Instagram is chock-a-block with pictures of chiselled abs and pert posteriors, and the fitspiration side of social media has a reputation for posting the most perfectly posed pictures to showcase their bodies in the best light.

The saturation of perfect, toned bodies can leave aspiring athletes feeling a little disheartened, as they measure themselves up against the progress of others on the online platform. 

 

A post shared by Sara Puhto (@saggysara) on

One fitness fan, Sara Puhto, has committed herself to toning her body, and has taken it upon herself to blow the lid off the facade of the perfect Instagram fitness photo.

Sara has posted a series of images proving that some progress photos don't really show real growth at all, and are just staged, posed and lit to give the illusion of posterior progress.

In a world that's obsessed with the classic Kardashian combo of a flat stomach and big booty, Sara encourages the maintenance of realistic expectations.

"Bodies fluctuate daily, even hourly. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, week or month," the fitness fan captioned one of her posts. 

"Everyone has bad days. Everyone has some % of body fat. And everyone's body looks different from different angles/poses whether they're flexed, relaxed or bloated."

"People will post their highlights and their hard work on Instagram so don't compare yourself to them! You're beautiful no matter what."

Sharing her revelatory snaps with her 76,000 followers, the body positivity activist is using her platform to show people that all is not as it seems in the feed of progress photos.

She aims to inspire her followers to embrace their own bodies, and tells her fans not to get hung up over the bodies of others.

That's the kind of positive fitness message we can get behind.

The day we never thought would come is finally here. Starburst is releasing an ALL pink pack.

The sweets will be available for a short time only, but we're excited to finally not have to throw away a half-eaten pack (yellow Starburst sweets are not our fave).

So far, the pink pack is only hitting US stores, and Wrigleys has not yet comment on whether it'll be coming to Ireland.

"From memes about relationships to sharing photos of excitement when getting a pink Starburst, over half of all references to Starburst on social media are about pink Starburst," said the sweet's spokesperson Michelle Green.

If you have mates living across the pond, drop them a line, but fingers crossed Ireland gets to experience the all pink pack soon too.

Between Summer of 69 and Everything I Do (I Do It For You), Bryan Adams has released some absolute belters in his day, and there's scarcely a house in Ireland that doesn't have at least one of the Canadian's CDs nested among others.

So, we are pretty pumped to learn that the Heaven singer will be taking to the stage to play Live At The Marquee in Cork later this summer!

Following his last sell-out show at the Marquee in 2014, the multi-platinum selling recording artist has confirmed he will bring his GET UP TOUR back to the People's Republic on 11 July 2017.

With over 65 million records sales under his belt and number 1s in 40 countries, the singer's decision to return to Cork has unsurprisingly thrilled his Irish fans.

If you want in on the action, be sure to bring your A-game next Monday at 9am when tickets for the gig go on sale.

See y'all there, ladies.

We're loving all of the Beauty and the Beast merch that's being released in the lead up to the release of the new live action flick.

From beauty serums to Juicy Couture collabs, we could be decked out in Disney in two seconds flat.

The latest addition to the Beauty and the Beast bonanza are these divine nail wraps that we're more than a little bit obsessed with.

The wraps take their inspiration from the original film, depicting the Disney cartoons china pattern and rose theme.

The wraps are by a company called Jamberry, and our favourite set has to be the white manicure which pays homage to one of the cartoons cutest characters, Chip. 

The stained glass theme of the Disney movie also features, on a set of wraps complete with a classic Beauty and the Beast rose motif.

Another set of wraps in the collection showcases the heroine Belle, depicting the classic scene in which she wonders how she can get out of her small-minded little town. 

We cant wait to get our hands on these wraps in time for the movies release on March 17, to create a manicure that's definitely Disney princess worthy.

When you think of the perfect night in, it mainly consists of booze and your favourite TV shows.

Well, this Galway hotel is zoning in on that with the layout of its new rooms.

Residence Hotel is a new boutique hotel situated in the centre of Galway and is set to open this month.

Inside all of the hotel's rooms is Belair Champagne on demand, access to Netflix and a Nespresso machine to wake yourself up in the morning after a night of binge-watching The OA.

Netflix and chill in a swanky hotel? We're down with that.

It's International Womens Day, and if ever there was a day to sit back and relax with a cocktail, this is it. Treat yo'self. 

Luckily, one bar in Dublin city has decided to pay homage to the ladies who frequent its establishment with a delectable free drink. 

Adelphi, on Middle Abbey Street, is offering all women a free cocktail to celebrate the day that's in it. 

"To celebrate International Women's Day this Wednesday we will be giving all the ladies a complementary Toblerone cocktail 'because your worth it,'" reads a post on the bars Facebook page. (sic)

The Toblerone cocktail looks dreamy, complete with chocolate sauce and honey.

After a long day of working or marching for reproductive rights, a cocktail would be the perfect tonic.

Hold the phone – Ed Sheeran is creating his very own boyband, and it's like something we never knew we wanted.

Because, let's be honest, most boybands have had their time; but an Ed Sheeran boyband? Now that's what we're talking about.

The singer is in the middle of auditioning aspiring performers to make a "superpop" group.

A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) on

The handsome red head graced the cover of Rolling Stone this month, and the feature inside claims Ed is “in the process of auditioning members of a boy band” and has “already written lots of songs for the group."

The songs are “really, really decent. Superpop, but obviously credible."

He added that he will also want to take the successful lads on tour with him: “I’m gonna put three or four boys together and do all the songs, take them on the stadium tour with me.”

We can't wait for this!

Last month, Scarlett Johansson split from her husband, Romain Dauriac, and it seems like the actress is now filing for a divorce.

According to the New York Post's Page Six, Scarlett was in court yesterday and actually sued her French ex, saying that their marriage is "irretrievably broken."

Scarlett also asked the judge to grant her full custody of their three-year-old daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac, but according to Romain's lawyer, he's prepared to fight her through the proceedings.

The journalist's lawyer, Harold Mayerson, told Page Six: "He would like to move to France with his daughter and Ms. Johansson does a lot of travelling.

"It will be an interesting process."

Scarlett married Romain in 2014, and had their daughter shortly afterwards.

It's one thing to upload a picture with dodgy Photoshop, but it is quite another to share an image that includes the photoshopping instructions. 

Luxury online retailer Net-A-Porter is in a bit of hot water this week after the site uploaded an image which shows a perfectly slim model showcasing a pair of designer socks.

What's unusual about this photo however, are the arrows which point to the model's legs, arms and hips which play host to the command "please, slim."

The image seems to have been uploaded accidentally with the instructions still attached, in place of the photoshopped picture.

The model, whose name is Amelia according to the picture, already looks very slim, and the luxury brand distributor has been called out online for its unnecessary retouching on a photo flogging a pair of socks. 

The image has since been removed from the website and replaced with a new edited version, but not before it was noticed by shoppers.

"@NETAPORTER you might want to edit this pic or better yet delete it??" tweeted one fashion fan. 

While we're all pretty aware that most images in the fashion industry are manipulated or altered in some way, this blatant display of editing a model who is already thin to be thinner is striking. 

Net-A-Porter has yet to comment on the issue.

Most of us seen the video of what went down with Louis Tomlinson in LAX Airport earlier this week (if you didn't, check out here).

The One Direction singer was arrested after a fight broke out between him and a photographer, who was harrassing him and his girlfriend, Eleanor.

Eleanor was also swarmed by fans, which clearly made Louis mad, and all hell kinda broke loose, and now Louis will have to appear in court on March 29 to plead his case.

But, now Perrie Edwards is defending her friend, by saying "he's a really nice guy."

The singer spoke out in support of Louis during an interview with Etalk, saying: "When you watch the video, all he's doing is protecting his girlfriend like any normal guy would.

"But because he's obviously in….which was one of the biggest bands in the world, people are just going to be constantly on him which I think is unfair for him and Eleanor."

Perrie and the Little Mix girls also spoke about how they handle fame, and said they wouldn't know what to do in that situation.

Today is International Women's Day, and so it is only fitting that this afternoon, thousands of Irish women will gather on O'Connell Bridge in Dublin to participate in the Strike 4 Repeal. 

Similar gatherings will be happening all over the country, but before this morning's pickets began,  a few key characters in Dublin's cityscape were already striking. 

On your commute today, you may have noticed that some of Dublin's statues were obscured with black fabric. 

These statues are a symbol of solidarity from the Strike 4 Repeal movement for the 10-12 Irish women who must travel to the UK and further everyday to procure safe abortion practices.

The statues, veiled in black and carrying lightning bolts, the symbol of the movement, are cloaked and striking in alliance to represent how ingrained in Irish society the problem of reproductive rights is. 

In existence but rarely acknowledged, much like the statues, according to Strike 4 Repeal activists. 

The statues were obscured by volunteers of the movement, who were up at the crack of dawn to ensure that the statement would be in place for those who are unable to strike today to see on their way to work.

"We wanted to take a direct action that would make a visual impact," said one activist. 

"Visibility is very important because women who get an abortion in the UK or abroad, they return to a country that is full of stigma where no one talks about it."

"We targeted key monuments to make people aware of the strike. Those who are unable to strike will see the lightning bolt symbol and be reminded of what is going on in town later today," she finished. 

"Let us go out to march today to let out the truth that Ireland is not a safe place for women and pregnant persons," reads a statement on the Strike 4 Repeal Instagram page.  

"That our government is failing us in providing essential reproductive healthcare. That the life of anyone who is pregnant cannot be prioritised because of the 8th Amendment and that tragedies happen."

"That women have been told their physical and mental health must take a backseat. This is what every tourist, visitor, student, and worker to Ireland must know and every Irish person must consider. No more sweeping us under the carpet."

The Strike 4 Repeal movements "Meet me on the Bridge" video campaign has gone viral this week, with over 370,000 views and thousands of likes. 

The strike is happening today, kicking off at 10.30am in a picket at the Department of Justice and culminating in a mass gathering on O'Connell Bridge at 12.30am. 

SHEmazing! will be at the strike, so follow us on Snapchat @shemazingie and keep an eye on our Facebook for live updates.

It looks like Kristen Stewart's long, brunette locks are now a thing of the past.

The actress debuted a drastic new look at the premiere of her new film, Personal Shopper,  in LA last night.

Kristen chopped her hair into a buzzcut style and dyed it peroxide blonde, and we have to say, it looks killer.

The Twilight alum wore an all-black ensemble on the red carpet, and donned heavy eye make-up to go with her new do.

Kristen's new film is a psychological thriller, based on an old ghost story that takes place in the underground fashion scene in Paris.

We think Kristen's new look is absolutely gorgeous.
