Introducing the Alprolicious Café, A Breakfast Bar Pop-up to help you own the AM and make every day Alprolicious by having breakfast your way!

Alpro, which has long been a leader in the plant-based revolution are excited to announce the launch of their Alprolicious Café, a pop-up Breakfast Bar which is opening this Thursday the 7th of September.

Open to the public from Thursday afternoon, the pop-up will be serving a free and delicious breakfast from Alpro alongside your favourite coffee. Attendees can experience a breakfast bar packed with Alpro drinks and plant-based alternatives to yogurts, fresh fruit, granola, cereal, plus The Dublin Barista School will be on-hand for any coffee you want. There will also be some tasty treats available made especially for the pop-up from chefs Lili Forberg and Erica Drum.

The pop-up is all about promoting Alpro’s range of delicious and tasty products whilst also empowering consumers to have breakfast their way all day and no matter how you breakfast, Alpro is there to support you.

Stuck in the same routine, day in day out, over a third (34%) of Irish people say they have fallen into bad breakfast habits they simply can’t break away from, with adults eating the same morning meal an average of four days a week – that’s 203 times a year!

But the country has grown tired of starting their mornings the wrong way – with oversleeping (23%), worrying about the day ahead (21%) and skipping breakfast (21%) named as the top morning missteps adults make. So, it’s no surprise 42% of adults want to switch up their morning routine.

Luckily, it seems turning the day on its head can be down to making simple changes, as adults agree tasty, nutritious breakfast options (28%) and not rushing around (27%) are the leading ways they can shake up their normal morning or breakfast routine.

To show people how to own the day, Alpro is hosting a pop-up Breakfast Bar this September for one weekend which will offer a range of delicious and tasty options. The Breakfast Bar is all about empowering consumers to have breakfast their way and to help people understand that however they breakfast, Alpro has delicious products available to start the day in a positive way.

Gillian Furey at Alpro said: “However you breakfast, getting off to the wrong start – whether that’s eating the same mundane breakfast, or consuming negative content online – impacts both our morning, and ability for us to be our best selves from that point on. Switching up your routine and starting the day right with a tasty breakfast and whatever makes you happy can set you up to be your best version of you.”

The pop-up is launching in 56-58 Drury St, Dublin, D02 HT29 on the 7th of September and will be open until Sunday the 10th of September for anyone who is looking for a delicious breakfast throughout their day.

Miley Cyrus has opened up about the end of her marriage to Liam Hemsworth.

The Midnight Sky singer and The Hunger Games actor had an on-off relationship for a decade, but were only married for eight months before deciding to call it quits for good.

In promotion for her new single Used To Be Young, Miley has opened up about the day she knew her marriage to Liam was over.

Recalling the realisation, the 30-year-old confessed that the decision was made on the same day that she made her debut at Glastonbury Festival on June 30, 2019.

“So Glastonbury was in June, which was when the decision had been made that me and Liam’s commitment to be married just really came from – of course, a place of love first, because we’ve been together for 10 years – but also from a place of trauma and just trying to rebuild as quickly as we could,” Miley explained to the camera.

“The day of the show was the day that I had decided that it was no longer going to work in my life to be in that relationship,” the Hannah Montana child star admitted, adding that it was “another moment where the work, the performance, the character came first.”

Following on from the candid reveal, many of Miley’s fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts.

“I like how diplomatically she speaks about her relationship with Liam, like she’s done some incredible healing since then,” one TikTok follower praised.

“An amazing display of growth and maturity and healing,” another added.

Miley and Liam first met and fell in love on the set of The Last Song in 2008. The pair were engaged in 2012 but briefly ended their relationship the following year.

After their reunion in 2015, the former couple chose to tie the knot in December 2018. Their divorce was later finalised in January 2020.

Scarlett described the holiday with her newborn as ‘magical’ in the candid caption of the post, where she opened up about their experience. 

She wrote, “So we made the decision to take Jude on holiday at ten weeks old. He had his 8 week vaccinations, got the go ahead from the GP & we thought let’s do it. This hands down is the best decision I’ve ever made”.

“This has been the greatest week of my life. Holidays are so different when looking after a baby but they’re so magical”.

“Yes we took everything but the kitchen sink & I did my maths wrong and took 2 litres of milk to Newcastle airport in my hand luggage & apparently he doesn’t need 100 nappies on top of 24 swim nappies but we live and learn lol”.

The former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here winner closed off by adding, “Anyone debating whether to take their baby on holiday… do it. I promise it’s worth it”.

Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about the reason behind her recent rush to hospital.

The Kardashians star is currently expecting her fourth child, her first with husband Travis Barker.

Fans were initially alerted to concern on Friday, when Travis’ band Blink-182 announced that they were postponing several of their upcoming tour shows, as the 47-year-old drummer had to fly home for an “urgent family matter”.

Now, a few days on from the emergency, Kourtney has finally broken her silence on the reason why Travis had to rush home to her bedside.

Taking to Instagram last night, the 44-year-old mum shared a black-and-white snap of her husband’s hand holding her own, as she lay in hospital.

“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” Kourtney began her lengthy caption. “I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.”

The mum-of-three then went on to express the fear she felt during her health scare.

“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery,” she admitted. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”

Kourtney concluded her update by writing : “Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”

Following her post, many of Kourtney’s fans have continued to send their well-wishes.

“So glad to hear that you are all okay,” one follower penned.

“So happy you are both okay. How scary,” another replied.

“Sending you light and love always,” a third fan added.

If you’re looking for a hearty and healthy dish which just oozes comfort, then this is the recipe for you!

Fish pie is the perfect way to incorporate more seafood into your diet, especially if you’re not too keen. Not only that, but it’s also a great source of omega three and that essential vitamin D.

We absolutely adore the variety of tasty fish flavours combined with the creamy sauce and mashed potato topping — it really is the ideal midweek meal, especially on a dreary day!

Serves: 5

Prep time: 30 mins

Cook time: 20 mins
Ingredients:

400ml low fat milk

900g potatoes

280g sweetcorn

58g frozen peas

4 sprigs fresh parsley

300g salmon, raw

300g cod, raw

1 tbsp cornflour

1 vegetable stock cube

1 small onion

25g butter

Method:

Preheat the oven to Gas 4/ 180°C.

Boil a large pot of water and cook potatoes until soft, for approx. 15 minutes.

Take the frozen vegetables out of the freezer. While the potatoes are cooking, simmer one cup of the milk in a large pot.

Add onion, season with pepper and add the stock cube.

Cut the fish into 6 pieces, add to the milk mixture and cook on the low heat for about 10 minutes until the fish flakes with a fork.

Remove the fish from the pot (retain this pot and liquid) and place in an 8 x 8 inch ovenproof dish.

Divide the fish into smaller chunks.

Sprinkle parsley over the fish and then add the raw or frozen vegetables.

Add the cornflour, butter and 1/2 cup of milk to the pan in which the fish was cooked. Stir frequently with a whisk and cook on the hob on a low-medium heat for approx. 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Pour the sauce over fish and vegetables.

Drain water from potatoes then add 1/2 cup of milk and butter and mash until smooth.

Spread the mashed potato on top of the fish and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the vegetables are cooked.

Dan Edgar has opened up about his break-up from Amber Turner. 

The Only Way is Essex stars revealed they were going their separate ways back in May after being in a relationship for five years. 

Speaking out about why the couple decided to call it a day, Dan, who has since moved in with TOWIE’s James ‘Arg’ Argent following the break-up, revealed everything ‘wasn’t always rosy behind the scenes’ of their romance.

While chatting to OK!, Dan admitted, “There have been things that haven’t been right for a long time. We tried it and at the end of the day it didn’t work”.

“There were a lot of changes I tried to make – stuff I was making an effort with. It’s easy on the surface to look at things and think, ‘Everything looks fine’, but there was a lot going on behind the scenes”.

“There was no way forward for us. I’m 33 now, it’s not an age where you just see how it goes. Me and Amber have been together and we’ve been on and off”.

He continued, “We’ve tried things and gone through a lot of trials and tribulations over the years. In the end it just hasn’t worked. So, you move on. It’s life. It is what it is”.

Explaining how things have been between him and Amber, the 33-year-old said, “We’ve been amicable so far. I’ve moved out of the house. It’s never easy going through a break-up, especially after five years”.

“We’re at the stage now where we’re talking normally as adults about what we’re doing about it. We have the dog and we were living together – but at the end of day we haven’t got kids. We’re not married. It’s not as messy as it could be”.

“It was not always rosy behind the scenes. There was a lot of trying to make things work. It’s just not meant to be. I’m in a really good place and I’m happy. I assume she is as well. I have my swimwear range launching. I’m looking forward to moving on”.

Addressing cheating allegations, the reality star revealed, “There are always rumours. There have been rumours about me in the past. At the moment Amber has denied [it]. So, what can you say? Our relationship hasn’t come to an end because of rumours about who done what”.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@amberturnerx)

“We both got to the important stage of, ‘Are you going to be the person I marry and have kids with?’. But that was not going to happen with us”.

Dan added, “You can’t waste time at this age. We both realised we weren’t happy regardless of any rumours. You can lie to yourself and keep patching things over but now I’ve come out of it and taken a step back from it. It just wasn’t right”.

Amber first announced that she and Dan’s relationship was over by posting an Instagram Story to her 851K followers that read, “I wasn't going to post anything but due to speculation and questions, I feel like I need to”.

“Yes, me and Dan have split. I honestly wish him the best for the future. Please respect our privacy at this time. Thank you”.

Maura Higgins and Faye Winter have proven that there is no bad blood between them!

The former Love Island stars attended the National Television Awards last night. Faye looked dazzling in a mesh silver dress, while Maura opted for a see-through gown with a beaded strap.

According to The Sun, the two women were videoed backstage during the celebrations, and they ended up having an alleged “bust-up” row. Rumours began to circulate that the argument was caused by Faye throwing her shoes at Maura.

The publication also alleged that Faye and Maura “had to be separated” from one another, and claimed that the stars appeared to have an “ongoing feud.”

Following the reports of their supposed argument, both reality stars have now taken to social media to set the record straight on the incident.

Firstly, Maura, who was a Love Island finalist in 2019 and has recently been working with Love Island USA, chose to re-share the article on her Instagram stories, alongside her thoughts on the matter.

“Borrrringgg!!!! Can’t have a passionate conversation without people videoing and press trying to turn women against one another… ILY @faye__winter no drama here love,” the 32-year-old promised.

A few minutes after Maura’s post, Faye then opted to re-share it and added in her own message.

“I mean she calls me a silly cow most days and she ain’t wrong. and I can confirm no designer shoes were disrespected in the conversation,” she teased.

Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu have opened up about their relationship for the first time!

The former Love Island champions, who won the ITV dating show in 2022, shocked fans in June when they announced their split.

However, just two months later, the reality stars teased that they had rekindled their romance, after they embarked on a holiday to Turkey together for Ekin-Su’s birthday.

Following on from a few weeks of speculation, Ekin-Su and Davide have finally broken their silence on what the nature of their relationship is.

Last night, the pair took to the red carpet of the National Television Awards, during which they were asked if they are back together.

“We’re just enjoying each other’s company,” Davide responded teasingly, adding: “We leave the mysteries.” 

When asked if they are just platonic, Ekin-Su replied: “Leave it to the imagination. You can label it whatever you want to label it. But we are enjoying each other’s company and we’re very happy.”

28-year-old Davide then said: “We say in Italy, ‘If there are roses, they will bloom.'”

Wrapping up the discussion, the Turkish actress explained: “The thing is – a relationship is like a roller coaster, right? A real relationship has ups and downs.”

In his final remarks, Davide noted coyly: “We’re enjoying the roller coaster.”

On June 30, Davide took to social media and shared a statement, announcing that he and Ekin-Su were no longer together.

“I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together and I wish her nothing but the best. I would like for everybody to respect this decision during this difficult time, I will continue to support Ekin in anyway possible,” the Italian model wrote at the time.

The Love Island winners have since enjoyed a lavish holiday together, with both of them choosing to post adorable snaps of themselves together in Turkey.

Brendan Courtney and Focus Ireland ambassadors Kelly Ann Byrne and Stephanie Clarke today launched this year’s Shine A Light sleep out in aid of Focus Ireland.

Taking place on Friday, 13 October, Shine A Light is proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy and calls on people across the country to host a sleep out in their homes, communities or workplaces to help end family homelessness. This year the goal is to raise €1.2m to support the essential work of Focus Ireland.

Bord Gáis Energy’s support of Shine A Light forms part of an ongoing partnership with Focus Ireland which began in 2015. To date it has supported over 7,000 families and directly prevented 458 vulnerable families from becoming homeless. Last year the partnership was extended until 2025 and Bord Gáis Energy has pledged a further €2 million to help tackle family homelessness, bringing its total commitment in funds to €4.4 million.

Demand for Focus Ireland’s services is at an all-time high. There are currently 1,839 families including children in emergency accommodation as of July 2023, an increase of 29% in the last year. The work that Focus Ireland is doing to support families experiencing homeless or as risk of homelessness is vital, but they can’t do it alone and the support of people across the country is essential to create real change.

On the night Brendan will sleep out at his home and will document the experience on his social channels. Other well-known personalities taking part in Shine A Light include broadcaster and writer Louise McSharry, former Tipperary hurler Brendan Maher, farming influencer Katie Gleeson and lifestyle influencer Caroline Mooney.

Signing up to Shine A Light is quick and easy to do. Simply visit shinealight.focusireland.ie to register and select whether you’re sleeping out as an individual or as part of a team. You can then set your fundraising target and a shareable fundraising page will be created for you.

Speaking at the launch of the campaign, Brendan Courtney urged people across the country to join him on Friday, 13 October to help end family homelessness.

“The latest figures show that homelessness profoundly impacts our society. There are thousands of families across Ireland, including children who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes and we need to come together and help combat this issue. By hosting your own sleepout at home, at your workplace, local sports club or community hall, we can raise vital funds for Focus Ireland and prevent more families from becoming homeless. The goal this year is to raise €1.2m and I am urging everyone to sign up and donate to this important cause.”

Speaking on behalf of Focus Ireland, Kelly Ann Byrne said:

“Every night thousands of people are facing the uncertainty and fear of having nowhere to call home. Having experienced firsthand the work of Focus Ireland in supporting families to rebuild their lives, I urge you to gather your friends, family or colleagues and host your own sleep out to raise vital funds for Focus Ireland. With your support, together we can end homelessness.”
