Mother's Day is just around the corner, and the panic has ensued about what to get our dear darling mammies.

While fancy presents are amazing, sometimes investing in experiences can be just as fab.

Here's a few of our top suggestions: 

10. Spa day

Taking your well-deserving mammy away for a spa weekend is a Mother's Day favourite. 

While a spa weekend may be pricey, sites like Groupon have some pretty great deals that don't cost a complete bomb. 

 

A post shared by Jennifer  (@jennifernozlihn) on

9. Home spa

However, sometimes an at-home spa can be just as nice!

Stock up on face masks and give your mum a blow dry at home. Even throw in a mani-pedi if you're feeling extra generous. 

8. A scenic hike

If your mum is more of an adventurous type, why not try a hiking trial up a mountain or a forest trail if there is one close to you.

Follow it up with a hearty warm brunch after all that exercise. 

7. Adventure centre

Another one for the athletic mum, an adventure centre is an amazing idea if you have younger siblings who need to expend some energy.

6. Head for the sun

Obviously we would love it if our mums could spend their entire lives on holiday, relaxing in the sunshine like they so deserve.

While it may be a tad last minute to whisk her away this weekend, a quick trip abroad always makes an excellent present.

5. High tea

A beautifully prepared high tea is one of the cutest ways to celebrate a big occasion like Mother's Day.

Your local fancy hotel is sure to have a tea option on their restaurant or lounge menu.

4. Gin tasting

If your mum enjoys a nice beverage or two, a gin tasting or whiskey tour could make for an interesting afternoon.

Bring your best friend and her mum, and the group of you can have an amazing time supping on gin and swapping stories.

3. Beach walk

Enjoying the outdoors with a walk on the beach is one way to spend quality time wih your mum, without the exertion of a full on hike.

Grab some take-out coffee or hot chocolate before you hit the prom to keep those hands toasty.

2. Go antiquing

Antiquing can actually be great craic, and the gems you unearth are completely amazing.

Whether you hit the professional warehouses or take your chances at a flea market, antiquing can definitely be a laugh.

1. Remind her of how special she is

Fancy presents and big adventures are nice and all, but on Mother's Day, the most important thing is to make your mum feel loved.

And whether that's through a giant bouquet or a simple homemade card, she'll know it came from the heart.

In November of 2015, a Twitter user named Molly Hodgdon compiled a list of items which women over the age of 30 should definitely avoid wearing.

But all is not as it seems.

In the satirical Twitter post, Molly ultimately took aim at the endless lists created by women's magazines which suggest – in no uncertain terms – that some items of clothing are strictly off-limits the moment you take your first big step into your third decade.

Opting for a more sensible approach on the ill-advised topic, Molly reminded women that there are indeed some items we should avoid… but only if they pose a risk to you or those around you.

And that post is doing the rounds again this week, and frankly we can't get enough of it.

So, if you've ever wondered what you should avoid as you approach the big 3-0 (or any other time for that matter), Molly has laid it down here for you.

Molly, take a bow!

Ronan Keating has revealed that Boyzone’s 25th anniversary wont go by unnoticed.

A major reunion celebration is in the works for 2018, when the boys will mark a quarter of a century in the music industry. 

Ronan, along with band mates Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy, are discussing a big return. 

"Twenty five years! It’s such a long time and so much has happened,’ Ronan told The Sun."

"I’m sure we’ll mark it in some way. But whether by tour, record, book, musical.  We haven’t decided yet."

 

A post shared by Karen Melanie (@karenmelanie81) on

We can't wait to see what the boys come up with 25 years down the line. 

We're keeping our fingers crossed for a brand new album full of nostalgic 90s vibes!

Between Hanson, B*Witched and now Boyzone, we're spoiled for choice with 90s pop icons.

You may remember Kat Von D from her successful tattoo show LA Ink, but now the American artist is better known for her insanely popular makeup line.

Her coveted makeup only became available in Ireland recently, and is now being sold in Debenhams.

 

A post shared by Kat Von D (@thekatvond) on

The queen of alternative beauty is coming to Dublin this April to celebrate the launch of her line. 

"HELLO, IRELAND! I'm so excited to get the chance to meet you all in Dublin THIS APRIL!" she said, captioning an Instagram post.

"In celebration of @katvondbeauty launching in more @debenhamsbeauty locations this spring, I'll be flying out to give each and everyone of you a big hug!"

 

A post shared by Kat Von D (@thekatvond) on

The tattoo-artist-turned-makeup-mogul will be in Debenhams on Henry Street on April 1 (and this is not a joke).

The catch is that you have to purchase a KVD product on the day to meet Kat, but we're dying to get our hands on a few of her palettes anyway so we don't need another excuse.

Over 1,500 people have clicked attending to the Facebook event, so that's quite a lot of hugs for Kat to dole out!

Winding down is becoming harder and harder these days as many of us find it increasingly difficult to switch off or detach after a hectic day.

Old reliables like chilling out in front of a movie or reading a book just don't have the same appeal as our reliance on email and instant messaging increases, and ultimately distracts us from the task at hand.

However, it looks like millions of people in recent years have found a failsafe way to tune out or drift off, and it's with the help of something known as ASMR.

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is an experience characterised by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, and can be brought about by the sound of hair brushing, hushed tones, page turning or keyboard tapping… among many others.

Indeed, YouTube is awash with videos from all over the world which feature individuals role-playing in a variety of situations including hair appointments, eye examinations and hotel check-ins.

The thing is, though, you either get it or you don't. But if you do, here we have – for your ASMR pleasure – some of the most popular.

1. "This was my very first ASMR video! Knocks me out almost every time!"

2. "This is the best ASMR video I've seen in a long time."

3. "It's so hard explaining this to people."

4. "Your voice is so soothing, you're already one of my fav asmrtists!"

5. "Does anyone else feel that it tickles your back?"

Kylie Jenner basically churns out new products quicker than we can buy them, and this week has been no different.

After the successful but controversial launch of her Kylighters, the teenage makeup mogul has branched out into blushes. 

One interesting aspect of the new line is the very raunchy names that Kylie has allocated to each shade. 

 

A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) on

All of the shades are drop dead gorgeous, and the reality TV star promises that they provide a matte, buildable colour. 

The names are X-Rated, a pale pink, Barely Legal, a warm pink and Virginity, a hot pink.

There is also Hot & Bothered, a divine coral shade, and Hopeless Romantic a ravishing red.  

 

A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) on

The rosy hues sound a tad raunchy, but we're guessing they are all part of the 19-year-old's new, grown-up image. 

"If you know me then you know that my favourite product is blush," said the star via Snapchat.

"So I'm excited to announce that my blushes are joining the Kylie Cosmetics family this Friday," she continued. 

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

The blushes will joining the rest of the now extensive Kylie Cosmetics collection this Friday, March 24 at 10pm.

Much like the rest of the teenager's makeup endeavours, these blushes are sure to sell out fast!

It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday, so if you’re looking for the perfect gift, or you need to share a few handy hinters to your nearest and dearest, look no further than Brooke & Shoals. Founded by Alison Banton in Greystones in Co Wicklow, Alison’s passion for fragrance was inspired by the aromas of the petals she picked as a child in her great-aunt Mollie’s circular rose garden. Mollie used to say the ‘babbling brook and the whispering shoals’ would help her turn Alison’s rose petals into perfume. But overnight, the kind old lady would add real perfume to the little girl’s watery mixture; fooling her into thinking she had created the wonderful aroma.

‘My great-aunt and the mysterious brook and shoals awakened my interest in perfumes, so I added an ‘e’ and turned it into a name that has wonderful fragrance memories for me’.

Alison decided to create her own range of candles that were superior to other Irish made candles on the market. Her vision was simple, high quality, divine fragrances, natural wax, beautiful packaging and Irish made. Her customers loved them. She built on her experience of fragrance by going to Grasse in the South of France, the capital of fragrance, to study it in more detail and gather new inspiration.

Originally, Alison’s wonderful fragranced candles were sold only in her own shop in Greystones, however, as the brand became popular and demand increased, you will now find the Brooke and Shoals natural wax candles, home fragrance diffusers and natural body products in good stores throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe.

We have €120 worth of Brooke & Shoals goodies to give away to one lucky SHEmazing! fan. To be in with a chance to win, just fill in your details below. Good luck x

While it may, quite literally, be snowing outside, Penneys is clearly looking to the future.

The bargain high street brand has just launched an absolute bikini bonanza, and it's making us dream of far-off locations and vacations. 

Mesh panel bikini top €7.00, and bottoms €5.00 each

The latest beachwear drop is hitting Penneys this month, and some of the looks are giving us major vacation inspiration. 

From floral swimsuits to Kylie Jenner inspired strappy sets, we're already planning our holidays around where we can wear these dreamy two-pieces. 

Deep V Swimsuits €10.00 each

We especially love the sexy strap detail on both of these high-cut swimsuits. 

While black may be super-slimming, we also adore the loud, tropical print on the other suit, perfect for a pool party. 

Turquoise bikini top €7.00, and €5.00, Copper bikini top €9.00, Copper bikini bottoms €5.00

These panelled bikinis are giving us major Triangl vibes, and we can't wait to get our hands on them!

Burgundy bikini  top €5.00, and bottoms €3.00, Pastel pink bikini top €2.50, and bottoms €2.50

These simple, mix-and-match bikinis are perfect to stock up on before a summer away.

The flattering shapes and subtle hues mean that they will still be in style next summer, if you really want to get some bang for your buck. 

Blue and pink bikini top €5.00, and bottoms €3.00, Triangle top €5.00, and bottoms €3.00

So while the sun may not have quite reached Ireland yet (that's an understatement),  we might have to stock up on a few of our favourite sets before they sell out. 

We'll be the bikini-laden one in the queue, so see you there.
