A blazer, €26, longline waistcoat, €18, and tailored skort, €14 (fine when we aren't running around pitches), completes this spring/summer powerhouse. The exhibition Bob Quinn, Best Night Ever, will feature on the grounds of Cork's five-star Castlemartyr Resort. Ireland's biggest art and sculpture event will return to Cork's five-star Castlemartyr Resort this June.

The shampoo Lush's Ginger shampoo, €24 for 275g pot Did you know that, before Lush was born, its founders supplied The Body Shop with some of its most iconic products? Sadly, The Body Shop entered into administration last year, and many fans will have been forced to find alternatives to their favourite products... Well, we've got good news. Lush has now started making products from those recipes it gave away so long ago, which means the return of cult classics such as ginger shampoo and banana conditioner. We picked up the former last week and can happily report a flake-free scalp and shiny, sleek locks. Hurrah!

Can we recommend scrapping your usual cleanser for a formula specifically designed for sensitive eyes? The skin around the eyes is six to 10 times thinner than the rest of our face, so it makes sense that it needs some extra care.

Available in Boots, pharmacies, and opticians. €9.98. The hard iced tea Lay Low iced tea How many of us have returned from a holiday or trip abroad thinking, 'why don't we do that here?' Well, Cian Stanley came back from his J1 in the States with a similar thought and decided to start a business. He's just launched Ireland's first non-sparkling hard iced tea. With 4.5% ABV and just 90 calories a can, it's a sugar-free option for those looking for a lighter alcoholic beverage this summer. Available in peach and lemon varieties, it is stocked in select Dunnes Stores, Centra, Applegreen, and off-licences across the country. €36 per 12 pack. The chocolate The new Twirl White Dipped from Cadbury The Cadbury Twirl is one of the Irish chocolate brand's most iconic bars. Now, it's getting a makeover. The Twirl White Dipped, available for a limited time only, is dunked in velvety smooth white chocolate. It has us pining for the return of the Dream bar... €1.75.

Cadbury to release new Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar
The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Freddos, Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk. Now Cadbury has revealed a new Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar, which is set for release in stores across the UK "soon". The new chocolate is the Cadbury Twirl bar everyone knows and loves, but with a "delicious" twist - it's dipped in white chocolate. A post shared by Cadbury UK (@cadburyuk) Twirl Brand Manager at Mondelez International, Katya Savelieva, said: "Cadbury Twirl has always been a fan favourite, so it's no surprise that limited editions like Cadbury Twirl Orange and Cadbury Twirl Mint had everyone talking. "With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won't want to miss - grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before!" Cadbury fans won't have long to wait for the release of the new Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar (RRP: 99p). Cadbury has revealed the new chocolate will be available to buy in the UK from June 2, 2025. But once they hit shelves, you'll have to be quick, as they will only be available for a limited time. Shoppers have already taken to social media to share their excitement about the new Cadbury Twirl White Dipped chocolate bar. One person, commenting on Cadbury's Instagram post about the new chocolate, said: "Oh yes cannot wait for this." Another added: "Wow wow wow!" A third person commented: "Can't wait to try it. Looks yummy." While a fourth shopper compared the new Twirl to Cadbury's discontinued Flake Snow chocolate bar. They posted: "Omg this reminds of the Snowflake @cadburyuk launched like 24/25 years ago!!" RECOMMENDED READING: Cadbury's Flake Snow chocolate bar was first launched in the UK back in 2000. The bar had a white chocolate flake center, covered in milk chocolate. But it only lasted eight years in the UK, with Cadbury revealing in 2008 the chocolate bar had been discontinued.
