Last night, the news arrived that RTÉ are revamping the Angelus.

Instead of the staring into space we have become so used to after fifty years, we are going to be introduced to a series of one minute broadcasts before the Six One news.

Some of the stars of the new Angelus include a baker, a sculptor, and a book binder and restorer from Athlone.

So, gone be with the days of someone in an Aran jumper watching a candle flicker in silence. Perhaps they might give this aspiring musician a second chance.

Spin 1038 asked their Fully Charged listeners to tweet their suggestions for what should feature in the new and improved Angelus. The suggestions were hilarious and #StickItInTheAngelus has been trending for most of the day.

These are just some of the best:

1. The most timely suggestion:

2. Lest we forget:

3. An Irish institution:

4. A great moment in history:

5. Or any of the many instances when Irish horses thought they were people:

6. The glory days of the quiff:

7. The unspoken favourite hobby:

RTÉ Genre Head of Religious Programmes, Roger Childs, said:

“We are delighted to announce the six newly-commissioned films and The People’s Angelus slot on Fridays and hope that the Angelus will continue to afford people of all faiths and none some quiet space in a hectic day-to-day world.”

These days it seems that there is a new beauty trend that we absolutely must try nearly every five seconds.

In case you haven’t noticed, eyebrows are having something of a beauty moment as it is so it is no surprise really then that the latest trend is all about the brows. This time instead of shaping, threading, waxing or even contouring them, people are dyeing them.

We do not mean with the aim of matching our hair colour either. People are dyeing their eyebrows after taking inspiration from the colours of the rainbow.

So think violet, aqua, red and even orange.

A quick scroll through some choice Instagram hashtags will lead you down the most colourful path you will have seen in quite a while.

Blue eyebrows are now on fleek, and we really have no idea whether we love this or not.

Expert colourist Aura Friedman has also pointed out that as your eyebrows are so close to your eyes, naturally, you need to exercise some caution if you decide to take the plunge.

Also, it would probably be best to consult a professional, because there really is no hiding from these bad boys…

From oil-slicked to opal coloured, our hair has been seeing some bizarre trends this tea. It has become very clear that innovative hair colouring is having something of a moment.

Now there is a new application process that is promising to be just as cool as all of the others, maybe even better: hand pressed colour.

Cosmopolitan reports that the trend is designed to create beautiful blended effects much faster than traditional dye. It also looks like a painters dream.

Redken colourist Chiala Marvici explained to the magazine:

"I have a painting in my apartment that a friend did for me a while ago that has a lot of colors on it, and I fell asleep one night and dreamt of all these layers of paint living together on one surface.”

When she woke up, she thought about how beautiful that would be on hair, and she could “translate that vision onto the hair.”

The technique involves the colourist swirling different dyes (in the most random patterns you can imagine) onto a sheet of plexi-glass.

Then they place a section of hair flat on the glass, then they use a blunt knife to press the pattern onto the hair so the colours blend together.

The technique doesn’t actually leave the actual shape of the pattern painted on the glass like actual screen printing, but otherwise it is quite similar. To be honest, with the way beauty trends are escalating these days we would not be surprised if the next step was actually screen printing colour on your hair.

It took us a while to contain ourselves after the ‘King of the Man Bun’ was crowned as superhero doppelgänger Brock O’Hurn, but this latest take on the up-do trend it getting us all worked up again.

Floating around on social media for a while now, #DogBun is probably the cutest fashion statement to be made so in 2015.

People are making loose buns and top knots for their pooches and posting the results on social media.

The results are pretty spectacular, we rounded up just a few of our favourites, after much deliberation mind you.

Obviously no one wants to hurt their pooch in the name of fashion. Something to consider if you want to give the trend a try: your dogs ears shouldn't be tied up with a rubber band for any long periods of time, soft cloth or old school scrunchies should be fine though. Such as what this pup is modelling:

Accessories on point.

If you happened to venture on to Twitter today you might have come across the name Carter Reynolds. Actually, you definitely did because the #RespectForCater hashtag was trending not only in Ireland but around the world.

It has made an awful lot of people wonder, who on earth is Carter Reynolds?

Carter is a 19-year old ‘Vine star’. He’s not the only one, there’s a whole group of people, many of whom are teenagers, who have found worldwide fame using the social media platform Vine.

Carter, for example, has 2.39 million followers on Twitter and 4.3 million followers on Vine, where he shares short video clips with his fans. Such as this:

Now though, Carter has become better known for her personal life than his videos. A month ago there was a video leaked online in which Carter was seen pressuring his then 16-year old girlfriend (also a Vine star) into oral sex.

Carter went on to claim that his iCloud account was hacked and that the happenings in the video were a “misunderstanding”.

He tweeted an apology, but then appeared to take that back as he went into a huge online rant about how his girlfriend had cheated on him. The LiveStream has since been deleted but that didn't stop the drama. 

His followers, and many other Twitter users were naturally upset about the ordeal and he has faced extreme backlash online.

The #RespectForCarter  trend was started this morning by his fans in an attempt to defend him after he was removed from a conference for YouTube and Vine ‘stars’ in California, VidCon.

The hashtag has been met with fierce resistance however, and it doesn’t look like Carter is redeeming himself in the eyes of social media.

People on Instagram are going crazy over the latest hair craze to come along this summer. If you thought nailing that ombré was difficult enough, then you might as well call it quits now.

Dyeing your hair a crazy colour isn't exactly new, Zayn Malik was all over this trend just last week. However, this is high intensity colour burst is a little different, and also a lot more magical.

Taking inspiration from a retro American children's toy (and unicorns, obviously), the rainbow hair style is pretty much a replica of what happens when you pile thousands of grains of coloured sand together in different shaped jars.

The multi-dimensional hues have been spotted on celebs in the past, Kylie Jenner does have a range of hair extensions that offer some pretty highly saturated colour options. Kesha was also famous for sporting a brightly coloured style last year. Now though it's hit Pinterest and Instagram hard.

Rebecca Taylor is the hair stylist who debuted the retro-inspired look on her social media channels, from where it has since taken off. She uses a special in-salon process to ensure the dye doesn't run together and end up a muddy mess. She uses a special technique to achieve that fairytale-type look that is the stuff of Instagram users dreams. To do it, she separates the hair in horizontal zig-zags and colours each of the sections a different shade to get the sand art effect spot on.

Sounds challenging, but the outcome is obviously worth it for fans of the sand art trend as they can't stop posting their colourful selfies online.

It's dramatic, daring and looks like it requires some dedication, it also reminds us of My Little Ponies and their fabulous technicolour manes.

What with the assortment of rainbow locks popping up all over our social media feeds, it looks like this could be a style we see floating around the many many festivals to come this summer season,

Just in time for summer, Britney has got herself a new look… and we have to say we love it!

She posted a photo of her brand-new hairstyle with the caption “my new haircut” – and fans are going crazy for her shorter locks ever since.

 

My new haircut! ✂️

Britney showcased the look while out and about shopping in LA earlier this week. She looked in great shape in a short black playsuit and wedges, showing off her long tanned legs.

Her hair is no longer long flowing and blonde, but now short with an added fringe.

Right now, Britney is taking a break from performing in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. She is reported to be spending the majority of the summer season with her two kids.

There's also quality time with boyfriend, Charlie Ebersol, whom she is clearly head-over-heels for "he's really hot, too," Britney admitted. "Adorably hot." (awww

In an interview with People, the singer confessed that the 32-year-old is "refreshing to be around and really lighthearted." It also doesn't help that he's easy on the eyes.

Everything seems to be on track for the 33-year-old, and we think this hair make-over could encourage a few other celebs to do the same. After all, Britney's tresses have been the beginning of counrless trends in the Nineties and early 2000s.

Here's some of our fave…

When the star released her video for Hit Me Baby One More Time the pigtail-plaits hairstyle swept the globe.

This fringe and long layers look definitely took over from The Rachel in hairdressers worldwide in '99. 

We're fairly sure that Britney was responsible for the choppy layered look epidemic of '01 

There's no doubt that upon seeing this ridiculously long, straight and high pony tail was the moment girls took the iron to their hair in a bid to achieve the same result. 

And it's also possible that Britney was the inspiration for Irish dancing wigs.

There’s a new beauty trend in town – the ‘granny’ hair.

We’ve seen silvery pinks and purples make an appearance but now plain old white-grey is having a serious moment with trendsetters all over Instagram.

The hashtag #GrannyHair has blown up on the photo sharing site and we have to say that some of the ladies can seriously pull off a head of grey hair.

Many celebrities have been trying out the look for a while now – with Nicole Richie, Dascha Polanco and Kelly Osbourne all dying their hair grey. 

Although we’re not so sure that is enough to convince us – after all, we’ll have plenty of time to rock the grey-haired look in a few years…

Would you dye your hair ‘granny’ grey?

We’re no strangers to ‘trendy’ food these days; with things such as quinoa, kale and farro often featuring in recipes and on blogs as the super foods of our time.

Now, there is a new food trend, but it may not be what you’re expecting…

Vice president of culinary and pastry at New York City’s International Culinary Center, Candy Argondizza predicted to ABC News that cauliflower was going to be 2015’s trendy food, saying: “Cauliflower is a really interesting vegetable because it’s extremely versatile and there’s a deepness to the flavour that’s profound.”

Cauliflower already seems to be making an impact this year, with roasting the vegetable as a main dish becoming very popular as well as using pulsed cauliflower as a pizza crust for those who may be intolerant to gluten.

Many people have also started eating cauliflower 'rice' as an alternative to the grain. 

Is it a food trend you will trying?!

Zosia Mamet shocked us all when she chopped her long brown hair right up to her chin and then later dyed it blonde.

Now, the Girls star seems to be attempting to give us a heart attack altogether as she unveiled her new GREY hair at the premier of A Most Violent Year in New York last night.

The new colour appeared to have some purple undertones and while we wanted to love it, we just didn’t. That’s not to say grey can’t work as a dyed hair colour, but it tends to have more of an impact on slightly longer hair.

That said Zosia rarely gets it wrong so we’ll let her have it this time! It's fun to experiment with lots of different hair colours and styles after all!

We're also 100% sure Shoshanna would HATE it.
