Irish Hotel Prices Still Falling Despite Global Rates Stabilising
According to the Hotels.com Hotel Price Index, the price of Irish hotel rooms fell an additional 4% in the first six months of 2010. This is in addition to the massive drop of 21% experienced in 2009. While the fall of 4% in 2010 shows a vast improvement in the outlook compared to 2009, it lags behind the global recovery with global hotel prices actually increasing by 2% in the first half of 2010.
This should not come as too much of a shock to any of us as the Irish economy as a whole is recovering slower than many of our international counterparts.
The report on Hotel prices makes for very interesting reading. With an average room rate of €79, Ireland is now ranked as the least expensive destination in Western Europe and is beaten on price only by the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary in Europe as a whole.

DEBT PROBLEMS
Q - We bought our home 3 years ago with a 92% loan, fortunately a tracker ( 1.1% over ECB) and interest only for the first 5 years. My partner lost her job and now we are finding the repayments and other debts difficult to meet. We are now in negative equity and wonder should we just hand the keys back. We have one child aged 4 and we are seriously thinking of emigrating. Advice ? Jimmy - Swords
A - I empathise with your situation. All lending is based on the ability to repay and while you owe more than your home is worth ( negative equity ) until your partner lost her job, you had that ability to repay this loan and therefore the negative equity issue did not matter so much. I believe, as NAMA does, that values will return in time - when precisely though is the question. Meanwhile, income is your number one asset so your top priority should be to obtain employment for your partner so that you can resume that ability to repay your mortgage. I would approach your lender and look for a reduction in those interest payments even for 6 months. To do this, you will need to draw up a comprehensive income and expenditure statement. Bear in mind, if expenditure does exceeds income, you have two choices - earn more or cut costs especially as your borrowing ability would at this stage be negligible. Lenders know they cannot "make a silk purse out of sow's ear" and are becoming more amenable to practical solutions. Emigrating with your child, in my view, is not the solution - we need to face our responsibilities and manage our way through them rather than run away. Keep positive.

Would you like to cut down the time you spend styling your hair? Now you can with Keratin Straightening better know as a 12 Week Blow Dry.

The Global Keratin Treatment with Juvexin is formulated to straighten the hair and leave it shiny, silky and manageable. It is specifically formulated as a revitalizing and rejuvenating Keratin treatment that eliminates frizz and curls (similar to the Brazilian Treatment). It includes Juvexin, which is a naturally derived protein similar to the structure of hair, which bonds to the surface and penetrates strands.

The Secret is out. How females in Morocco are blessed with great hair, Yes It's Moroccan oil.
Due to our busy lifestyles most women do not get all the required nutrients from the food they eat. And this may also be one of the reasons of dry and frizzy hair. And when that is the case Moroccan oil can prove to be a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals for the hair.
It is worth noting that Moroccan oil has abundant of fatty acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, antioxidants and other nutrients that keep your hair in the most perfect condition. Thus, if you are using some synthetic or other less effective hair products then it is recommended that you must switch over to Moroccan hair care products.
