This Was Hands Down Our FAVOURITE Thing About 2016 (Hint: It’s AMAZING)

Let's all agree that as far as 2016 is concerned, it was – in many ways – a pretty shitty year. But if we had to pick one thing that despite all the grim and gloom gave this year a little sparkle and magic, it would have to be the unicorns everywhere trend. Yup, that's right. Unless you have been living under a unicorn-proof rock these past 12 months, you will have realized that 2016 was, in fact, colurful AF. I mean; this year saw us embracing pretty much anything rainbow-coloured and unicorn-themed, from hair to hot chocolate, and guess what? We are rooting for this to continue long into 2017 – and then some. Behold, the most magical trend of all. 1. Unicorn Birthday Cake Who in their right mind would want to celebrate their birthdays with anything but a unicorn cake from Dublin bakery Sweet Republic?! 2. Unicorn Hair I mean, who wouldn’t want to look like a real-life version of My Little Pony?
