Two years ago, we had our first ever afternoon tea to celebrate Mother’s Day and last month, we visited the Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny for the same occasion. Admittedly, we didn’t get off to the best start. Upon arrival, we were informed that another party were at our table so they would have to seat… Continue reading Afternoon Tea at the Lyrath
Last weekend, I put Slimming World aside for a few hours and went for afternoon tea at the Fitzwilliam Hotel. Located just past St. Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, it’s a perfect city centre location which is ideal if you want to indulge in some retail therapy too! Upon arriving at the hotel and walking through the beautifully decorated… Continue reading Afternoon Tea at The Fitzwilliam Hotel
Earlier this month, I went on a mission to find a suitable fragrance to wear to work. I headed straight to Debenham’s and within half an hour, both of my arms had been sprayed to death and I was clutching half a dozen scent strips still without a clue as to what I should get. I liked pretty much everything… Continue reading Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower
Earlier this year, I blogged about my discovery of cleansing balms. I had started using Trilogy Make Up Be Gone and it was a total game-changer. Taking off make-up at the end of the day can be pretty tiresome but this gorgeous little balm made all that so much easier. It also lasted really well as I… Continue reading Clinique Take the Day Off Balm
During the week, we stopped by The Shelbourne hotel for afternoon tea. A visit to this famous five-star hotel had long been on our to-do list so I was delighted to make it there! On arrival, we were welcomed in and seated in the Lord Mayor’s Lounge, a beautiful intimate space with its very own pianist. Afternoon tea… Continue reading Afternoon Tea at The Shelbourne
Believe it or not, it’s been almost two years since The Sims 4 was released. I have to say I’m nowhere near as smitten with this base game as I was with The Sims 2 or 3 but it’s still entertaining enough. An add-on can give the game a whole new lease of life so I’m… Continue reading The Sims 4 Dine Out
Last week, thanks to Penguin Ireland, I won a competition on Twitter to attend an advanced screening of Me Before You. I had only just finished the book so it was perfect timing! It was a pretty good read too so I was looking forward to seeing how it translated to the big screen. The screening took place… Continue reading Me Before You
Since the start of this year, I’ve been experimenting more with make-up than ever before. I’ve been looking at different brands and trying out a few products that I wouldn’t normally choose. When I turned to my fellow bloggers for a little inspiration, I couldn’t help noticing the one item that showed up again and again in… Continue reading My First Mac Lipstick!
I’ve always found that when it comes to make-up, I’m much more likely to buy something different rather than repurchase the same product…I just can’t resist trying something new! Since they’re fairly similar in design and promise, I wanted to compare the two latest additions to my collection. First up is Maybelline Lash Sensational. This has been… Continue reading Maybelline Lash Sensational v L’Oreal False Lash Sculpt
It has barely been a year since I first had afternoon tea and yet just last week; I was indulging again in this experience for the fourth time! Some late night online browsing earlier in the month led me to discover a 2 for 1 voucher for afternoon tea at The Box Tree. Located in Stepaside village in… Continue reading Afternoon Tea at The Box Tree
