Okay, the weather might not be what we’re dreaming of.
But there is plenty for us to love despite that.
Here’s what we’re loving this week.
Digital Editor Bronwyn is loving…a good facial
I’ve been trying to get my skincare routine down. But unfortunately that doesn’t always work because I’m definitely not a skincare expert.
There are so many options on the market and sometimes you don’t know where to start. So I headed to South William Clinic to really just get back to basics with an Environ facial.
As someone who deals with acne and redness, this was the perfect facial for me. My facialist walked me through every single step and explained what exactly I need to add to my routine at home. I really appreciated it because like I said, it’s hard to know exactly what you need.
I practically floated out of the treatment room and my skin has never looked so glowing.

Head of Commercial and Events Rebecca is loving…a cocktail
Who doesn’t love a cocktail in the sun? Well, if you are looking for a new refreshing tipple to enjoy this summer, then you have to try out a Disaronno Fizz!
Last weekend I popped along to a Disaronno Brunch & cocktail masterclass, where I dangerously learned out to make these beauties at home and it’s fair to say, this definitely going to be my go-to drink this summer.
This cocktail is so easy to make with only 4 ingredients – Disaronno, soda water, lemon juice and a dash of sugar syrup, and the best bit is, it is low in alcohol! The perfect summer sip that will have you thinking you are on the Amalfi coast, even if it doesn’t feel like it outside. Disaronno is available from retailers nationwide and you can find out more here.

Pride isn’t just for June, you know?
We should be supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community all year round. And if you’re in Northern Ireland over the next while, you can do just that.
Belfast Pride takes place from 19 – 28 July, and hosts over 150 events across 10 days.
The programme includes the Belfast Pride Family Fun Day on July 20, HERe NI’s Plant For Pride event on July 24, and so many more workshops, panels, quizzes and clinics.

Digital Editor Bronwyn is loving…a good perfume
I love perfume and I always love to add to my collection.
Cerulean Bloom stands out as one of the best summer perfumes, transporting you to a tranquil, seaside haven with every spritz.
Yes, it’s the perfect summer scent and I’m a massive fan of the statement perfume.
Cerulean Bloom opens with crisp top notes of aquatic and water lilies, instantly evoking memories of seaside days. It unveils a mesmerizing blend of Jasmine, Orchid, Violet, and Freesia, reminiscent of petals falling in the early morning breeze. Finally, the base notes of Cedarwood, Vetiver, and Amber infuse the perfume with depth and richness, grounding the fragrance with a warm, earthy undertone.

Staff Writer Anja is loving…SOLE Seafood & Grill
This week I finally got the chance to dine in Dublin’s SOLE Seafood & Grill, and all I can say is wow – what a treat it was! To start, we could not but order SOLE’s Captain Seafood Tower. If you want the ultimate seafood experience, this is the dish for you and your fellow diners. It features everything you could want from Rock oysters and Dublin Bay prawns to grilled lobster, crab claws and West Cork mussels to name but a few delicacies.
Up next was the main and of course I ordered the lobster, served alongside baby potatoes and garlic and herb butter. And yes, it was everything I could have imagined and more. Finally, to finish the evening we decided to share two portions of the zingy Key Lime Tart, followed by a delightful espresso martini.
So, whether you’re reuniting with some pals or celebrating a family occasion, SOLE is the place to do it. It should also be mentioned that if you’re not a lover of fish, there are plenty of other dishes to choose from for all you meat lovers out there.

Head of Digital Jade is loving… Silky smooth skin

I’m a big shaver. I don’t wax, and I definitely don’t do laser – in case you haven’t work it out, when it comes to hair removal I don’t like pain.
I used hair removal cream for a period when I was young, but ultimately I found it to be a bit of a hassle (and don’t even get me started on the smell).
But recently I tried Veet’s new Expert Hair Removal Cream, and I may have to go back to my roots.
The cream is easy to use (and satisfying when you pull all of that hair off your legs). The products also have added skincare benefits to keep skin soft and moisturised after use.
Maybe I’ll even try out their wax strips soon…
