As elaborate proposals go, this one is definitely up there with the best of them.

Telling the story of his girlfriend, Cara and her obsession with all things Beauty and the Beast, Imgur user jel2930 documented his plans for a truly unique proposal.

Deciding to “recreate the famous scene” where Belle and Beast dance – you know the one – this thoughtful boyfriend started his quest to the perfect proposal with the perfect dress.

“The project began in a basement with a cheap sewing machine and a dream. And coffee. Lots of coffee,” read a caption in the series of photographs.

With the perfect dress complete, he then had to find the perfect venue to match.

Taking inspiration from Cara’s favourite character, he settled on Iowa State Parks Library Periodical Room.

Slipping into her custom dress, Cara seemed only too delighted when her boyfriend dropped to one knee and pulled out a sparkler.

And the newly engaged couple couldn’t leave without sneaking in a romantic dance.

Tale as old as time, and all that.

None of us will deny the fact that, sometimes, the things we love most are actually bad for us (chocolate, chipper, drinking, etc.).

Another fact we cannot deny is that dogs LOVE playing fetch, whether it’s a stick, ball or a frisbee… they just love it.

You may be wondering where we’re going with this, but keep reading…

APPARENTLY, playing fetch is actually really bad for dogs (who knew?), and we’re really sad about it.

According to a report published in the BMC Veterinary Research journal, “when dogs carry things in their mouths, it puts additional strain on their front legs, which over time can be harmful. It apparently makes them tilt forward”.

How sad for them!

The study found that “when a dog is carrying a toy weighing around half a kilogram, they distribute 66 percent of their body weight on the front legs”.

However, when the weight was increased to 4kg, 75 percent of the weight shifted to their front legs… not good, folks.

The study does not say you should stop playing fetch with your furry friends; just try and ensure that the toys you’re using are as light as possible.

Noted, and stored.

Today, up to 5,000 men, women and children set out from the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin City to march in solidarity with the Women's March on Washington.

Banners flew and drums were beaten as people congregated to demonstrate that sexism, racism, and homophobia will not be tolerated.

A steady chant of "anti-women, anti-gay, Donald Trump go away" was the backing track to the march, as people the world over sought to make a statement to the 45th President of the United States on his first day in office.  

Organisations such as the Union of Students in Ireland, the Abortion Rights Campaign, the Coalition to Repeal the 8th Amendment, the People Before Profit Alliance and the National Women’s Council of Ireland were all present.

The march kicked off at around 12 noon, and the crowd made its way down O'Connell Street.

The march was intended to end in a rally outside the GPO, but due to the huge number of participants, the culmination of the march had to be moved back to the Garden of Remembrance. 

A number of marchers gave rousing speeches from the DIY palette podium, from Colm O'Gorman of Amnesty International Ireland to Molly Cyr from the Abortion Rights Campaign. 

A similar demonstration also took place in Galway City's Eyre Square.

Geri Horner gave birth to her second child earlier today, and unlike some celebs (here’s looking at you, Stephanie Davis), she wasted no time in sharing the tot’s name with us.

The 44-year-old took to Instagram to share the very first photo of her newborn son – and reveal his very unique moniker.

“Montague George Hector Horner arrived this morning, a beautiful little brother for Bluebell and Olivia,” she wrote.

Geri was, of course, referring to her 11-year-old daughter as well as husband Christian’s little girl.

While Montague is certainly a very Shakespearean name, there’s no doubt as to where Geri got the inspiration for her son’s second name.

Geri and the late George Michael, who passed away on Christmas Day, were the best of friends. Indeed, the Freedom singer was godfather to Bluebell.

Well, what do you think of the name?

Geri announced her wonderful baby news this morning, tweeting that she and husband Christian were ‘delighted’ to welcome their first child together.

The day is extra special for fans of the Spice Girls, too, as Geri’s friend and former band mate Emma Bunton turns 41 today.

We can all agree that when it comes to beauty products, Charlotte Tilbury is an absolute QUEEN. 

This fact is only proven more accurate by her latest product launch…

The Instant Magic Dry Facial Sheet Mask will hit Charlotte Tilbury stores around the world in March, and we really cannot wait. 

What separates this product from any other sheet mask, though?

Well, it's dry, which means you won't be left with a gooey layer on your face after you use it; you will be left dry, and GLOWING. 

Also, the fact that the mask is dry means that you can reuse it three times, which makes it better value.

The cloth is infused with ingredients like Vitamin B3, plant cell matrix, crocus bulb extract, and Charlotte's signature "magic oils".

The mask will cost around €21, which is really just €7 a pop when you think about it.

Sounds good to us!

Ed Sheeran pretty much took himself completely out of the limelight last year.

There was no social media, no new music, and no gossip about him – just the way he wanted it.

But now, the man has come back with a bang this year, releasing not one but two songs on the same day – as well as having an upcoming tour and album on the way.

And part of being back in the limelight is having to do various promotions, such as radio and television shows.

The singer was on The Graham Norton Show last night and took part in everyone's favourite segment; the red chair.

Now, Ed didn't know it, but the man going on to the red chair was his childhood friend whom he spent a lot of time with growing up.

As the man sat down, Ed still didn't realise who it was – until he started telling the story about when Ed's mam made them sausages (it was actually kinda boring).

Look out for when Ed cops on to who it is (around 35:50), because his reaction is absolutely priceless.

To be honest, most of us still think we're living in a different dimension now that Donald Trump is President of the United States.

While he doesn't have a particularly political background, he ran his campaign on the premise that he's a self-made millionaire with financial stability.

However, his daughter Tiffany – partly famous for her eye-catching snaps on the Rich Kids of Instagram – has come under fire for wanting her hairstylist to do her hair for nothing. Completely free. Zilch.

Well, actually, not zilch… instead, Tiffany and her mother offered to give the hairstylist "exposure" on social media.

The stylist, Tricia Kelly, spoke to The Washington Post about the entire ordeal, admitting she was 'stunned': "I told them… I work for a fee, not for free."

According to Tricia, Tiffany and Donald's second wife, Marla Maples, initially hired her for the inauguration, and after a few rounds of trial-runs and back-and-forth negotiations, the two sides settled on a $200 fee.

When the women both refused to pay, Tricia received a message from one of Marla's representatives, telling her: "You are messing with the President of the United States," and "Tiffany is used to a certain lifestyle, and you don't understand that."

Needless to say, Tricia turned down the offer.

Whether you love your name or hate your name, it could be the key to your success. Well, apparently.

Recent research has revealed how a name can influence the way people respond to you and see you as a person.

Professor Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, told the Inquirer: "If your name sounds intelligent, successful and attractive, you are more likely to act those things."

And similarly, another study was conducted by psychologist Albert Mehrabian of the University of California, which showed that people were treated differently depending on how attractive or unattractive their name was.

In his book Beneficial and Harmful Baby Names, he wrote: "Names make impressions, just like the way you clothe your child or the way you groom them makes an impression. People with 'undesirable' names do get treated differently."

He also came up with a list of the most attractive names:

Girls
1. Elizabeth
2. Jacqueline
3. Holly
4. Ann
5. Mary

Boys
1. James
2. Steven
3. Christopher
4. Kenneth
5. Thomas

nice thumbs up michelle obama sarcastic cool story bro

Bottom of the list:

Girls
1. Elvira
2. Eula
3. Shar
4. Zoila
5. Latrina

Boys
1. Butch
2. Rufus
3. Ozzie
4. Jock
5. Rip

In the study, the researchers concluded that there seems to be an apparent link between your name and what you're interested in – just look at the fastest man on Earth, Usain Bolt.

OK, we appreciate that Halloween is months away, and we may not really need to dress up as a unicorn until then.

HOWEVER, we really felt that this amazing hair tutorial was too good to ignore. 

The wonderful people behind the YouTube channel Turnt Beauty recently posted a fabulous hair tutorial, which shows viewers how to achieve unicorn hair. 

We're not talking about that classic pastel dye-job that we love, we're talking a full-on UNICORN HORN and everything! 

The model gets her hair dyed and up-styled in the most amazing way ever, and the results are magical. 

Our ONLY suggestion would be to maybe splash some glitter onto the hair, you know yourself. 

Other than that though, this hair is FLAWLESS.

Hungover? Having a bad day? In the mood for something to put a smile on your face? Look no further.

Because, well… what's better than a man and his dog dressing up in the same outfits?

Topher Brophy is an artist living in New York, and he adopted a puppy, Roseberg, two years ago.

However, when Topher brought Roseberg out on walks, people would stop him in the street and tell him that he and his dog look really similar.

And then, one day, the pair stepped out in matching denim shirts – and everyone went wild.

Topher told Cosmo: "People crowded around us and made a big fuss. Kids went crazy."

And from then on, the artist began to dress his dog the same, and took photos to share on social media.
