REVIEW – Face & Body Aroma Ritual at Ajala Spa (total bliss!)

Review- Ajala Spa face and body aroma ritual at FashionBiteI find myself constantly playing catch-up at the moment – juggling  work commitments/events/friend’s hen do’s/birthdays/weddings/some kind of downtime with the boyfriend/exercise (ok, that’s totally fallen by the way side!) and everything else that seems to be pulling me in all directions.

I’m finding it almost impossible to carve out a spare half hour for myself…I’ve carted my Bikram yoga bag to and from work for the last two weeks and never once made it to the class!

So, the prospect of heading off to the Ajala Spa – in the 5* St.Paul’s Grange hotel – for two and half hours of total relaxation was absolute bliss! Read more

NEW SEASON: Boutique by Jaeger Neon Knitwear

Fluro pop jumpers at Boutique by Jaeger, FashionBite 2I have a serious love of all things neon – fluro pop clutches, slashes of neon on shoes and shots of fluorescent on clothing. So I squealed with delight at Jaeger’s press day last week when I saw these new season neon jumpers in the AW12 Boutique by Jaeger collection.

An alternative to your normal festive season jumpers colours, they would look fab teamed with skinny jeans and some brogues for relaxed weekend wear. You’ll have to wait a few months though, as new season product doesn’t start dropping until June.
