#ICYMI – Our Favourite Stories This Week

Having a lazy Sunday? Kick back, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy Team Her.ie’s favourite reads of the week. Though it’s a tough task, given how many fantastic stories we’ve come across in the past seven days, each of us here at Her.ie have chosen one of our favourite picks from the week, gathered together in one handy collection. Enjoy! ___________________________________ Sue's Choice: A Beautiful Tribute Sue says: Despite the fact that the news of Robin Williams death was one of the most heartbreaking things to happen this year, the tributes that have been paid to the actor have been absolutely lovely. This one from Jimmy Fallon particularly got to me, he could barely get through the first sentence without crying. So incredibly sad. Read the full story here. Cathy's Choice: Smiley Face Cathy says: I'm mad about emojis and can go a little overboard when it comes to using them, particularly when it's something I'm excited about. So when I came across these t-shirts I decided I had to have one. Embarrassed monkeys, love heart smileys and dancing senoritas... what's not to love?! Read the full story here. Rebecca's Choice: Better Call Saul Rebecca says: My favourite story this week was the teaser trailer for Better Call Saul, the spin-off/prequel to Breaking Bad. It wasn't because the trailer was amazing (it was only nine seconds long for goodness sake!) but I am REALLY excited about the prospect of this series and need another television show to get addicted to.

Michelle says: More years have passed than I care to admit since I sat my Leaving Certificate exams, but I remember the results day as clear as if it were yesterday. So, as the class of 2014 picked up their envelopes this week, I really enjoyed penning this piece and indulging in a little trip down memory lane to the before, during and after.

Now she's rumoured to be taking a trip on the boards of Broadway, and if it all comes to plan it'd be the same week I'm visiting the Big Apple. Keeping every finger, toes, arms, body crossed this actually happens. Have you heard her belt out a tune in Easy A? She's awesome. Read the full story here. Marie's Choice: When Paddy Met Steve Marie says: My favourite story this week has to be the tale of poor Steve, who accidentally texted Paddy Power instead of Jess, whom he met in Dicey's the night before. The ensuing banter was nothing short of hilarious and Steve proved to be an absolute legend by taking the eventual reveal in his stride. If you haven't seen this already, take five minutes and have a good giggle. Read the full story here.
