This is what happened when a vlogger put on 100 layers of fake tan

What goes on, must come off ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

We’ve all been guilty of going a little bit too far with fake tan at some stage of our lives. You know, that time you left your tan to develop for just a little bit too long or that other time you went two shades darker at the salon. It’s an easy mistake to make.

However, Irish Youtuber, Riyadh K just put on 100 layers of fake tan and we’re having trouble relating to this experience.

We don’t think Rihadh really thought this whole thing through. “I thought of it because all of the people were doing it!” he said. “I literally have a meeting in the morning.”

In case you missed it, Riyadh is just the latest in a string of bloggers to trial 100 layers of something-or-other. First there was 100 layers of foundation, then there was 100 layers of lipstick and who could forget 100 layers of wax. (Spoiler: ripping off 100 layers of wax is uncomfortable, to say the least.)

Basically, Rihadh put his body on the line to show us why 100 layers of fake tan is too many.

It started off quite orange and got much worse… check out the gallery to see more.

According to the internet star, “It burned like hell and took about an hour to wash off.”

And let’s hope that Rihadh managed to scrub all 100 layers off before that early morning business meeting.

It started off quite orange.

And then he got a LOT shinier.

After a few more layers, the fake tan started to drip.

Once we hit the 100 layer mark, we officially reached saturation point.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s marriage pact

New reports suggest Princess Eugenie and her boyfriend Jack Brooksbank have made a pact to get married within the next two years.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank

Last week speculation arose that Princess Eugenie was set to wed her longtime beau.

Now, according to the Mail on Sunday, the wedding is set to happen within the next two years.

They claim, “that Jack has admitted to friends and family that he and Eugenie have made a pact to marry in two years. The agreement was made a fortnight ago, just after Eugenie’s sister Beatrice split up with her boyfriend Dave Clark.”

Jack and Eugenie have been dating for over six years.

The publication goes on to reveal that the club manager, 29, failed to tell his parents the exciting news of his nuptials, with them nearly “choking on their breakfast when they heard it not from him, but on the BBC.”

Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the royal wedding, but a spokesman for Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, denied the report to HELLO!

“The story is not true”, the spokesman said to the publication.

The denial may have something to do with the Duchess’ eldest, Princess Beatrice, just splitting up with her partner-of-ten-years Dave Clark.

Apparently Eugenie is worried about being married before her big sister and now single Princess Beatrice.

One thing is certain, Prince Andrew and Fergie’s youngest is moving to Kensington Palace… And many believe her beau will be heading with her.

According to MoS, Jack is shifting his priorities so that he can spend more time with his princess.

“Jack, who has been a barman and club manager since leaving university, has made another major life decision, promising Eugenie that he will now stop working nights, so the lovebirds can spend more time together,” a source told the British publication.

Rosie O’Donnell shares a sweet snap with estranged daughter Chelsea

One year on from the day she ran away, Chelsea O’Donnell is rebuilding her relationship with her mum.
Rosie O'Donnell

Rosie O’Donnell has taken to Instagram with a sweet tribute to her eldest daughter, one year since she ran away from their family home.

“Chelsea and me – what a difference a year makes #hopelives,” the 54 year old penned alongside a sweet selfie of the two.

The pair are working on mending their rift.

Last year, Rosie and her adopted daughter experienced a very public falling out resulting in the then 17-year-old being reported as missing after fleeing from her New York home.

“She left home with her six month old therapy dog named Bear… Chelsea stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention,” read a post on Rosie’s site at the time.

A representative for the mother-of-five explained in a statement earlier that, “Chelsea, like millions of people, lives with mental illness.”

“It has been a difficult road for Chelsea and her family, and they just want her back safe.”

Chelsea was found by police in her boyfriend Steven Sheerer’s attic.

Police later located the teen in New Jersey at the home of her 26-year-old boyfriend, who had an arrest record that included criminal charges of heroin possession.

Upon safely discovering her missing child, the former View host couldn’t express her gratitude enough.

“Chelsea has been found and is safe in police custody – thank u all for the help and light #missingchildren,” she wrote on Twitter.

Find out more about the mother and daughter’s rocky past in the video player below. Post continues…

But one week later, on Chelsea’s 18th birthday, their relationship took another turn.

After coming of age, the teen decided to move in with her birth mother, Deanna Micoley, who last year controversially reported that the Emmy winner took advantage of her drug addiction when it came to her decision to put Chelsea up for adoption in 1997.

“I believe Rosie O’Donnell knew that I was in no condition to sign away my parental rights to my daughter” she told the National Enquirer, adding that she believed Rosie “stole” her daughter Kayla, which was allegedly her name at the time.

“She did the worst thing one woman can do to another woman — take her child.”

“Chelsea made a decision when she turned 18 that she wanted to go to her birth mother,” Rosie’s publicist told E! News at the time. “This was her choice.”

After a tumultuous period that followed, the pair reunited publicly in June of this year at a charity event hosted by the one and only Fran Drescher.

And now, with the sweet new selfie, it would seem that these two are finally ready to move forward from their rocky past.

One day at a time.

Hot baths just got even better

Love a long soak in a hot bath? Scientists say that it could be as good for you as a 30 minute walk.

Hot baths have been credited with curing a multitude of woes for centuries, and with good reason. A long soak in the suds will sooth tired muscles and leave you feeling relaxed and content.

And now, scientists say that a hot bath can provide some of the health benefits you would normally associate with exercise.

Researchers from Loughborough University in the UK say that having a hot bath could be better at lowering blood sugar than exercising.

The experiment involved 10 sedentary males, who all soaked in a 40˚C bath, while wearing a glucose monitor to record changes in their blood sugar.

On a different day, the participants were asked to cycle for an hour at an intensity that raised their body temperate by 1˚C (matching their body temperature in the bath.)

The results were surprising; when the participants bathed they had, on average, 10 per cent lower peak glucose levels in comparison to the exercise.

Dr Steve Faulkner who led the study says that this is a good development for research into type 2 diabetes.

“The amount our blood sugar rises after a meal is one of the risk markers for things like developing type 2 diabetes, so keeping it down can be good for our health.

“We think the reason is that the bath may encourage the release of heat shock proteins, which may help lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin controlled glucose uptake,” he explains.

In addition to improving blood sugar levels, the study also found that having a long, hot bath could increase calorie burning by 80%.

During the study, the male participants who bathed for an hour burned 126 calories, which is comparable to a 30-minute walk.

Of course, while this is great news for bath lovers, Dr Faulkner says that baths can never take the place of exercise.

“Although these findings are interesting, we would always encourage increased physical activity and exercise as the best way to maintain good health,” he says.

Is there a down side? Well there are probably less risks associated with bathing than traditional exercise. You could slip getting in or out of the bath for example, but you could just as easily slip on wet leaves while jogging round the park.

Perhaps the biggest risks are dropping your book in the water, or becoming a human size prune. A small price to pay for an hour of rest, relaxation and scientifically proven health benefits.

Roxy Jacenko’s classy gesture post-60 Minutes interview

What Roxy Jacenko has done with her 60 Minutes paycheck is one way to shut her cancer critics up.

In Roxy Jacenko’s highly-anticipated and emotional interview with 60 Minutes last night, the Sweaty Betty PR founder opened up about her battle with breast cancer, husband, Oliver Curtis’ insider trading conviction and what she thinks of her critics.

After the interview aired, the mother-of-two took to Instagram to thank 60 Minutes for the opportunity to share her story and gave a shout out to three charities who gave her ”so much advice and assistance”.

As an expression of her gratitude, Roxy donated all proceeds from her interview to Breast Cancer Network Australia, Ovarian Cancer Australia and The Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Cancer Trials Group.

Roxy told the Daily Telegraph that “without funding these nurses would not be so readily available.”

While Roxy didn’t specify how much the sum was, she emphasised that this was her way of “giving back”.

“Knowing I have helped three charities and a hospital with the full proceeds of the interviews, I can go to bed tonight knowing I have done something that will help others and hopefully bring cures to a health issue (cancer) that touches so many and has seen so many wonderful people lost,” she told the Daily Telegraph.

In a chat with Kyle and Jackie O show this morning Jacenko also revealed her main motivations for doing the heartfelt, and at times fiery, Channel 9 interview.

“Probably there were two reasons I did 60 (Minutes). One was because the whole amount went to charity, it went to three different charities for cancer. And the second was to say ‘F-you’,” Jacenko said.

Good for you Roxy.

Rita Wilson shares incredible selfie with Tom Hanks

28 years on and Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks seem as in love as ever!
Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks

You’d be forgiven if you mistook Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson for newlyweds in their latest selfie.

The actress shared an intimate snap of herself and hubby Tom looking every bit as in love as they did on the day they said “I do!”

“I love him,” the 59-year-old penned alongside a sun-kissed snap with her husband.

This isn’t the first time Rita has gushed about her leading man.

On his birthday last month, she professed, “Tom Hanks, the love of my life, my best friend, loving father, kick a– grandfather. We love you!!!”

Tom, 60, who married Rita in 1988, recently chatted about their unbreakable bond.

“I wish there was a secret, you know,” he said back in November. “We just like each other. You start there.”

The pair at their wedding reception in 1988.

Recalling the moment he first met his now-wife, Tom mused to the BBC, “I don’t think I’ll ever be lonely any more… that’s how I felt when I met my wife.”

Echoing that sentiment, the actor also told Entertainment Tonight, “When we first looked at each other there was definitely a kind of, ‘Hey, this is the place!’ I felt that anyway.”

“I think the end result is that we got married for all the right reasons.”

With close to 30 years of marriage under their belts, together Tom and Rita have created a very modern family.

The couple have two sons together, 26-year-old Chester and 20-year-old Truman, while Tom also has two children from his previous marriage to Samantha Lewes, Colin, 38, and Elizabeth, 34.

Watch Tom sing his heart out… Article continues below!

Last year, Rita spoke candidly of how exceptional Tom was during her cancer battle.

“You never know how your spouse is going to react in a situation like this,” she admitted to the New York Times speaking about her double mastectomy.

“I was so amazed, so blown away by the care my husband gave me. It was such a normal, intimate time.”

Byron Bay woman suspected of murder in Bali to be interviewed again today

Byron Bay mother Sara Connor and her British boyfriend to be re-interviewed over murder of a local police officer in Bali.

Authorities in Bali are expected to re-interview Australian woman Sara Connor and her British boyfriend David James Taylor who are both suspects in the murder of a local police officer in Bali.

Denpasar Police Chief Hadi Purnomi told the ABC that blood belonging to one of the two suspects has been discovered at the crime scene.

“From the forensic lab result we found two types of blood on the crime scene: the suspect’s and the victim’s,” he said, without stating which suspect.

“We interrogate them and from what they say there are some statements that are the same and some statements that are not,” he said.

The British suspect, David James Taylor.

The victim, Wayne Sudarsa’s body was found on Kuta Beach in the early hours of Wednesday morning bashed to death with more than 40 wounds which investigators speculate could have been caused by a broken beer bottle.

AAP reports that the British man’s lawyer Haposan Sihombing, who defended Bali Nine member Renae Lawrence, said his client was told by Ms Connor that a “bad cop” tried to sexually assault her on the same beach where the body of a Bali cop she allegedly murdered was found – but is not clear as yet if the “bad cop” was Mr Sudarsa.

The Sydney Morning Herald said that Ms Connor’s lawyer Erwin Siregar also claimed her client has a bite mark on her inner thigh.

According to the ABC, Connor, a 45-year-old mother of two, and Taylor have been charged with murder, assault causing death and group assault.

The AAP earlier reported that Mr Taylor’s lawyer said his client would “tell the whole truth tomorrow”.

Another tragedy for the family of Syrian boy Omran Daqneesh

New development sees the world’s heart break once again for Omran and his family.

It’s the viral video that once again put an innocent face on the relentless carnage of the Syrian war; five-year-old Omran Daqneesh dazed and confused as he was pulled from the rubble of an airstrike in Aleppo.

And the world’s heart breaks again for Omran and his family as it is confirmed his 10-year-old brother Ali died at the weekend due to injuries sustained from that same Russian bombing.

It is believed Ali was out on the street playing when the strike occurred and photo-journalist Mahmoud Raslan, who took the photo of Omran, said his older brother was injured by a collapsed wall.

Kareem Shaheen, a Middle East reporter for The Guardian broke the news on Twitter.

Syrian activist Kenan Rahmani wrote of the boy’s death on a Facebook on Saturday and poignantly said that while Omran became the “global symbol of Aleppo’s suffering” his brother “Ali is the suffering itself”.

Rahmani wrote: “Ali is the suffering itself, that which Omran tried to convey to us. Ali is the utter loss of everything. Ali is Syria as Syrians know it.

“Ali is the reality: that no story in Syria has a happy ending.”

Kim Kardashian’s latest laser treatment is rather unexpected…

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has admitted to getting her hands lasered in a bid to keep them looking young.
Kim Kardashian

First a non-surgical tummy-tuck and now this!

Kim Kardashian has revealed her latest beauty pursuit – laser treatments for her hands.

Over the weekend, the reality star returned from a cheeky girl’s getaway to Punta Mita, Mexico, and just hours later she found herself back in her trusted cosmetic surgeon’s office for a touch up.

“Late night service,” the 35-year-old quipped on Snapchat as she headed to Dr. Simon Ourian’s Epione center in Beverly Hills for a quick “cool laser” session on her hands.

See Kim’s late night cosmetic visit in the video player below! Post continues…

After the midnight procedure, Kim took to the instant photo-sharing app with more details of her latest beauty endeavour.

“Did cool laser on my hands to keep hands looking young!” she gushed adding, “I [love] lasers.”

According to Dr. Ourian’s website, the aim of the up-and-coming procedure is to reduce “visible appearances of ageing on the hands” by the means of modern techniques such as “laser technology to microdermabrasion and chemical peels to injectable fillers.”

That star, who has perfectly lovely-looking hands if you ask us, is a regular at Dr. Ourian’s.

Perhaps the wife of Kanye West was looking to rejuvenate her hands after their exposure to UV rays on her recent vacation to sunny Mexico.

The mother-of-two’s summer getaway was a chance for her to show off her incredible post baby body after months of working out, dieting and a non-surgical tummy tuck.

And now, after dropping over 30 kilograms since the December birth of her second child, Kim has been more than happy to get down to her skivvies and flaunt her svelte new figure.

“Having a positive self-image has always been important to me because it affects so many aspects of my life: my work, my relationship with my husband and my life as a mum,” Kim wrote in a recent blog post.

WATCH: Is this Kim’s raciest Snapchat ever? The reality star showed off her body transformation in a series of sexy posts in the video player below. Post continues…

Opening up about her body’s changes during and after pregnancy, the app entrepreneur continued: “I just wanted to cover up. I wasn’t used to how being pregnant made me feel, and I honestly had a hard time being comfortable with it.”

She was unsure whether she could ever feel like herself again, but with the help of her rapper husband, who she says is both her biggest supporter and toughest critic, she was able to “feel confident about owning all my curves and showing them off.”

Kim flaunts her toned physique while playing in the sand with son Saint.

Finishing on a sweet note, the muma of North, three, and Saint, 8-months, said that despite her pregnancy struggles, it was all worth it for her adorable bubs.

“We all have our hang-ups and things we might want to change, but my curves make me who I am.”

“So I embrace my body and the changes I’ve gone through. If anything, those changes remind me of what I’m able to create with my body: two little angels that I love beyond words.”

The mother-of-two is down to a svelte 54 kilos.
