American woman wins dream cottage in Ireland
For one 29-year-old Irish-American woman, it was definitely the luck of the Irish when she won a traditional stone cottage for the price of a $12 raffle ticket. Marine Corps officer Kathleen Spangler bought three tickets for the draw and then promptly forgot about them, so she was amazed to get a message out of the blue asking, 'By chance did you win a cottage in Ireland?' The picture postcard house, surrounded by wildflowers, was raffled by owner Imelda Collins who was moving to Italy and Kathleen bought the tickets on a whim last December after seeing a post announcing the chance to win the cottage and 1.75 acres of land in County Leitrim. Imelda Collins outside the cottage in Co Leitrim. Pic: Raffall It was a busy year for the mom of three as just two months earlier she had applied for Irish citizenship through lineage on her father's side. Then in February she and husband Michael, also a Marine officer, transferred stations from North Carolina to Dayton Ohio and were preparing for graduate studies, so she never thought of the tickets. 'I completely forgot about it' Kathleen told the New York Times. 'Nobody enters these things really thinking that they're going to win. But there's always a chance, and that's the fun part.' Carrick-on-Shannon – Pic: Getty Images Then last month she got a text from a friend asking if she had won a cottage in Leitrim. His friend had just read an article about the cottage and noticed that the organisers had announced the winner as a Kathleen Spangler. And I said: 'I don't think so but let me check.' Kathleen was flabbergasted when she realised she had won and immediately called her husband who was in a math's class, telling him the amazing news that she had just won a house in Ireland. She told him more about the raffle, but he thought it was a scam, until Kathleen received an email from Imelda Collins, and then they realised it was true. 'It was a great experience to be able to speak directly to her and helped to make it real.' Winning a cottage in Ireland represents something of a homecoming for Kathleen as her grandmother had emigrated from Mayo to the United States, while her great grandfather's family hailed from Sligo, about 12 miles from the cottage. Beautiful summer day at long and sandy Strandhill beach, Sligo bay. With a newborn and two toddlers the Spanglers are now sorting out the legal paperwork. 'My husband and I have talked about someday, where we are out of the military, getting priority overseas and splitting time between there and the United States', she told the New York Times. 'But that was obviously a future goal.'

I'm 42 and was desperate to have a Kris Jenner ‘face lift' but was left with a bumpy, lumpy neck
HER rumoured facelift hit headlines worldwide - with people praising just how flawless the results were. And one person keen to emulate Kris Jenner's new look was Australian model Rebecca Judd. 4 Australian model Rebecca Judd asked her aesthetician for "Kris Jenner's neck without surgery", but ended up with a bumpy, lumpy neck Credit: instagram/rebecca judd 4 The 42-year-old model as she normally looks Credit: Getty 4 Kris Jenner has wowed people with her new look - seen here in March 2024 before undergoing a rumoured face lift Credit: Getty 4 Her face is now flawless, and she looks decades younger than her 69 years Credit: Instagram The 42-year-old asked her clinical specialist Claire McGuinness to "give me Kris Jenner's neck without surgery". However, things didn't appear to have gone quite to plan, judging by Rebecca's In the image, she showed that she'd been left with three lines of raised bumps on her neck. The lumps on her neck under her chin looked to have started healing, with some of them disappearing completely. Read more Surgery stories While the lower lines were still obvious and red. It's not clear exactly what procedure Rebecca had, but Claire's website states that she offers countless facial rejuvenation procedures - from micro-needling to LED light therapy. The picture of Rebecca's bumpy neck went viral on social media, with people taking to the comments section of the posts to weigh in on what treatment Rebecca may have received. "Looks like MicroBotox to me," one wrote. Most read in Fabulous "This pic was probably taken right after and then the bumps go down. "Nothing major that is for sure!" People compare me to Kris Jenner - now she's 'had a facelift', they say we look even more like 'twins' "These are Botox injection bumps and will literally be gone in under 10 minutes," another added. "You all do realise this is probs just polys?" a third asked. "It goes down within half hour - it's a simple easy good little treatment." "This is a Skin Booster, and this is exactly what it should look like post injections," someone else commented. Kris, 69, left fans stunned when she stepped out showcasing her new youthful look, with her rep confirming to Page Six that she underwent aesthetic enhancements from New York plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine. Although it has not been revealed exactly what she had done, many critics have suggested she underwent a deep plane facelift. What is a face lift and how quick is the recovery? A FACE lift (technically called a rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure which tries to reduce visible signs of ageing in the face and neck. The procedure begins with either general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free. The surgeon makes incisions based on the type of face lift. The surgeon lifts the skin and underlying tissues (SMAS layer – superficial musculoaponeurotic system). Fat may be sculpted, removed, or redistributed. The underlying muscle and connective tissues are tightened and repositioned to create a more youthful look. The skin is gently laid back over the newly repositioned contours and incisions are closed with sutures (medical stitch) or skin adhesives. Recovery time varies, but most people return to normal activities within two to four weeks. In an exclusive chat with The U.S. Sun, Dr. Norman Rowe, who did not do Kris's work but specializes in deep plane facelifts, was asked how much her rumoured procedure might have set her back. "It depends on whether or not you're getting it in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Miami or New York or LA," he said. "I mean, it can range from, five figures to six figures."
