This week’s must do, see & buy

TRY THIS

Is it safe to use weights, to do cardio workouts?

Enter Baby Body Fit, a fantastic DVD for expectant and new mums (the workout is divided in two, pre- and postnatal). It’s a proper, break-a-sweat workout, safe in the knowledge there’s no harm to you or baby.

It’s the brainchild of young mum, Stephanie Sinnott, from Dublin, who, having had her own daughter in 2008, struggled to feel fit and healthy afterwards. The DVD costs €15 from www.babybodyfit.com

USE THIS

Can’t manage that break in the sun this summer? Never mind. We’re loving the new St Tropez Gradual Tan in Shower lotion (€19.99). Forget the days of streaky tans and orange palms.

Apply in the shower, wait three minutes, rinse - and go. It’s a gradual build up (so there’s no risk of turning oompa loopa) to a sunkissed healthy glow. It really is as easy as that.

READ THIS

Hotly anticipated, shrouded in secrecy (global publishers had to travel to London to read the manuscript)... It’s no wonder we’re counting down the hours to July 14 and the release of Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman. It’s the summer read.

WEAR THIS

Want to channel the ladylike strapless look that dominated catwalks, courtesy of Nina Ricci and Oscar de la Renta? Check out this Finders Keepers dress at Brown Thomas.

At €140, it gives you the trend, minutes the designer price tag. We love how the feminine soft pink is juxtaposed with an edgy sculpted fit.
