Can we all agree that when it comes to self-care, very few things can measure up to a long, hot bath…? Add some bath salts – or maybe bubbles, a few candles, a book, a loofah – and man, we are in heaven. It is the perfect way to end a cold winter’s day if […]
Because January can be a long old month. After the longest two years in the history of mankind, it is starting to feel like we are finally on the home stretch with this whole pandemic debacle – and thank God for that. However, it is still winter. And it is still January … and as […]
Less than a week after she was found murdered, Ashling Murphy will be laid to rest this comingTuesday morning. The 23-year-old primary school teacher was killed while out jogging after work on Wednesday afternoon, and while no formal arrests have been made in connection to her murder, the Gardaí has confirmed they are waiting to […]
A calming sanctuary. The start of a new year is the perfect time for a home refresh. But never mind a full redecorating project – because who has the time and money for that – we just want a bit of a revamp for our homes – a fresh, new spring feel. These days, when […]
Perfect for apartment living. Sostrene Grene has quickly become our go-to for beautiful, affordable homeware and interiors. From smart storage and small furniture items, to cute table decor and arts and crafts bits, we love popping in whenever we are near one of their stores across the country. And now the Danish interiors mecca has […]
The go-to WFH hairstyle for so, so many of us. If you have been trying – and failing – to manage the perfect messy bun, this trick is for you (and me – seriously; how do people manage it??) Hairstylist Chris Appleton knows how to do great hair, a fact his client list can attest […]
Please make it happen. If you, like me, spent years following the ups and downs of the glamourous housewives on Wisteria Lane, you might be just as excited as I was at the news that 2022 *might* just be the year when we get to see a reboot of Desperate Housewives. Ten years have passed […]
I am a firm believer that diets are nonsense. Depriving ourselves is not only a surefire way to make sure we start craving that very thing we are avoiding, but also – should how we eat not be more about what goodness we can add to our diets – rather than what we need to […]
We’ve been waiting for this. For those of us following a plant-based diet – or even just those who have signed up to do Veganuary this year – we have been patiently waiting for Krispy Kreme to bring out a vegan version of their delicious doughnuts. And now, it seems our prayers have been answered. […]
Trying to get into the habit of going to bed at a sensible time, but find that you just cannot fall asleep once you get there? We feel you, ladies. It can be hard to switch off and tune out, for sure. We for one are totally on for trying this rather unexpected (and also […]
Look, we love winter as much as the next person. Cosying up in front of the fire, winter walks in the park, making hearty soups and wearing all the snuggle clothes we can lay our hands on. However, when it comes to our skin in the wintertime, and how dry and irritated and tender it […]
Straight out of a fairytale. The Duchess of Cambridge turns 40 today, on January 9, and to commemorate the royal’s milestone birthday, Kensington Palace released three special new portraits of the princess yesterday.
