Wicklows Future Looks Green and Keen

It is a rare but happy day when we get excited here at www.thewicklowway.ie, and today folks is one of those days!!

We have been contacted by two very enterprising groups who have great plans for Wicklow and Indeed Ireland.

First up is the soon to be opened Wicklow Hostel situated along the Moyne section of the infamous Wicklow Way Walk. This is an eco  friendly hostel and I forsee amazing times ahead.

Incidentally they need a bit of volunteer help to get the ‘Earthship Wall’ (? I dunno yet what it is but I am signing up!) built in time for the planned opening ( september 2009) and we will have more info on that very soon.

In the meantime check them out on: www.wicklowhostel.ie

Secondly but no less important is the entreprenurial Grainne Sherlock who basically wants to get more Wicklow businesses involved with discount offers for tourists visiting Ireland. The cards are  bought by tourists via her website in the form of a 20 euro discount card.

She works tirelessly promoting the scheme with her many tourism contacts and you, the wicklow business, get more tourists visiting you and therefore buying your goods! and for you its free.

They buy it for a whole year and can plan their trips to avail of whatever applicable discounts they wish to avail of.

Guys – this is a GREAT idea and she has done all the work for you. All you have to do is make an offer to be included! see  here for more explanation than I can offer!! on her website: www.emeralddiscounts.ie

Grainne has a wealth of experience within the Irish Tourism Industry and has many useful contacts which she is utilising.

This , my friends, Is how to suceed in a recession- join up – its FREE!!!!

Tanning for fair Skinned Folks

Being of fair complexion I have found the general fake-tan color to be much too dark for me- so much so that I have avoided it completely until- with an impending wedding day to attend as main bridesmaid and a strange color that would best suit brazilian women I found myself forced as such to put some sort of glow on my skin.

A friend recommended that I try Bliss Beauty in Arklow who apparently gave a very natural light tan if requested. So off I went today after work and met Ashley who was very welcoming and sweet.  I would say most beauty therapists are of calm nature as they need to relax you before you start parading naked in front of them throwing funny shapes on cue! Seriously boys that’s what we do !!!

Anyway, to cut a long story short she was efficient, quick, explained what was going to happen before it did, and the tan is a lovely natural looking light color so I am not feeling too synthetic! ( let’s face it it is strange to paint yourself isn’t it… or is that just me?

Finally we would like to wish Sam and Jim our Congratulations and hope their wedding day is all they dream it to be.

Congratulations guys!!
