Happy Friday!

The sun is out, the weather isn’t crap, and we’ve got a few days off.

To celebrate, here’s everything we’ve been loving this week. Enjoy.

I’m a big skincare girlie now, and if there’s one thing I can’t get enough of, it’s a gorgeous, restoring masque (or mask, if you will).

I was recently introduced to UK based brand Dr David Jack, and his ever-growing range of performance driven skincare.

His Yellow Peel Pigment Correcting Mask combats pigmentation, and visibly diminishes dark spots for a clear, even complexion. You use this mask every week, meaning I’ve got a new favourite step to my skincare routine. Hooray!

Dr David Jack has a new popup in Dublin’s The Westbury hotel right now, so if you’re looking to book in for a next level facial, you know what to do.

Editorial intern Emma is loving… A light foundation

Now that the weather is warming up, a lightweight skin tint such as the Fenty Blurring Skin Tint is a beauty must for me. It smooths complexion and is a buildable light to medium coverage for coming into the warmer months.

Coming in 25 shade options, the Fenty Skint Tint is perfect for a natural no-makeup makeup look.

It is humidity, sweat and transfer-resistant, and perfect to wear day-to-day. It’s the ideal grab and go product, simply cleanse your skin and apply with a brush or fingers for an effortlessly put together look! 

Jade is loving… Gorgeous flowers

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll already have an idea of how you want to treat the mothering figure in your life.

If she’s a fan of flowers, ALDI will have a gorgeous range of blooms in store just in time for the special day.

These fresh, high quality flowers come at unbeatable prices. It makes sense then that ALDI is Ireland’s most popular spot to shop for flowers, with 43.6% of shoppers calling it out as their go to.

Choose from the Barnardo’s Charity Bouquet (€4.99), the Chrysanthemum Bumper Bouquet (€7.99), Mum’s the Word (€19.99), or Timeless Elegance (€19.99).

Just stunning.

Not only is Claddagh a timeless jewellery style, but the pieces represent love and friendship, while also being a statement of Irish heritage.

They’ve also recently seen a boom in popularity, especially on TikTok. With the rise of cultural pride for Ireland, many people have opted for unique ways to express their Irish identity.

The newest trend seems to be the Claddagh hoop earrings. These statement pieces are bold and eye-catching and come in a plethora of designs and metal colours.

Jade is loving… Chicken

Alright, alright, I know. I’m a pescatarian, I don’t eat chicken. I’m also not a coeliac, but my housemate is both of those things and she was only delighted when I came home with a box full of Rosie & Jim chicken products.

The ‘FreeFrom’ 2024 Champion winner, the Irish family-owned brand has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of food lovers, not just in Ireland, but all around Europe. 

They’ve got tenders, goujons, kievs… you name it, they’ve popped some gluten free breadcrumbs on it and made it delicious. Yum.

I have really been enjoying Tate McRae’s newest album, So Close To What. Released last week, it has already peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Supported by the singles of It’s OK, I’m OK, 2 Hands, Sports Car and Revolving Door, this album has gained popularity online and McRae is set to tour her Miss Possessive tour in North America and Europe in 2025.

With features from Flo Milli, The Kid LAROI and Sydney Sweeney (yes, really), the album has been well received by critics and fans alike – give it a listen, sure!
