So you’ve got over the first month of
the year. You’ve made your resolutions
(and probably broken them by now!),
taken down the last
of the Christmas
decorations, and
finished off the last
tin of roses! So what
to do next?
Well remake those new year’s
resolutions, get fit even if its just a
brisk walk every day, join a sports
club or gym.
Studies show
that the more
active you are
you feel more
energised and
set to tackle
anything. Getting fit doesn’t cost a
fortune all you need is a good pair of
runners, comfortable clothes, the park
and your laughing!
February is also known as the most
romantic month, because of Valentines
day. So if your attached treat the one
you love or if you’re not, treat yourself!
The perfect gift could be a hamper of
all the favourite things of your partner.
It doesn’t always have to be lavish!

Coral Cable Knit Top €35
Awear
I’m loving the revival of
the cable knit. All those
years we fought with
our mammy’s over that
jumper! Nowadays it
comes in all colours and
more figure hugging. Get
one in a pastel shade to
brighten up your spring
wardrobe.
The quilted jacket has
become more mainstream
in the last year or two. Its
light but warm a perfect
transition jacket to bring
you from winter into spring.
Team it with a pair of
skinnys and riding boots
for that country manor
look!
Yellow is always a
favourite colour of mine.
It instantly makes you
feel a bit brighter. Pastels
are going to be big this
year so if your not quite
brave enough for canary
yellow try it in Lemon.
Accessorise that winter
coat with a shot of yellow
to bring you from winter
to spring!
Want it! Need it!

You can never have too many bags (well that’s
what I say!) and the bigger the better in my
opinion. When it comes to stylish bags you can’t
go wrong with a Nica bag. They come in a variety
of colours and sizes. This month i’m loving
the Nica Koper Tote Bag which we featured in
our fashion shoot. Its a classic tote shape for
e v e r y d a y
use and
its roomy
enough to
hold a laptop
or doubles
up as an
o v e r n i g h t

AsparagusAn English herbalist from the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper, wrote that
asparagus “stirs up lust in man and woman.” In 19th century France, bridegrooms
were served three courses of the sexy spears at their prenuptial dinners.
Apparently for a good reason: asparagus is a great source of potassium, fiber,
vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin and folic acid.
AlmondsThrough antiquity, almonds were regarded
as fertility symbols. According to the
poets and scribes, the aroma of almonds
supposedly arouses passion in females. The
scientists say that almonds provide high doses of vitamin E, magnesium and even
fiber. Therefore, there seems to be something in the almond myths
after all.
AvocadoJust by looking at the shape of avocado, you will see the
reason why it was associated with sexuality. The Aztecs
called the avocado tree, “ahuacuatl”, or “testicle tree.” The
Catholic priests in Spain found this fruit so obscenely sexual
that they forbade it. On the other side, avocado is rich with
folic acid, vitamin B6 and potassium. They are also said to
boost immune system.
BananasOkay, so the shape of a banana
is enough to have it included
in this list, but you’ll also find
that bananas are loaded with
potassium, magnesium and
B vitamins. It also contains chelating minerals and the
bromeliad enzyme, said to enhance the male libido.
BasilNot only will Basil make meals smell and taste better, but it
also has a lot of beneficial effects on human body. Basil has a
fantastic aroma that is said to have an aphrodisiac effect; it is
also very stimulating. Using sweet basil in a pasta sauce will
be sure to get your heart racing! Maybe this explains why
Italians are so romantic!
Food For Love
ChocolatePure chocolate, the king of natural aphrodisiacs, contains a host of compounds including anandamide, the psyochoactive feel-good chemical, and PEA (phenylethylamine), the “love chemical,” which releases dopamine in the pleasure centers of the brain and peaks during orgasm. PEA is said to help induce feelings of excitement, attraction and euphoria. Cacao also contains tryptophan, a key component of the neurotransmitter serotonin known to promote a sense of well-being and relaxation.
Have fun creating!
Are you ready to get in the mood for love? With Valentine’s Day being the perfect opportunity to cook up a romantic meal for your loved one, why
not include one of these “love foods”.

The man in your life deserves a treat too for Valentines! He’s been working hard all year for Brownie points and sure didn’t he get you just what you wanted for Christmas!
Here is a few ideas if your stuck
Tynan’s Bridge House Bar located on Bateman Quay is one of those country local pubs in the heart of the city. Built in 1703 and credited as one of the oldest pubs in Kilkenny, it still retains its original charm and atmosphere.
With Live music providing the entertainment every night during the week, It’s no wonder it’s rated in the top 5 attractions for Kilkenny on Trip Advisor.The quirky inviting facade of Tynan’s greets you as you drive into Kilkenny from John Street and believe me, the interior is just as quirky and interesting. But
what really makes this pub stand out from the rest is the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that greets you when you walk through the double doors. What also greets you from behind the bar is a moustached man that goes by the name of Liam Phelan, a friendly host always ready for a chat. This is one pub that ticks all the boxes.

Medical-micro-needling is a therapeutic tool for the treatment of anti-aging, acne scarring, aged skin, stretch marks, uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
How does medical-micro-needling work?Microneedling is ideal for non-
surgical and non-ablative treatment of
various skin conditions such as aging
(wrinkles, stretching), scarring (acne,
surgical), and hyperpigmentation.
Clinical studies have shown
microneedling to be more effective
than ablative treatments like laser
resurfacing, dermabrasion, and
chemical peel and just as effective
as non-ablative treatments like IPL,
CO2 laser, and Fraxel in stimulating
collagen and elastin production to
thicken the skin thereby erasing
wrinkles and smoothing scars.
Absolute AbsorbencyOur micro-needling rollers uses up
to 540 very fine needles to injure the
skin sufficiently enough to stimulate
collagen/elastin production.
Resulting micro-channels also aid in
infusing clinicare cosmeceuticals for
greater penetration and increasing
overall efficacy. Many clinical studies
have proven that serum absorption is
increased by as much as 1,000 times
when applied with microneedling.
Clinical studies have also shown that
microneedling treatments are more
consistent in increasing the thickness
of the skin than IPL and other
resurfacing treatments.
There are THREE major advantages for medical-micro-needling:
1. Microneedling is revolutionary. It
does the same job that lasers and other
ablative methods by increasing the
production of collagen with no damage
to the protective layer of the skin.
2. Microneedling is effective. In fact,
at least just as effective as lasers, IPL,
Thermage and other ‘machinebased’
treatments, but at a fraction of the cost
to patients and clinics.
3. Microneedling is safe. “Non-surgical
and non-ablative” means ‘forgiving’
and skin-friendly treatments. Patients
experience little pain, very short
downtime, and minimal risk for
complications.

Head down the Butterslip and we are at the end to the right.
From Rose Inn StreetWalk up Kieran Street and we are

Eve Cole loves her small apartment
in Dublin’s city centre. It might
come with the noisy Party People
downstairs and Larry, the handsome
and charming ex-con next door, but
the floor-to-ceiling windows make
it perfect for her job painting fake
masterpieces: Renoirs, Picassos, and
especially Van Goghs. And she’s good
at it. Maybe too good. When eleven
million euro appears in her mother’s
bank account, it turns out that Eve’s
been unwittingly involved in one of
the greatest art frauds in history.
Now she has to figure out a plan to
get her painting back and return the
money, without implicating herself
or her family. Enter neighbour Larry.
Even though he’s turned his back on
his shady past, he’s the only one who
might be able to help her. Will Eve get
her painting back? Or is Larry just
another fake? Eve’s also about to find
out that in love, as well as art, the trick
is knowing when it’s the real deal.
Inspired by Enid Blyton, Martina
Reilly started writing when she was
eight years old and hasn’t stopped
since. At eleven years of age, she
started writing a series entitled
The Gang for the amusement of her
friends. Four years later, she found
herself working on a novel based on a
character from The Gang: Book Four.
This book was published years later as
Livewire, which won an International
White Raven Award and was sold
to Germany, Italy and France. More
teenage books followed, including
Dirt Tracks which won a Bisto Merit
Award and was shortlisted for an
RAI reading award. Martina has been
writing adult fiction for the past ten
years. Something Borrowed, which
tells the story of a woman trying to
trace her birth mother, was long-listed
for an Impac award. She enjoys writing
for the stage too, and many of her
plays have been performed by amateur
dramatic groups. Martina is also a
drama teacher and actress. She lives
in Kildare with her husband and their
two children.
