Christmas Blog Party 2014

Events

Over the past couple of weeks, myself and my buddy Nirina joined forces with Aoibhe Devlin of The Secret Obsession Blog to plan a little festive party for our fellow blogger friends – there are just so many of us out there!

After a lot of venue hunting and trying to get the right sponsors for the event, it finally took place on Thursday 20th November in the upstairs lounge of The Opium on Wexford Street, Dublin.

We were absolutely spoilt for whole night: they treated us with a lovely selection of dessert platters and there wasn’t a single blogger who wasn’t holding a glass of wine in their hand – not that I’m encouraging alcoholism here or anything, but their wine just tasted so good!

As well as that, we got a very generous sponsorship from the KOH Coconut team and OKF Ireland, who kindly shared with us some very interesting flavours of their coconut water as well as their infamous aloe vera water – it is absolutely to die for!

Some other sponsors included reputable brands such as Cocoa Brown, Dream Dots for Spots, Sizers, Beverly Hills Formula, Nivea and Popchips. The girls were very lucky to each go home with a goodie bag filled with products from all these brands so I’m really looking forward to getting some feedback from them.

Dream Dots Dream Dots for Spots
Beverly Hills Formula Perfect White Black Toothpaste
Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser, Invisible Deodorant, Fruity Shine Cherry Lip balm
Sizers Orange & Purple
Cocoa Brown iPhone Case
Koh Coconut Coconut Water & Pineapple and Coconut Water & Mango
Aloe Vera King Natural drink
Popchips Original and Sour Cream & Onion

The fun didn’t end there! There was also a spot prize for one lucky blogger and the gorgeous Agata of Style Gamblers, who is still very new to the blogging scene, went home with the prize for the best dressed. She looked as festive as ever and I’m really glad she – and the rest of the clan – made such an effort for the event!

Belle F Beauty Bloggers meetup

Events

Hello dolls! I’m happy to finally say there’s just one more sleep left until my first bloggers meetup. Over the past couple of weeks, myself and a friend have put a lot of effort into planning the perfect way to end the year.

Unfortunately some of the bloggers I’ve met since I started blogging will not be able to make it , but for those of you who will be coming, here is what tomorrow will bring:

First things things first, the address is Dakota, South William Street, Dublin 1

If you get stuck feel free to send me a tweet as I will be at my phone the whole day…

It will start at 4 pm and the first 20 to arrive will get a goody bag! So make sure you get there on time! On arrival, you will get the chance to catch up with other bloggers and meet with new ones.

After that we will have three guest speakers (with breaks in between of course!)

Of the three, the fabulous Aoibhe Devlin will speak to us about her experience in the world of blogging, and how she The Secret Obsession Blog became as popular as it is now.

Cloud 10 Beauty, who have also sponsored the goody bags for the event, will be in to speak about their Christmas box set and last but not least, Fiona Bourke will be telling us all about her fashion journey and how what started as a hobby is turning into a successful business.

There will be a raffle in the evening and we have some lovely spot prizes from Buff Day Spa and Cloud 10 Beauty so remember to get your tickets throughout the day.

To keep everyone energized (we will need it believe me), KOH Coconut have provided us with a GENEROUS amount of coconut water (I have half a litre every day and I still can’t get enough of it!)

Non coconut lovers can have Aloe Vera Drink instead, and finally (yes there’s more!) they have also given us a few beauti shots which is new to the market- Can’t wait to get my hands on those…….

I’m not a complete health freak so it won’t be a complete health feast! The nibbles and munchies will assure you of that! I’d rather not announce the dessert now as I’m very excited to try it myself, it’s probably one of my favorite desserts in the world – to say the least.

I think I pretty much covered everything! If you have any questions let me know! Also I finally found my outfit after roaming around the street of Dublin for 3 hours yesterday (it was worth it!)

Look forward to seeing you all and I hope you all like the illustration of me by Holly, I think it looks amazing don’t you?

5 Benefits of Coconut Water

Not so guilty pleasure

It’s been a while since I wrote a ‘Guilty Pleasure’ post, never mind a ‘Not So Guilty Pleasure’ so I decided that it was time for me to get around to paying a bit more attention to the nutritional side of things (especially after my new found love for coconut water)

If you follow my posts on Facebook or Twitter you would know that I am now addicted to coconut water (there’s worse things out there….)

After the Dublin Fashion Festival, where I met the beautiful Darren Kennedy pictured somewhere on the right, I was just hooked on Vita Coco coconut water and then of course I was introduced to KOH Coconut water which is even tastier that Vita Coco‘s (not to mention the difference in price)

The point is, enhancewhatsyours.com loves coconut water and here are 5 benefits of coconut water that we put together to help you Enhance Whats Yours:

1. Anti-aging: The antioxidants in coconut water slow down the aging process because it helps fight free radicals (can’t go wrong!)

2. Weight- loss: Coconut water is low in fat, calories and sugars and rich in vitamins and nutrients so it can help you feel full pretty quickly. This will help suppress the feeling of hunger

Note:don’t use it as a replacement for food, it’s just something to keep you going until you have a real meal

3. Glowing Skin: Coconut water is considered to be one of the purest ones (after water that is) – it’s great for hydrating the skin and making your skin look more youthful and supple. Some say that coconut water has positive effects when dabbed on the skin but I’d feel pretty guilty for doing that so I guess that’s something I’ll never know……

4. Vitamins and Nutrients: Coconut water is a natural source of nutrients as it contains calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium (”more potassium than a banana”), zinc, Vitamin C and Vitamins of B so if you aren’t feeling the best, drink some coconut water and you’ll surly be energized!

5. Flushes toxins out: Coconut water is very beneficial for your digestive system, it helps remove toxins from your body and also provides hydration which will relieve you from any tiredness or fatigue (again a great energy boost!)

Honestly I just like the taste of coconut water, the fact that it has all these benefits (as well as beauty benefits) is just a bonus for me….

Have you tried coconut water yet? If so what do you make of it? Feel free to leave your thoughts below!
