For the lady who has everything...

The lady who has everything can be hard to shop for at Christmas. But I have an idea for you - whether it be for your bestie, your Sister or that special person in your life... take a trip to the gorgeous Hayfield Manor in Cork City.

A very good friend of mine, Ciara, gave me a voucher recently for afternoon tea & spa treatments at this gorgeous hotel. While I was there I was counting the amount of friends who would love this for a gift! You are in a 5 star hotel, ideally situated in the center of the city but feels like you are in the countryside.

Yes CHEF!

As you know I blog quite a lot about all things beauty & makeup but sometimes I want to share things that you will definitely want to go/see/do. Last night I attended a Cooking Master Class and here's how it went...

I was invited by Head Chef of The Riverside Hotel Killarney, Cyrille Durand to come and join 10 others for a fun night cooking at his kitchen. I called a friend of mine, Aine and we started the night off  at 6pm for some pre drinks at the bar in The Riverside.

Oh Me, Oh My, on a Sunday

Sunday's, in my diary are a relaxing day or a day to catch up with friends. I had arranged to meet my friend Helena last Sunday for a workshop that we had booked weeks ago and Oh My were we blown away...

Last month I had spotted this workshop on Facebook, held in Cork and exactly the kind of thing I'd enjoy. "Oh Me, Oh My DIY" is the creation of three fabulous and creative ladies, Cathy, Jill and Leona. I knew we were in good hands. Cathy runs Turquoise Flamingo, an online shop and loves everything vintage, Leona loves fashion (check out her Instagram here) and is normally found styling or rocking the mic at events and Jill a lady who knows everything to know about floristry plus she runs her own shop Wild Floral Couture. And what's more, these are the three ladies behind Cork's magnificent Le Chat Noir Events -  need I say anymore?
