The censored New now, Spanish Dream derives A1 results. Wow Smile

Hello Hello Hello,

I must start with apologising 💖 My blog has been delayed due to loosing my images and my initial blog but after many weeks I have managed to salvage almost everything and so please read below and thank you so much for waiting its greatly appreciated (backing up images and files is a must!).

I am excited and delighted writing my blog today. I have made new connections, celebrated my birthday (a milestone of 25 or quarter of a century, everyone is telling me it's not a thing but I can see it catching on) and I have exciting news of travel... So some of you may know from following me on other social media platforms but if not my last blog post had a hint in the title. The rain in Spain and it's rain I do not want to see but Spain I definitely do. I got both as I have just returned from the most amazing event in Madrid with Yotuel_Spain find them on any of the following just click WEBSITE - FACEBOOK - INSTAGRAM. 

Yotuel is Spanish meaning ME YOU HIM which links to the founders and creators of the products Deborah, Beatrice and Jeorge. Yotuel is  a company which focuses on dental health and care resulting in the creation of an amazing range of products. The event was titled " I Love Yotuel" and the entire vibe and atmosphere of the days I was in Madrid and at the event were filled with warm welcomes, happiness and passion (all of the members from the creators to worldwide staff were so nice and helpful). I arrived on Thursday and was collected from Madrid airport and brought to the hotel I would be staying in ( wow for style and comfort on all levels!!). The hotel is one f a branch of NH Collection Find Hotel Here. I settled in and unpacked my room had a massive bathroom with the most amazing selection of toiletries which catered for an indulgent stay with a robe and slippers to pop on also. The toiletries were vitamin infused body wash and shampoo with a deluxe tube of hair mask, a melting hand cream and creamy body lotion (all of these were completely LUSH). I then explored the room which had a king sized bed which was like a hugging cloud and a must for me is good Tea and Coffee facilities of which they had including a Nespresso machine (the essenza mini which looked cool and made amazing coffee !!). All of this included there was a perfect table and comfy chair where I could make notes and blog from which was super convenient (very good for business trips, the best was that if you forgot to bring a travel plug adaptors all sockets in the room contained USB ports to charge all of your devices which took out any of the hassle although I had adaptors I had no worry of needing to wait and could use and charge all my devices at the same time (Life was made 💖).

Hotel of luxury

Aside from the room being fab I had selected all my clothes and beauty regiment with strict precision so as to look my best when I was representing Yotuel Ireland and Swordfish Medical. I must admit was very nervous about meeting the other bloggers from around the world but mostly I was super excited (who wouldn't be !!). We ( myself and my travel buddy Kotrina a technician from Dublin) were  collected from the hotel and brought to TÓTEM where we had an amazing evening of meeting the other bloggers and the creators of Yotuel as well as staff of Youtel all of whom were really nice and so welcoming I never felt out of place once which was great.The general vibe also was how much Ireland is loved over there and across the other countries (Finland, Sweden, Greece, Croatia, Romania, Tunisia, Spain, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Slovakia) which gave everyone a lot to talk about and I met so many amazing bloggers too who were more than happy to share tips with me as a new blogger on the block.

The next day we all met at Clinica Vilaboa where the bloggers would be receiving the whitening treatment. Unfortunately I have braces on and could not have them removed for the procedure so I intend on returning to have it done as I got to see in person how great everyone's smiles were after their treatments and each one of them said that there was no sensitivity at all during or after the whitening. Once I have straighter teeth I really want them to be whiter than white and Yotuel do an amazing job at this 😁. The clinic was fresh and inviting and very interesting to learn that sports stars and the king of Spain have been to the clinic for treatments. The morning was filled with excitement mingling and all things that would not stain, such as white teas, plain coloured biscuits and waters (I could have coffee as I was not being treated) but anyone who had their teeth whitened it is advised to avoid any foods/drinks that may stain a white t-shirt as your teeth will soak in these colourants.

After the treatments I headed back to the hotel to freshen up before heading to the event which took place a few minutes away in Club Financiero Génova on the roof top which had the most amazing views of Madrid and the elevator which was only to get to this place was so cool too. The setup was fantastic and the dream of bloggers with plenty of props to be used during. The pitch of the presentation invoked the love of Spanish lifestyle which encapsulated the audience and radiated passion with great vibes of warmth and welcoming. After the talk we all got a chance to meet more of the staff and other attendees and networked and mingled in the most fun way including photo booths memory walls and magicians with lots of Yotuel merchandise for pictures, after this we said goodbye. Once over we were gifted another bag of goodies (we also received one on our pillow on arrival it was so nice and unexpected) and headed back to the hotel to relax before dinner then it was early to bed as it was an early rise and chauffeured to the airport to head home. A great few days overall great products, great information, great connections and great memories.

I was lucky to receive a full tube of each of the toothpastes to try and I must say I am delighted they consist of four different types;
* Classic: Blue packaging whitening toothpaste ideal for tea,coffee, wine drinkers and smokers.
* Pharma: Gold packaging whitening toothpaste caring for gums tastes like aniseed.
*Bleaching (White & Black packaging): contains cerbamide peroxide (gentle and no sensitivity           bleaching agent) Black is wintergreen flavour and white is snowmint flavour. I personally love the bleaching wintergreen and as a coffee and tea addict I can say my teeth look and feel amazing. No SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) or detergents means no foam which results in better oral care and no blisters (it is very weird the first time there is no foam from a toothpaste 😆but quick to get used to).

Coffee No Problem 😉

Compliments of Yotuel

I was left for a few days with a longing for the Spanish welcoming and city life after arriving home but I am excited to visit Madrid very soon.

Again I apologise for the delay to my blog posting but I am back up and running and will be in full flight from here on out. 

Chat soon 😉

The connection between mainland and the Island

Hey Everyone,

So I am aiming to be much more active in 2017 so as to keep you as up to date as possible when it comes to all of the carry on that I am part of, aiming at beauty and skincare with a hint of lifestyle and travel. I began this blog near the end of 2016 and so far have found the entire experience enthralling. I have spoken to and made friends with so many amazing and genuinely kind people from all over the world it really is fantastic. Today's post is of my travel adventures to all that is the +Maldives, such a beautiful and awe inspiring place where time ceases to exist.

          The island we travelled to was +Meedhupparu Adaaran which is an all inclusive destination resort. The island has beach villas dotted throughout the beaches and tropical trees which just adds to the fantasy that is the get away. To walk around the island it took 20 minutes in total to do a full lap and the entire walk was filled with the sounds of a relaxation CD with birds singing and waves lapping onto the bright white sand (which never heated up to the point of melting your soles, as it reflects the rays unlike darker sands such as those found around Ireland and Europe). To get to the island begins the idea of isolation from the madness of daily routine as a seaplane transports from the capital Malé to the island a total of 45 breath taking minutes. The water is crystal clear with reflections of brightly coloured fish dancing through it. The water is warm just like a bath and filled with coral where it is advised to bring snorkeling gear to spend a piece of each day in exploring all that the islands reefs have to offer from starfish to a rainbowed array of fish to turtles and clams which may contain the pearls of beauty that resemble the island (unknown because these are just to look at never to touch the best way to appreciate nature).

          This trip was as much benefit for the mind and body as it was for the soul, as the sun and the heat did wonders for the mood and allowed you to relax that little bit more also there was a spa within the brush of the island delicately placed with treatment rooms that opened upon a waterfall effect feature wall that ran the length of the spa with a pond at the base where carp congregate to produce the full paradise effect. I would be lying if I said I didn't visit it a couple of times during my stay, and the products were from the spa but they also specialised in +Elemis. The staff in the spa were so pleasant and each of the girls were from Bali which added to the experience of the traditional Balinese massages I got while there. I must say from the facials ad treatments I got personally and the ones my family got using +Elemis I am a firm believer in all that these amazing products can do (if you see a spa or beauticians offering an Elemis anything book yourself in!!! #lovelovelove) I must say almost a month on return and I am still reaping the benefits of all the treatments and prolonging them with the products I purchased while I was there. {I will be back to this amazing place}

          Just a quick tip when travelling I always find that airports are the Best places to discover new beauty and skincare products and also test some products before you buy. I highly recommend going to the shops and applying the testers so travel without makeup if possible ladies. I find it is the ultimate test applying a serum or moisturiser before boarding a plane as it goes through a rigorous test due to humidity and recycled air on the plane to know that when you land if it has helped your skin in anyway. If I find it has done a treat on my return flights I will purchase these products to take home with me and adore. I find this also works for hand lotions and fragrances to fully give it a try before you buy.

          As you can see in the pictures I find that waiting time is not wasting time 😉  I carry a few beauty products with me whenever I am travelling some of them such as +L'Occitane en Provence +Pestle And Mortar, also a hydrating spritz any that suits such as +La Roche-Posay UKI thermal water and my gold collagen eye patches which can be seen below. I used my gold collagen eye patches while siting waiting to board our connecting flight when going on long haul there is no reason to look like you have travelled long haul 😚. I never mind if people look and stare or ask questions as I will always tell them what I'm using and where to get it but also if I feel and look great that's my aim and no one will prevent me from reaching that goal. Love yourself Love your skin because when you glow you win 🌟. 

*to add I have been speaking with a few beauty companies 🙊 {La Rochelle Paris}shhh and received some amazing products to try from cleansers to salves and I have a very exciting skin collaboration with a beautician (more to follow)* 

I will post very soon and as always keep you in the loop ! Don't forget to catch me on   +Instagram {skincaredunnethat} and +Snapchat (skinbydunne).
