shows for RTÉ.

It's hard to belive that just over a decade ago, the morning after pill was illegal on Irish shores.

While it was legalised in 2003, it has only been available from your local pharmacy since 2011, with a consultation.

According to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), the morning-after pill should be available to buy straight from pharmacy shelves without the need for a private patient consultation.

These consultations usually consist of a short meeting to discus general details, allergies, and contraceptive methods, according to one pharmacist.

The price of these pills comes in at about €35, the highest price in Europe, and according to the BPAS "women are paying the ultimate sexist surcharge on their sex lives,"because of the inflated price.

The emergency contraceptive is available on the medical card, but only after a GP visit to procure a prescription.

"This is neither right nor fair," says the BPAS.

"It is utterly stupid that we have made a medication which gives women a second chance of avoiding an unwanted pregnancy so hard to obtain,” said Ann Furedi, chief executive of BPAS.

BPAS is calling on the Department of Health to reclassify the morning-after pill as a general sales list drug, which would allow people to buy it directly from shop shelves like condoms. 

“There is no financial justification for the high price of this pill, nor clinical reason for a consultation before it can be sold," said the chief executive.  

According to the BPAS, eliminating the need for the consultation could drive down the price of the pills.

The price of the pill has been branded as "sexist," after one Pharmaceutical Journal report said that the price was to ensure women wouldn't take the pill often.

"The price has been set, in part, to ensure that EHC is not used as a regular method of contraception," it read.

Chanel No. 5 is one of the most popular perfumes in the world, but soon it could be no more.

A French railway company, SNCF, want to build a high-speed train line through the fields that Chanel use for their perfumes.

May roses and jasmine flowers grow in these fields, which go into every bottle of No.5.

The fashion house has released a letter, saying that if these plans go ahead, they will have to cease production of the iconic perfume.

"The construction of a viaduct and the regular passage of high-speed trains over these fields of flowers would force Chanel to cease supporting its artisanal activities in the region.

It continued to say that the flowers harvested there are "unique and exceptional… and indispensable for the creation of Chanel perfumes."

These sought-after flowers are also used to created Coco, No.5 Eau Premiere and No.5 L'Eau perfumes.

SNCF is arguing that the new train line would improve travel between Marseille and Nice.

Chanel No. 5 was first commissioned in 1921, and was the brain child of Coco Chanel herself.
