Beauty - Make scents

The Abahna range of bathing products encourages an experience that is the antithesis of the morning wake-up shower.

The latest delicious scent is Lilac Rose. From €20 available at Louise Kennedy, 56 Merion Square, Dublin 2. Louisekennedy.com

Fashion - Stylish downtime

Some people do casual attire very well. Others never quite manage it and look like they've slept in their tracksuit. Enter Haute Hippie's jersey sweatshirt with its cool skull motif. Walking the dog? Pottering in the garden? Meandering down the aisles of a German discount store? You'll be stylishly sorted on all fronts. €146.03 from net-a-porter.com

Fashion - Go ahead and jump

It's time to embrace the jumpsuit wholeheartedly. No longer a flash in the fashion pan, it's made a regular appearance on the catwalk for the last few years. Is it easy to wear? Sadly no. The fit has to be great and confidence levels high. But as a show stopping outfit, it's hard to beat. €104 from Warehouse.

Film - Get into the Valentine's mood

Home - A bit of light conversation

A great ceiling lamp should be as much as a conversation piece as it is a source of light and the Fillsta pendant lamp from Ikea (€55) is just that thing. It's striking, yet will fit most décor schemes and gives off a diffused soft light, perfect for cosying up your house.
