Come Diet With Me
by JOANNE DELANEY Well
what a
for six didn’t she? I’m hoping everyone is doing well and managed to get through the turmoil, I don’t know about you, but I was very much un- prepared! While living in Youghal
week, Ophelia really knocked us
by the sea in the summer is amazing, living there when
you get hit by a huge storm is absolutely frightening. Trying to diet through
a storm... well let’s just say that’s not going to work. Don’t get me wrong, I
prepared my food and had them ready in the fridge to heat up in microwave, with the force of the storm
it knocked so many trees over
they dragged
the
power cables with them leaving us with no power for almost 30 hours. And of course when you
have no power, you also have no Wi-Fi... This was not good at all. So you think, hey I’ll
light a fire, keep us nice and toasty... But no! The fire brigade told us not to
products! The active rosehip day
cream is my absolute fa- vourite of them all. Enhanced with hyalu-
ronic acid, this anti-ageing formula is enriched with Omega rich plant oils, re- generating vitamins, and fragrant oils of lemon & lavender to help leave skin plumped,
protected and
Kind Kinvara SMELLING WONDERFUL!

Made sent me this

candle to try out a few weeks ago, I’m only get- ting to write about it now because it’s only just fin- ished! WOW OH WOW the

try this at home, I can only imagine how relax-

candle, and it’s some- thing I will very much en- joy purchasing for home!
the rather wonderful work of Orla Kiely, whose trade- mark
prints have graced
everything from handbags to tea caddys (the designer collaborated with Bewleys a few years ago) to cars (a collaboration with Citroen). But now the London-based Irish
about to become a whole lot more
designer’s work is accessible,
with
the news she is to launch an exclusive range of beauty products with Boots. The
range, which in-
cludes soaps, hand and body cream and a body spray, is beautifully packaged in petal shaped bottles with a custom-designed print by Orla – the perfect way of introducing some design- er style to your bathroom. When nestled together, the bottles combine to create an eye-catching flower shape. There’s a choice
of two
fragrances – Sage Lavender in cool lilac and green, or Orange Caraway in bright
blues and oranges. ‘The range is completely
natural and also very prac- tical,’ says Orla. The hand- cream, for example, comes in a metal tube so it’s clear how much you have used, and how much is left. The gift
re-usable boxes – ‘they will make great
afterwards,’ she explains. Inspired, as is so much of
her work, by her love of na- ture, she reveals her favour- ite season is Spring. She has also incorporated her fondness for herbs into the product design – ‘I’m a herb rather than a flower per- son,’ she laughs. ‘I’d much rather display a pot of herbs at home, rather than pot plants.’ And she does
– as the
family grow their own herbs for cooking with. So, how does a

busy designer with several projects on the go, as well as her own range of fashion, accessories and homewares, relax – what’s her own beauty treat? ‘I would say a lovely soap or a body spray – those feel like indulgent treats,’ she says with a smile. This Orla Kiely gift
set includes an Orange & Caraway Hand Wash and Hand Lotion to leave your hands feeling soft and smell- ing heavenly.
CONTAINS:
• 1 x 300ml Hand Wash • 1 x 300ml Hand Lotion • And at only €19 it’s a
bargain!!
- Absorbs super fast to a primed matte Finish - Ideal base for make-up - So good it’s actually
light a fire due to gail force winds coming down the chimney... so let’s sum this up...
No electricity, no hot
food, no Wi-Fi, no gas heating, no nire, the worst storm to hit Ireland in years outside our window and our mobile phones were going dead... Something tells me July 2018 is going to be an ex-
ceptionally busy time in the maternity wards across Ireland. I didn’t make it to slim- ming world this week, so I’m not too sure how much I’m down or up... But two nights of takeaway foods are really not helping. This weekend is not looking too good for us ei- ther, as Storm Brian makes his way towards the Irish
shoreline. Let’s just hope he’s no comparison to
people
Ophelia.
Please stay safe out there, wrap up warm and stay in- doors if you can, Three
sadly lost their lives in hurri-
cane Ophelia, our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to their families at this very sad time. Until Next Week x
