Charity Single Launch for Teen-Line Ireland!

 
 
teen line
 
On the 3rd of September I was lucky enough to be invited to the The Academy, Middle Abbey Street for the VIP launch of the "Never alone" single for Teen-Line Ireland. Guests included: TV3, Finbarr Furey, Red Hurley Ian Madigan, Ryan Sheridan, JJ Jupiter and Leinster Rugby stars. This was no ordinary fundraising event and as a mother to a teenage boy myself I wanted to show my full support to all involved. 
 
Why Teenline Ireland Started
Darren Bolger was a typical teenager who loved life. He was very caring, loving and showed empathy to others. Darren made two mistakes in his life. His first mistake was that he didn’t talk about how he felt inside. His second mistake was a result of the first; he died by suicide on the 6th April 2003 aged 16 years.  After Darren’s death his mother, Maureen, was shocked to discover the lack of services available for young people in Ireland who may be contemplating suicide or going through difficult times and need someone to talk to. Teenagers expressed this gap in services to Maureen, saying they felt they were in between, too old for one helpline and too young for another. Maureen decided to put her experience and Darren’s death into something positive, hence the foundation of Teen-Line Ireland.
 
Teen-Line Ireland is a FREE-phone service open every day of the week from 8pm to 11pm and all calls are confidential, call 1800 833 634.

Do you ever feel like you just want to chat to someone who will really listen to you? No slagging or jeering.  No fear of what other people might think of you. Maybe there's something bothering you and you want to get it off your chest You might be feeling fed-up, alone, or cut off from the rest of the world. Maybe you feel stuck in-between, too old for some things, too young for others - lost- confused- no where to turn Teen-Line Ireland understands this. That's why we've set up a helpline for young adults... a number you can dial when no-one else will listen or maybe you just don't want to talk to someone who knows you. Teen-Line Ireland's volunteers are ordinary, every-day people who understand that young people need to be heard- they volunteer to listen - they do it because they value young people and care about how they are feeling - and they really want to listen.
 
'Never Alone' is a charity single for Glen Haybyrne and Teen-Line Ireland.  The lyrics and music were written and arranged by Luke Clerkin and Gavin Doyle. Vocals were arranged by Sandra Jane Hyland and it was produced in Block C Studios by Cian Donohue.  The lyrics were written to show those who are suffering in silence that they are not alone and that suicide is not the only escape.

The single features the outstanding vocal and musical talents of young singers and musicians from Tallaght, Celbridge, Greystones and Swords.
Below is a list of all involved:
(Vocals)
Sandra Hyland Gavin Doyle Calvin Hynes Gary Tighe Niamh O'Neill Luke Clerkin Shaunagh Mahon Johnathan Shanley Sean O'Leary Sam Khalaf Laura Dalton Scott Fitzpatrick Ciaran Mulhall
(Musicians)
Sean Wazzer ( Percussion ) Gavin Doyle (Piano) Liam McDonnell (Guitar) Dave Tynan (Guitar) Mikey Hyland (Guitar) Jay Manassaro (Bass)
Lou Dearsley (Cello)

About Mane n’ Tail
Developed in New Jersey 40 years ago, Mane‘n Tail started life as a horse grooming product which delivered high gloss, increased nourishment, and stronger hair growth in the animals.
Clever horse owners tried Mane‘n Tail on their own hair, and soon discovered that with just the tiniest amount of this ultra-rich formula, they too enjoyed outstanding results and amazing improvement in dry and damaged hair.  Packaging on the ‘original’ Mane‘n Tail hair-care range hasn’t changed, with galloping horses to the fore on functional blue and yellow packs.  This marketing decision emphasises the fact that the rich, highly effective formula hasn’t changed either, and forty years later still promises luxuriously soft hair at a great value price.

Small Application Big Results!
Horse hair is five times stronger than human hair, so Mane‘n Tail is very concentrated and takes just a small application for long-lasting results.  The shampoos contain high lathering agents, fortified with moisturisers, to leave hair soft and ultra clean.  Protein enriched conditioners helps nourish and aid growth, leaving hair lustrous and silky.  Priced from just €6.95 for regular 355ml shampoo and conditioner, Mane‘n Tail is now available in pharmacies nationwide in Ireland.

Achieve DREAM CURLS this Autumn!




MAKING AUTUMNAL WAVES WITH JOHN FRIEDA® FRIZZ-EASE® DREAM CURLS

Create the ultimate Autumnal style quickly and easily at home!


Are you fed up of having to get up extra early to style your hair before work? Fear not, the professionals at John Frieda® have given us the insider tips on how to create the ultimate effortless style this Autumn, ensuring your tresses are on trend in a few quick steps using John Frieda® products and your hair dryer.

Jake Davis, John Frieda stylist, says: “I use the John Frieda® Frizz-Ease® range to achieve the hottest transitional Autumn styles and to protect hair from frizz-inducing weather. Soft flowing waves are such an easy and cool look to wear during the Autumn months and they’re quick and easy to create at home.'

To ensure your hair is the fastest part of your morning routine, protect and prep your hair the night before using the John Frieda® Frizz-Ease® Dream Curls shampoo and conditioner. Apply the John Frieda® Frizz-Ease® Original Serum to towel dried hair and then rough dry with your dryer.

“Once prepped, creating the look is easy,” says Jake. “Take the hair into two equal sections and twist each section into two separate buns, securing with hair grips. Allow to dry naturally during the course of the evening. In the morning, simply remove the grips to reveal beautiful, soft, tousled waves. Use your fingers to comb through, softly scrunching the ends for extra texture and movement.”

A final tip from Jake: “To further define the curl, simply take big sections and randomly curl with a hot iron. The important thing to remember is the bigger the section and the bigger the size of the curling iron, the looser the curl will be.”

Let us know how you get on! Love Forever Fabulous xxx
