Monday's Moments - 02/02/15

Good morning, February, I thought you'd never get here! While that January felt like the longest in the history of Januarys, the fact that it's bright until almost 5pm every evening now means Spring is about to be sprung and what's not to love about that? 

Here be five other Moments that mean this Monday doesn't suck as much for me: 

1. Aar Reaching the Ripe Old Age of 19!

2. A Hotel Card DEBACLE Meaning Corrina & I Ended Up in the Packed Car Park of The Heritage Hotel in our Robes in -4 Degree Weather! 

( I can laugh about it now)

3. Reaching 2000 Lovely Double Tappers 

Over on Instagram! 

(Come Connect Wiv Me There - 

We'll Be Celebrating Soon!)

4. Hitting My Third Stone Off Last Week. 

5. Pops Being 80% Better Than He Was Last Week. 

So tell us, what little things are you counting as blessings this week? 

Monday's Moments - 08/12/14

Morning, All! By and large it's a real shame that I wasn't around for Monday's Moments last week. I could've shared some pretty stonking things that happened on our German/Dutch Christmas market adventure. Like the Germans' complete aversion to my leopard print bag but rest assured Corrina will be filling us in during Tuesday's Travels. 

For now we celebrate last week's little things, the Moments that mean there's zero blues around here: 

1. Opening My Case & Realising How Much Makeup I Bought While Merry on Gluhwein! 

(I'm calling it #BUI (Buying Under the Influence))

2. Getting a Text From Adam 

in the Skate Rink: 

'I can't believe they're paying me to do this, Mam'

3. My Mam Gifting Me The Stunning Suede Parka She's Owned for 25 Years!

4. Eats & Drinks Outside On The Terrace On Friday Night With Some Great People - 

We Could've Been Anywhere in the World!

5. Finally Managing A Night Out 

With Mah Hard Working Boys ❤

That's them, five Moments that make it all worthwhile. 

I'd love to know what's going on with you of late. Any happy haps to report? 

Monday's Moments - 24/11/14

Good morning all on this cold November morning, am I allowed to be shocked it's so cold, considering it's almost December? 

As most weeks have been this past month or so, the past one was a beaut. I managed to get about to several events that I'd had marked up for weeks and managed to pencil in several more before the end of the year too. All go, in a great way. 

How about some stand out Moments then? 

1. A Work Pal Gifting Me A Malteser Bunny Just Before The 3pm Slump!

2. Realising Aaron Plugged In My Electric Blanket An Hour Before Bed When I Complained 

About My Back

3. Spying Adam Give Orla Skating Tips From The Big Skate Rink

4.My Much Longed For Charlotte Tilbury's Lost Cherry Arriving In The Post!

5. Snuggling Back Into Bed As 

Both Lads Leave For Work

Tell us, what's making your Monday all the more bearable today? 

The Tuesday Chattery - Budget Beauty Treatments in Penney's - Will Ya?

Having heard a couple of whispers I made some inquiries yesterday and it turns out that, yep, fast fashion mecca, Penney's/Primark are about to offer budget beauty treatments in store, alongside their budget buys. 

With the first opening being a Nail & Lash bar in their Mary St store on September 29th, Love Beauty by Mohindra are set to take the affordable treatment world by storm. Worry not about quality of care though as Monika has been in charge of training at world famous Shavata Studios for 15 years!

There'll be nails, lashes and eventually brows, all at prices more akin to New York salons, rather than the somewhat exorbitant prices we pay in Dublin now. Here's just a taster:

Manicure: €12

File & Paint: €7

French Polish: +€3

Gel Polish: €17

Threading: €7

Eyebrow Tinting: €7 

Considering I paid €36 for a thread & tint just this month, 

I'll certainly be checking them out. I could have my brows sorted and enough left for fleece pjs AND fluffy socks?! Can you say BARG?

Tell us, are you looking forward to more affordable treatments? 

Will you be getting your nails did in the space of time it takes to queue in Penney's of a weekend anyway? 

Let's Chat!

The Monday Chattery - Howzit?

It's been a while hasn't it? 

We'll take it nice and slow this morning to ease us back in. 

Tell us, what did you get up to at the weekend? Have we all shaken the dreaded lurgy at this stage?

The Tuesday Chattery: Your Go To Budget Break?

Can you believe it's Tuesday again? 

In her Tuesday's Travels feature this week, Corrina is set to blow your mindhole with hints and tips for taking a children's dream trip with very few sheckles. 

Not entirely unrelated my question today is thus: 

What's your go to budget break? Somewhere you love to spend your time without spending your life savings - do tell.... 

Let's Chat!

The Monday Chattery

Morning All!

In celebration of being back in the saddle with Monday's Moments I'd like to ask you this: 

What's one little thing that makes you grateful today? I know Monday can be pissy but taking a mo to think about that silver lining really does set you up for a brighter outlook and a better day so tell us, what's your Monday's Moment? 

Let's Chat!
