Everything Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

Here's all the bits

Happy Friday, and happy weekend.

Any plans? Anything nice on? Put up the tree yet?

Either way, good for you for taking a few minutes to sit back, relax, and find out what Team STELLAR has been loving this week.

Enjoy.

… Festive food

There’s just something about food at Christmas. It’s the perfect way to catch up, the ideal way to celebrate, and the best gift to receive… IMO.

Arnotts festive food range is here, and they’ve got some seriously gorgeous products perfect for gifting this Christmas. Or for keeping for yourself.

There’s Dubai style panettone, gingerbread houses, luxury liquorice wrapped in chocolate, and small Irish owned brands like Sugarplum, Grá Chocolates, Skelligs, and more.

Time to indulge.

… Magic body care

I love a bit of skincare… and if I’m going to make any new years resolutions this year, it’s going to be to get more into my bodycare.

Honestly, I wonder why my skin is dry when I get out of the shower, towel dry and then… do nothing. No wonder my skin is cracked and peeling when I’m lying in the sun on my holidays and not moisturising afterwards.

I recently got myself a bottle of Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Body Cream, and if there was ever a bodycare product I was going to use religiously, it was going to be this.

Just like Charlotte’s Magic Cream for your face, this moisturiser is packed full of active ingredients, is super lightweight and creamy, and sure to hydrate the skin until it’s feeling smooth and stunning.

Just gorge.

… HIV awareness

Ireland’s first ever World AIDs Day Festival is happening this week. From the Poz Vibe Tribe & GCN, the five day festival runs from November 27 to December 1, and is all about HIV awareness and shifting the stigma around HIV.

On Friday, November 28, Tropical Popical are hosting a pop-up hub offering educational resources, a welcoming space, and HIV testing with a specific focus on women’s health.

20-25% of new HIV diagnoses in Ireland are reported in women. Still, women’s health has traditionally been under researched and deprioritised, and HIV cases are no different. 

From 3-5pm in Tropical Popical, people will be able to be tested and check their status with 2 senior nurses. There will also be the opportunity to speak to people living with HIV about how that impacts or does not impact them in 2025.

You can check out the World AIDs Day Festival programme here. 

… Christmas coffees

I love a seasonal drink. I love the flavours, I love the vibe, I love that drinking coffee doesn’t have to be boring because you can add a sugar syrup, or melted chocolate, or even some Baileys flavouring.

Insomnia has teamed up with Baileys Irish Cream to create a limited edition range of coffees and hot chocolates that have all the flavour of Baileys, without the alcohol.

We’re talking Baileys flavoured lattes, cappuccinos, affogatos, and even hot chocolates.

The non-alcoholic Baileys flavoured iced latte is a personal fav of mine. Comforting, decadent, and oh so festive.

… At-home karaoke

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for a surefire way to entertain the family for the entire festive season, don’t worry, we got you.

Three.ie’s Majority PS100 Party Speaker delivers powerful sound, light shows, and even its very own karaoke setting.

You’ll have ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ on repeat night after night…

If there’s a better way to spend twixmas, we’d love to hear about it.
