US President Donald Trump has described the Irish as “truly wonderful people” and revealed his intention to visit the island as early as next year.

The leader made the comments during a meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar as part of the Irish government's annual St. Patrick's Day trip.

Speaking to reporters in The Oval Office, he said: “It’s my honour to have the very popular Irish Taoiseach with us.”

When asked if he had any plans to visit Ireland, the president replied: “I will, I love it, I have property there.”

It's understood the two leaders discussed trade, military and cyber issues in a meeting that lasted around 40 minutes.

In the past, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he would raise LGBT rights if the opportunity presented itself in the White House, however, ahead of the meeting today, he said it would not be possible to fit everything in.

Yesterday, senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin released a statement condemning the Taoiseach's decision to extend an invite to President Trump.

We are beyond excited about the Sabrina The Teenage Witch reboot. The spellbinding series was one of our favourite shows back in the 90s.

The new series will be a lot darker than the original show. Taking big inspiration from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics.

The series has cast their Sabrina with Kieran Shipka being confirmed to play Sabrina, and Wonder Woman star Lucy Davis set to star as Aunt Hilda.

Taking on the role of Sabrina’s aunt Zelda is Homeland actress Miranda Otto.

One popular Disney Channel star has been cast as the one and only Harvey Kinkle.

Deadline Hollywood has shared that Ross Lynch has joined the cast. He will play “the prince charming of this dark fairy tale, Harvey is the son of a coal miner, a dreamboat and a dreamer, completely unaware of the dark forces conspiring to keep him and Sabrina apart.”

The dark coming-of-age tale will follow Sabrina as she adapts to life as half-human and half-witch.

Ross Lynch will take over from Nate Richert, who played Harvey in the original 90s series. The actor has big shoes to fill as Harvey won the hearts of millions.

Netflix has ordered two seasons of the untitled Chilling Adventures of Sabrina adaptation, but they have yet to confirm an air date.

OK, let’s be straight. We’re all fecking broke.

From rent, to utilities, to public and private student loans alike, there is simply a lot we have to pay for each month.

Yes, it’s hard. And yes, you will sometimes feel like you need to crawl into a black hole in order to save yourself a few quid.

However, there are some things in life that you should spend your money on. These things will not only enrich your life, but they’ll make you feel a little bit better about yourself too.

1. Treat yo’self

We know, it’s a strange place to start, but the best place to start.

Sometimes, money problems can get us really down, so if you killed it at work this week or did a deadly presentation in college, treat yo’self girl.

Whether it’s buying yourself a new top, or going for a cocktail with your BFF, take some time out to just celebrate you.

2. Education

Yep, you knew this one would come up but honestly, it’s so worth it.

Continuing with your education, whether it’s doing a masters degree, a night-time course, or even schooling yourself with the help of a good book; it’ll all be invaluable if you want to advance your career. And with reputable institutions making it available to pursue Graduate & Post-Graduate Courses online, you’ll be able to save up more than you would if you choose to further your education through traditional college.

Just think, that internship in Paris would be in your pocket after a few French lessons!

3. Your home

Now, we’re not saying splash out on a fancy apartment in the city centre or put down a mortgage on a country house. But putting time and effort (and a bit of moola) into your home will make all the difference.

It’s where you spend your down time, so you need to be happy in it. Buy a few fairy lights, some deliciously-smelling candles, and a cosy blanket to throw over your bed and you’re good to go.

Silk pillowcases FTW.

4. Night out with friends

You might not have expected this one to pop up either, but you know you want it.

If you’ve been saving for a couple of months, then going out was probably off the cards for you. But sometimes, you just need a few drinks with friends to make everything better.

So, dust off that LBD you’ve been dying to wear, grab your heels and head out for a night on the tiles.

5. Good quality food

You might look at this one and think, WTF being broke doesn’t mean I can’t eat, but we’re talking about fresh produce and great quality.

Having a €2 frozen pizza for dinner might seem like you’re saving money, but you’re going to be hungry an hour later and feel stodgy AF too.

So, make sure you’re fuelling yourself with good food that will make you feel healthy and energised every single day.

Spices Avocado and Ingredients on Table

6. Experiences

Whether it’s a concert, a day trip to Glendalough or a weekend in Spain, you get so much more from experiences than material goods.

A trip away will give you memories that will last a lifetime, and you don’t need to break the bank to do so.

Check out Groupon for deals, or Booking.com for low prices. Ryanair has also recently launched deals on flights and hotels so take a gander over there too.

The internet is a weird place, and stashed among the usual Instagram travel blogs and Boards communities discussing everything from eyelash extensions to gaming are hidden caches of hatred. 

Among these hidden subcommittees is a cohort of men connecting from across the world, and their mutual topic interest is their own 'involuntary celibacy.'

Known as Incels for short, the community members complain of not being able to secure sexual encounters with women, and completely blame 'the way women are these days' for their issues. 

According to Urban Dictionary, the phrase is an 'abbreviated term for the compound 'Involuntary Celibate'.

'In Darwinian terms a person deemed 'least fit to reproduce', manifested in social terms as someone unable to copulate due to the absence of even a single willing partner.'

'More typically male than female. Hangs around on internet forums generally blaming females for this undesirable condition.'

Many Incels see women as a societal scourge, and refer to them as 'femoids' in a bid to objectify and dehumanise them. 

Their twisted view portrays women as mere sex objects who simply are not doing their job within society for forcing celibacy on community members. 

Basically, the communities are made up of men who can't secure consenting sexual encounters or develop meaningful relationships, and boy are they bitter about it. 

 

A post shared by @siting.here.alone on

Incels feel that women are self-absorbed, selfish and stupid, and that they are driven to relationships based purely on looks or means alone. 

Referring to attractive women as 'Staceys' and attractive men as 'Chads' they mock and share 'real life' stories of their experiences with women, and wallow in self pity about their lack of sexual experience. 

They often glorify frustration-oriented murderers, such as American rampage killer Elliot Roger, who went on a mass shooting spree in California in 2014 after despising the way he was treated by women. 

Dubbing him 'Saint Elliot,' some Incels relate to his actions. 

The disturbed community once held court in a busy Reddit forum where they openly discussed their feelings about women, but the forum has since been removed. 

In it's place, 'Incel Tears' has arisen, a place where posts made by Incels are debated. The original community is also moving into the YouTube space, creating videos about the Incel way of life.

Incel community is one which is seeped in dangerous misogyny, and unlike many dark corners of the internet, it's coming to light thanks to the Reddit ban.

At a time where we can easily replicate animal skins and furs without harming animals, the question still lingers as to why high-end fashion brands would choose to contribute to a cruel industry like fur farming. 

Luckily, it seems that the tides of change are turning, with brands like Gucci and Michael Kors recently pledging to ditch fur. 

Now, haute couture house Versace is following suit. 

Today, head designer Donatella Versace announced that the coveted brand is losing their misguided love of fur, and is going fur free. 

Speaking in an interview, she said: 'Fur? I am out of that.

'I don’t want to kill animals to make fashion. It doesn’t feel right,' she told The Economist's 1843magazine.

 

A post shared by Versace (@versace) on

Previously, Versace has included fur in many of its high-end designs. 

'I think it’s the responsibility of a designer to try to break rules and cross barriers,' Donatella said, in a previous Instagram caption. 

Here's to a more ethical future for the fashion brand.

Ladies, Chip Cup mayhem is about to recommence. 

One of Beauty and the Beast's most beloved characters has been immortalised by Penneys over the last year, in the form of ceramic mugs, backpack, and the coveted chip cup purse. 

Now, Penneys is treating us to a new style of Chip Cup, and it's the cutest one yet. 

Image result for chip beauty and the beast

 Disney fans will recall the heart-warming scene in Beauty and the Beast, in which Chip shows Belle his party trick, blowing bubbles in the tea he is holding. 

The new Chip cup portrays that scene, and after Disney fans stormed Penneys stores last year to procure the original cup, we're sure this one will be just as much of a sell-out. 

The Chip Bubble mug is going for €6.00 in Penneys stores, and is available right now. 

Along with Chip, you can also pick up his Mum Mrs. Potts to keep him company.

Ah sisters, one minute you're fighting about who stole whose lipstick and the next you're best friends. 

Well not only does having a sister give you access to a whole other wardrobe, but it's also been proven to make you a better, kinder person. 

Makes all that stealing and beheading of Barbie dolls feel worth it. 

Researchers at the Brigham Young University have found that having a sister helps you to develop social skills like communication, compromise and negotiation.

Head researcher, Alex Jensen points out that the presence of sisters eases feelings of being  lonely, unloved, guilty, self-conscious and fearful.”

“What we know suggests that sisters play a role in promoting positive mental health,” Jensen said, speaking to Motherly. “And later in life they often do more to keep families in contact with one another after the parents pass.”

Sisters, according to the research, also promote positive social attributes such as compassion and generosity. 

Even fighting has it's benefits, as leader study author Laura Padilla-Walker shared in an interview. 

•°•✧ Pinterest - @ Tanyacrumlishx•°•✧

"Even if there is a little bit of fighting, as long as they have affection, the positive will win out," she explained. "If siblings get in a fight, they have to regulate emotions. That's an important skill to learn for later in life."

 

It works for boys as well. The study found that men who grow up with sisters tend to be better at communicating with women later in life, and vice versa. 

“Some research suggests that having a sibling who is a different gender from you can be a real benefit in adolescence,” Jensen explains. “Many of those sibling pairs become closer during the teen years because they become good sources of information about the opposite sex.”

Why is this? Girls are more open to communication and positive reinforcement, leading to strong and healthier family bonds. 

So you have a lot to thank your sister for- not just that jumper you stole ages ago (it looks better on you anyway).

So, we love good news, but every so often, it's important that we also share the bad news – we're sorry.

On this rainy hump day, we have learned that the grape harvest has not been remotely prosperous – resulting in a wine shortage. 

According to The Guardian, wine production last year slumped to its lowest level in over 50 years.

The production issues happened because vines in the world's top three wine-producing regions being badly affected by 'freakishly hot and cold weather'.

The areas hit most include those producing Rioja and Prosecco – SAY IT AIN'T SO! 

You know what happens if wine supplies drop? Prices go up.

"Prices for things like pinot grigio or generic Spanish reds will rise by between 10% and 30% and it's a question of how much of that retailers will pass on," claimed Dan Jago, chief executive of high end wine merchant Berry Bros & Rudd.

"Prosecco was very hard hit by frost, so there will be less of it and the price will go up."

I'm nervous.

The Bordeaux region was also hit with adverse weather conditions:

"In Bordeaux the top 150 chateaux have not really been affected but the grand surface – the total acreage of Bordeaux – has been ravaged. The Bordeaux harvest, like the overall harvest across Italy and Spain, has been decimated but it tends to be the more flat lying, higher volume production land that has been hit."

Basically the world is facing its worst harvest since 1961, with production dropping 8 percent – to 247m hectolitres in 2017.

The Guardian says that a hectolitre is the equivalent of 133 standard wine bottles, so if you do the maths (which we didn't FYI), that means a grand total of 2.9 billion fewer bottles.

Holy HECK.
