What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

It’s happened, lads – the weather has turned.

It’s cold. It’s been raining a lot. It’s not great but look, it had to happen at some stage.

At least we still had plenty of things to enjoy this week. This is them.

… The freshest sheets

If there’s any better feeling than slipping beneath a fresh pair of bed sheets after a long, hard day, I’d love to hear about it.

Especially now that the weather is changing and the air is that little bit crisper, snuggling up in some nice, new sheets is a must.

Cozy Earth are killing the game when it comes to, well, all things cozy.

Their Bamboo sheets are perfect for those of us who run a little hot while sleeping, allowing you feel their cooling properties, while still being able to be super comfortable.

They’ve even been dubbed the “softest sheets in the world,” and after a night sleeping beneath them, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised.

… Maura Higgins x GUESS

Is there anything Maura Higgins can’t do?

She’s currently shooting Dancing With The Stars US. She made it to the final of the Traitors. She’s worked with about 10,000 brands in the past year.

And now, she’s just launched her latest campaign with GUESS Allegra.

The Allegra bag is all about fearlessness, modern femininity, structure, and of course, being an icon – all things that Maura is herself, tbh.

The new SHOWS OFF collection features totes, satchels, and shoulder bags, and yes, we want one of everything.

… Grippy socks

If you’re an active girlie, you need a good pair of grippy socks.

For reformer, for yoga, for just throwing on with a pair of leggings and a hoodie to go grab a coffee, a solid pair of grip socks can make or break an outfit… and keep you steady on your feet, of course.

Irish brand Pilates and Cream’s collection of grippy socks are for the girlies.

They’re cute, they’re stylish, they’re perfect for pilates, or for adding a little something to your corporate outfit.

They’ve also got some of the cutest, Irish themed, grips you’ll ever see. Adore.

… Teeth whitening

… But make it easy. We’d all love whiter teeth. But do we all love the concept of teeth whitening strips? I don’t, anyway.

I find them laborious, uncomfy, sticky, and honestly, just a bit gross. I also never remember to do a full box, which makes them a little bit redundant.

All is not lost though, because Spotlight Oral Care’s Teen Whitening PAP Powder works with any toothpaste, for a natural, brighter smile.

Made with Diamond Powder, PAP and Urea Peroxide for optimum whitening, all you do is dip your toothbrush in and away you go – no fiddling around with packaging, no messing.

The dream dental situation.

…A very tasty twist on the spice bag

We’ll happily try almost any new take on Ireland’s favourite late-night dish, so the new NYX Spice Bag at Clash Bar & Bites was always going to catch our attention.

The restaurant’s South American-inspired version combines crispy chicken fillet and wings with skinny fries, peppers, onions, carrots, coriander and taco seasoning, served with a trio of smoky tomato enchilada, aji verde, and honey and garlic mayo.

At €14.95, it’s a colourful, flavour-packed upgrade to the classic spice bag and the standout of Clash’s bold new menu. Fancy trying it for yourself? Book a table at https://www.nyx-hotels.co.uk/dublin/ or on OpenTable.

We’re already eyeing up the pulled pork tacos and Cajun Margarita for our next visit too. 

….The move towards natural-looking aesthetics

We’ve definitely noticed the move towards more natural-looking treatments lately, and according to Thérapie Clinic, the trend is only growing. Lip flips are now overtaking traditional lip fillers in search interest, offering a softer-looking pout without adding volume.

Instead, a small amount of anti-wrinkle treatment relaxes the muscles around the upper lip to create the appearance of a fuller lip.

The same trend is driving the rise of “injectable skincare”, including treatments like Restylane Skinboosters, which are designed to hydrate, rejuvenate and improve overall skin quality from within rather than alter facial structure.

SkinVive, HArmonyCA, Sunekos Eye Révive and Profhilo are also available at Thérapie Clinic locations nationwide, offering plenty of options for those after healthy, glowing skin with a natural-looking finish.
