February has been a looooong month, and with payday soon approaching we feel it’s only right that we treat ourselves like the glam royalty that we really are.
Nothing makes us happier than the sheer joy of booking a trip away and getting to retreat from the world for a whole weekend. Maybe treating ourselves to a spa treatment, reading that book we still haven’t gotten around to and clearing the mind of all things work-related.
The only downside is that most of the time we can’t exactly afford to live the luxe life, so thank Christ for those wonderful deal sites that offer fabulous hotel breaks for often half the price.
If you’ve been meaning to explore Ireland – and like us, don’t wanna break the piggy bank doing it, then check out these incredible deals across the country.
