I wasn’t expecting my first post of 2018 to be one like this, but I’m just far too opinionated on this topic to not address it. Sorry in advance for the rant, bullying and negativity about blogging played so much on my mind the last two years so I hope posts like this one will open peoples minds a little…
I had high hopes for 2017 and it didn’t disappoint! You know it’s been a good one when you can’t choose a favourite memory because there are too many good ones. I rang in 2017 in New York with new friends that turned into best friends, I found a job in exactly what I wanted to work in with more responsibility…
New York is known for a lot of things and is seen as one of the best places in the world for its food, shopping and bar scene. What you may have overlooked is the extensive range of boutique fitness studios popping up all over the city. Over the last year I have made my way through a long bucket…
One thing I quickly learned when I moved to New York one year ago, was that visiting as a tourist is a completely different experience than living here. The list of comparisons feels endless but here are a few of the main ones that come to mind and a little advice on navigating the city. Take the subway everywhere. Locals don’t…
Money tends to be a taboo topic. People don’t like to discuss what they earn and spend but it’s something I really wanted to know when I was moving to New York. I had no idea what to expect when it came to budgeting and how much I would need. No week is the same but I decided to record…
Makeup Urban Decay Heat Palette You would be hard-pressed to find a girl that has yet to own an Urban Decay palette. I still have the original, it’s the type you always find your way back to. When Urban Decay announced a palette dedicated to red tones I knew I had to have it. I have grown to love using…
The last couple of weeks have been filled with travel and work both of which I am very grateful for and have been really enjoying. I took a slight blog break to focus and enjoy everything without worrying about posting but now I’m back and have lots planned! But first, where have I been? Italy Last week I got to…
There’s nothing like living abroad that will make you appreciate your home. New York is as fast-paced as it gets and when things feel a little too much I sometimes imagine myself living in a cottage in Ireland without WIFI and laptops. Like the cottage from The Holiday, such a calm and cozy home. Now we all know I wouldn’t…
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…
