Free'ist Scrumptious And Sugar Free

Image
I have always been addicted to all things sugary and chocolaty. Struggling with sugar since I was very young and now in my late twenties. I am fed up with bingeing on sugary, high calorie foods. Don't get me wrong at the time, I love the sugary treats but after a while I feel horrible, sluggish and regret my choice of junk foods. As a mother of one, I want my daughter who is four. To learn that too much sugary foods isn't good for our bodies. As she has no understanding about this, I choose the food she eats. Recently I came across the brand "Free'ist" and I was delighted to hear that they make sugar free biscuits, chocolates, jams, pop-corn and much more! I was excited to try out their range and to see if sugar free is still delicious. I gathered my family around, including my daughter and we tasted these delightful treats. I was shocked that my mum loved them, as she normally avoids anything too healthy. My daughter didn't even recognize the sugar difference...

West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK Designer Boutique Night

Image
Each season I am egar to see new designers and Boutiques showcase their latest designs, at the Designer and Boutique fashion-show at West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK. This season's event was held at the stunning Belfast Cathedral. As we entered the event our social shots were taken by the talented photographer Brendan Gallagher. Afterwards we quenched our thirst with a glass of West Coast Cooler , as we mingled before the show with fellow fashion goers. We also had the chance to browse some fashion and lifestyle pop up stores and I was quite impressed. CMPR models flawlessly modelled designs from local designers and boutiques such as; Grainne Maher,William Morris, Akani, Angela Sloan, Blush, Cameo Boutique, Jourdan, In Chlo Mo and Ruby 67 Boutique. The event went off with a hitch and I had a lovely fashion filled night. To top off my night, I received a goodie bag full of amazing branded items from Freeist, Evian, Ruby67 boutique and much more. The event was a success thanks to the fa...

The Erne Larder Preserves

Image
Recently I came across a local business man, who is not only hard working but also driven by family. Founder of "Erne Larder Preserves" Declan O'Donoghue, creates the most incredible flavours inspired from family recipes and modern ingredients. His made in Enniskillen brand consists of homemade jams, curds, marmalade's, mulled drinks, sauces and much more! I had the chance to taste two off his culinary creations and I was quite impressed. The first I tried out was the Granny O'Donoghue's Lemon Curd. The lemon curd was the best I have ever had, it's smooth and the flavour is mellow and delicate. Secondly I tried out the very unique Dry Cured Smoked Bacon Jam and how I was wowed. If I have to admit, I wasn't sure if this would be my cup of tea. But to my surprise, I was wanting more after the first bite. This bacon jam is the most incredible savoury jam, it's full off flavour and leaves your taste buds wanting more! I highly recommend this brand and ...

Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Collection

Image
 Joan Collins has created her own iconic beauty range. Her collection "Joan Collins Timeless Beauty" is a high end, international luxury beauty brand. Through my blogging, I was sent some of the collection from the pr company "Alex Silver Pr".   I received the CLASS ACT-lash treatment gel, I AM WOMEN- skin silk body oil, a DIVINE LIPS- lipstick and my personal favourite the COMPACT DUO.   The I AM WOMEN body oil was the first I tried out, the oil had a classic scent. It felt luxurious on my skin and I smelt simply divine. It certainly saved me from putting perfume on! Next I tried out the CLASS ACT- lash treatment gel. The gel when applied encourages eyelashes to grow longer and fuller. When I applied it onto my lashes, the treatment helped lengthen my eye lashes. It also made them look more fuller, even after the first application. Afterwards I tried out my favourite product from the collection. The COMPACT DUO is the perfect addition to any women's makeup bag...

We all love makeup and when we don't have the cash to splash on amazing makeup brands such as Mac cosmetics, Too Faced and Kat Von D.

Cosmetic brands such as Makeup Revolution, I love makeup, Flawless, MUA Makeup Academy and Freedom have been my favourites.
