Truly Inspired: The Social Media Experiment, Northern Ireland

I spotted this fundraising event on Facebook and had to post it. What a great idea and for a worthy cause too. Best of luck team Lea and Sean:-

Lea and Sean team up to embark on a 400 mile journey from Malin Head to Mizen Head using nothing but their social media contacts!

Taking place on 26th to 28th April 2013, The Social Experiment is a race with a difference. Five teams must make their way from the most northerly point of Ireland to the most southerly over the course of the weekend.

The twist is that they must do this with no money or pre-arranged transport!

The drop off point is Malin Head in County Donegal. They will be equipped with a head cam to record the journey, a survival pack, a smartphone and an iPad with charger. They can only use our social media contacts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc to help us get to Mizen Head in County Cork!!!

Hopefully their social media followers can help them to obtain food, taxi rides and bus passes or whatever it may take to reach their final destination.

Sponsor their adventure - All funds raised go to Cancer Focus Northern Ireland. #SocialExperiment

This month's must buy product - Anti ageing face tan, St Tropez

St Tropez Gradual Tan plus Anti Ageing Face

£22

At Truly Thirty HQ, we are desperate to give this product a go. An anti-ageing and face tan combo - genius! Lifts and firms wrinkles whilst giving your skin a golden bronze glow. A "truly must have" product this spring for us thirty something ladies. Roll on pay day.

Truly meshy jumpers

It's that time of year when we are somewhere in between cold and warm weather - too warm for a chunky wool number but too cold for no wool at all. My favourite purchase this month was Matalan's woolen mesh jumper in navy at only £18. Dilema solved. Wear over a long sleeve top this Spring for a little extra warmth or over a vest on warmer days. Team with skinny jeans and long boots for a smart/classic look. Looks great with a denim skirt or shorts (with or without tights depending on the time of year) for effortless style. Accessorise to your hearts content with cute bags, pumps or boots, festival neck scarfs and sunnies. I love this jumper! It's a great shape and fit - loose fitting enough to cover up wobbly tums but not too baggy. Very comfortable too. I like its ribbed triangular details on the neckline and ribbed cuffs. The short slits at either side of the jumper's ribbed hem makes it lie nicely over jeans. Available in cream, grey, navy and blue. Simple!
