Rosie is one of the models of the moment, currently working for M&S as part of their lingerie campaign.

Speaking with The Covetuer, Rosie gave a candid glimpse into her amazing wardrobe and spoke about becoming a model saying: “I interned at a modelling agency when I was 15. I wanted to go to college and study fashion and design … however I just ended up making cups of tea and photocopying! One day, one of the agents asked me if I’d ever consider modelling … the rest is history!”

The model also spoke about her skin regime, saying that she cleanses, tones and moisturises “at least twice daily”.

Nothing gets us in the mood like a divine strawberry treat.

This timeless snack will have both you and your other half in loving moods for the day. If you want to be cheesy about it, you can even take turns feeding one another – too corny? Maybe a bit!

What you need:

  • Strawberries
  • Cream cheese

What to need to do:

  1. Wash the strawberries and cut off the top part.
  2. Use a small scoop to create a hollow space in the middle of each fruit.
  3. Cut off the lower part so that the strawberries can stand alone on a plate or platter.
  4. Put some cream cheese in a piping bag fill the strawberries up.
  5. Enjoy.

Kitchen appliances don’t exactly rank high on our wish list, but it looks like they’re what nearly a quarter of women are looking to get this Valentine’s day.

A poll showed that a juicer was listed as number one for a surprising number of women, followed by a coffee maker, which came in at second place.

The survey found that many women were opting for technology-based presents over the traditional chocolate and roses.

These aren’t exactly symbols of love, but relationship expert Amy Van Doren thinks that the most personal gifts get the best response because the show how much a man really knows about you.

“’Nothing says ‘I love you’ better than picking a gift that demonstrates, ‘I listen to you,'” she said.

So if you get a box of chocolates and a bunch of roses this year, you might want to re-evaluate the relationship you have with your ‘significant other’.

Women are generally known to over think and over analyse everything, but now it looks like things have escalated to another level. It seems like our brains just never stop working – even when in bed.

A new study showed that women bring the hustle and bustle of daily activities with them to the bedroom and we’re left tossing and turning for most of the night.

The study showed that the average person gets up to 8 hours and 41 minutes in bed, but almost two hours of that is spent fretting.

Although women generally spend more time in bed than men do, that fact that we’re prone to all kinds of worries means that we spend most of the time counting sheep rather than getting some beauty sleep.

It’s bad enough that we don’t get enough sleep as it is, but the worse part about the findings  is that women are willing to lose sleep over their significant other as well – maybe we ought to be a bit more selfish, don’t you think?

The worst part of exercising in the rain and cold is actually finding the motivation to step outside.

Unfortunately, the Irish weather is not one for too many clear skies so it’s time to beat the weather blues and get back out there.

Dress appropriately
Remember: “there is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing.” So, with that in mind, layer up before going out. Gloves, head band and base layer are great but don’t forget that your body will warm up as you train so leave the scarf at home.

Check the weather
Just because it’s a mini storm out now doesn’t mean it will still be there later. If things are to clear up just push your training back a few hours. Simple.

Use your head
Unless your usual route is covered in ice or there is a hurricane blowing outside, you should be fine; but, always think about where you are going and change it to suit the weather.

If all else fails…
If it’s not clearing and you really can’t bear to get wet, head to a gym. You will feel so much better for making the effort.

Now ignore the snow and get out there.
