If you weren’t at our biggest wellness event yet over the weekend, you truly did miss out.
VIP and STELLAR’s The Self Care Sessions Live returned on Sunday, and it was a gorgeous day of insightful chats, fascinating demos, and much needed relaxation.
The day began with a gorgeous, high protein breakfast from our title sponsor Yoplait Skyr including SKYR, granola and fresh fruit, while guests arrived and had a peak around the Self Care Shop.
Here, our other partners – South William Clinic, Dermalogica, Disaronno, and bareMinerals – displayed some of their most popular products, carried out one on one demos, and took bookings from those eager to try some treatments for themselves.
Guests were also treated to a goodie bag worth over €100 chock full of goodies from Dermalogica, Skinceuticals, South William Clinic, Lindt, Max Benjiman, Yoplait, Revive Active, bareMinerals, Cliste & Co, and The Belle Brush.

First up, The Good Glow’s Georgie Crawford joined host Bianca Luykx to chat all about her own health journey, her wellness brand, and how she keeps time for herself.
After that, Dermalogica demonstrated their new LuminFusion treatment – an advanced 60-minute skin service designed to revive luminosity, refine texture, and improve skin tone.
Next, clinical psychologist Allison Keating discussed why women tend to be more anxious than men, and what practical steps you can take to quiet your mind and body.
The morning ended with a gorgeous sound bath from Sound Healer Audrey O’Connor. Just magical.
After a light lunch of sandwiches, cocktails from Disaronno, and Rosé Frizzante from Kylie Minogue Wines, we were back into our next discussion and demo from South William Clinic.
Clinical Directors Aisling Cleary and Danielle Andrews chatted about the stages of ageing before unveiling their very impressive, new Emerald Laser body and wellness treatment.
Next, Bianca hosted a panel discussion between some of the country’s most recognisable faces in wellness: GP Dr Monica Oikeh, presenter Clare McKenna, Ireland AM’s Elaine Crowley, and The Wellness Warrior Catherine O’Keeffe.
This was followed by a makeup masterclass with bareMinerals, where makeup artist Maria Xavier-Jackson talked us through the brand’s hero products. Attendees also received another gorgeous goodie bag from bareMinerals so they could try the products themselves!
And finally, the day ended with a lovely chat with The Hike Life’s Roz Purcell. She spoke all about her love of hikes, her upcoming wedding, and how she looks after herself with such a busy schedule.
It truly was a day we won’t forget any time soon.
