    Home Made: Natural, Organic Body Butter

    21st March 2019 /

    I’ve always had a little interest in essential oils, each one can make you feel a certain way and has a particular purpose. Whether it’s to sterilise a cut or treat a rash, an anti fungal, to calm the nerves or to help you sleep, there’s an essential oil that can benefit almost anything. Fragrance can also trigger strong memories, taking you back to a certain time or place in your mind. This week, I got to meet Benoit Nicol of The Nature of Things Essential Oils. With over two decades of distilling experience and now based at The Chocolate Factory in Dublin, Benoit has produced the most exquisite array…

    Green Angel: 30 Day Seaweed Skincare Challenge.

    5th February 2019 /

    I was recently asked to collaborate with Green Angel seaweed skincare products & The Kilkenny Shop and take part in a 30 day challenge. The mission was to commit to a skincare regime with four gifted products that I would use every day and document the change in my skin. I suffer with sensitive skin, most of us Irish ladies do, our fair skin and our climate mean that we’re always stuck under a heater somewhere and we don’t drink enough water- ok, I speak for myself on that one. I’ve tried putting a jug of water in front of me in the evenings and using a ‘Plant Nanny’ app…

    Wellbeing Week: Ridding The Toxins for Something More Organic

    29th May 2017 /

    I know I’ve written passionately before about harsh chemicals and things like silicone in shampoo, my 5 Steps to heavenly Hair for example. After being further educated on such matters, I realised I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to beauty products that are more harmful than good. I met up with a beauty expert & what she had to say about ingredients like petroleum and Sodium Lauryl Sulphates(SLS) was rather terrifying and had me rifling through my beauty cabinet and filling up a large rubbish bag… Sodium lauryl sulphate , a chemical added to soaps and shampoo’s (to break down molecules & make them lather),…

    Top Tips:5 Steps To Heavenly Hair

    29th March 2017 /

    A majority of people hate something about themselves, be it the colour of their eyes, the shape of their body, we always want what we don’t have, it’s a perfectly natural thing. For those with health issues, it’s often soul destroying when side effects take over too, either way you hair is something you CAN change so make the most of it! I’ve a slightly under-active thyroid so my hair and nails are as brittle as you can imagine! To make matters worse, I’ve been abusing my hair for the last decade, when I got my first straightener, I thought it was the most miraculous thing, it made my hair…

    New Lancôme Juicy Shakers & Sam McCauley’s Launch Party

    23rd March 2016 /

    I know you’ve heard of Lancôme Juicy Tubes, right? They came out in the early ‘Naughties’, each one flavoured to match the colour, the ‘Watermelon’, being my tube of choice. Every Christmas they came in a selection box gift set- now tell me, what girl wouldn’t have been happy to have received one of these? Last week, Lancôme launched the new generation of the Juicy Tube, with a generation obsessed by cocktails, they introduced the ‘Juicy Shaker’, an irresistible range of  14 colours, presented in a mini cocktail shaker. This is not the first cocktail shaker that Lancôme have come out with, the original being a lipstick in a similar…
