SWEET TREATS
Shopping plus chocolate. Honestly, does it get better than this? The Love Galaxy event in the Dundrum Town Centre this forthcoming bank holiday weekend marries the two to great effect with the launch of a new smoother Galaxy. To celebrate, there are relaxing treatments, free of charge, from 10am to 7pm on 27 to 29 October at level one in Dundrum Town Centre . . . and lots and lots of free chocolate. Be warned: you will need to book at the registration area for your treatment. We have five hampers, crammed with plenty of Galaxy chocolate and chocolate-themed treats, including candles and beauty products, to give away. Email your name, address and contact details to hotshots@tribune. ie to be in with a chance to win one.

OBSCURE SHOTS
It might look like a toy but fans of the Oktomat camera . . . count us amongst those . . . love the animated sequences it produces. 'Don't think, just shoot' is the motto of the lomography school of photography, from where the Oktomat hails, and its eight lenses capture the images on a single 35mm frame, the entire thing taking about two-and-a-half seconds to produce. You can't change the film exposure and the lens is fixed focus but you can get the film processed anywhere and the results are unusual to say the least. Visit www. lomography. com to up load your shots and share tips with other enthusiasts. Get your Oktomat from Urban Outfitters, 51.
