We launched the new Yantra Acupressure Mat from Lifes2good yesterday with a media event at The Conrad Hotel, Dublin.
As models Sarah Kavanagh and Nadia Forde got to grips with the mat for our photocall, Stress Management Consultant and Professional Mentor, Sarah Bird, held one-on-one sessions with key media to discuss stress management techniques. Each journalist got to trial the mat and experience the healing art of acupressure for themselves.

When it comes to blogging in Ireland Beaut.ie is a real pro. Following on from our recent post about bloggers being the new literati , we attended the launch of the their new book “The Beaut.ie Guide to Gorgeous” in Brown Thomas’s beauty hall on Saturday. It was mobbed – the Irish female is obviously clamouring for objective advice on what are the best beauty products. It is good fun read and would make an excellent Christmas gift.
