BITS AND PIECES

The tips and tricks that will make you smile this week

ENJOY THE BREW

■ FOR the next four weeks, Bewley’s airstream will trek across Ireland, treating customers to brews and treats. If you fancy winning some fantastic prizes, upload a picture of yourself enjoying a Bewley’s brew in your favourite Irish location on social media, tagging @bewleysireland and #TheGreatBewleysStaycation.

LISTEN UP...

■ FACEBOOK has revealed that the red heart emoji, laughing face with tears of joy emoji and party popper emoji are amongst the most popular emojis used in posts in Ireland. The social media platform has also introduced Soundmojis to Messenger - a new feature that enables users to send short sound clips through emojis. Choose from sounds like chirping crickets, crowds clapping, a punchline drumroll and evil laughter!

FANTASTIC WEATHER

■ BE careful for what you wish for. With the temperatures continuing to soar, cool down this week with a fan from Currys PC World. Top of the range is a the Dyson Cool Smart Air Purifier €549 down from €599.99.

VOGUE STYLE

■ WE are feeling very summery this week and nothing encapsulates the season like a floaty floral maxi dress. We love this one - part of the new collection; Little Mistress by Vogue Williams, €105.40, littlemistress.com

SKIN SAVIOUR

■ IT’S hot, hot, hot and you need to protect your skin. We love Ultra UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 Hydrating, €49, a broad-spectrum SPF 30 daily moisturiser with a boost of hydration. It is a non-whitening fast absorbing formula that’s anti-aging too.
