In an Instagram post which has amassed almost 100,000 likes in just 15 minutes, Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she has been suffering from postpartum depression.

Alongside a black and white shot of herself, the much-loved model thanked Glamour magazine for allowing her to share her experience, and told her followers that she is relieved to have been able to open up about the issue.

31-year-old Chrissy, who welcomed baby Luna in 2016, wrote: "I'll just say it: I have post partum depression. So much love to @glamourmag for letting me share something that was eating me up inside for months and months."

While acknowledging her popularity on social media, Chrissy admitted that she was apprehensive about sharing her experience despite her notably candid demeanour.

"One of the most amazing things about social media is the ability to interact candidly with friends and fans and it felt so weird knowing what I was going through but not really feeling like it was the right place to speak on it," she wrote.

 

I have dreamed of this day!

"I've always felt genuinely close to all of you and I'm insanely relieved you now know something that has been such a huge part of me for so long."

In the essay published in the popular magazine, Chrissy wrote: "I know I might sound like a whiny, entitled girl. Plenty of people around the world in my situation have no help, no family, no access to medical care."

"I can’t imagine not being able to go to the doctors that I need," she added.

Chrissy's post has been inundated with messages of support from fans and followers, with one writing: "I felt so bad that you felt the need to apologize because you're "famous" which is bs because you're still human and allowed to have a mental illness."

While she still has ‘rough days’, Chrissy insists is improving every day.

President Donald Trump has today signed a revised version of his controversial travel ban.

The revised ban will halt entry to the United States to individuals from six Muslim-majority countries who are currently seeking new visas.

According to a fact sheet obtained by The Associated Press, the revised order imposes a 90-day ban on people from Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, but does not apply to those who already have valid visas.

It is understood that the revised order, which was signed by President Trump today, excludes Iraq after advisors highlighted Iraq’s role in combating terror group ISIS.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally unveiled the new edict today.

In keeping with his decisions to sign most executive orders in private, President Trump signed the measure without news organisations present today.

The order will take effect on March 16.

Healthy, cheap, filling, office-friendly: soups are your best friend if you want to avoid the dreaded Sad Desk Lunch.

And even if there are plenty of nice options in the shop, they will never be as good as the one you make yourself. You can trust us on this, there is nothing as easy to make as a big batch of soup that will last you a whole week!

The great thing about soup is that it is quite hard to mess up. If you just buy what is in season – and usually, on offer – peel it, cover it with water and let it cook gently, you will definitely end up with a delicious soup.

But for those afraid to try, don't worry, we have you covered with these 3 foolproof recipes.

Creamy courgette soup

  • 1kg courgette, roughly chopped
  • 500g potato, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch spring onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 stock cube
  • 100g grated parmesan, to serve
  • 10g butter
  • Pepper to taste

In a large saucepan, melt the butter and cook the spring onions for 2 minutes.

Add the courgettes, potatoes and stock cube and cover with water.

Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.

Cook for about 20 minutes, until vegetables are soft.

Blend and serve topped with freshly ground pepper and grated parmesan. 

 

Spicy butternut squash soup

  • 1 butternut squash, cut into chunks
  • 3 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 3cm fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 stock cube
  • Sour cream to serve

In a large saucepan, melt the coconut and fry the onion, garlic and ginger for about 3 minutes.

Add the butternut squash, carrots, stock cube, turmeric and cayenne pepper and cover with water.

Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Blend and serve, topped with a dollop of sour cream if desired.  

 

Green pea soup

  • 1kg frozen peas
  • 3 shallots, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 25g butter
  • 1 stock cube
  • Pepper
  • Greek yoghurt and finely chopped mint to serve

Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the shallots and garlic.

Cook for 2 minutes

Add the peas and the stock cube and cover with water.

Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. 

Blend and serve topped with a tablespoon of greek yoghurt and some fresh finely chopped mint.

Are you a big fan of Vera Wang Princess perfume? Or do you consider it the scent of your youth?

We can all recall that fruity floral scent that made everyone feel like a Disney Princess when they wore it. 

Well ladies, get ready to have your mind blown.

You all know what the bottle looks like, right? A heart shaped glass with a gorgeous bejewelled crown for a lid.

But did you know that your favourite perfume actually comes with a RING? We had no idea.

When you take off the adorable tiny crown, you can actually remove the bottom half, to reveal your glorious new ring. 

Now it may not be your style, and it may not fit you (fingers come in different shapes and sizes), but a free ring is a free ring. 

This discovery was originally made by Cosmopolitan's Laura Capon, when she was trying out Vera Wang's newest Princess scent, which is dubbed Princess Of Hearts.

Honestly, we got way more excited about this discovery than we care to admit. 

Did you know about this free ring?

According to emerging reports, a woman has been stopped at Dublin Port after officials discovered she was carrying four pugaleer-type puppies in her hand luggage.

The woman, with an address in Scotland, was boarding a ferry bound for Holyhead when she was stopped in the capital.

Unable to produce any documentation for the animals, the woman, who explained that she had bought the dogs from an online seller, was forced to place the puppies in the care of the DSPCA.

As it stands, Irish and UK law state that any dogs being transported between Irish and the UK must possess an up-to-date Pet Passport with records of vaccinations, microchips and veterinary certificate.

It has been established that the DSCPA are investigating the incident, and have advised the public that the animals are not up for adoption as of yet.

Taking to their Facebook page, the organisation highlighted the incident with the public, writing: "This seizure brings to light once again the issues surrounding the sale and origins of puppies bought in the Republic of Ireland."

"The DSPCA strongly believe that the origin of all puppies and dogs should be declared and be verifiable," they added in a post which contained photographs of the four animals at the centre of the incident.

The world is divided into two kinds of people.

There are those who –  when facing into six long weeks of Lent without sugar –  will avoid anything that might trigger a craving, and then there are those who will trawl Instagram and tantilise themselves with images of sugary works of art.

Ladies, we fall firmly into the second camp.

Six days into our Lenten Promise, we've sought solace on the world wide web, and are currently salivating over cupcakes that look like cactuses.

Don't judge us, because you'll soon be salivating too.

So, there was this one…

In these times, it can sometimes feel like Ireland has gone backwards, or our residents aren't creative enough to build major empires for themselves.

But honestly, that couldn't be further from the truth.

While attending Ireland's Best Young Entrepreneur Awards in Google HQ yesterday, I saw first-hand just how driven, smart, and ambitious young entrepreneurs in Ireland are.

The awards are aimed at people between the ages of 18 and 35, who own, manage and control their own businesses – and there’s a lot of reasons why they enter this competition.

There is a €2m investment fund and business support to help their businesses along the way. There's also various amounts of prize money given out to winners and runners-up in each field.

But their drive extends far beyond monetary incentive as I discovered yesterday.

These people are passionate about their businesses, they’re not afraid to take risks and they believe in themselves – something we should all try, no matter what line of work we’re in.

Ciara Clancy, who took home two awards for Best Established Business and Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur, is not only changing the medical game for Parkinson's Disease in Ireland, but pushing boundaries all over the world with her app.

Richard Barrett, who created Pundit Arena, is giving sports journalism a new playing field and Roisin Hogan, who used to be an accountant, is now trying to change how busy women eat on-the-go.

No two businesses were the same, yet they all gained from being part of this programme.

Entrepreneurship in Ireland has majorly grown over the past five years, with start-up businesses accounting for two thirds of all new jobs in Ireland.

And with this being Local Enterprise Week, you can see how much backing start-up businesses have in Ireland, which is something I never realised before.

€32 million was invested in start-up businesses last year, with Enterprise Ireland supporting 229 new companies.

The government want you to be creative. They want you to come to them with a business idea. And, they want to help you make that vision a reality.

And as airy-fairy as that may sound, it's clear that more people need to do it.

We complain that there’s no jobs in Ireland, yet the nominees who took part in yesterday’s awards ranged from professionals in journalism, agriculture, motors, healthy eating and even bee-keeping.

There was a niche for everyone. They all created jobs in their local county, but most of all, they have all created a business that will not only help the economy, but bring new life to it.

Going forward I just hope Ireland becomes more creative and more young Irish people are inspired to create new businesses on their own. It's where the future is at.

So many people are fighting to create a better workforce, a better living standard… a better Ireland. 

The help and support is there for you. Grab it. Even if you only have a small idea, but are determined to make it work – just go for it.

Entrepreneurs create businesses, jobs, and growth in Ireland. They are the heroes of our economy.

So g'wan, be a hero.

Unless you've been living under a rock in recent years you'll know that when it comes to the world of fitness, HIIT is where it's at these days.

Hours spent jogging on the treadmill have been replaced by high intensity interval training sessions, and while so many of us consider ourselves converts, it turns out we're not quite as clued up as we think we are.

Creative manager of group fitness at Equinox, Rachel Vaziralli, recently explained that while fitness fanatics are, indeed, lunging, squatting and jumping like good things, they aren't taking the intensity of their regime into account.

With many gym-goers boasting that they can endure 60-minute HIIT sessions, Rachel is here to tell them that if they're still exercising after an hour, they're not working hard enough.

"If you can go longer than 30 minutes, you weren’t actually working hard enough,” she told Well and Good. "The whole point is to push to unsustainable intensities."

In other words, if you put enough effort into your session in the first thirty minutes, there is no need to push past that limit (not lest because you shouldn't be able!)

Commenting on those who supposedly extend HIIT sessions, Rachel insists that there's little to be gained from the endeavour.

"What happens is your body just adjusts, so you hold back on the intensity,” Rachel explains. “You’re spending more time than [necessary] for the same results.”

So, if you're determined to become a HIIT aficionado, it's worth remembering that pushing yourself to the limit in the first 30 minutes is the name of the game.

Anything after that is eating into Netflix time…

Ladies, we officially have a new hero, and he goes by the name Martin Scally.

And believe us, by the time you finish watching his video, you'll have a new hero too.

As part of his campaign to nab the position of SU President for UCC, the student created a Love Actually-inspired video which has everyone here at SHEmazing! HQ falling over themselves this morning.

There are few words which will do this video justice, so we're gonna let the man himself (oh, and Keira Knightley) take it from ehre.

Martin, you have our vote…

With previous winners including Gavin James, Two Door Cinema Club and The Script,  it’s no real surprise music fans are clamouring to attend an event which honours the best and brightest on the Irish music scene this week.

The RTÉ Choice Music Prize, which will be awarded in Vicar St this Thursday, will pay homage to the people which brought us the best Irish Album of the Year along with the Best Irish Song.

Alongside 11 international music industry delegates, the venue will play host to some of our favourite acts including Lisa Hannigan, The Divine Comedy and We Cut Corners.

As there are only a handful of tickets left, we suggest you pick yours up at your local Ticketmaster outlet for a very reasonable €26.50 now.

But listen, if you're not lucky enough to nab yourself a ticket and head along in person, you can still get a slice of the action.

As part of the new partnership with RTÉ, the event will be broadcast live on RTÉ 2fm in a special four-hour extended programme from 7-11pm and on RTÉ2 as part of a special RTÉ Choice MusicPrize TV programme on Saturday  March 18.

Everyone's a winner!

Now, don't get us wrong. We love a good wedding cake. Especially the cakes that come with different flavoured layers. Yum.

But, now that we've come across these particular cakes, we couldn't be more happy. Because… cheese.

Yep, we're major cheese lovers here in Shemazing HQ, and Sheridan's Cheesemongers has made our cheesy delights come true.

The company has started to create wedding cheese cakes, and not only do they look great, they taste pretty fab too.

Sheridan's Facebook page is also full to the brim of happy couples smiling beside their cheese cakes, so it looks like it's a must for any cheese-loving brides out there.

We're not getting married, but this is definitely going in the (nonexistent) wedding plans.
