Weekend Roundup – 10 Things Her.ie Loved This Week

These are a few of our favourite things... this week at least.  ___________________________________ Hot Wheels  Her.ie Ed Michelle spent a few days in Monaco last week (tough life, we know), driving around in this ridiculously sexy car. Meet the new Audi A3 Cabriolet, which Michelle had the pleasure of spinning around Monte Carlo in for a few days. Please note that’s not Michelle in the picture, she’s less manly that that. Honest. Full review on the way, but seriously… how hot is that car? Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells... One of Grace's favourite things about the Christmas season is festive jumpers. So when the following box of craft supplies from 7up came into the office, she was overjoyed. The box contained a Christmas jumper making kit, complete with a maroon woollen jumper, decorative trees, felt, snowflakes and ribbon. Now all that's needed is a little bit of time and some creative genius on Grace's part, which she assures us, she has well covered. A 'Cool' Movie Sue went along to the screening of Disney's new film Frozen and absolutely loved it. The script is really funny but she now claims she also really wants a deer called Sven and a snowman called Olaf in her life. Raise the Brow Rebecca was anxious (to say the least) at the thought of getting her brows threaded (let’s just say the first and only time she got them done was not pleasant) but she thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Elysian Brow Bar in Dublin. Not only was she happy with the end result but she booked her next appointment. Daddy's Girl After a few laborious months of house hunting Cathy has finally found a housemate who will put up with her. As our resident shopaholic she had a million and one things to move from one place to another and her poor Dad was unfortunate enough to be roped into job transporting shoes, bags and clothes around Dublin. Here's to Liam. Rugby Bro for Movember Irish international and Leinster rugby player and dedicated Mo Bro Cian Healy, has joined forces with Movember to create a one of a kind limited edition t-shirt available exclusively in all Life Style Sports stores nationwide and online at lifestylesports.com. The t-shirt, which Cian designed himself is priced at €20 and is in stores now. With a limited run of 1,000, this shirt is sure to be the must have hairy accessory for rugby Mo Bros and Sistas throughout Ireland. All the profits of the shirt go to Movember, which aims to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer initiatives for men in Ireland. Cookbook joy! This week Úna fell in love with Marco Roccasalvo’s new cookery book “Buon Appetito,” so much so that she’s featuring one of his recipes on Her.ie today, so keep an eye out! €1 will from each book will be donated from the sale of each book to the Irish Institute of Clinical Neuroscience (IICN) to fund brain research. Here Comes Your Man Michelle ticked another musical act off her entertainment Bucket List this week when she saw The Pixies play live in Dublin. She made a resolution last year to make a point of seeing the legendary acts touring Ireland that may not play this way again - enjoying their millions in happy retirement. The Pixies are probably cooler than the rest of the list though... so far it has included Elton John, Bruce Springsteen and, um, Billy Joel. Next up is Dolly. Yup, Dolly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvi4iA3PnKE GET TO THE CHOPPER! Sue and Rebecca went along to the Jameson Cult Film Club on Tuesday night to see a special screening of Arnie's Predator. The loudest cheer came when Arnie uttered the line "If it bleeds, we can kill it." Join the Team We were very happy earlier this week to announce that we're adding to the team here at Her.ie and JOE.ie, in all departments! There's a lot of fun to be had in this office, so if you fancy an amazing new gig then check out all the details here!
