By now, the snowy miserable weather is an (almost) distant memory.

We're dreaming of sandy beaches, rum cocktails and sun kissed skin.

So, if like us, you have already booked a summer holiday (has to be done), you may want to listen closely. 

Laying under the burning sun is one of the best feelings, but you know what doesn't feel great? Sun burn! 

And while we know that SPF is an absolute necessity, we usually bloody hate putting it on.

However, we have discovered the most delicious range of sun products, that we need to tell you about. 

NUXE sun products will transport you straight to a tropical wonderland with just one sniff – seriously.

The range includes so many wonderful products, so there's something for everyone.

I personally use the 'Milky Spray for face and body' because it has a factor 50, so I won't burn my porcelain skin. 

It's also water resistant and alcohol free, so you don't get that horrid stingy sensation in your eyes when you apply it!

 Its addictive fragrance, a blend of Sweet Orange, Tahitian Gardenia and Vanilla, leaves a unique signature scent on the skin.

Honestly, it is my FAVOURITE sun cream on the market, and I'm not just saying that! 

There are also so many other gorge goodies in the range, from hair sprays and after sun to water scents and self tan.

Every sun-filled box ticked. You're welcome.

The time has come, lads!

Unfortunately we'll be losing an hour of sleep tonight, but, on the other hand, thankfully the daylight hours are getting longer.

Here's to more light in the evenings and hopefully more sun when we're getting up in the morning, too!

Tonight at 1am on Sunday, March 25 the clocks will spring forward to 2am, marking the start of Irish Summer Time.

While your time-keeping devices connected to the Internet will change themselves automatically, be on the lookout for watches, clocks, and other timepieces you'll have to change manually.

We can't have you being late to Sunday brunch, after all!

So… since we are technically losing an hour, does that mean we get to go to bed an hour early? Asking for a friend.

You’d be lying to yourself if you didn’t secretly (or openly) fancy The Weasley twins from Harry Potter.

Fred and George were two loveable rogues, who were always messing and causing trouble.

I was curious to know what they’d been up to since leaving Hogwarts, so I had a little stalk of them.

Well, needless to say, they look totally different.

My main issue with the fact that they are no longer ginger… that really hurt me.

Despite their new brown locks, James and Oliver Phelps look pretty damn well.

Thankfully, they have maintained their cheeky grins and those gorgeous brown eyes, but I will forever mourn their ginger hair-dos.

The twins are now 30, and are set to play Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee in the fantasy movie Jabberwocky Rise.

We are excited to see more from these two gorgeous brunettes!

There is nothing better than shopping online – the ease and convenience of it is second to none. 

And what makes shopping even better is when you discover a cheeky discount code that will save you some cash. 

We have good news in that department.

There is a new and amazing app that is officially taking all the stress out of trawling the Internet for discount codes.  

Honey is an app that will hunt online, looking for all the best discount codes, to ensure that you get the best deal possible.

Yeah, we know, groundbreaking!

What goes on?

All you have to do is download the app on your web browser (we use Google Chrome) and shop as normal.

Once you get to the check out stages of your online purchase, Honey will simply scan the net and apply any discounts that it can find. 

Now obviously there aren't always discount codes available, but if there are, Honey will do all the work for you! 

The app also offers 'money back' when you shop from certain online stores, including Dell, Ray-Ban and Nasty Gal to name a few.

So basically, you'll be paid to shop. 

Holy heck, that's good stuff.

Yesterday was Daffodil Day, an important day where everyone bands together in a fight against cancer.

It seems like an easy way to boast awareness, wearing a bright yellow flower on your coat, right? 

Well as helpful as those donations are to cancer research, we should also be helping ourselves. 

According to Breast Cancer Ireland, 1 in 9 women will develop breast cancer in the course of their lifetime.

This brings us on to the discussion of checking our breasts – has to be done. 

We know we should do it, an a lot of us do, but do we do it correctly? 

Usually I just have a poke around, and decide I'm perfectly fine, and very quickly move on with my life. 

But there is a knack to checking your boobs, a knack we really all need to learn. 

There are 5 simple steps:

1. Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips.

What are you looking for here? If you notice any of the following, you should consider going for a breast screening: Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin, a nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out) or redness, soreness, rash, or swelling. 

2. Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes.

3. While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood).

4. Now, feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Use a circular motion, about the size of a quarter.

Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side, all the way from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.

5.  Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4.

If Instagram is your favourite of all social media channels (same) then you'll want to listen carefully.

Your bio is about to change somewhat, but don't worry, it's in a good way! 

The photo app is now going to allow users to add live hashtags and profile links to their Instagram bio, and we're excited. 

Anyway, we did some research to figure out how to go about adding these groovy new elements to our bios. 

It is in no way difficult, but sometimes it's nice to have a clear explanation:

So as you know, we've always been able to add hashtags and other user names to our bio. But if you wrote, 'I'm a #GirlBoss', up until now, nothing would happen with that hashtag, as they haven't been clickable.

However now, when you add hashtags and profile links to your bio, they act like a live link, so they can be clicked on.

The same has happened with profile names. You can add them now – 'working at @SHEmazing' and the profile will be clickable, so your followers can access the link with ease. 

This small change to bios is pretty groovy, as it is making the App more interactive, and inclusive.

It could get you noticed by groups you want to a part of or allow to connect with people of similar interests. 

So how can you get this in your profile?

Simply tap on Edit Profile and go to your bio section.

When you start to type a # or @, a list of recommended hashtags and accounts will appear. You select the ones you want and then they’re in your profile.

Bish bash bosh.

So we have Internet technology, we can fly all over the world and people have been to space. 

How much more advanced could we possibly get?

WELL, scientists are currently working on creating an ice cream that won't melt. Yes. We know. 

How though?

According to the gorge humans over at Bustle, The American Chemical Society revealed that it's been formulating ice cream that uses cellulose extracted from the stems of banana plants, which are normally thrown discarded after the bananas are cultivated. 

And then what happens?

These tiny little fibres taken from the banana plant are put in small portions of ice cream.  

Apparently, the scientists found promising results, in that the banana-fibre ice creams melted far more slowly than ordinary ones, and they were also more resistant to temperature fluctuations.

Welcome to the fu*king future, ladies.

Important point: no, the ice cream did not have any sort of banana taste (which is a shame in my humble opinion). 

Not only is this excellent news for us a species, but this new type of ice cream is also great for the environment.

The idea is sustainable, due to the fact that the banana plants would otherwise just be thrown in the bin.

ALSO, the ice cream would be massively helpful for human energy consumption, because transporting and storing ice cream takes up a lot of cooling energy. 

Anyway, we're not sure when this kind of ice cream will be rolled out publicly, but we sure are looking forward to the day.

So, the weather is slowly getting better, and sure, there's a grand stretch in the evening.

Typically, this is the time of year where many of use make a little change.

Weather it be a hairstyle, signature scent or even a lipstick colour – Spring is a great opportunity to try something new. 

With that, we noticed that loads of famous faces have been getting the chop lately, and opting for a nineties bob.

We LOVE it. 

Anyway, this kind of haircut is totally synonymous with the glory of the nineties. 

A blunt, short bob, that was rocked by everyone from Drew Barrymore to Winona Rider (usually paired with a choker and some form of velvet).

There are a number of ladies giving this chop a go, and we applaud their boldness.

I genuinely wish on a daily basis I had a face that could pull of a bob, but lord in heaven I do not. 

You know who does though? These fine females:

If you grew up in the town that was famously home to Arthur Guinness's first brewery, you'll know Leixlip is chock-full of its very own quirks, traditions and iconic establishments.

While a lot has changed over the course of two decades, there are some things which will definitely resonate with anyone who grew up in the town throughout the 90s and noughties.

And here are just 12…

1. To outsiders, the smell at the bridge was nothing short of eye watering. To you, it (tragically) symbolised home.

"Don't mind the stank.They're working on it."

2. Stepping foot over the threshold of John Paul's back in the 90s meant the summer was officially over, and a new school year beckoned.

"Mam, I want an elastic tie so I can do the elephant."

3. The Obelisk was haunted; no ifs, ands or buts.

"Dare you to walk around it three times at midnight, ya chicken sh*t."

4. Jungle World was your only man for birthday parties and half-day celebrations.

"Race ya down the Freefall."

5. There are certain songs which will always remind you of nights down the Ozone.

"Sean Paul and Blu Cantrell…"

6. Chanting 'Hiller, Hiller, scum, scum' constituted a good night if you were a 14-year-old Farender.

"Sketch, they heard us."

7. Chasing people who called you 'Hiller Hiller, scum, scum' constituted a good night if you were a 14-year-old Hiller.

"That's it. Get 'em."

8. You spent two hours hanging around outside Sam's after the Ozone in order to see if there were any gaf parties happening.

"Your man said there was something happening in Castletown. Get in that taxi."

9. Lucey's and Smaller's were the places to go if you had 10p to your name, and a craving for pure sugar.

"This is the fifth time we've been in here today."

10. Growing up in the birthplace of Guinness was your claim to fame on every holiday you ever went on.

"Sure, my dad invented it."

11. You used get a secret kick when Intel and Hewlett Packard featured on the news.

"Look! RTÉ is in Leixlip! In LEIXLIP!"

12. The Leixlip Festival was the highlight of your year at one point.

"I've been drinking for three days straight, and I can't find my way home."

We can hardly think of something more annoying than having to spend 3 euros for a bottle of water and 5 euros for a dry muffin or an energy ball in the airport. 

If you only do it once in a while, it's fine obviously, but for those who tend to stop in petrol stations or cafes on a daily basis, the bill can become outrageous at the end of the month.

Of course, fruits such as apples and bananas are a great option for snacks on the go as they are cheap, nutritious and easy to carry around, but sometimes, it's not enough to satisfy our sweet tooth… 

Because we know you prefer to spend your money on nice dinners out, makeup or trips with your friends, we have gathered some easy, tasty and healthy snack recipes you can make at home and keep in your bag for when you are feeling a bit peckish.

1. Apple pie energy bites

2. Mocha no-bake cookies

3. Three-ingredient no-bake peanut butter oat squares

4. Chocolate oatmeal cupcakes to-go

5. Almond butter granola bars

6. Hazelnut and goji oat bars

7. Blueberry banana muffins

8. Tropical white chocolate energy bars

9. Healthy raspberry lemon mini muffins

10. Key lime pie energy bites

If you are looking for the perfect getaway, then you have come to the right place. 

There's a Harry Potter themed hotel in a Georgian House in London, and the kids will LOVE it. 

The hotel rooms are not cheap, but you can't really put a price on pure happiness.

A family room (Wizard Chambers) costs £309 per night and a double room (Enchanted Chambers) costs £239 per night, but seriously, it will be worth  

The hotel is in a 19th Century building with winding corridors, loads of stairs, and some secret passages and doors. 

According to the hotel's website, the family room is "created to conjure a mysterious and gothic feel, each room features faux castle details such as stained glass windows, stone walls, archways, trunks, cauldrons, four-poster beds hung with velvet curtains and an abundance of other curious artefacts."

The description continues, with "wood burning stoves, cauldrons in fireplaces and tapestries complete the look."

We reckon this would be the BEST weekend away ever, and you'll even get a free (award-winning) breakfast.
