This week, I was bowled over by the Mothercare campaign celebrating women and mums around the world. I’ll declare my colours from the start here, I’m a Mothercare ambassador so naturally, I already have a strong affinity and general appreciation for what the retailer does. However, this goes far beyond that and I feel they […]

I don’t think anyone needs convincing that mothers deserve to be spoiled. And spoiled in style. So, my wine of the week is a fitting tribute to all the incredible women out there who deserve something a little bit special this Sunday! Mumm Cordon Rouge is distinctively fresh, fruity and elegant so this is the […]

  Who doesn’t love a good suit? Or a ‘co-ord’ as the new fashion set call it! Whatever you want to refer to it as tailoring has never really been out of fashion and will always be a good investment. The 80’s power-suit is back and whether you want to embrace full ‘Working girl’ a la […]

Who doesn’t want a strong eyebrow game? I long for the kind of brows the original supermodels of the 90’s rocked. I’m talking Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista etc. You know the brows I’m referring to; not the awful drawn-on ones we see everywhere these days but the fuller, natural brow that still had precision […]

Maybe you’re a real romantic at heart and today is one you thoroughly embrace. Or, perhaps today is a gigantic pain in the ass and you think it’s just a consumer-driven trivial interpretation of love day. Regardless, there’s nothing like some rose-colored bubbles to lift even the most cynical of spirits this Valentines… Here’s my wine […]

January was a tough year but we made it! Seriously though, wasn’t January the longest month??? Maybe you’ve just completed ‘dry January’ or maybe you didn’t. Regardless, an oaky, cosy red is on the cards for me this weekend and I’ve called on the experts at O’Briens wines to give me their recommendation for the […]

Old friends, new adventures. We have a holiday fund, my oldest pals and I and we contribute regularly but getaway rarely. So when we do, let’s just say we make it count. And we don’t do it by halves. Why the hell would we? Like so many of you, we’re working Mums so it’s not easy […]

Anyone that knows me will be aware of my love for a good blazer. You may recall my post on ‘trailblazers’ not so long ago and also my fave cream blazer but I’ve found a new hero! As I shuffled through Dundrum town center yesterday with two of my three boys (we were en-route to the cinema […]

If your hair looks good, you can deal with anything. You know that feeling, right? So, this is an honest review of the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer we’ve heard so much fuss about. This is a product that launched over a year ago but the initial buzz and fuss passed me by and here’s why. I […]

Yep, it’s the season for tinsel and tassels and all things sparkly but let’s face it, there’s not much point in spending your hard earned cash on a sparkly number that’ll only work for the next few weeks is there? Nope but don’t get your tinsel in a tangle just yet. I’m suggesting that sequins […]
