Thu, Jan 05, 2012
The last couple of years have seen an upsurge in the popularity of vintage fashion in Ireland. The retro look has reclaimed its spot in the trendy charts thanks to a celeb following including (but not limited to) Alexa Chung and the Olsen twins. But we need to clarify something here. Just because it is old or second hand, does not make it vintage. In a lot of ways it’s an abused term. Whether it is clothing or jewellery, we are unofficially allowed to bestow the term on pieces which are of high quality and are covetable i.e., I own several vintage scarves which I have been collecting over many years from Hermés, Chanel and Gucci (pictured, Gucci scarf from my collection). And no they are not for sale.

Thu, Jan 05, 2012
It seems that we simply cannot get enough of that brown liquid and I predict that there will be even more new coffee houses opening during 2012. Despite all the doom and gloom, sales of coffee do not appear to have been damaged and in some cases are on the increase. As consumers we are, however, becoming much more demanding, and that is great news as it will lead to a much better range of coffees and properly trained baristas (coffee making professionals). Until quite recently it was deemed acceptable to install machines that, while using whole beans, only required an operator to press a button and, hey presto, real coffee. Not any more, and while I accept that they have a place in the market, the cost of a cup from these should not be any more than €1.

Thu, Dec 22, 2011
Everyone wants to look their best for the party season, but an unsightly, painful, and often embarrassing cold sore can get in the way of a great night out, and most importantly come between you and the mistletoe during Christmas. A Vogel's Bio-Propolis is a natural cold sore herbal remedy which can be used at any stage of the virus to soothe the attack, and also prevent the cold sore from replicating.
A cold sore is a viral infection of the lip, and the outbreak typically causes little patches of unpleasantness around the mouth which affects sufferers approximately three times a year, often as a result of stress, weather change, or if the person is run down due to an unhealthy lifestyle.
