There are some things in life that are simply essential!

Okay, we’re not exactly talking kindness, humour, work ethic or health BUT when it comes to the things that make life easier, more adventurous or the things that enhance our natural selves - we think they’re pretty cool too! So, what are the ultimate trends that are worthy of a purchase in 2018? Well here they are: The Vital Coat We want to be comfortable, confident and chic. Invest in high quality, luxury coats and jackets, and don’t be afraid of colour! It shows off creativity and personality.

Shearling jackets and wide leg pants are set to be key trends. Invest in a Dog Umbrella Okay this one’s not for YOU per se, however if you plan on not ALWAYS having to towel dry the ol’ pup after walkies, may we recommend… Heat that Humble Abode Right It’s winter and we’re feeling the chills! - and mustering up the courage to leave our beds is the ultimate bane. What’s the worst possible thing that could happen? Boiler breakdown you say! Yes, it can be a bit of a nightmare situation – so to ensure you’re never stuck and you're able to get it back up and running in no time, sign up to Bord Gáis Energy’s 365 Boiler Care for year-round cover at €15 a month. The Ultimate Skincare SkinCeuticals’ has repeatedly made the top of the list when it comes to skincare. It’s pricey - but it’s also known to work wonders. Plenty swear by their vitamin C serum for flawless skin! Safety Doorbell Ever hear the doorbell ring and think, ‘Who could that be at this hour?!’ Well… find out right from your smartphone. Okay, these kinds of doorbells have been around for a while, but we think they’re SO worth it. Trendy Colour Schemes and Textures Set to be the ultimate in interior trends this year is millennial pink, complimented with berry. Yes, it’s refusing to go away, and we can see why - warm, feminine, fun! There’s a possibility of another gorgeous trend coming along too - providing you enjoy the likes of lavender and lilac. If you're in need of some new furniture, remember velvet is a major key trend. Introduce Natural Elements We ADORE the thought of filling our home with various kinds of luscious green patterned plants. Not only is it superbly en vogue, having the ability to bring the natural landscape into your kitchen or living room, but it also compliments pretty much every colour under the sun! Holidays! One that nobody should ever forget! - save your pennies not for a rainy day, but for a much needed holiday! Working around the clock all through the year means you'll be glad to have the funds to head off on a countryside excursion, to book a yoga retreat, or even to spend time trotting around the globe!
