Today, I am joined by my sister-in-law and local Fine Gael candidate, Sharon Tolan, in the run-up to our local elections. Although I am not politically minded, every day, I am in awe of the passion and energy this lady has in pursuing the greater good of the local community. Only this morning, I enjoyed a 10km walk with her on a beautiful beach devoid of cars because she was brave

Suzanne Jackson began blogging in her 20's , she went on to be one of Irelands most influential women, building multiple businesses and being a trail blazers for a new breed of inspiring Irish female entrepreneurs. As she now enters her fortieth year, we sit down to chat about all that she has learned over the last 40 years, how she continues to learn more about herself and her

Today, I am joined by Lynsey Bennet, who, with her sisters, Leah and Sarah Bennet, created the Lusso skincare and tanning brand. Lynsey fondly recalls her Mum advising her sisters that once they were armed with red lipstick, they could take on the world, and it was on that basis she created Lusso Tan to empower women of all shapes and sizes to feel more beautiful and confident.

Probably the most misunderstood molecule in skincare, Vitamin A is as vital for healthy skin as oxygen is for life. It is the chief instigator of all events within the skin's cellular matrix, including hyaluronic acid and collagen synthesis. And the greatest myth, in my opinion, is that the more irritating the form is, the better the results. The skin is an organ; just like any

Today, I am joined by the founder of No Hurt No Harm, cruelty-free, vegan, biodegradable, reusable or recyclable health shots. Unless you desire to become a wheat grass farmer or fancy battling fruit flies as you grind beetroot, these pots will provide you with an instant hit of nutritious, dense liquid gold. Sarah introduced me to these little pots of gold around six months ago, a

Over the past 4 weeks we have been working with Environ Skincare TCA peels and the results and experience have us jumping for joy. Never have we seen such a beautiful outcome form such a gentle whisper to the skin. Traditionally know as an aggressive peel , Dr Des Fernandes and the team at Environ have taken their wealth of experience working with peeling systems and stayed true to

I remember the day I looked in the mirror, and it dawned on me that I had been living a lie. I had lived all my life thinking I had my mum's eyes. An eye, I can assure you, that would never require a Blepharoplasty. That day, I realised I had inherited my dad's eyes. It's funny how I loved my mum's brown eyes because they reminded me of her; I never had the same warm feeling when i

Our police force is in crisis, and our criminal justice system has effectively collapsed. The Garda Representative Association has started its protest against roster changes due to kick in next month. This action saw Garda refusing voluntary overtime. Our Garda are over stressed , over worked , overwhelmed and under resourced . Little wonder we are loosing them at a greater rate th

Join us in a heartfelt tribute on the latest episode of Skin Deep by Corinna Tolan. We remember Keeley Durnan and the devastating journey her family endured. After having her symptoms dismissed in Dublin, as something a holiday would cure she found herself in a run-down hospital in Croatia, yet she was shown immense humanity and finally got the scans required to reveal her awful tr

Almost two years ago I was invited to Lutronics head office in London for a LaseMD treatment. I had been looking into RF microneedling devices as there was a buzz on social media about them but also curious about the 1927 nm Thulium Laser. After three days, I was sold.
