It's happening, ladies! 

With the inaugural SHEmazing Awards just around the corner, we've no doubt you have oodles of deserving people, places and products, but who, what and where to choose is the question, right?

With that in mind, we've decided to take the pressure off by taking a closer look at the categories over the coming days.

We have already taken a look here and here, so let's move on to our next four!

Beauty Product of the Year

Our shelves are positively heaving under the number of products we use on a regular basis, and yet we all have that one special product we simply couldn't live without.

And we want to know what yours is!

Nominate the product which revolutionised your beauty routine this year, and let's see it how it fares on the night!

Foodie Award

We’ve always been a nation of food lovers, but the birth of Instagram has definitely taken it to the next level.

Whether you drool over this Foodie’s uploads or take inspiration from their recipes, now is the time to pay tribute to their culinary creativity.

Nominate the Foodie who you think deserves the title this year!

#FitFam Award

Whether it’s their dedication to their goals, their attitude to health and fitness or their second-to-none squats, the FitFam Award is your chance to remind your nominee that they’re absolutely killing it on the health and fitness front in Ireland.

Maybe it's a PT who turned your life around, an Instagrammer who turned their own life around or an athlete who inspired the nation over the last 12 months, the #FitFam Award is made for them!

Style Icon of the Year

When it comes to style, women in Ireland have it absolutely nailed, and with some seriously stiff competition to consider, we're officially on the hunt for Ireland’s most style-savvy fashionista.

Will it be a blogger, asocial media star or a famous face who takes the crown on the night?

That, ladies, is up to you!

Ladies, it's time to VOTE!

In mere weeks, we'll be celebrating 16 of Ireland's biggest and brightest stars, and we can't do it without you.

We've no doubt you have lists upon lists of deserving people, places and products, but who, what and where to choose is the question, right?

With the inaugural SHEmazing Awards just around the corner, we've decided to take the pressure off by taking a closer look at the categories over the coming days.

Here, ladies, are the first four, and here are the next four…

The Creative of the Year Award

When it comes to writers, musicians, make up artists and street artists, we're absolutely spoiled for choice in Ireland.

From author Louise O'Neill to musicians All Tvvin and makeup artist Orla Hurney, there are no shortage of creative people in this country.

And with more and more incredible talent emerging with every passing day, there are hundreds of deserving winners killing it on the scene right now, but who deserves the crown?

The Trailblazer of the Year Award

We have some of the brightest talent in the realm of entrepreneurship, but who do you think really made a name for themselves in the world of business this year?

Does Rosie Connolly deserve the gong following the launch of Aluxe? What about Siobhan O'Hagan of OH Fitness? Or would it be Nicky Hoyne, the face behind My Shining Armour?

The Social Influencer of the Year Award

If anyone knows who's absolutely slaying on social these days, it's you guys.

So who gets it? Who's inspiring on Instagram, killing it on Snapchat, and basically owning it online in recent months?

It's time to cast your vote, ladies!

The Fearless AF Award

Who speaks their mind, leads their generation and makes sure their voice is heard above the din of the crowd?

Are we talking Repeal Project founder Anna Cosgrave for her? What about Una Mullally for her work during the equality campaign?

Who galvanised the country, who inspired the nation, who gets your vote?

If you're ready to cast your vote, you can do it right here!

Just months after her sister Kim Kardashian was robbed at gun point in Paris, it has been reported that Kendall Jenner was targeted by jewellery thieves in her home.

According to TMZ, the robbers entered her house in broad daylight, however there was no sign of forced entry.

 

A post shared by Kendall (@kendalljenner) on

When the supermodel arrived home, she realised items were missing and reported that €187,000 worth of diamonds were stolen from her room.

In the upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim will speak about the Paris robbery, and we'll see an insight into the aftermath of the ordeal.

It hasn't been an easy few months for the family.

If you're not interested in getting locked this Friday, you may feel like you have no options when it comes to fun things to do on Paddy's Day.

However, we've thought of quite a few options for the teetotallers who walk among us. 

10. An online shopping spree

 

A post shared by ASOS (@asos) on

Black Friday and New Years are usually when the sales commence, but one online store is doing n offer for Saint Patrick's Day.

ASOS is offering customers 20 per cent off for the day that's in it, with the code PATS20.

9. The Secret Session, 16–18 March, the RDS 

A true celebration of everything Irish, this indoor festivity is set to be a good one.

Live Bands, DJ’s, rugby on the big screens, and Irish dancing lessons are all to be expected, as well as oversized Jenga, Connect-Four, and ring toss. 

8. Netflix binge

 

A post shared by hoelyboobz (@hoelyboobz) on

Netflix is getting all patriotic, and hopes to everything that is Irish by promoting  great Irish films and flicks with Irish actors in them. 

Brooklyn, The Young Offenders, Bloody Sunday and Sing Street are all available on Netflix, along with many more. 

7. Dublin Bay Prawn Festival, 17–19 March, Howth Village

The Dublin Bay Prawn Festival is the ultimate foodie experience offering delicious food and live cooking demos, street entertainment and demonstrations by local fishermen all in the heart of the idyllic village of Howth.

6. Outdoor Adventuring 

 

A post shared by Áine Finn  (@aine_finnx) on

While most people will flock in to town for some frenzied festivities, a nice walk along the beach or a picnic in the park can be just as merry. 

Grab the kids, the other half or the dog and set out on a bright and blustery Paddy's Day adventure. 

Alternatively if you're a fan of organised fun, book in to an adventure centre for some canoeing or rock climbing. 

5. The Spirit of Dublin Craft and Food Fair, March 18, Teeling Whiskey Distillery

 

A post shared by Currabinny (@currabinny) on

While this festival may be at a whiskey distillery, we're going to this one for the amazing food alone. 

Exhibitors will include Dublin Doughnut Company, Dot Brew, Popsy Daisy Popcorn, The Cupcake Bloke, Currabinny, Bean and Goose, Hope Brewery, Improper Butter and Delish Melish, so wear your (green) eating pants.

So while we might feel like absolute creeps loving murder podcasts, it's one of our favourite hobbies.

Seriously, if anyone saw our YouTube suggestions they'd think we were plotting something sinister. 

Here are a few of our favourite true-crime podcasts, listen at your own risk: 

6. Real Crime Profile 

The amazing and eery thing about this particular podcast is that involves people who really know what they're talking about when it comes to true crime. 

The podcast features Jim Clemente, a former FBI profiler, Laura Richards, formerly of New Scotland Yards, who is now the Founder and Director of Paladin, the National Stalking Advocacy Service, and Lisa Zambetti, who is the casting director for CBS' Criminal Minds.

The team profile behaviour from real criminal cases to chilling effect. 

5. They Walk Among Us

To sum this one up, They Walk Among Us is a bi-weekly UK true crime podcast that covers a broad range of cases.

Headed up by Benjamin and Rosie, the pair divulge the details of strange and surreal cases, and focuses on UK-based crimes.

As well as laying out the facts, this podcast also brings the crimes full circle, giving details on the criminals and where they are now. It's pretty unsettling stuff. 

4. Casefile True Crime

With a description like "fact is scarier than fiction," you know this series is going to be good. 

The narrator calmly and creepily tells stories of devastating Australian crimes, and we're totally hooked.

Sometimes, in cases where the culprit avoids detection, the narrator speculates on potential theories about whop could have committed the crime. It's quite literally thrilling.

3. Unsolved Murders : True Crime Stories

Unsolved Murders: True Crime Stories is a riveting podcast drama that delves into the mystery of true cold cases and unsolved murders.

The podcast reexamines old cases and explores the unsolved in the spookiest and most engaging manner. 

2. Untold

Untold is unique, as unlike many of these podcasts, it examines only one murder. 

The podcast probes the brutal murder of private eye Daniel Morgan in 1987, a case which is one of the most investigated but unsolved in British criminal history.

Another eery aspect of this podcast is that it is headed up by none other than Daniel Morgan's brother Alastair Morgan, along with Peter Dukes. 

1. Actual Innocence

This podcast is unique, as while it focuses on true crime, it is specifically interested in those who have been wrongfully convicted of those crimes.

"Each episode will introduce an exonerated person and the story of how the criminal justice system failed them," the site explains.

If there is anything scarier than being sentenced to life for a crime you didn't commit, we have yet to hear it.

Liquid eyeliner is notoriously tricky to apply, so we'll take any help we can get in that area.

Instagram beauty blogger Makeup By Sugar has figured out a one-step way to flawlessly apply liquid liner, and she uses a slightly unorthodox tool to do so.

 

A post shared by Makeup By Sugar (@iamsugarcoated) on

While dental floss is usually the domain of the dental hygiene department, the MUA is giving it a new lease of life in the latest Instagram video.

The makeup lover drenches the floss in eyeliner pigment before stamping the winger shape onto the outer corner of her eyes.

Completely genius. 

 

A post shared by Makeup By Sugar (@iamsugarcoated) on

We can barely draw on one wobbly line, never mind two, se we're really loving this hack.

We'd take any excuse to munch a whole bag of crisps, and now with Saint Patrick's Day around the corner, our sense of patriotism is coming in handy. 

Combining two esteemed Irish brands, O’Donnells have created a Ballymaloe Relish and Cheddar Cheese flavour of their hand-cooked crisps, and we've never needed less of an excuse to scoff the lot.

“For many years our customers have asked for Ballymaloe Relish flavoured crisps so we are thrilled to see this happen and with such a fantastic company O’Donnells!" said Maxine Hyde, Head of Sales and Marketing for Ballymaloe Foods. 

"It was great fun developing the flavour with Ed and Kate O’Donnell. “

The crisps are made using home grown Tipperary potatoes, and O'Donnells have sourced the best local artisan food producers in Ballymaloe to provide unique individual flavours.

The gluten free crisps will be appearing on the supermarket shelves in mid-March, and we honestly cannot wait.
