KBC WedFest 2017

I'm delighted to annouce that THE TEMPLE WOLF will be hosting a stand at this year's KBC WedFest.  This event is run by an Irish company called Green Shoes Events.  #kbcwedfest2017 is an alternative wedding festival, focused on creating the day you want outside of the traditional cookie-cutter template. The event celebrates individuality and highlights the number of options for couples out there who don’t want to go down the traditional wedding route. The aim of the event is to help couples to plan the day they really want, that reflects their personalities, their tastes and their story, in THEIR way. Even though I'm not a bride myself (why won't anyone love me??!!), I find myself getting more and more...

Blessed in Blessington!

Last weekend myself and da fella took a trip out to Blessington for a Sunday walk. I dragged him off the couch, threw him in the car and off we went. After a recommendation from a friend, we headed toward the Avon Rí hotel where the walk begins. Famished after our long journey of 20 minutes, we headed straight for the restaurant where we (I) decided to sit outside. The view was STUNNING! (Sozzzy, don't have a pic!) After about 15 minutes of pretending we didn't have goosebumps on every inch of our bodies and that the arrival of a rather loud group of children and their entourage didn't bother us, we headed back inside. The food was okay... There was...

Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream Review

Although I'm a mad one for the aul make up, I have never done a product review before. So the fact that I AM doing one says a lot for this product. I decided to jump on to the matte lipstick bandwagon (rather late, I know). Rather than go bananas in Boots as I usually do, I decided to act a bit more sensible and try some products out before buying. After swatching a few different brands on my hand, I defied natural law and pulled myself out of Boots with nothing. Yes, your applause and praise is accepted.  I noticed that while the majority of other lip creams rubbed off on to my clothes, bags, white couch etc. as the...

Going Vegetarian

I'm sick this week. I've missed two days of work.  Why am I beginning a 'going vegetarian' blog with this information you might ask? Those of you who are vegetarian (or even more so, if you are vegan!) might already have twigged the connection. I feel pressure (even if it just pressure I put on myself) to be the constant picture of health. At the gym, and I know my boyfriend will roll his eyes when he reads this, I push myself extra hard to lift that extra weight or do the 50th (oh yeh, it's definitely 50 I do every time...) sit up, even when I'm at breaking point. As a vegetarian you are up against the constant question...
