Last year I brought you my gift guide for hikers and adventurers and my blogging equipment list but this year my Christmas shopping is going to be a little different. I’ve decided to order a lot of my gifts this year from Irish artists for many reasons. In this blog post I’m going to show you some of my favourite Irish artists and tell you a little bit about why I love them. Jam Art Factory is an independent gallery and design shop dedicated to showcasing Irish talent.

The Celtic Routes is made up of three Irish coastal counties; Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford, and its Welsh counterparts across the Irish Sea – Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. With lush rolling countryside, long unspoilt beaches, all framed by dramatic mountain ranges, the Welsh and Irish counties of the Celtic Routes are recognised as being almost mirror images of each other, gazing out across the Irish Sea. Now that you know a bit more about the Celtic Routes, let’s take a look at 12 stunning locations from across Wales and Ireland where you can discover the sights, sounds and stories that have shaped these beautiful parts of the world. To start planning your trip across the Celtic Routes, go to celticroutes.info for more information and inspiration and follow Celtic Routes on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

So, I thought now would be as good a time as any to tell you all about the Ski+Rock festival in Söll, Austria which I was lucky enough to experience at the start of this year. Ski+Rock is a brand new annual ski and music festival taking place in Söll, Austria. Das Vidum serves a lovely rum hot chocolate and has a great view of the Ski+Rock stage. Personally I flew Dublin to Munich direct with Aer Lingus and used Four Seasons airport transfer service which was pretty handy once I found the transfer desk downstairs

Of course, aside from their own brand they also stock Simply Be, New Look, River Island, Figleaves, South Beach and plenty more with lots of size options and curve/plus lines. They don’t assume that a size 18 UK won’t want a thong bikini bottom and a plunge bikini top, they offer the option to all sizes in most designs. However, I would buy their high cut cheeky bikini bottoms in EVERY COLOUR IMAGINABLE – perfect fit, perfect material. They do bust sizes from 30 up to 44G. Everything they sell is designed to support and optimize curves and make the wearer feel confident, comfortable and absolutely beautiful.
