The hair product
Once again, we've opted for a cabin bag only on our travels and then ended up stressing for days about which beauty bits to leave behind.
It's given us a whole new appreciation for Modern Hairspray by Sam McKnight, a stellar multi-use product that offers heat protection up to 230C, as well as a fine hairspray that can be used for curling, straightening, and taming flyaways.
The 50ml is perfect for travel. €14.

The exhibition
Dublin City Council's LAB Gallery has just opened its latest exhibition, 'What does it mean to know?'
Magdalene laundries may be closed now, but their legacy lingers and this new work asks whether we, as Irish people, have reckoned with this painful past.
Irish artists Ethna Rose O'Regan and Sinéad McCann, have worked in collaboration with writer and sociologist Louise Brangan to produce two new artworks: No babies were born there, a large-scale sculptural text work, and I'm still there, a light and sound installation.
O'Regan's photographic series, 'After Magdalene' (2006-2009), was made in the last of the Magdalene laundries on Seán McDermott St, which officially closed in 1996 and is, poignantly, mere minutes from The Lab Gallery.
During this exhibition, the artists involved and the Dublin City Council staff at the Lab will be sensitive to and supportive of any patron who may find the exhibit or experience distressing in any way.
From June 12 to July 26, The LAB Gallery, Foley St, Dublin 1, Monday to Saturday 10-6pm.
Lough Key Forest Park, the home of Night and Day festival.
The festival
Roscommon County Council has happily confirmed the return of the Night and Day Festival, a three-day outdoor music festival in lovely, leafy Lough Key Forest and Activity Park.
From June 27 to 29, the festival forms part of Roscommon's outdoor recreation campaign, Breathe in Roscommon, which celebrates the county's natural beauty and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure in Ireland's Hidden Heartlands.
This year, there's a new wellness area alongside a musical bill that includes José González, KT Tunstall, Paul Brady, The Wailers, The Stunning, Lisa Hannigan, Sultans of Ping, Adwaith, and Fionn Regan among others.

A viral video on TikTok has seen a restaurant employee at Shadows restaurant in Marmaris cook an egg on the street. The employee declared it was 42C and insisted there was 'no oil' in the pan, with onlookers going wild. Turkey has been ravaged by wildfires over the last few days following intense heat across its western coast.
