Vegas has always been one of those places on my bucket list but never very high up there. I love an excuse to get dressed up and dance into the early hours, but the thoughts of doing it for several days in a row make my head hurt. (Things change in your mid-twenties!) That being said, when a few friends…
Some people hate coffee and I was one of them. In the last year or two, I have become obsessed with getting my daily caffeine fix! But not just with a traditional cuppa, I drink my coffee in all sorts of ways, deepening on the occasion or how exhausted I am. I’ve learned that just a few simple ingredients can shake…
If I had a dollar for every time I heard the question “what visa are you on?” I’d be sitting on a beach in Aruba sipping on frozé posing with pink flamingos right now. When you meet other Irish living in America the conversation moves to visas within minutes. “Hi my name is Sophie, I live in Brooklyn, I work…
As I write this post it is exactly nine days until the first day of Autumn, September 1st. I say this all the time but WHERE has the time gone? Yet another summer is about to end meaning another wardrobe change out is on the cards. Luckily in New York, it doesn’t begin to get cold until October or November…
I have been using my Olympus Pen camera for over a year now and absolutely love it! I have had many people ask me questions and if I would recommend it.

Hardly a day goes by without me receiving a question about New York. When I was asked to write an article about my experience I decided now was the time to start a full series on the topic, here on ShePrevails. I will be covering everything from Visas and apartment hunting, to job searching and dealing with life in general…
Like many, my relationship with my hair has been at times a rather emotional and experiential affair. As a child, I always had long thick hair, like a rope. If I had been smart, I would have left it natural, but like many teenagers, I choose to use my hair as a way to experiment. Many people are surprised when…
Who really loves water? Like gets excited about it and finds themselves saying “I’m craving water right now” Not many… and not me, unless I’m just really thirsty. Water infused with extra properties is much more interesting! Today I’m sharing my favorite drinks for different times in the day. I’m looking at detox teas (not the Instagram kind), water infusions…
Insta envy: When you are jealous of someone’s Instagram page or their theme- The Urban Dictionary. It won’t comes as a surprise but photo editing is behind all Instagram envy. I by no means see my feed as perfection, but over time I have managed to develop my daily editing routine. It continues to change, but right now I have…
Hi again! This week I have another travel related post for you. While home in Ireland, my friends in New York decided to book a last minute trip to Miami for Fourth of July weekend. With four days vacation from work, it would have been too much of a shame not to go away! I returned from Dublin on Wednesday…
