“It’s made by Irish designer Carolyn Donnelly but it’s not at designer prices.

“It’s a very affordable €50, and given that it’s reversible you are really getting two for the price of one.”

The fashion fan said the gilet is ideal for transitional weather.

She said: “It’s made of a lovely lightweight material so it’s a perfect cover up as we transition into Spring.”

The Carolyn Donnelly The Edit Reversible Gilet is available in XS to XL.

Its description reads: “Lightweight reversible gilet with snap buttons and pockets.

“Brought to you by Irish designer Carolyn Donnelly, exclusively for Dunnes Stores.”

Corinna said: “It comes in the colour I have on and also in khaki.

“The lovely crossbody bag I have on is from the same range.”

The matching Carolyn Donnelly The Edit Beige Quilted Bag is just €25.

Its description reads: “Beige quilted bag with black side panels, internal pocket, handles and shoulder strap. Perfect for laptop.”

TikTok can’t get over huge Indiana school with fashion room, auto shop and natatorium

Tamara C. Bean March 28, 2023 March 28, 2023

The size and amenities of an Indiana public high school were shown off in viral TikTok videos, and the internet is amazed.

The Carmel High School DECA club took TikTok viewers on a tour of the school, which offers plenty more than a typical high school.

Their gyms and cafeterias — plural — only touch the surface of what the Indianapolis-area school provides students. If the gyms weren’t enough, they also have their own wrestling room and natatorium, an indoor swimming center.

Carmel High School features a spacious auditorium and modern library, along with a cafe, planetarium and its own TV studio and live radio room.

The tour continued, as viewers got a peek into the school’s auto shop, wood shop and one of their many cooking rooms.

“Might as well be its own city,” one TikTok commenter said.

“This is where movies are filmed,” another said.

The videos captured the attention of TikTok, where they were viewed more than 6 million times. They’ve also circulated on Twitter, with one being watched more than 24 million times as of Wednesday, Feb. 15.

Carmel High School has an high-schools/indiana/districts/carmel-clay-schools/carmel-high-school-7151″ data-ylk=”slk:enrollment of 5,414;elm:context_link;itc:0″ class=”link rapid-noclick-resp”enrollment of 5,414 and is ranked among the top high schools in Indiana, according to U.S. News & World Report.

Carmel is also one of the wealthiest cities in Indiana, with a median household income of $115,109.

The tour was getting some commentators the itch to re-enroll in school.

“I’m 25 and I wanna go here,” one person said.

“Can I attend Carmel High School as a 20-year-old,” one commenter asked.

Who Pays for the Engagement Rings on ‘Love Is Blind’? The Inside Scoop

Tamara C. Bean March 28, 2023 March 28, 2023

Love Is Blind is back for another season with a brand new cast of individuals hoping to meet their perfect romantic match in the Netflix show’s fourth installment.

The show follows a unique format that sees the men and women dating each other in “pods” where they are unable to see the person who they are romantically involved with.

Participants spend ten days in the pods before some choose to get engaged to one of their co-stars. Only then do they meet their fiancé or fiancée in person.

The proposals on the show take place in the pods so the couples do not see each other in person, however, once they do come face to face, whoever proposes presents their new partner with an engagement ring to seal the deal.

As participants live in accommodation attached to the pods during the time before they get engaged, fans have been curious in the past as to how they get a hold of the engagement rings.

Newsweek has everything you need to know about the behind-the-scenes secrets on Love Is Blind, including who provides the engagement rings.

Who Pays for the Engagement Rings?

Ahead of the Love Is Blind Season 3 finale in November 2022, the series creator, and founder of production company Kinetic Content, Chris Coelen, revealed how the engagements work on the show.

Speaking to Newsweek, Coelen confirmed that, as with rings for the weddings on the series, the show’s production team provide the engagement rings.

He explained: “If they get to the point that they want to propose, we will ultimately give them [the rings].

There aren’t many beauty products I buy more than once — it’s rare that something wows me to the point that I can’t live without it. But the Kiehl’s Turmeric Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask blew me away when I tried it in 2016, and I’ve been using it ever since.

My skin can get oily, and I have to be vigilant about keeping sebum and blackheads at bay. From the first use, this face mask;elm:context_link;itc:0″ class=”link “face mask left my skin feeling clean and incredibly soft, evacuating all the excess buildup from my pores. It also gave my face a taut, lifted effect — not tight or uncomfortable, but firm and defined.

It has a satisfyingly thick, putty-like texture that’s dotted with crushed cranberry seeds for manual exfoliation. It doesn’t take much to cover the face, so the product lasts a long time. Sometimes I just apply it to the oilier parts of my face, like the nose, chin, and forehead, or use it as a spot treatment for a stubborn recurring zit or deep blackhead.

It can take awhile, but I like the process and find that the longer I take with it, the better my results are. The turmeric can be messy, so I suggest finishing with a washcloth that isn’t precious, or doing the
