This afternoon I was kindly invited into , Donegal place to check out what they have on offer for Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 To me Boots has always been the go to place for skincare, beauty and wellness, but don’t you think it’s iconic at this time of year!! The fragrance gift sets, the gift sets and the 3 for 2 stocking fillers have all been in my life for as long as I can remember.
After a tour of the Christmas shop Boots Beauty Specialiest Ellie took me around the beauty counters and showed me all the offers and ideas for gifting (that includes self gifting) 🤣🤣
I love chatting to the staff on all the counters they are so knowledgable about their products and so generous with their time in helping choose exactly what you want. Did you know that as it stands at the minute Boots Beauty Specialists are some of the only non incentivised staff in the industry. So, no sales pitch, no pressure, just serving you and helping you get the best products for your budget. 💸 I think that’s so important to know in these times we live in. Our social media feeds are flooded with products, how on earth are we ment to know what is best? Well if you take the time to talk to these guys you will be blown away with their knowledge. 🧠
There’s too many offers to tell you about, but stand outs are the Star Buys ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always exclusive to Boots, always less than 50% off!! Check out the case and the silver bag that contains their famous setting spray. There’s 30 off selected skincare, unreal fragrance deals, Black Friday deals and gifts with purchase deals. 🖤🖤
Next time your in Belfast, call in and take time to discuss your skin care needs with the staff. I think you’ll be impressed. And start the Christmas shopping if you haven’t yet!! 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼
Thanks for having me , you are all a joy!! 🥰😍😘
Ps get ready for a haul at the weekend!!!

Another fabulous day at Ladies Day at 🏇
Great craic with , and the rest of the crew.
Delicious food, great company and the sun even came out. ☀️☀️☀️🥶
The style was unreal as usual. Always a tough tough job for picking the winners!
I’m starting to think we are quite good at this horse racing thing as we got a few wins but maybe not as good at the summer. 🤣🤣💸💸 When I say wins, I mean as much as you win when you put £2.50 each way on 🙄

P E P I T O 🇪🇸
At last we made it to this evening and it ticked all the boxes. Spacious, relaxed vibes, a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and food that brings a little slice of Spain to East Belfast. 🇪🇸

The monkfish was a standout dish, and came recommended by our lovely server — who deserves a special shoutout for looking after us so well.

What did we order?
🧡Monkfish
🤎Meatballs
🧡Spanish chicken
🤎Patatas Bravas

A gorgeous spot for relaxed dining, amazing cocktails, and even better food.
Try the Paloma 🧡😉
Im delighted to have this on my doorstep!

🎢✨ After Dark at Emerald Park ✨🎢

There’s something thrilling about theme parks after sundown — when the lights flicker on, the air cools, and every twist and turn feels just a little more daring.

Just 90 minutes from Belfast, Emerald Park’s After Dark experience is the perfect half-term adventure. We braved the rides by moonlight, screamed our way through the night, and laughed until our voices were gone. 🎡💀

From heart-racing coasters to family favourites with a spooky twist, it’s the kind of night that reminds you why autumn hits different.

📸 My pics are not great but if you’re lucky I’ll share some of the professional ones we collected after the rides on stories tomorrow🫣. It’s a good job I’m not vain as they are a sight to be seen 🤣🤣 How can you look good with so many layers? Wrap up it’s freezing! 🧤🧣🥶

🎟️ A must for thrill-seekers this Halloween season!

I was delighted to be invited along to the new store tonight! We were treated to some gorgeous cocktails from and canapés from
The store looks unreal and as far as retail units go, it’s right up there with the elite.

Gentlemen of Belfast you are in for a treat.

Remus Uomo has officially opened the doors to its new Belfast flagship on Arthur Street, welcoming customers into a reimagined retail destination that sets the standard for the brand’s future.

The 5,500 sq. ft. store spans two floors and represents a £500k investment by Douglas & Grahame Ltd, parent company of Remus Uomo. The flagship is twice the size of the former Victoria Square unit and introduces an elevated shopping experience that blends Nordic-inspired design with Belfast’s industrial heritage.

The opening marks an important milestone for the brand, which was founded in Belfast in 1991 and now operates standalone stores in Dublin and Glasgow, alongside a strong network of wholesale and online partners.

Stepping inside, customers are welcomed into a space that reflects Remus Uomo’s modern aesthetic while celebrating its Belfast roots. The flagship introduces the brand’s refreshed retail concept in full for the first time, designed to create a premium yet welcoming environment.

Alongside the new look, the store offers enhanced services such as personal style consultations and wedding appointments, plus digital features that connect in-store and online shopping.
