Just set and forget. We are obsessed with our slow cookers these days, and, as the weather is showing no sign of heating up anything soon, we have no intention of giving up our winter warmer soup favourites either. If you fancy something really delicious and indulgent this weekend, that pretty much require zero effort […]
Between the work-from-home order and the having zero social life outside the home, these past couple of years has yielded us lots of time on our collective hands. Suddenly, with nothing else going on in our lives, we had time to actually try out all those delicious recipes we kept coming across on Pinterest or […]
For the very first time in 70 years, there will be no IKEA catalogue this year. No print version to casually browse, no digital version to drool over. For true IKEA fans, the end of the catalogue and the annual photo-filled design inspo fest that it provided, well, it feels a little bit sad, I […]

According to the Irish Independent, the collision happened on the N52 slip road in Kells, […]
Bad news if you are looking to buy new furniture this coming year. Been to IKEA lately and found you suddenly seemed to be paying more for stuff? You are not imagining things. The Swedish furniture giant has announced that they have had to increase the average price of products in its Irish stores by […]
Goodbye (and good riddance) to 2021. 2022 is here, and I think I speak for all of us when I say we are so ready for a new year, and what will – hopefully – be the beginning of the end of the whole Covid-19 saga – and the pandemic restrictions we have been living […]
New year, new hair. If you are ready to throw yourself headfirst into 2022 and embrace all the fun and new things, you might be looking to upgrade your hairstyle for the new year too? For a few years now, darker blondes and ‘brondes’ have dominated the style charts, but according to hair stylists, this […]
Your granny will be proud. From chunky cable-knit to dainty ones adorned with floral embroidery and appliqué, cardigans are back with a bang this season – and the more out there, the better, it seems. And honestly – we could not be more excited. Far from your granny’s cardigans, these fun and fashionable knits are […]
I am obsessed with big, bouncy reality-star hair. However, my hair is as straight as it gets. As in – I have never had to straighten my hair – every. It dries dead straight from wet. No wave, no kink – nothing. And so when it comes to getting my lovely, swishy waves, I got […]
