There have been plenty of whitening tricks doing the rounds on Instagram lately, from charcoal treatments to coconut oil hacks.

Penneys is keeping on top of these dental trends with their new range, Ps…Hollywood, which has officially ticked all the boxes when it comes to Instagram's tooth whitening trends.

As the worldwide obsession with coconut oil reaches its peak, oil pulling has become a common dental trend, which claims to be a gentle way to whiten teeth while doing wonders for the gums.

Every reality TV celebrity worth their salt has been flogging various oil pulling products on social media, and now Penneys is creating their own.

Keen to get in on the trend, the high street bargain store has launched its own sachets of coconut oil. 

PS… Hollywood Oil Pulling treatment €4.00

Oil pulling is a simple enough way of whitening teeth, but it takes commitment.

Pour the coconut oil in your mouth and swish it between your teeth for up to 20 minutes for best results. 

The oil is said to lift stains and strengthen gums. 

PS… Hollywood Charcoal Toothpaste €2.00

Another toothy trend online right now is using charcoal to lift stains.

While brushing your chompers with a black paste may look pretty scary, the active ingredients in charcoal lift stains and combat the bacteria that causes bad breath. 

At €4.00 and €2.00 respectively a pop, the products are landing in stores this month, and we might have to give both of these Insta trends a try.

Doggie agility competitions can be absolutely adorable and completely hilarious.

From the uber-competitive pups who take it all very seriously, to the loose cannons who make a holy show of their owners, Crufts Dog Show is always worth a watch. 

This year, one little pupper stood out from all the rest. 

Olly, a sprightly little Jack Russell terrier, had his owner in quite a flap while he attempted to compete in the Rescue Dog Agility Course.

The pup went totally off-course, running amok and face-planting on the field after trying out some ambitious jumps.

While Olly may not have won any prizes, the Twittersphere loved him, and proclaimed him to be the star of the show. 

Dubbed the ultimate tryer, Olly got plenty of online attention, especially for his jump attempt, which saw him land flat on his face after knocking the jump bar off the podium (thankfully he wasn't hurt at all).

 Check out his full run for yourself, and prepare to fall in love with the persevering doggo:

We're all pretty obsessed with Anastasia Beverly Hills products, but we don't love them enough to commit a major crime to get our hands on them.

It seems that not everyone is on our moral wavelength when it comes to palette pinching, as NBC reports that over €4,200,000 worth of ABH eye shadow palettes were stolen from their warehouses.

 

A post shared by Surabhi (@makeupbysurabhi) on

The thieves focused on swiping the Modern Renaissance Palette from the ABH warehouse, one of the company's most popular makeup ventures. 

The thefts occurred back in January, but have only recently come to the forefront.

Los Angeles police said this week that they are investigating how the thieves made off with so much of the swiped shadow. 

The suspects are alleged to have sawed through the roof of a San Fernando Valley warehouse and stolen up to 100,000 packages of eye shadow, according to the LA Times. 

I mean, we'd all love a Modern Renaissance Palette, but really?

Every now and again, a fashion item comes around that divides the nation.

From fluffy sliders to Juicy Couture track suits, sometimes the weirder side of fashion can cause  major debate.

Now, Topshop is getting quite a few questions about their new style of jean.

The "clear knee mom jeans" feature a clear plastic panel at the knees.

Kind of like windows to the knees, if you will.  

Twitter is in uproar over the style, as people feel that they are just plain ridiculous.

The jeans have been dubbed "ugly" and a sign that we are "living in dark times." Slightly over-dramatic. 

 Priced at around €68.00, the patella ponchos are not going down well at all. 

While the denim and perspex pair of pants is definitely on the daring side, we don't think they look that bad.

 However, we do wonder what purpose these panels could actaully serve?

I guess they'd keep your jeans dry if you needed to kneel to tie your shoe lace, but other than that, it must just be one of those fashion things. 

Twitter users have also taken to mocking another pair of Topshop denims, which feature a mesh skirt overlay.

They're really not getting an easy time from fashion critics today, are they?

A quarter of a century (yes, we went there) after forming their sibling triad of a band, Hanson is going on tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary. 

The brothers enjoyed fame and fortune with their break-out hit MMMbop, and we've been bopping away to the tune ever since. 

 

A post shared by Site Lizana Lima (@sitelizanalima) on

"Making music together for 25 years is a milestone that we had to acknowledge, and what better way to do it than with an anniversary tour," Taylor Hanson said

“This year is not only about the two decades of music, it’s about celebrating the incredible community of fans who have been with us, singing along year after year," Isaac Hanson added.

The band isn't coming to Dublin (rude) but if you want to MMMbop the night away, the closest the brothers will be coming to our Emerald Isle is London on June 10. 

So if you're a major 90s fan, this gig might be right up your alley!

Lindsay Lohan has been embracing other cultures quite a bit recently, from her new accent to the rumours that she is converting to Islam.

Now, Lindsay has hinted that she is working on a new fashion line, which appears to embrace cultural diversity by including modest wear.

The modest wear pointer comes from an Instagram picture that the actress posted to announce the line, in which she is donning an embellished head scarf. 

 

A post shared by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on

There is no word yet on when the collection will launch other than LiLo's vague "soon," but if her project does include modest wear such as hijab and head scarves, the actress will be among fashion houses like Dolce & Gabbana and Nike who have both created modest designs for Islamic women. 

Lindsay has previously had two forays into the fashion world, both of which did not work out very well for the star.

 

A post shared by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on

In 2008 at the height of her fame, LiLo launched a line of designer leggings, which quickly lost popularity as Lindsay's party-hard persona became problematic. 

Lindsay also debuted a collection as an artistic advisor for Emanuel Ungaro in 2009, which was ridiculed by fashion experts at the time. 

Hopefully her new line will be a success, we can't wait to see what it looks like!

To celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, many Irish folk like to hit the town and enjoy a polite, quiet beverage or two. 

Now, our fondness for a casual tipple has been translated into doughnut form, and to be honest we couldn't be more delighted.

To celebrate our national saint, The Rolling Donut has teamed up with Jameson's Irish Whiskey to bring us the Jameson Doughnut. 

"Introducing the Jameson Donut!" reads a post on the Rolling Donut's Facebook page.  

"Thanks to our friends at Jameson Irish Whiskey we've created a delicious whiskey cream filled donut, topped with a whiskey glaze and crumbled shortbread, for the week that's in it."

Cue a national chorus of Homer Simpson-style drooling sounds. 

You can find the tasty treats at The Rolling Donut at  55 South King Street Dublin 2, or at 34 Bachelors Walk Dublin 1.

See you in the queue!

Thousands of Irish women marked International Women's Day by taking to the streets in both the strike and march to repeal the 8th amendment.

The Repeal Project has gone from strength to strength since its conception, and supporters of the movement can be identified by their distinguishable black slogan jumper.

Unfortunately, the jumpers have been out of stock for months, despite the demand for them.

 

A post shared by Aoife Mc (@eefa.loves) on

Aside from a Repeal pop-up in Nine Crows last December, the jumpers have been notoriously tricky to get ahold of since last summer.

Luckily, for those who still hanker to get their hands on one, the Repeal Project has announced that they will be restocking their online store on April 23. 

The store previously sold the jumpers as well as T-shirts, and even hinted at some snazzy bomber jackets. 

 

A post shared by Repeal Project (@repealproject) on

The proceeds from the sales go to The Abortion Rights Campaign Ireland, so you can now sartorially support the cause while donating to it financially.

People have been going to great lengths to get their hands on the jumpers, and SHEmazing! even previously exposed a black market of counterfeit jumpers

Mak your calendars if you've been waiting all these months to get your hands on the real deal.

OJ Simpson is currently serving 33 years in a Nevada prison after he was found guilty in 2008 of robbery and kidnapping. 

The former NFL player is eligible for parole in October, and according to TMZ, there is an opportunity for the star to cash in on his infamy. 

After the success of the TV drama, The People vs. OJ Simpson, some producers could be interested in offering OJ a show. 

In 2006, a TV special was shot about the book OJ Simpson wrote, entitled If I Did It, which fictionally explored how he would have committed the double murder of his ex wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman back in 1994, a case in which he was the main suspect. 

"Someone will try to recreate the TV special that was never broadcast for several reasons … years have passed, O.J. has done time for unrelated crimes, and People vs. O.J. Simpson was a big hit," according to the sources approached by TMZ. 

The TV special never aired due to public outcry. 

The former NFL player could be released from prison on parole later this year.

Kylie Cosmetics has had quite a few mishaps in the short time that the company has been in existence.

Makeup mogul Kylie Jenner has come under fire once again for the cosmetic company's latest mistake, which saw Kylie customers receive Kylighters with empty pans. 

 

Some customers have received their Kylie packages, but upon opening their Kylighter palettes, they found that there is no highlighter inside the packaging.

The issue seems to transcend shades, with Banana Split, Cotton Candy and Chocolate Cherry all affected according to customer photos.

This bizarre mishap is the latest in a long list of Kylie Cosmetics beauty blunders, after the teen's Peach Palette was said to have given off a chemical smell which caused headaches, and later fans accused the star of repackaging old lip kits as new "exclusive shades." 

Others have tweeted to complain that when they did receive Kylighters with pans full of product, some of them were smashed.

Others received boxes which had removable stickers for labels, instead of the name of the product being printed on the boxes.

When one customer peeled off the sticker, the name on the box read First Date, one of Kylie's Valentine's Edition blush names.

Whether this customer got a sneak peek at one of Kylie's future releases or if he got an old product box is yet to be seen. 

 

A post shared by Sanders Kennedy (@justsandsworld) on

Kylie's customer service team has been reaching out to customers to offer apologies and replacements for the empty pan products.

However, they have not made any comment on the peeling labels.
