Celebrity dresses at Born

Thu, Jul 26, 2012

The hunt for the perfect deb’s dress is now on. Born Clothing is now stocking So Amazing dresses, a favourite of celebrity Georgia Salpa. These dresses were a massive hit at the Miss Ireland finale, and also featured on the hit TV programme Irish Debs. If you are looking to stand out among the crowd then Born Clothing is your one-stop shop. These fabulous dresses are opulent, luxurious, and will ensure you are the belle of the ball. Prices range from €130 to €250, but I can assure you girls these high-end dresses are worth every penny for your special night.

I love the aqua and lilac printed number similar to the Ted Baker print that shone on the catwalk in Paris last year. This is simple, demure, and super flattering on all body shapes because of the cinched waistband and structured bodice. Alternatively, if you are willing to embrace some bling for your debs, the chiffon royal blue Goddess dress is a feminine piece which is adorned with luxurious jewels that will be sure to make heads turn.

Boost your energy at Care and Cure clinic

Thu, Jul 19, 2012

Do you feel tired all the time? If you suffer from low energy levels, fatigue, and exhaustion, you might think that this is normal. At Care and Cure clinic, traditional Asian medicine is used to resolve the many problems that arise from fast-paced modern living. You might not show the classic symptoms of exhaustion, but feeling tiredness after eating, an afternoon slump, or a lack of get-up-and go are all problems which can escalate. You may end up finding it harder to concentrate on tasks, and feel increasingly frustrated and irritable. Acupuncture, acupressure, and traditional Chinese herbs can help. Using these tried and tested methods will soon increase your energy levels and put a pep in your step.

Acupuncture’s basic principle states that all organs in the body have an individual energy. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that energy travels from the organs to the skin through channels called meridians, which are connected all over the body. At certain points the meridians connect to form acupuncture points which each correspond to an organ. If the energies become out of balance due to stress, overwork, or excessive living, you may experience low energy levels, digestive problems, and poor sleep.
