Let Me Be Your Valentine

I will admit I have always like Valentine's Day, even though we do not mark it in my house anymore. We used to when we first started going out but my husband really hates it "A day created by hallmark" he says. But I say so what! (he does not listen though) just give into the hype. Let it be the occasion when you stop and spend some time together as a couple,especially when you have children as it can be CRAZY. Last year I was pregnant and spent Valentine's Day with my best friend.We went to see Fifty Shades and that could possibly be where I end up this year, unless my Husband has a big change of view on the whole valentine thing.

A little history tip for you. If you're in Dublin City head into Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Whitefriar Street and visit the shrine there dedicated to Saint Valentine and you can also write your wishes to him in a book that is left there. It is a beautiful Church and something different to do.

"This shrine contains the sacred body of Saint Valentinus the Martyr, together with a small vessel tinged with his blood"

So if you are going out for dinner or on a weekend away for the"night of lovers", then have a look at these dresses, if like me you enjoy getting all glammed up when you go out on a special night.

Bellingham Castle Wedding Venue

The Entrance Hello all, this post feature will be the final one for now as part of my wedding venue feature. With this feature the spotlight is on Bellingham Castle which I fell in love with it, of course, each of the venues has charmed me in different ways.

Finally Contouring is getting the push

Anyone else as happy as me to see that contouring is not as popular in the makeup world. I personally could never get used to it. I think it looks amazing in photographers or on a night out when done right. If you prefer a more heavy look. I believe strobing has been around before it was just called highlighting then. So do not be confused!!! For me I prefer a more natural look when it comes to makeup. The whole idea with strobing is that you can see the skin and it is not heavily covered up. I have been using the Mac Strobe Cream for a few months now. You can also strobe with powder. Mary-Loumanizer by the Balm Mac Soft and Gentle What I like about Mac Strobe? It makes the skin look radiant,fresh and healthy (for tired Mammies like me it's a must) It's easily applied. It's a no fuss product, there is no messing with it. It can be worn alone or added after foundation is applied. With some blush you are good to go. ...
