Podcasts have been around for a very long time, Apple’s podcast app first appeared on the iPod in 2005 and no one really knew what to do with it. Like many people of my generation, I lost my podcast virginity to Serial, the murder investigation that tried to figure out where a high-school kid was for an hour after school…
Social media is overwhelming and competitive at the best of times. Algorithms are used to create a better user experience, although many argue they do the opposite. The purpose of algorithms is to show users the best and most relevant content. Brands and online personalities (I hate the term influencer) are left running in circles trying to keep up with the…
I have typical Irish skin. Pale with freckles, likely to burn in the sun, before returning to white again. Never getting much of a tan at all.

While most of us can’t detect the notes of charcoal and asparagus of a wine on our palate (sue us), we can usually taste the difference between a €6 bottle and a €100 bottle. Well, I’ve discovered a little yet mighty trick to turn that cheapie bottle into a special-occasion bottle in 30 seconds with little effort! You probably already…
Some people are practical about their makeup with one type of foundation, one bronzer one mascara, etc etc.. And then there are people like moi who have several products of the same type for all possible occasions. My favourite type of makeup is that full coverage “I’m going out and I’m going to spend an hour on my face” kinda look. For the…
