After seeing the Barbie movie in cinemas, we’ve gotten carried away with a few new Barbie-themed obsessions. Greta Gerwig’s tale of the iconic doll brought to life has made us fall in love with everything pink, cute and glittery.

Barbie’s wardrobe in the film is a magical sight to behold, and we would do anything to own her outfits and accessories. Whether it be her bright-pink cowboy outfit or her angelic yellow dress, Stereotypical Barbie is a fashion icon!

In particular, we can’t stop thinking about the stunning heart-shaped pendant that Barbie (played by Margot Robbie) wears towards the end of the movie. Not only is it a lovely piece of jewellery, but it also beautifully symbolises the powerful journey that Barbie goes on throughout the film. 

Credit: Barbie / Warner Bros.

Well, luckily for us, the pendant is available in the real world as well as in Barbieland, so every fan can live out their best Barbie dreams!

Eagle-eyed viewers of Barbie have scoured the web and tracked down the origins of the adorable locket. Luxury jewellery retailer Missoma is currently still selling the pendant, available in both a gold and silver finish.

Sadly, with a hefty price tag of £145, not everyone will be able to dip into their pockets to afford it. However, all is not lost, as there is also an incredible dupe for you to get your hands on!

Barbie fans on TikTok have searched high and low for an affordable alternative to Barbie’s pendant, and have come up with an amazing one which has got a considerably lower price tag.

Nicknamed the ‘Dainty Heart Satellite Chain Necklace’, this adorable pendant from Tomm Jewellery has been a hit with Barbie fans, as it looks almost identical to the one that Margot Robbie wears herself – just in a daintier size!

This wonderful dupe is also available in both gold and silver styles, and the best part is that it has a price tag of just £42, making it easy for you to save over £100.

So, as summer begins to draw to a close, why not treat yourself and bring out your inner Barbie? Say hello to your new favourite fashion accessory!

Reducing Waste is a commitment at the core of L’OCCITANE, and a topic that is more prominent now more than ever. Over the last few years, the business has made ambitious targets with regards to reducing plastic consumption and they are well on track to achieve them. By 2025, they aim for 100% of their bottles to be made from 100% recycled PET plastic. 

They are passionate about the reduction of single use plastic and urge customers to reduce their plastic purchases by switching to the more sustainable, refillable options that are available which launched in 2008.

As part of the next step in their eco-conscious journey, L’OCCITANE is excited to announce the relaunch of three of their best-selling eco-refills now housed in a 100% recyclable bottle.*

L’OCCITANE’s refill initiative began back in 1976 when the brand was founded. Olivier Baussan sold his products at markets around Provence and encouraged customers to bring back the glass bottles to be used again; or recycle them at a local glass factory in Nice. Due to the scale of the business and customer complaints about the glass bottles being impractical in bathrooms, L’OCCITANE transitioned to plastic bottles. Today L’OCCITANE encourages customers to refill these bottles where possible. The current L’OCCITANE refill pouches were launched in 2008 and are available in 15 different product lines. The primary benefit of eco-refills is that they use up to an incredible 98% less packaging in comparison to the original containers. This represents a saving of 121 tonnes of plastic in 2018!

“Our multifaceted approach is key to helping us tackle pollution caused by waste, since there is no single miracle cure to the problem. We have put a particular focus on reducing waste, by trying to eliminate unnecessary or single-use packaging. Where packaging is still needed, we will continue to promote a circular economy, using recycled and recyclable materials.”

David Bayard – Packaging R&D Director at L’OCCITANE

L’OCCITANE’S REDUCING WASTE COMMITMENTS

The bottles will be made from 100% recycled plastic by 2025. 100% of our plastic, packaging will be recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. 100% of stores around the world will offer a recycling service by 2025. Eco-design: they have replaced 2 million plastic spatulas with a cardboard equivalent since 2020.

For many years we have infused our Irish products with scents from across the globe, leaning into our love of travel and nomadic spirit to bring unique scents to our customers.

Drew Barrymore has opened up about her thoughts on her children using technology. 

The 50 First Dates star is mum to 10-year-old Olive and nine-year-old Frankie, whom she shares with her ex-husband Will Kopelman.

While chatting about the ‘house rules’ she has in her home, Drew shared her honest opinions on screen time for her two young daughters. 

Speaking to Better Homes & Gardens, Drew admitted she and her daughters spend plenty of time watching TV together, but she’s not keen on iPads for her little ones. 

The 48-year-old explained, “We watch a ton of movies and shows so I’m not judging anyone about screens. But when it comes to my kids, I’m not a huge fan of personal electronics, like iPads”.

“During the pandemic when schools were virtual we were forced into all being on our separate devices and I didn’t like it”.

“Now, I keep the iPads in a locked safe and they only come out for special occasions”.

Barrymore went on to add, “I’d rather that the three of us all pile into my bed and watch together”.

Drew then revealed how becoming a mum changed her opinions on other aspects of her life, including her style in her home.

Safety is now more of a priority for Drew when it comes to decorating different parts of her house.

“Ever since I had children, I can't bear to see a sharp edge in my space. I look at it and think, that corner could take out somebody’s eyeball!”.

“Even my kitchen island has a soft edge. The minute I walked into that room for the first time I said, we need to sand that right down!”, she added. 

Opening up about her home life with her daughters, the Blended actress admitted that their house is not what makes a home, but instead, wherever her children are makes her feel ‘at home’.

“I have a tattoo that says, ‘Home is where we are’, and it’s true. Wherever I am with my girls I feel like I’m at home”.

“Even if we’re just at a restaurant, I pour out the contents of my bag- my camera, my crossword puzzle, my lip balm, my book, a deck of cards- and we’re right at home”.

Designed and made in Ireland, Liwu Jewellery first ‘Coastal Vibes Collection’ represents all that is precious to Áine. The designer explains that the meaning behind the symbols can appeal to customers in different ways, allowing loved ones to express and share special personal sentiment in their own unique way.

The anchor for Áine symbolises home, stability and hope. Where she has dropped her anchor is back home close to where she grew up and where her young family is based. They are her anchor, and what grounds her keeping her steadfast. Áine has created a large and small anchor necklace, as well as earrings and a bracelet. A meaning card accompanies the anchor pieces that says – ‘anchor yourself with people who keep you steady in the storm’.

Another important image is the waves. Every morning Áine takes mindful moments on the beach just watching and listening to the rolling waves. The calming effect the sound and image has on her is profound, so she drew three simple lines to represent the waves and laser cut the image into a simple disc. A meaning card for calm accompanies each piece.

Finally, Liwu has a collection of perfectly imperfect shells from Áine’s morning walks. For years she searched for the perfect shell and never found it. Instead, she has found beautiful broken shells. Just like life, nothing is ever perfect but there is beauty in the imperfect.

“As a native of Camolin, Co Wexford, I always wanted to return to Wexford and live right next to the beach. My dream came through and I have lived beside the sea for 10 years. Over the years I have always had thoughts about a coastal themed collection”, Áine Breen says.

Matching necklaces, earrings and bracelets are all available in the newest Liwu designs, that will be produced in sterling silver, solid 9ct gold, and in gold plated versions. Each piece comes with a meaning card, explaining the symbol and sentiment, and is made by skilled silversmiths in Ireland, using sustainable recycled silver and gold.

Prices for the new silver earrings and bracelets start from €49.00, with silver necklaces from €75.00 in chain lengths of 16 inches/ 40cm to 20 inches/ 48cm. Silver Shell rings are €75.00, while solid gold Shell necklaces on a simple gold link chain are priced at €380.00.

Liwu means ‘gift’, and Liwu Jewellery makes a beautiful gift and a lasting experience.

“The gift of symbolic meaning is always appropriate for people we hold dear”, Áine Breen says.

The collection is available online at www.liwujewellery.com and comes gift-wrapped. It is also stocked in Lu & Mol in Gorey and selected jewellery stores across the country.
