BITS AND PIECES

The tips and tricks that will change your life this week

GRILL GADGET

FANS of the George Foreman grill will love the Advanced Grill and Melt — the plates are removable and dishwasher safe, making it easier to clean. Even better, you can cook five portions at a time on it too, so it’s family friendly. Get it at harveynorman.ie for €99 and make your weeknights easier.

GET GLAMOROUS

GET some pro make-up tips with Love Island’s Kaz Crossley, who will be in Dublin’s Dundrum Town Centre this Saturday at 11am. Kaz launches the new Inglot All Covered Collection with a live make-up demo – and the first 50 customers there will receive a free gift! See inglot.ie

GIN AND FIN

THIS Christmas, why not try something a little special with a very Irish flavour. Tesco has infused Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin into its salmon side, and the results are absolutely delicious. This is the ideal way to make any party stand out.

IN YOUR EAR

HERE’S a pretty pair of earrings to take you through chilly November and on into party season — designed and crafted made by the talented Cara Sturgess of Loinnir Jewellery, they are perfect for an elegant date night. These are her Tumulus Drop earrings in yellow gold, €110. See loinnirjewellery.com for more of her work.
