Image from Kiehl's website Hello all, this post is dedicated to Kiehl's Apothecary Preparations. What is that I hear you ask? Apothecary preparations is a high level of Personalized skincare. It addresses the following skincare concerns: WRINKLE REDUCTION TEXTURE REFINING VISIBLE REDNESS NEUTRALIZING PORE MINIMIZING BRIGHTENING I find the older I get (mid-thirties ouch) the more focused I am on my skin, I have invested in my skincare more than I used to, by adding in some high-end products. I believe in paying for a good serum. Although this product was kindly sent to me to try out, all views expressed are my own. In terms of using Kiehl's, this is my first time to use the brand and I was really intrigued to see what it was like on the skin. Kiehls as a brand has been active since 1851 so I think it's safe to say that they know what they are doing and they know what works. This range takes the brand back to its roots of creating persona...

Hello all, I am back with my Wedding Venue Feature. This time the spotlight is on Roganstown Hotel & Country Club Now this venue is very close to my heart as we had our wedding reception here in 2011. On our wedding day We still go back when we can for dinner or a night away and it still holds the magic of our wedding day. I have included some images of our wedding day in this post so you can get a really good feel of the venue. From our experience, everything was perfect from the planning, food, service and care that both ourselves and our guests received. Arriving on our wedding day  A few weeks ago I headed out to Roganstown for their showcase evening. At a showcase evening, you get to see a venue setup for a wedding. There are no suppliers present at a showcase, you get time to chat with the wedding team in a very relaxed setting. If you fall in love with the venue you can book your wedding date at the showcase...

A few weeks ago I attended the Nivea Cleansing Blue Room event with The Voice UK & Celebrity make-up artist Lauren Murphy. Nivea is one of those household brands, I remember Nivea was always used in our house and when I started using skincare products I used Nivea. With so much noise around skincare and the must have brands, I think we sometimes forget about the classic products that have always been there and which work. At the event, I was reminded of just how good Nivea is. I was treated to a complete personal cleansing experience. It was much needed as I had been working all day so my skin needed to be freshened up. My makeup was removed using products from the Nivea cleanse range, the products felt fresh, soft and light on my skin. With a very gentle smell from them, my makeup was then lightly reapplied and my skin looked very refreshed from it. Getting My Cleanse On Lauren the...

Hello all, are you starting to shop for your summer wardrobe or are you thinking about it? Well, I have some fab inspiration for you from my favourite high street shop, yes it's Penneys.   For my Summer look, I usually go for light trousers, dresses, and plenty of cami/vest tops. Penneys have a great selection in at the moment and they come in every colour. I can never have enough of them and they are very affordable. If you're not a fan of a thin strap then opt for a tee or a vest top with a thicker strap on it. For the changing Irish weather, I go for skinny jeans, kimonos and a light blazer. This fresh collection from Penney's is going have us all dreaming of hotter days and warmer nights. The "High Summer" collection hitting Penneys nationwide looks amazing. You will have noticed that some pieces have hit stores already, the collection is vibrant, fresh, laid back, youthful, chic and very cool. There is an explosion...
