It’s a bank holiday weekend, the sun is shining and we’re pretty happy here at VIP HQ.
What isn’t there to love this St Patrick’s weekend?
Here’s what we’ve been obsessing about this week!
Digital Editor Bronwyn is loving…a glam night away

Sometimes you just need a boujie break!
I was able to spend a night at the K Club in Kildare and get the VIP treatment with a stunning spa experience, facial and three course meal.
I was treated to an Oscar’s Diamond Energy Facial and I literally floated out of the spa. And my facialist was so lovely and kind, making sure I was so relaxed by the time I left.
From dinner to breakfast, I adored the food here. And would definitely recommend spoiling yourself for a special occasion for a night away.

Staff Writer Anja is loving…Cozy Towels
It might not be summer yet, but I’m already counting down the days for when I can use my gorgeous new Cozy Earth Windowpane Resort Towel, following a well-needed sea-swim.
Made from their signature bamboo-cotton blend, this towel is unbelievably soft, ultra-absorbent, and breathable, making it perfect for drying off after a swim or just lounging in comfort.
The vibrant colors — like Blue Lagoon, Prickly Pear, Sunny Sky, and Watermelon — already add such a fun, stylish touch to my poolside setup. It’s pure laid-back luxury, and I know I’ll be reaching for it all summer long. And I can’t even begin to describe how incredible it feels to wrap myself up in after a long, luxurious everything shower!

Bronwyn is loving…a good night’s sleep
I am the worst sleeper ever. I get it from my mam…
I can spend the night tossing and turning rather than sleeping. And I’ve tried everything. My herd of sheep has been counted and counted.
So I’m a big fan of Revive Active’s Sleep Capsules are here to help you wind down and get the rest you deserve. Packed with calming botanicals and key minerals like Magnesium Bisglycinate, Revive Active’s Sleep Capsules are your go-to for a better night’s sleep.
Each two-capsule dose includes ingredients like Chamomile Extract to help you relax, Montmorency Cherry Extract to support your sleep cycle, and Magnesium Bisglycinate to calm your nervous system.
Head of Commercial and Events Rebecca is loving…a dramatic lash
If you’re a fan of fake lashes or love that dramatic faux-lash effect, Benefit’s new BADgal Bounce Volumising Mascara is about to become your new holy grail. As a fan of the OG BADgal mascara, I couldn’t wait to try this one— and it certainly didn’t disappoint!
My favourite thing about it was not only the fuller lashes but the remarkable staying power. Even more impressive was the fact that it didn’t budge or smudge, with zero under-eye fallout. So for long-lasting volume, lift that stays put all day, this mascara is a must-try!

Bronwyn is loving…green thumbs
Growing up in the countryside, we were always growing veggies or picking berries and making jam. It’s something I want to continue on now as an adult.
I definitely amn’t the best plant mam. But I’m getting there. And GrowBox has helped me with that.
GrowBox comes with everything you need – including dirt to grow all the veggies you could need. And it’s safe to say that I’m ready to enter my green thumb era.

Fashion lovers run, don’t walk to Kildare Village this May – as hugely popular, London fashion brand, RIXO is opening its first-ever Irish store.
The new permanent boutique will open on the 8th of May offering an exciting selection of RIXO products, including off-price items, ready-to-wear pieces from the latest collections and markdown styles from the stunning RIXO Bridal collection.

Bronwyn is loving…a refreshing drink
Lent is here. Whether or not you’re religious, sometimes it’s nice to just challenge yourself.
I’m off minerals, fizzy drinks and alcohol until Easter so I’ve been searching for a new alternative. Enter Volvic Touch of Fruit Sparkling Sugar Free water. It’s so delicious and you’re hydrated as well. A bonus all round!
The new Volvic cans are now available in Ireland and we’re stocking up as we speak.
