    The Etiquette Of An Afternoon Tea

    26th July 2016 /

    ­If there’s one thing any girlie girl loves, it’s an afternoon tea. There’s something about silver teapots, crisp table linen and teeny tiny cakes that would give Alice in Wonderland a run for her money. But when it comes to the etiquette, how well do you know your stuff? The History If I had a Euro for every time I heard “High Tea”, well, I’d be pretty well off by now. Truth is, a “High Tea” is a completely different thing altogether, back in Victorian times, tea was incredibly expensive, only the elite could afford to drink it as often as they wanted, the lower classes could only afford to…

    Proper Pops: Nutrient Rich, Protein Packed Popped Chips

    25th July 2016 /

    I have posted about my weight loss over the past couple of months, with thanks to my diet of choice, The Dukan. Protein has a huge part to play in my weight loss and when I heard about Proper Pops, I got very excited. There are so many protein products on supermarket shelves at the moment and it’s very easy to be led into thinking that they’re all good for you. A colleague of mine came in to work after her lunch break, she knew I was on a ‘protein diet’ and was beaming because she’d brought in a gorgeous peanut butter bar to show me “Look, you can have…

    Marilyn Monroe: Newbridge ‘Museum Of Style Icons’

    16th July 2016 /

    I love Marilyn Monroe, I have done for as long as I can remember. I’ve even placed my hands in her handprints during a dream-come-true holiday in Hollywood, when I was 20 years old. One of the most memorable exhibitions I had ever seen was in the Max Factor Museum in LA, movie props from different movies and even Marilyn’s own costumes… I thought it was the best thing I had ever seen, until I visited the Newbridge Museum of Style Icons, last week!         Newbridge has a special place in the hearts of Irish people,  from magnificent cutlery jewellery collections, glassware to Christmas decorations.. I used…

    Laduree Dublin: Birthday Celebrations

    11th July 2016 /

    I’ve mentioned Laduree several times on the blog, it’s my guilty pleasure. When they first opened in Brown Thomas’ ‘luxury hall’, right inside the front door, I thought all my Christmases had come at once. Back then I worked as a Visual Merchandiser for Laura Ashley and lived in Galway then, so going back to Dublin, doing hard time, installing a new window scheme and dealing with a chaotic store layout, it was always SUCH a pleasure to nip in to Laduree for some treats for the train journey home, whether it be their sumptuous hot chocolate or their macarons, I felt like a princess on a packed train home…
