Recently I was invited by the lovely Singlesara7 to her Launch night ‘Doing it the Forever way’ for her new business venture Forever Living. It was held in the Blind Cobbler in Omagh and we were greeted with bubbling prosecco and cocktails on arrival. There was a fine spread of nibbles covering healthy options to something sweet and savoury nibbles.

Off course knowing Sara there were some great games to get everyone involved in and warmed up (I was feeling very lucky and won two) obviously there was a fine array of the forever living aloe vera products and Sara went over her favourites and explained the benefits of each one.

I re-purchased my Forever aloe vera gel, (that is a firm staple in my morning routine) and was chuffed to bits because I won a lip balm! I like to keep their lip balms handy at ALL times, they’re super handy for cracked or dry lips. especially in this changing weather.

Aaaagh on Wednesday 16th August I had the most amazing time at the INGLOT x Niamh Cleary palette launch in Dublin.
I was invited down by Jane Swarbrigg (she knows who I am. Waaaat) I was sooo thrilled to be invited, as you all know I’m a big INGLOT addict!! And just loooove their eyeshadows so much.

What an eventful journey to Dublin it was, we drove to Portadown and got the train! The sun was splitting the trees when we left Portadown, while on the train I realised I forgot to change into my sparkly shoes before I got on the train. (Sad face) I had planned to do the finishing touches to my makeup on the train, I realised I brought two different eyelashes instead of one pair. (Duuuu Jude) I forgot eyeliner! The list goes on (I also had horrible coffee on the train)

As the train was Coming into Dublin we noticed the dark grey sky and the pelting rain and we laughed nervously, because we were most definitely dressed for the summer weather! And we got SOAKED!! But we were determined not to let it ruin our spirits! We hadn’t a clue how to get from the train station to the venue, eventually we got a bus, and another bus, and nearly died on the second one! It was an interesting ride! We did however meet a lovely lady at the bus stop who told us exactly where to get off the bus!

We arrived at the venue House, and it just looked so cool before we even got in, we walked through a lovely bar/lounge area. Quickly found the toilets to try and salvage our hair and makeup!

We got checked in and received our goodie bags (eeeeee) then we were shown the bar where there was a row of gorgeous looking pink gin and tonics sitting waiting for us!

There had sweeties all around (result) and a candy floss stand! (No guesses where I was found) They also had a team doing hair braids and curls (thankfully I got my hair re curled) and henna by Hanna (I’m obsessed with it) and off course the lovely girlies from INGLOT were on hand showcasing the makeup and sparkles!

I had such a good time, I felt like it was such a relaxed evening and everyone’s style was amazing. I do love checking out everyone’s outfits. And the highlight of my night was definitely meeting Jane and Niamh they’re so friendly and took the tome to talk to everyone!

I knew Niamh’s palette was going to be good but I was more than impressed when I seen it! The colours are an amazing mix and there’s two new colours exclusive to INGLOT Ireland. I was pretty sure it was going to include pinks or purples. And the two shimmery colours I’m obsessed with them and have used them as highlighter!

The pallet retails at €40.00 I think that’s aground £35ish… here’s the link to buy it (I think you should) INGLOT NC Palette

August 30th 2018

Never did I imagine I would be so buzzing after reading a book!
Well at the ripe old age of 29, I’ve only gone and done it! I’ve joined a book club! And I friggin love it!

It’s not just about the books and the reading! It’s about the meeting up with a few girlies and getting a chatter and a fun night out of the house!​
​
Our first book club was held at Julie’s house! And boy was she the hostess with the mostest! On arrival we were all gifted with the cutest little hand made bookmarks by Claire!

Julie had put on a fine spread for us all! She had nibbles, Christ’s and dips and a lovely sparkling prosecco with little strawberries in them (very instagramable).., then she brought out the coffee and cakes! And i’m just obsessed with this little bookmark made by Claire! its sooo cute and such a thoughtfull little gift!​
​
So basically we all have read the book and meet up to discuss. And as you would expect a room of 6 girlies we off course get a little off track! But we did definitely
discuss the book!! It’s quite interesting to see everybody’s views of the book.

Our next book is Eleanor Oliphant is completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
