A new approach to teeth straightening from clearbraces.ie

Thu, Nov 01, 2012

The benefits of a nice smile are not just skin deep, In a recent study 47 per cent of people chose teeth as the first thing they notice when they meet someone. First impressions are extremely important these days, and teeth which are crooked, crowded, or gapped can affect this.

According to clearbraces.ie many of its 1,000 patients to date commonly mention their increased level of confidence and success after completing the Invisalign treatment. Before commencing treatment a number of patients highlighted their aversion to traditional fixed braces due to the discomfort and appearance of metal brackets and wires.

A very tasty diversion

Thu, Oct 25, 2012

In the village of Oranmore, Péarla na Mara is well worth a detour off the main road. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it has a Mediterranean style menu with a heavy Irish influence and there is a warm welcome from one half of the husband and wife owners, Justyna, at the front of house.

It opens early daily with options such as a full Irish breakfast; a mushroom, ham, and cheese omelette; and a chef’s breakfast of smoked salmon, sautéed spinach, poached free-range eggs, and homemade hollandaise sauce. Even the takeaway breakfast baguette of two sausages, two rashers, and a free-range egg on ciabatta bread is a vast improvement on the garage forecourt version, and at €3.95 isn’t any more expensive.

Style Ilse

I can, hands up, say that during winter I am not very adventurous with colour, despite my preaching of the importance of brightening up your wardrobe. Yep, I am guilty. But of all the colours I think I could deal with, darker shades of blue are completely doable with my existing closet, and honestly, I am talking about navy. Navy is a rich and luxurious shade and is so easy to wear and wear well. My preference is for blazers, which can make any bright colour dress or top look timeless rather than trendy.

Thu, Oct 18, 2012

This interesting aspect of Courthouse Square shows the Town Hall on the left and The Convent of Mercy National School in the distance.
