All About Kombucha Brewing Kit, €39,50
I go through quite a bit of ‘booch, and I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that it tastes all the better when you’ve made it yourself. In theory, I’ll master the art of brewing fast, leaving friends and family speechless at numerous BBQs this summer. – Sarah Gill, Staff Writer, IMAGE.ie
I always have a few SPFs on the go. I’ve never had a preference because I’ve never found one that worked well with make-up… until recently, that is, when my dermatologist recommended the Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 (Tinted) suncream to me. Initially, I thought it was a bit expensive, but I figured I needed to up my skincare game and why not start with potentially nailing the holy grail product that is suncream! I’m so glad she persuaded me to try it because it’s completely worth the hype. My skin is protected and feels silky smooth when I have it on, and the added tint is a bonus in my books. It also happens to be Hailey Bieber’s go-to SPF, which for me is a total sell given how perfect her skin is! It’s now that one product I know I’ll always repurchase! – Sophie Teyssier, Social Media Manager
Zara Home (140 GSM) Washed Linen Duvet Cover, €69.99
Zara Home (160 GSM) Washed Linen Pillowcase, €17.99 – €49.99
In this hot weather, I’m channelling my best coastal grandmother and have taken to wearing all the linen I own. I’m bringing it to the next level thanks to a Zara Home sale – I am now the proud owner of linen bed sheets. They’re a bit pricier than their cotton counterparts, but their softer, more relaxed look, incredible breathability for hot nights and linen’s lighter environmental footprint more than justifies it, in my opinion. – Megan Burns, Deputy Editor, IMAGE, IMAGE interiors
I love the look of this sweet portable wooden swing by Irish eco toy brand Jiminy. It fits in a backpack, so I have fantasies of bucolic afternoons in the park with a picnic, my kiddo swinging away while I read. –Nathalie Marquez-Courtney, Editor, IMAGE Magazine
Sporty & Rich Wellness Hat, €65
There’s something very Carolyn-Bessette-Kennedy-in-a-fleece and Princess-Di-in-bicycle-shorts-and-an-American-ivy-crew about the 90s silhouettes, collegiate fonts and All American athleisure of the brand Sporty & Rich. That’s my only excuse for spending €65 to keep the sun out of my eyes. –Holly O’Neill, Beauty Editor and Acting Digital Editor, IMAGE.ie
Praliné Chocolatiers Summer Hues, €25
Louise Boughton Wrapped in Red and Platform Boots Print, from €20
Signature Edition Popping Candy Dip Dye Taper Candle (Set of 6), €23.95
It feels like all of my friends are getting engaged and moving into new homes at the moment so I have been searching high and low for congratulations/housewarming gifts. These are a few of my most recent purchases. – Simone Kennedy, Senior Marketing Account Executive, IMAGE
Classic Clogs in Citrus, €45.00
Ok, I know I’m going to get flak for this one, but frankly, I don’t care. I’ve long been a supporter of the humble Croc – they were a staple all through my college days and my faux fur-lined ones have already seen me through many a winter. However, the sun’s brief reappearance in the sky has me dreaming of bright colours and this lime green pair just screams summer to me. You know what they say… happy feet, happy humans. – Sarah Finnan, Acting Deputy Digital Editor, IMAGE.ie
NJO Designs Gold Hoop Earring With Star Drop, €130
I have my eye on these gorgeous little 9ct gold star earrings from Irish designer Natasha Obernik. I love her jewellery; it’s well made and equally well priced, and her pieces always match the current mood perfectly. It’s my birthday soon, so I’ll be dropping a few heavy hints! – Lizzie Gore-Grimes, Editor-in-Chief
