I hesitated about writing this post. Mostly as it feels strange to dive so deeply into personal issues but really when it came down to it, what felt stranger was to let World Mental Health Day go by without acknowledging it here on my blog. Mental health awareness is an issue that is very veryContinue reading “Acknowledging World Mental Health Day”

A tiny slice of …inspiration
I am the type of person who seeks out the newest “self-help” book. I will recreate my life plan in my head after just one episode of Oprah and I have boards spilling at the seams with motivational quotes on Pinterest. Funnily enough, none of it really ever sticks. A couple of daysContinue reading “A tiny slice of …inspiration”
The reading list: August
Last month’s reading list went down a treat so I decided to share Augusts’ picks with you all.

Eye creams for your mid-twenties
1. 2. 3. Ugh… I have officially crossed that line of really having to care and look after my skin. Gone are the face wipes and adhoc double cleansing. Wrinkles are just on the horizon and my resting bitch face isn’t helping the matter at all. After years of constantly ignoring eye cream’s existence IContinue reading “Eye creams for your mid-twenties”
3 sets of PJs cool enough for Beyonce
Even with a wardrobe jammed packed with clothes and Zara’s website on constant auto-refresh, I have to admit that absolutely nothing makes me happier than a good pair of PJS. My usual pair consist of an old baggy band T-shirt and bottoms that are at least 3 sizes too big but every now and againContinue reading “3 sets of PJs cool enough for Beyonce”

The “Just incase” Bag
One of my best qualities (or flaws) is that I hate to be under prepared for anything. I dread being without something, turning up empty-handed, being under or overdressed, the list really does go on. To combat this, I always have a “just in case” bag in no matter what handbag I carry. What isContinue reading “The “Just incase” Bag”
Beautiful little bargain; Essence Lipstick
While it’s all fine and dandy to trawl the floors of Brown Thomas and Space Nk, drooling over stunning Chanel and YSL lipsticks, nothing quite beats a bargain! On a recent Pennys (Primark) trip, I picked up something from the Essence long-lasting lipsticks collection in “01 Coral Calling”. It cost me €1.79 and my expectationsContinue reading “Beautiful little bargain; Essence Lipstick”
