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 😉

 HEY EVERYONE

I hope you are doing well this week 👍 I am currently drinking copious amounts of tea and deciding what to share with all of you lovely people for my future blog posts (any interests you would like to know more about feel free to comment or message me on any of the social media sites). Now we all know I am not a preacher (and there is always a but) but I do love to tell people about skincare, products lotions and potions (because I have an absolute LOVE for all that is pampering). This being said today I am sharing with you my experience of 🌟 DERMAPLANING 🌟.

I was very lucky to be contacted by a really nice lady Sharon O' Sullivan { https://www.facebook.com/beamingwhite.enniscorthy?hc_ref=SEARCH } who is a qualified Aesthetician from Enniscorthy. Sharon asked me would I like to visit and try out dermaplaning and knowing what it was I jumped at the offer. 

• Dermaplaning is a non invasive skin manual exfoliation treatment. 

• Dermaplaning while it sounds new age has been around for about 15 years.

• Dermaplaning uses a 10 gauge sterile scalpel blade to remove surface dead skin cells to reveal fresh skin below.

• While it sounds scary it is a painless procedure resulting in fresh, smooth and glowing skin.

• YES this does remove the fine vellus hair (Peach fuzz) from the face but NO it does not cause the hair to grow back faster or thicker (Ladies you will not look like a Yeti I promise 💓)

• Dermaplaning softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles allowing for a more youthful look

• Dermaplaning removes more dead skin than regular exfoliation techniques (see image below it is a little gross but it proves how good it is, I was shocked I thought I had been good).

The entire experience was lovely from Sharon being so kind and relaxed to the atmosphere during the treatment which allowed for me to be at ease while having the treatment. Although it looks quite scary the fact a blade will be used to remove the dead skin cells from the face *first thoughts are always OH GOD its a blade *second thoughts are I have seen videos and what if I do not end up like that, what if the blade cuts my face *third thoughts were what  if it hurts. I can honestly say all of these thoughts are valid but there is NO need. Sharon is very well trained and would put you at ease the moment you meet her and talking through the process you know you are under a trained professional so I knew I was in good hands.
          The blade cannot be made look any less like a blade but it was smooth and at no point was it sore or uncomfortable (the only word I would use is tingly), after the treatment a gel was applied to sooth the face which was so nice. Once this gel was allowed to soak in the most amazing mask from http://www.edenbeautygroup.com a Casmara soothing peel off face mask (it contained oats ) which can go over the eyes and the lips and gently peels off without removing hair, leaving a fresh soothed face all over (AMAZING). It was a very different kind of mask but it was so good I bough a home kit from Sharon (I will let you know how easy it is as D.I.Y when I use it).

The best thing is the next day and still weeks later I can feel the benefits of my serums and creams and even my weekly face masks. they really do penetrate much better and your skin really does have that extra bit of fresh glow going on (loving life when my face is glowing).

In its entirety the experience was brilliant from detailed explanations of what to expect to a professional and relaxed treatment. I would highly recommend Sharon as an Aesthetician and definitely for the Dermaplaning facial. To be found @ 4 Duffery Hill, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.

Still surprised by the exfoliation level

Such a nice relaxing room

On a little side note of other things going on in the bloggerverse I teamed up with the amazing Jo Browne form Jo Browne Ireland solid fragrances to do a brilliant giveaway across Instagram and Facebook which got great attention and hype and was so much fun to do !! Also I have a very exciting collaboration in the works to be announced on Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook (links below) over the next couple of days (as soon as I can tell you all I will). The next couple of weeks are going to be a lot of fun so stay tuned. Just to remind you if you have any ideas or suggestions for posts you would like to see me do or products/treatments to check out and review let me know and get in touch.  

Chat soon 😉

Sorry I have been missing ! But I have kept my routine and have lots to tell you!!

Hey guys,

Apologies ! I have been off the blogging radar the past few weeks I was not literally missing just in the sense of not on here with family visits and work, but I am back and over the few weeks I received a few products to test and reviewed a few also. I also attended an event by L'occitane <3 and had quite a lot of fun all of which I will fill you in on. Where to start ?! 

  ***            ***               ***

OK. So I have managed to go shopping again TK Maxx and Pennys (Primark) including my local health stores and pharmacies to get my hands on creams lotions and potions galore.

My favourites from Pennys have been; * The P.S nose pore strips in the green and white packet amazing results!! I wash my face and steam before using and leave them on until fully dry leaving my pores clean and clear then  just rinse residual product from nose at €1.50 I'm sorry but you cannot just eave them on the shelf. Also I have tried and tested the long overdue the P.S Love to Glow face mask famed and related to the big brand of GlamGlow While they may share a few similar ingredients and glow in the name that is where I would leave it, this does not mean that it wasn't a fabulous mask but for €3.50 compared to €56 there is a big difference in the quality and it is "you get what you pay for". That being said the P.S love to Glow mask I applied with a brush and left on for 15 minutes before heading out for my best friends graduation meal, everyone being all done up I wanted to put my best skin forward and this mask definitely did help it gave a little pick me up and brought down any redness I had on my face while at the same time softening and also gave a glow which I received numerous complements when out to dinner with friends and strangers at this meal. Would I buy this product again most defiantly for price and results, have I recommended this product yes and I will continue to last but not least is it exactly like GlamGlow no and it should not be expected but it stands on its own to give fabulous results for price paid. 

  ***            ***               ***

My next fun time I had was with the lovely people from L'occitane en Provence {in association with Irish Country Magazine} for the launch of their new moisturiser and serum "Divine Harmony" which smells and feels beautiful to the skin and reviews look amazing. The evening was lovely as I attended with one of my work girlfriends who is a lover of L'occitane too, we enjoyed testers and fresh lemonade as well as chatting with the staff for tips and hints and the new Advent Calendar down to €56 from €100 and all of the goodies inside well worth it (which is why it is on my wish list now along with the serum!!). The ladies I dealt with were the manager Kerry and staff Shannon in the Dundrum Town Centre store, they were really lovely and so helpful with our questions and experience. The golden treat had to be the goodie bags we got sent home with (so lovely) and the hand massages (divine a full sensory experience). Overall it was an indulgent event enjoyed by moi and beautiful purchases made too.

Welcome to Skincare, Dunne that!

Hey,

So I have contemplated this for a little while and decided to give it a go, so welcome to the first of hopefully many insightful, interactive and informative posts by moi. I personally own a million and one personal care products (slight exaggeration !) but none the less I own a lot of them and I am constantly buying and trying new products on a weekly basis. I own and buy everything indulging from head to toe for both the men and women, depending on how I personally found they worked. As a result of allowing the inner indulgence of myself I thought it selfish not to share it with the wider world.

          For the last few years I have been the one in the group that would always have a hint or tip on hand for an array of skin issues from the inside out and the outside in. I am now known as the bag man as I work long shifts and carry bags of lotions and potions to have my skin looked after to the very best for what ever a day or shift may throw at me. I have also become the person to call for advice on any products to do with personal care including information on any new products which  may be coming out and giving samples of my newly bought products. 

          I am an avid lover of the self and how to feel and look our best for the general day to day and events but mainly to love ourselves in our most exposing organ that is the skin. My hope is to be able to give each and every person that visits my blog advice and tips on the skin from anything I have read or researched (so you hopefully won't have to) to recommendations of the newest products to try out there to best look after our skin. With that said stay tuned for the future posts, I hope each and everyone of you enjoy.
