Get Away Gorgeous with Benefit Cosmetics - Yes Please!!

Hi lovelies, I hope this post finds you all well. 

Last week I was invited to The Morgan hotel in Dublin by Benefit Cosmetics and I wanted to share my experience with you. I had never been to The Morgan before my visit but I had heard about the great night life with resident house DJs, live sax and bongo players. Something different aye girls!

Upon entering the hotel I was impressed immediately with a warm welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. I was then escorted up to the penthouse suite (oh la la) where I had to remind myself to close my jaw, it was so lavish. The above photo was taken on the rooftop balcony, I didn't want to leave girls. I can picture myself up there all night with friends, sipping on cocktails and taking in the Dublin night sky.

Benefit have teamed up with The Morgan hotel and created what can only be described as a must do night out. You would be a fool (yes I said it) not to take advantage of the "Get away gorgeous" experience. It costs €100 per person and includes your overnight stay, a Benefit masterclass, cocktails, tapas food, entertainment in the hotel on the night and a decadent buffet breakfast in the morning.

Brow me up before you go-go, Mark Rogers making my brows more acceptable for the public eye! Photo taken by Marian, thank you lovely.

What more could you ask for girls. I think this is a fantastic experience. You'll get to learn lots of tips and tricks from the Benebabe team and get to play with the latest products from Benefit. After experiencing the tapas myself I can tell you that you won't be disappointed. The cocktails in the hotel bar are also very reasonable with speciality cocktails at €7. Oh and if you thought it couldn't get any better, each girl will also receive and exclusive benefit treat to take home.

Would you book the "Get Away Gorgeous" experience? 

There you go, I can say no more...who wants to book with me?! If you are interested you can contact reservations by email reservations@themorgan.com or call 01 643 7000 .

Love,

Blingin' Fantastic D.I.Y Shoes

Have any of you noticed the recent craze on Facebook for blinged out converse style shoes or is it just me? I decided to give them a go myself because...well...why not?! I bought these grey converse knock off's from Dunnes Stores for €10, they also currently have them in red, navy, white and brown.

You can get these Stickcons in a variety of colours from www.stickcons.com for €12. They could not have been any easier to apply. It took less than five minutes and three easy steps. Remove from packaging, place where you desire and press firmly for a moment to stick them in place. Honestly, fool proof! They also stick to fabric and other surfaces. I was left with a few extra strips which I can use to bling anything else, I was thinking maybe my phone cover.

There you go, let me know what you think in the comments below. It's a lot less time consuming than using a glue gun and individually placing each gem on so a big thumbs up from me. I also have a pink set of Stickcons so I might use them to spruce up a pair of shoes for a friend. I think that would make a cute gift, as long as I get the right shoe size!!

Love,

Sarah

Debt Free and loving it...*Happy Dance*

As of 10:30 today I became debt free! Wooo hoooo!! Can I get a "Whoop whoop" in the comments below! 

I am beyond excited about paying off my student loan which has been hanging over my head for seven years. Not having to worry about loan payments every month is going to be such a huge weight off my shoulders. I will not know what to do with myself. Well... I have a fair idea, it may involve a new wardrobe!

To celebrate I took my brother David for breakfast to a cafe which opened recently in Navan town called No.8 Watergate. I had yet to go and I heard great things about their american style pancakes and I was not disappointed with what I received! It look's like a lot but boy was it good, I even asked for extra maple syrup. Yum!

Noting works off a big breakfast like shopping, aye girls! While looking for a dress for another occasion entirely I came across this little number in River Island for the bargain price of €12 reduced from €25. I had to try it on! I've never worn a dress which was short short and tight tight at the same time. Usually if I'm going short I stick to flowy girlie dresses. I tried it on anyway and asked you lovely girls what you thought and I received a heck load of "BUY IT" and lovely compliments and Twitter and Facebook so you can bet your bottom dollar I bought it. Thank you girls for the push. I also treated myself to some new gym clothes in Penneys, they really have great selection in there for practically noting.

The best part of being debt free are the new things I can focus on. My number one mission at the moment is too get on the road. I've had my provisional license since I was 18 but because I lived in the UK and then Dublin for the last seven years I never needed to drive. I actually love public transport but that's a whole other post! So yeah, I can't drive...It's mostly nerves I need to get over and then I'll be flying. My goal is to be on the road in a little banger by the end of the summer.

I hope you don't mind these types of posts. I just love sharing my happy news with you all. Have you ever cleared off a loan and felt on top of the world like I do now?

Love,

Sarah
