Ireland is reopening and you’ll want to look and feel fabulous for all those parties, dinners and special occasions. Here are five ideas to help you look and feel great.

1>> BOOK A MANI-PEDI Manicures and pedicures are a real treat and a great way to help you look and feel your best. They help with blood circulation, joint mobility and makes your hands and feet look and feel so much better. Our hands are exposed to a variety of substances so once in a while it’s good to give them some TLC. Deep cleansing and exfoliation also helps to remove dead skin cells which helps to promote new cell growth, making your nails stronger too. Your feet and hands will look and feel fabulous.

2>> ASK A PERSONAL SHOPPER Instead of spending hours roaming through stores searching for a great fit, why not treat yourself to a personal shopper experience? He or she will help you find outfits that flatter your body type, colours that suit you and styles that you are comfortable in. Skilled shopping experts are always up to date with the latest trends and are experienced at finding clothes that make their clients look and feel fabulous.

What’s more, your personal shopping experience might help you focus your shopping in the future on what suits you best so you can feel more comfortable choosing a style that works.

3>> MAKEUP CLASSES Learning more about makeup techniques, what works for our skin and tips and tricks to help us look our best is always worthwhile. Ere are so many products available, and with a constant conveyor belt of new makeup launches it pays to get expert help.

Getting your makeup done professionally is not only a great treat but you learn so much from your own makeup artist. You could also learn how to improve your own skills. If there is a particular beauty problem or issue that you need help with, perhaps thinning eyebrows, applying eye liner or under eye concealer, the professionals usually have some insider tips on what might help.

4>> YOGA WEEKEND Maintaining a healthy body and mind is what we all aim for and with the world reopening maybe it’s time for some restorative yoga.

As we transition into autumn and winter yoga can help to bolster our physical and mental wellbeing. A weekend retreat with a combination of wonderful nature, outdoor life and the tranquillity to tune into your mind and body might be just what you need. Yoga can also improve the skin’s radiance by lowering oxidative stress, which causes the skin to lose suppleness.

5>> COOKING CLASSES Healthy habits begin in the kitchen, but it may be challenging to know where to start and what you can do to keep things tasty and nutritious. It doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming and can be a lot of fun. Trying out one of the many cooking courses available in Ireland is a great way to start. Expert chefs and cooks have years of experience in helping enthusiastic amateurs to deliver great meals, for everyday and special occasions.

With the countdown to Christmas already started this might be a great way of creating a wow factor family dinner or learning more about eating healthier to give you the energy boost for the hectic holiday season.
