It's Kinsale Arts week and I decided to check out one of their installations by the water called 'The Sweat Oratory'. It's the most beautiful temporary Sauna, heated with hot stones and steamed with water. 
I went for a dip in the ocean, sauna, dip in the ocean, sauna, repeat. What a way to boost your metabolism and detox! It was so relaxing to sit in the heat listening to the waves lapping outside. Sheer Bliss!
You can find more details here and it's open until Sunday. It was such a beautiful evening and I enjoyed watching the sun set as I dried off.
The water in Ireland is warmer than you think this time of year, especially after the wonderful Indian Summer we have had. Top Tip: just jump in, head and all, get the whole body wet and you'll soon start to warm up. Don't mind your wet suits!
I'm a big fan of swimming in the sea and I am so fortunate I've never lived more than 30 minutes from the ocean. It's one or Ireland's greatest resources and in most locations the water is pollution free and fresh as can be. The salt and sea weed is amazing for your skin (people pay top dollar for these treatments in spas!) and it just makes you feel so good. It makes you feel alive!
In fact I love the ocean so much myself and my husband decided to go for a swim with all our friends on the morning of our wedding. We got married in Dingle on 29th of December, just after one of the worst storms the town had in a century. Now that was refreshing!

When I came home from the Sauna last night I cooked some fresh salmon (I always leave the skin on, it's where all the goodness is, sear it in some Grassfed Butter like Kerrygold full fat and it tastes delicious). Season with some freshly ground black pepper. I had this with white rice cooked with organic courgette and spring onions. Tasty!
I cooked enough for two so I have a quick and easy lunch today. It's all about the preparation!
