Matt O Flaherty Chemist’s Vichy advisor, Inga Paskaukiene, has been awarded the prestigous Vichy Award of Excellence.

For the fifth year running Vichy introduced the nationwide competition in Irish pharmacies and revealed the Vichy Advisor of the Year 2012. Vichy developed this competition with the aim to engage and motivate dermo-advisors, raise the standard of advice and to promote skin health through Irish pharmacies nationwide. The lucky winners were recently announced at the glamorous awards ceremony in the five-star Westin Hotel, Westmoreland Street, hosted by popular TV presenter and renowned beauty journalist Laura Bermingham. Tina Mc Hale from Staunton’s Pharmacy, Castlebar was one of the finalists who attended the awards.

Ireland houses some of the most amazing designers, stylists, and fashion industry experts who have built up successful careers through ambition, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Although we do not have a fashion week per se, the Dublin Festival of Fashion is attempting to address the need for a platform for this talent. I have been involved with the festival since it started three years ago, and I have seen it grow in popularity, with fashionistas from around the country travelling to the capital to check out the programme of events, including talks from experts and plenty of fashion shows. But this year it will be extra special, with presenter Amanda Byram as the face of the festival. I met Amanda last week in Dublin to talk about what makes the festival special, why she is so excited to be part of it, and what she loves about fashion.

The nominations have been cast, the entries read and the Connacht finalists have been decided for the Woman’s Way/John West Mum of the Year.
