It is every woman’s goal to always look her best all throughout the year, but once we reach the calendar months of March or April, the pressure is double. Summer is an exceptional time for anyone who loves the holidays, vacations, and bikinis.    via As you plan your getaways, here are some tips on how you can get yourself ready for your most beautiful and glamorous summer vacation: Glorious Tresses It’s not only your skin that needs protection from the sun.

Thanks to C's superb travel skills, we have arrived on the beautiful shoreline of Ballynunion Beach! It's like 2-3 hours away from where we live here in Ireland. But before that, we stopped over at Foynes  just to take a sip of the famous Irish coffee. We snacked at O'Regan's Restaurant, a little cafe beside the Foynes Flying Boat Museum. Irish coffee is actually a cocktail consisted of hot coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar stirred in together and topped with a thick cream. The drink was conceived one wintery night in th 1940s when American passengers passed hopped off from a Pan Am flying boat. To warm up the travelers, chef Joe Sheridan added whiskey into their coffees. And this is my order down below. It was the most delicious brownie that have
