Swifties, listen up – Taylor Swift has just announced another re-recording!

After days of speculation by fans, the Enchanted superstar has confirmed that the re-release of her fifth album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), will be available on October 27 – exactly nine years after its original release.

Taylor revealed the exciting news in the early hours of this morning, as she played out the final show of the first leg of ‘The Eras Tour’.

Performing to a sold-out crowd in Los Angeles, the 33-year-old addressed the announcement directly to her fans, as she thanked them for their support.

“The last time that I was so pleasantly surprised by some stuff that you guys did was when I announced that I was going to be re-recording my first six albums,” she explained. 

“Since I was a teenager, I have wanted to own my music, and the way to do it was to re-record my albums and call them ‘Taylor’s Version’,” she continued.

The Grammy-award winner then went on to hint that her fifth re-recording was on the way.

“Now, here we are, on the last night of the US leg of ‘The Eras Tour’, in the eighth month of the year, on the ninth day…” she teased to fans’ screams.

“There’s something that I’ve been planning for a really, really, really, ridiculously, embarrassingly long time,” she hinted. 

“And I think instead of just telling you about it, I think I’ll just show you,” she concluded, before pointing to one of the stadium’s screens which displayed the brand-new 1989 (Taylor’s Version) artwork, as well as the release date.

After confirming the album launch, Taylor then took to social media to showcase her excitement about the unveiling.

“To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind,” she penned. 

Many fans have since been expressing their own delight at the long-awaited news.

“1989 coming to break all streaming records,” one fan joked.

“I love this album! Can’t wait to hear your version!” another added.

If you own a stack of old, worn-out, or out-of-fashion shoes, you can revive them with easy DIY ideas. Think of turning your tired flip-flops into wedgy summer wear or wrapping fabric around your plain boots to match your expensive coat. Whatever shoes you have, you can recycle readily available materials to transform and make them trendy again. Here are six shoe makeover ideas you can try today:

Embellish Your Old Pumps

Did you know you can add sparkle, crystals, or beads to your heels and proudly wear them to a wedding party? The easiest way to do this is by applying glue on the plain areas on your heels. Then, sprinkle the beads or stones on your heels and give them time to stick to the glue. We suggest using multicoloured or black crystals on white or brightly coloured shoes.

Upgrade Your Plain Canvas Slip-On Sneakers

Most canvas sneakers retail in plain colours, making them dull for some people. You can upgrade them by customising their look to reflect a fashion statement. Collect recycled fabric, glue, paintbrush, and shears. Cut the fabric to cover the front panel of the sneakers. Use the paintbrush to distribute the glue on the front panel. Opt for fast-drying glue to get great results. Next, position the fabric diagonally before gluing it down on the shoes. Repeat the process until you cover the entire upper section of the shoes. Use the shears to cut the edges of the fabric.

Dye Your Leather Shoes

Apply leather dye to your shoes to darken or revive their color, eliminate light spots, even out blemishes, or permanently opt for a different shade. You will need quality leather dye, a soft cloth or sponge, a bowl, and water. Start by cleaning your shoes to remove dust, mud, and debris. Next, apply a leather stripper to get rid of polish and finishes. Now rub the leather conditioner to soften the leather and improve its appearance. Apply a thin layer of the leather dye and leave it for at least 30 minutes to dry. Repeat the dye application to build color and achieve the concentration you want. Leave the shoes to dry for another 6 hours allowing the dye to cure. Finally, polish the leather with quality leather cream to rehydrate the material and get them shining again.

Watercolour Your Sneakers

Do you love artwork? If so, use watercolours to paint or draw unique art designs on your sneakers. You can apply as many colours as you like to create a unique aesthetic design. For example, we suggest painting stripes parallel to the shoe’s contours. Ensure you use alternating tape to block colour when painting multicoloured stripes. Likewise, add your name, initials, or unique logo to customise the footwear. Watercolours attain a translucent look that dries fast and is easy to clean. And they are excellent when doing shoe makeovers for kids or any outgoing person.

Create Height Adjustable Leather Boots 

If you own knee-high leather boots, you can slice the leather vertically into two sections up to the ankle level. Then, add a zipper to the cut section and a buckle at the heel area to convert your shoes into height-adjustable boots. Properly wear your adjustable leather boots by unzipping and folding the upper section outwards. Then fasten the clip to hold the upper section down at your desired height. Other makeover ideas for your boots include trimming the upper part to an ankle length and using the cut section to create a matching purse or sling bag.

Add a Neon Trim to Your Sports Shoes

Are you a casual runner and jogger who practices outdoors early in the morning or late in the evening? If so, add a neon trim to your running shoes and lacing to improve visibility. Running on the sidewalk in the dark puts you at risk of collision with cars, cyclists, and other pedestrians. Then, dip your laces in a luminous color. Also, use a paintbrush to apply the bright shade to the trims of your shoes. Alternatively, add a glowing fabric string to the edges of your shoes.

As you decide on the best way to give a second life to your old shoes, keep your DIY simple and affordable by using readily available materials. Check for the latest trends and ensure the makeover makes your shoes fashionable again. And always refer to the shoe user manual to avoid compromising its structural construction.

As August arrives and the summer holidays are coming to an end, many will be eager to give their body and mind some much-needed extra nourishment ahead of the Autumn and Winter months. Cleanmarine Krill Oil is here to help with its concentrated formula which provides all the essential fatty acids required for the normal function of the brain as well as your heart and vision.

With over 97% of the western population deficient in Omega 3 fatty acids 1, which is one of the key nutrients required for a healthy brain, it is very important to ensure we are getting our body’s requirement in other ways. Unlike other Omega-3 sources, krill oil is not only a great natural source of Omega-3, but the nutrients are in addition bound to phospholipids, which ensures effective absorption into the cell membranes and into our bodies.

Much research has been carried out in relation to the benefits of krill oil with some very interesting findings emerging on the topic of brain health;

  • People with higher levels of Omega-3 DHA in their blood are 49% less likely to develop dementia than those with lower levels 2.
  • As much as 60% of our brain weight consists of phospholipids rich in fatty acid Omega-3’s and Choline, and they play a vital role in our cellular function, nerve signalling and cognitive function. Krill oil is naturally rich in vital and brain-supporting nutrients like phospholipids (PC, LPC), Omega-3 EPA & DHA and Choline, therefore nourishing the brain with key nutrients in the exact same form naturally found in the brain, which is a great way to support brain health and function.
  • Emerging evidence indicates that phospholipids contribute to a variety of cognitive processes 3.

Each capsule of Cleanmarine Krill Oil, the highly absorbable form of Omega 3, contains 590mg of concentrated, high strength Omega 3 with Phospholipids now with even higher levels of EPA, DHA, with naturally occurring Choline and Astaxanthin, plus 10μg of vitamin D3, 200% of your RDI.

Cleanmarine Krill Oil (€24.99 RRP for 60 capsules) is available in leading pharmacies and health stores nationwide. For more information on brain health and Cleanmarine Krill Oil log onto www.cleanmarine.ie.

Peter Andre has revealed he’s written and recorded a song with his daughter Princess. 

Peter shares 16-year-old Princess with his ex-wife and glamour model Katie Price. They also share an 18-year-old son named Junior together. 

As Princess prepares to start college, Peter has revealed her singing ability and admitted that he doesn’t want to pressure her to release the song until she’s ready to. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Peter Andre (@peterandre)

Speaking to MailOnline, the Mysterious Girl singer explained, “Princess and I wrote a song about a year and a half ago and it was an amazing song”.

“I was like, ‘When you're ready we will go to the studio and record it’, and so we did and it's a great song. When people hear it they're going to be like, ‘What?’”.

“But she didn't want to do anything with it and I was like, ‘There is no pressure, just leave it there and when you're ready we can do something with it’”.

The 50-year-old went on to explain that he doesn’t want to pressure his children into following in his musical footsteps.

“I think they have enough pressure in the world so let them choose what they want to do”.

“She heard it recently though and was like, ‘Dad I love this track’, and I was like, ‘It's sitting there when you're ready we can revamp it, but there's no pressure’. I want them to choose their path”.

Peter then admitted that he’s ‘so proud’ of Princess for following her dreams to work in the beauty industry. 

“She's about to go to college and she's doing beauty therapy. I'm so proud of her doing beauty and fashion”.

“I'm proud of her because she could have done singing, acting but she wants to do something based on beauty and fashion”.

Andre then added, “Princess is a little sweetheart. I don't even try to give her fashion advice, it would fall on deaf ears”.

“The one thing I do tell her is when she wears just a little bit of makeup like natural she looks so beautiful and I think you can see that. I've also told her it's not about looks, it's how you are around people”.

Irish food brand Nobó, renowned for its plant-based chocolate and ice cream, is delighted to bring its collection of feel-good nut butter and decadent spreads nationwide.

Co-Founder Rachel Nolan said about their spreads, “To us, the best food starts with the best raw ingredients and keeping them as close to how nature intended. We often see sugar, palm oil, or other ingredients added to spreads that we felt didn’t need to be there, so we’ve looked at how we can make nut butters better!”

Nobó’s collection of spreads comprises four delicious flavours:

Roasted Pistachio Caramelly Spread from €7.95

The best-selling Roasted Pistachio Caramelly Spread contains just four ingredients and has been a firm favourite with customers since its launch. It is sweetened with a little unrefined coconut sugar and some extra virgin olive oil to give it a luxuriously luscious, silky texture. It has a deep nuttiness and just-sweet-enough flavour, perfect for adding a little luxury to simple recipes.

Piedmont Hazelnut Chocolate Spread from €7.50

The Piedmont Hazelnut Chocolate Spread is made with 69% Piedmont hazelnuts which are considered the best in the world. They are more flavourful than your average hazelnut, Nocciola Piemonte has a rich, complex flavour, and a light toasting brings out the extraordinary taste and aroma. It contains just four natural ingredients and no refined sugar, unlike many of the other hazelnut chocolate spreads, which have huge amounts of white sugar as their primary ingredient and a much lower percentage of nuts.

Piedmont Hazelnut Drizzle from €6.95

Roasted Almond Butter from €5.95

Nobó’s Piedmont Hazelnut Drizzle and Roasted Almond Butter contain just a single ingredient each, showcasing the delicious natural flavour of the nuts. The nuts are freshly roasted right before they are milled to ensure the best flavour. Nobó uses a specific blending method to ensure a uniquely silky and luxurious texture.

Get creative with Nobó spreads and incorporate them into desserts and smoothies and use them as toppings for everything from ice cream, açai bowls to pancakes.

Here are some of the best ways to enjoy them!

The 100% Piedmont Hazelnut drizzle makes a delicious topping for porridge and yoghurt bowls and works in baking to give a rich hazelnut flavour.

The 100% Roasted Almond Butter is ideal for dunking sliced apple for a snack or for slathering on top of some sourdough toast with sliced banana and cacao nibs/ granola.

The Chocolate Hazelnut Spread works on top of pancakes, rice cakes, or ice cream.

The Pistachio Caramel makes everything taste luxurious. Nobó customers use it as a drizzle on top of porridge, on toast, ice cream, and açai bowls, or even drizzle on top of popcorn for an extra treat or simply enjoy it straight from the spoon!

Nobó spreads, and nut butters are available from Nobó Ranelagh, nobo.ie, and nationwide from all good health food stores, including Evergreen and Nourish, premium grocers such as Avoca and Donnybrook Fair, and many more.

Claire Richards has opened up about her challenging experience with perimenopause. 

The Steps band member has admitted to experiencing ‘extreme symptoms’ and feelings of anxiousness since discovering she is going through perimenopause. 

As she wants to spread awareness and highlight the different symptoms you can have when experiencing perimenopause, the 45-year-old has detailed the battle she’s been having over the last year. 

Revealing she’s been suffering with severe anxiety, night sweats, rage and struggling to leave the house, Claire opened up to OK! in a new interview.

“Around the time I was doing The Masked Singer, I started really noticing symptoms that threw me a little bit. The anxiety while doing that show… I get nervous anyway, but it was off the scale”.

“I was having these really bad palpitations that I’ve never had before – and it was every single day. I would just be sitting in my dressing room and my heart was beating out of my neck”.

Richards went on to speak about other famous faces who highlighted perimenopause to her so she soon learned about what she was going through. 

“At first, I didn’t realise what it was. I feel quite lucky that I’m going through it at a time where it’s being spoken about by other female celebrities who’ve really brought it to the forefront. It’s amazing how little anybody really knows about it”.

The Tragedy singer then admitted her symptoms got so bad that she found it difficult to socialise with loved ones.

“I couldn’t face going out because I was feeling anxious about going out and socialising”.

Since discovering it was perimenopause she was experiencing last August, Claire revealed she’s been on supplements and medicines for only a few weeks. 

“I’ve only been using the medicines and vitamins for six weeks – it took me all that time to do something about it and see somebody. I think we as women need to be armed with information”.

“Some people are like, ‘I’m just going to ride it out’. But you don’t have to. I don’t want to shrivel up and lose all my collagen – I like having plump cheeks, I don’t want my hair to break off”.

Claire candidly added, “There are so many symptoms and I don’t think people realise just how extreme it can get. Don’t just put up with it – because it’s pretty miserable to be honest”.

Chupi is excited to announce their third release of limited-edition grey diamonds. For those seeking a more distinctive take on their forever ring, each of the grey diamonds are hand-chosen and completely unique from stone to stone. Grey diamonds are much-loved for their uniqueness. Like a fingerprint, no two are alike, featuring a galaxy of carbon inclusions and ranging in shades of opalescent white, silky grey, and dark and stormy tones.

As part of this third limited release of these rare gems, Chupi has created three one-of-a-kind designs: the iconic Hero, the Dewlight, and a new Marquise Ring, all set with unique grey diamonds. The one-of-a-kind incarnation of the iconic Hero Ring features an incredibly striking emerald-cut grey diamond, flanked by two classic baguette-cut diamonds. The one-of-a-kind Dewlight Ring has a stunning oval-cut grey diamond as its centrepiece and is carefully faceted to catch the light – reflecting off a solid 14k gold band and six recycled classic diamonds to create a shimmering effect. The glittering marquise-cut grey diamond is highlighted with two classic trillion-cut diamonds. Handcrafted from your choice of yellow or white recycled, carbon-neutral 14k gold, all three of these one-of-a-kind pieces will be uniquely, truly your own.

Sparkle In The Wild
 

In addition to the unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, they have five additional stones available so you can choose your own grey diamond and create a ring that’s entirely unique to you. They offer the option to select any of their loose grey diamonds for placement in one of four iconic Chupi settings: You, Me & Magic, Love Is All, Sparkle in the Wild and Darling in the Wild.

You, Me & Magic
 

Chupi will also be releasing two of their most loved eternity rings set with grey diamonds. Whether you want to pair one with your grey diamond engagement ring or are simply looking for something a little different to mark a significant moment, a grey diamond eternity ring is a perfect choice. The Forever Eternity Ring is set with nine grey diamonds and paired with the Chupi signature hawthorn twig band making it the perfect balance of beauty and strength. The Today Eternity Ring is a delicate eternity ring set with twenty-one small grey diamonds halfway around the band and is a classic addition to any grey lovers jewellery collection.

Love Is All
 

Previously disregarded as imperfect, they embrace the uniqueness of grey diamonds, finding the true beauty in those imperfections. All grey diamonds adhere to the Kimberley Process Certification standards to ensure that they are consciously selected. This dedication to conscious sourcing (and the increasing scarcity of stones that meet Chupi's standards) means they will curate a selection of grey diamonds as and when they source them.

To choose your own stone, setting, and create an engagement ring that’s truly your own, book an appointment with one of Chupi's jewellery consultants.
