I LOVE it!

Toyota Ireland - Dream Car Art Contest!

 

Toyota Ireland Launches the Annual

Dream Car Art Contest!

 

Toyota Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of the annual Dream Car Art Contest. The national competition invites budding Irish artists under the age of 16 to ‘dream up’ their car of the future. Nine Irish finalists will be awarded prizes which range from a Nintendo DS, Digital Camera, iPod shuffle and art supply vouchers, as well as the chance to win an unforgettable trip to Japan if they are successful at a global level.

The 2012 competition was extremely successful with over 3,000 entries from around the country. Of the finalists selected to represent Ireland in the global competition, three of them succeeded in reaching the top 20 worldwide.

A panel of three judges, Diana Bunici, RTE presenter, Oliver Whelan, lecturer in Fine Art at NCAD and a representative from Toyota Ireland have the tough job of selecting three finalists in each age category (under 10 years, 10-12 years and 13-15 years) as the national winners. These winners will be announced in March 2012 and will be invited to a special awards ceremony where they will be presented with their prizes and certificates.

Commenting on the launch, Ian Corbett, Toyota Ireland Marketing Operations Manager said, “The competition was a great success last year and we were really impressed with the high level of creativity that we saw in the entries. This year we’re looking forward to building upon this success and shining the spotlight on some of Ireland’s brilliant, undiscovered young artists.”

How to Enter:

Young artists are being asked to draw or paint their vision of a ‘Dream Car’ using standard art materials (digital submissions will not be accepted). All entries must be in colour and include a car and a background or setting on an A3 size paper.

All submissions can be entered by dropping art work into an Authorised Toyota Dealership or sending it to Toyota Ireland, Killeen Rd, Dublin 12 and clearly mark it ‘Toyota Dream Car Art Contest’. The submission must be accompanied by an entry form which can be downloaded from www.toyota.ie . The contest will be open until February 28th 2013.

The nine Irish winners’ works will go on to compete against international winners for Gold, Silver and Bronze in a global competition with a grand prize of a once-in-a lifetime trip to Japan.

2013 Prizes for each age category:

 

1st Prize – Nintendo DS plus €50 art supply voucher

2nd Prize- Digital Camera plus €50 art supply voucher

3rd Prize- iPod Shuffle plus €50 art supply voucher

Milkshake @ Head Dalkey

 Milkshake hair products are a fabulous product range which relatively few people have heard of. This range is only available in salons and you can get your hands on the Milkshake range from Head Hair Salon in Dalkey, Co. Dublin. 

I have been using the Milkshake products for the past month, I am in love and my hair looks great even if I do say so myself! We all need to look after our hair, if you are using straighteners and curling wands on a regular basis, colour damages our hair too and if you are like me and not willing to stop dying your hair, we need to protect from this damage. Just making a couple of changes to your haircare routine will make all the difference.  The best thing about this range is its completely natural ingredients completely free form chemicals, sulphates and salts.  Evey item smells so divine you want to eat it too!

I have been using the Milkshake Argan Range,Milkshake argan is a line of products suitable for every hair type, normal, dry, tired and dull, because it strengthens and hydrates the hair.  It nourishes the hair fibres and gives shine and flexibility, besides combating split ends and dryness.  This complete line of products acts in every phase, Cleansing - Conditioning - Finishing.   Argan oil is a natural oil obtained from the core seed of a tree that grows in Morocco, Argania Spinosa, the oil is extracted through a natural process of cold pressing.  Argan oil has a high content of fatty acids which nourish and repair, it has Strong anti-ageing action and helps protect against UV rays.

I used the argan shampoo, Deep Treatment and the Glistening Argan Oil every time I washed my hair over the past month.

Argan Shampoo
This cleanses delicately, thanks to its unique formula containing argan oil.  Hydrates, conditions and instantly nourishes, eliminating the dreaded frizzy effect leaving the hair soft and bright while preserving the colour. It also cleanses the scalp and protects the structure of your hair, improving damage.

Argan Deep Treatment
This is a deep treatment designed to nourish and eliminate the frizzy effect! It also adds shine, softness and helps with tangles, which is amazing if you have long knotty hair like me! You simply leave in hair for 3-5 mins, comb through and rinse, voila amazing hair!

Glistening Argan Oil
This stuff is magic! Argan oil conditions and nourishes the hair immediately, giving it a healthy soft, bright and voluminous look. With anti-ageing properties helps maintain soft and shiny hair. Add couple drops to your palms and distribute  through your hair, before or after styling.
