Tributes have been paid to two teenage girls who lost their lives last night in a devastating car crash in Co. Monaghan.

The girls, who were aged 16 and 17, were passengers in the car they were travelling in when it crashed on the Clones to Smithborough Road.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident, which happened at around 6:45pm. The driver of the car, a man in his 60s, is in a critical condition at Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

An 18-year-old girl is also in a critical condition in Cavan General Hospital, while an 18-year-old male is being treated for less serious injuries in Cavan.

The identities of the victims have yet to be released to the public.

The teenagers were on their way to attend the class of 2023’s debs celebrations at Largy College in Clones when the crash occurred. The debs ball was cancelled in the wake of the tragic losses, and the school stayed open late last night (July 31) to support the shocked students and families.

Many tributes have begun to pour in, including from the Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the two young girls who have lost their lives and with those who are very seriously injured in hospital, I can just say the entire community…has just been knocked by this. You know, this was a Debs night for Largy College. It should have been a night of celebration, and a kind of coming of age for these young people and it just turned into their families’ worst possible nightmare,” she stated.

Sharon Magennis, the principal of Largy College, has also paid tribute to the two students, writing: “It is with profound sadness and grief that we have learned about the devastating accident that resulted in the untimely and tragic loss of two cherished members of our school community.”

“The other individuals involved in the accident also remain in our thoughts and prayers at this time,” she added.

Commuters are advised to avoid the N54 as Gardaí continue to investigate the accident.

The professional dancer closed off by adding, “A port sits under the skin and the tube goes along my vein to the heart giving safe access for chemo ( I believe, I’m no dr!) Rrrrrrright that’s done! Ps don’t swipe to last slide if squeamish!”.

After having the procedure done, Dowden thanked her fans for their supportive messages and spoke out about what her body has been through in recent times. 

“Thanks for all the comments and messages today! I've sat here tonight and thought wow my body has been through so much in the past 6-7 weeks”, she started.

Serena Williams has revealed the gender of her second child. 

The tennis pro announced she was expecting baby no.2 with her husband Alexis Ohanian back in May while attending The Met Gala and has now revealed the little one’s sex. 

Sharing the exciting news to YouTube, Serena titled the six minute long video, “The BIG REVEAL”, to announce the gender.

Serena and Alexis organised a lavish ‘baby shower-slash-gender reveal’ party with all of their nearest and dearest, ensuring to include their five-year-old Olympia, to discover that they’re having another baby girl!

The extravagant get-together was held outdoors and had plenty of pink and blue decorations to stick to the gender reveal theme. 

A multi-coloured balloon arch that reads, ‘Our Next Great Adventure’, welcomed guests into the event. There were also lots of other colourful balloons, chairs and towels for guests dotted around the venue.

For entertainment, party-goers could enjoy music, dancing and a dunk-tank as they waited for the big moment of the reveal.

There was also a beautiful two-tiered pink and blue cake decorated beautifully with pastel stars, clouds and rainbows.

Before discovering the gender, Serena spoke out about what gender she thinks her little one is in her YouTube video.

“I’m team pink. But I'm a little nervous because I don't have any contingency plan if it turns out to be a boy”.

“I’m very excited. I’m a little nervous and I’m anxious”, the 41-year-old admitted while getting ready for the party. 

When the big moment of finding out if they’re having a boy or a girl came, Alexis had played a trick on Serena. The couple were going to cut into a cake to reveal either pink or blue sponge, but Ohanian wanted to play a prank and decided to get a yellow sponge instead. 

Whispering about his joke to the camera, Alexis said, “So this cake is as basic of a gender reveal idea as I could come up with. Inside… It's yellow! I'm doing this because I want to troll her and Olympia into thinking that this is the reveal of Jelly Bean”.

“She will cut into this cake and probably be disappointed and hopefully appreciate my troll. But, we'll see. I don't know if she's gonna be a professional about it”.

“She might see this cake come out, roll her eyes, and say, ‘This guy had one job and he gave me a goddamn cake gender reveal’. But we'll see. there's a reveal after the reveal”.

After Serena cut the cake to reveal yellow sponge, Alexis unveiled the real way they were finding out their tot’s gender. 

“We are actually going to reveal Jelly Bean’s sex. The way we’re going to do it, though, is with a little style and some spectacular lights. And I need DJ Mike Wise to get us going and draw your attention to the heavens”.

After a stunning drone light display in the sky, ‘It’s a… GIRL’, was lit up in pink to confirm the couple would be parents to another little girl. 

Serena, Alexis and Olympia looked overjoyed as they embraced and celebrated together at the end of the sweet video.

Eavanna Breen is today delighted to announce the launch of the ‘Skinmade X Eavanna Breen Protect and Care SPF 50 Body Oil’, a ground-breaking new addition to her growing line of skin care products in collaboration with the German A.I. led, personalised skincare brand. The innovative body oil offers exceptional sun protection while nourishing and hydrating your skin, ensuring you can enjoy the sun safely with this luxurious product.

The Protect and Care SPF 50 Body Oil has been produced and designed by Skinmade, within the world’s #1 applied science institute in Germany, all with the input, knowledge base and incomparable skincare insights of Ireland’s biggest name in skincare, Eavanna Breen.

Now the second collaboration between the German brand and Eavanna Breen, Eavanna’s primary focus was to create a luxurious body oil that provides broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. With a sun protection factor (SPF) of 50, the new body oil offers an acute level of defence against the sun's damaging effects. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula allows for easy application and quick absorption, leaving your skin feeling silky-smooth and looking radiant.

Speaking at the launch today of the new product, Eavanna Breen, the founder of the Eavanna Breen Laser and Skin Clinic, said:

"The launch of the Skinmade X Eavanna Breen Protect and Care SPF 50 Body Oil represents a significant milestone for my brand. Skinmade and I wanted to create a product that would not only protect our customers' skin from harmful UV rays but also provide a luxurious and enjoyable sun care experience. With its lightweight texture and nourishing formula, I know this producrt achieves just that. It also lasts 8 hours and there is no need to reapply, unlike other sunscreens, unless you have been swimming or sweating a lot”.

“The Protect & Care body oil also contains astaxanthin UVB, the strongest antioxidant in the world which gives the oil its distinct bright red colour. The body oil’s high SPF concentration combined with astaxanthin UVB offers protection from sunburn (erythema formation), premature skin ageing and excessive melanin formation. It also reduces DNA damage (lesions) through broad-spectrum protection.”

Eavanna Breen, the founder of the Eavanna Breen Laser & Skin Clinic
 

Similar to Skinmade's revolutionary sun protection fluid for the face, what sets the Skinmade X Eavanna Breen Body Oil apart is its unique formulation that combines the power of SPF with the nourishing benefits of natural oils. The brand-new Protect and Care Body Oil is made up of the majority of the same ingredients, however, some have been cleverly tweaked to more suit the body. Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil and glycine max soybean oil have both been added to offer a huge burst of moisture and protect the skin from drying out. Olive oil is also an invisible shield against the dreaded drying effects of the sun on our skin. Similar to the face oil, the new body oil is also cold pressed made from organically farmed ingredients and sustainably made in Germany.

The Skinmade X Eavanna Breen Protect and Care SPF 50 Body Oil is suitable for all skin types and can be used by individuals of all ages. Whether lounging on the beach, participating in outdoor activities, or simply running errands, this body oil is your perfect sun protection companion. And the best thing about it is that it feels heavenly soft on the skin. No thick paste, no sticking and no dreaded white haze.

For more information about Skinmade X Eavanna Breen Protect and Care SPF 50 Body Oil and the complete range of Skinmade products, please visit www.eavannabreen.ie.

The Skinmade X Eavanna Breen Protect and Care SPF 50 Body Oil is exclusively available from the Eavanna Breen Skin and Laser for €55, available instore and online.

Roman Kemp has addressed rumours surrounding Strictly Come Dancing!

The 30-year-old, who is the son of Spandau Ballet bass player Martin Kemp, has had a skyrocketing career in recent years.

As well as being a radio host and an occasional presenter on BBC’s The One Show, Roman also took part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2021 and finished the series in third place.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Roman Kemp (@romankemp)

Now, as the autumn season looms and a new series of Strictly is almost upon us, speculation has been swirling about which famous faces will be joining this year’s cast.

However, in a recent interview with OK!, Roman admitted that he has hesitations about taking part in the hit BBC dancing show.

“The only way I’d do Strictly is if I was teamed up with Johannes [Radebe],” he confessed. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Roman Kemp (@romankemp)

“I think sometimes the show takes away from the skill of the dancers and it becomes like a soap opera of who’s dating who,” he continued, referring to ongoing rumours of the so-called ‘Strictly Curse’ between previous couples.

“I’d want to be focused on the dancing and enjoying who I’m dancing with, not feeling like, ‘Oh God, is someone going to write a story about me?’ – I would never want that,” Roman explained, before going on to elaborate on why he would want Johannes as a dancing partner. 

“So, if I was teamed up in a same-sex pairing, it would be brilliant because I’d just be focusing on the show,” he noted.

In 2021, Johannes and his co-star John Whaite made Strictly history by being the first all-male same-sex couple to take part in the show. The pair went on to reach the series final, but lost out to former EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice.

This year’s Strictly lineup is expected to be revealed throughout August, with big stars such as TV host Angela Scanlon, Love Island alum Zara McDermott and presenter Les Dennis already rumoured to be taking part.

Home Warranties – Why Buyers Should Carefully Review a Home Warranty Contract

Home warranties provide coverage for appliances and systems in a home that may need service, repair or replacement costs; however, buyers should carefully evaluate any home warranty contracts to make sure they’re getting maximum value from them.

Search for a provider with an unambiguous contract outlining terms, conditions and clauses clearly. Furthermore, look for companies which provide transparent reviews of their plans and services. And you can always check out Georgia home warranties options from Cinch Home Services for extra services.

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind refers to an inner calmness and tranquility free from worry. Home warranties provide this experience by guarding homeowners against costly repair costs.

Home warranties can alleviate much of the anxiety of home ownership by covering expenses resulting from appliance and system breakdowns. Their costs usually run into several hundreds dollars annually and payments should be split either annually or monthly, though homeowners should carefully investigate plans’ costs and exclusions prior to selecting their company.

The best home warranty companies provide various coverage packages tailored to fit various needs and budgets, while also permitting homeowners to customize their package by adding items such as pools and spas, well pumps, or septic systems – which could save homeowners money over time due to limited lifespan of these systems and appliances. Home warranty representatives can explain this further to shoppers while suggesting an ideal policy plan.

Convenience

Home warranties provide homeowners with peace of mind knowing their appliances like kitchen range and systems will be taken care of if they break. For a small monthly or annual premium, homeowners can call up a service company and find an authorised repair person who will come out and repair whatever broke.

Home warranty providers like Priority Home Warranty make finding reliable technicians easier by offering two-step claim processes with 90-day workmanship guarantees, saving home buyers both time and stress when searching online for service providers themselves. They provide peace of mind to both parties – buyers don’t have to search online themselves and pay outrageously priced for unneeded services that might not meet their insurance policy’s deductible!

Home warranties range in terms of cost, coverage limits and exclusions; it’s wise to shop around to compare plans. Some providers may also provide upgrades at an additional fee – the primary goal being peace of mind for both buyers and sellers alike.

Added Value

Consumers may hesitate to purchase home warranties because they believe they can find better offers elsewhere, but should consider the added value that a warranty brings.

Home warranties allow homeowners to focus on the details of purchasing their new house rather than any potential issues that may arise later. They provide peace of mind for first-time buyers who may be unfamiliar with dealing with appliances and systems needing repair.

Homeowners should look for an established provider that is committed to transparency when it comes to coverage terms and service procedures. When reading their contract carefully they can gain an understanding of how much it costs and works. The ideal provider should offer phone numbers and email addresses for filing claims quickly as well as customer satisfaction ratings; additionally they may provide clear breakdowns of standard and optional coverage options which will assist shoppers in choosing an optimal plan for them.

Reliability

Home warranties depend on the reliability of their provider; buyers should do their homework beforehand by conducting background research, reviewing Better Business Bureau complaints against a particular firm and checking state regulator databases before writing any checks to give to an unknown entity.

Buyers should carefully read contracts to identify standard coverage limits, exclusions and service call fees. Most plans don’t cover stand-alone appliances or electrical fans, nor preexisting conditions such as rust or mold damage.

Home warranties provide buyers without an emergency fund with peace of mind that their money will be wisely spent should something break or wear out, providing peace of mind when something needs repairs or maintenance. But homeowners with emergency savings accounts or good credit scores who adhere to an ongoing maintenance schedule might not need such added protection; and such warranties likely aren’t needed on newer properties which already come equipped with manufacturer warranties.

Danielle Armstrong has been opening up about her postpartum body and recovery. 

The former The Only Way is Essex star has been praised for chatting about her body 10 days after giving birth to her second child. 

Danielle welcomed the birth of baby Una earlier this month with her husband Tommy Edney. The couple already share three-year-old Orla together.

In her latest social media post, sharing a snap of herself in her underwear while cradling baby Una to her 1.3M Instagram followers, Danielle has spoken about recovering from her C-section and appreciating her body. 

The 35-year-old wrote, “I dedicate this post to my body. So here I am today 10 days postpartum. I’ve been recovering after having a C – Section and wow I didn’t realise the simple things that I took for granted like getting out of bed, picking up Orla to cuddle her, bending down to pick things up and even putting on my underwear (thankfully my Tom has been amazing)”.

“I look at my body today and I’m celebrating what an amazing job it’s done, growing a tiny human being and going through a big operation to bring life into this world”.

Armstrong went on to say, “I’ve also shared a video with you all to show exactly what a body looks like after pregnancy, as I think it’s important for women to see”.

“When I had Orla I remember thinking why did I still look pregnant for so long after I gave birth & I constantly compared myself to other women that had babies around the same time as me, how can they be back in their skinny jeans and I’m still wearing maternity clothes”.

“I know I’ll get my body back like I did after my first pregnancy, but I’m not putting pressure on myself or comparing myself to others this time. Postpartum body I see you & I appreciate you”, the former reality TV star added.

Fans and social media followers of Danielle’s rushed to the comments to commend her honest observation.

One fan said, “So much love and appreciation for this post. Proud of you, you look beautiful. Normalising all aspects of the wonders of birth x”.

“Love this post. Most of all the honesty shown. Amazing well done love you xx”, penned a second fan. 

A third commented, “Proud of you and everything you’re giving to yourself, baby & all the other new mummies out there .. Super inspiring babe”.
