Yep, it’s the season for tinsel and tassels and all things sparkly but let’s face it, there’s not much point in spending your hard earned cash on a sparkly number that’ll only work for the next few weeks is there? Nope but don’t get your tinsel in a tangle just yet. I’m suggesting that sequins […]

Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want… it’s to be besties with Emma Bunton. With all the speculation and hype around their reunion tour and now – thankfully! – a Dublin date confirmed, plenty of fans will be going zigazig-ah for the Spice World 2019 tickets early next Thursday morning.  […]

Let me start by saying that I adore my kids. Just like any other parent, I would literally do anything for them. We have three boys ranging in ages from two to seven. They’re, ahem, “spirited” as my mam will politely say (when in reality they’re just being a pain in the arse). I should […]

  Anyone else a sucker for a personalised gift? There’s something a bit special about it; a genuine sense of thoughtfulness. They ordered it with your initials, a date of birth or some level of detail that required more consideration and time. Then there’s the fact that this has been crafted with love and passion, […]

They say never meet your heroes, in my experience, however, this isn’t true. When I look back at the likes of Kate Winslet and Dame Helen Mirren they were the easiest of all my interviewees. They’re just themselves; no bullshit, no lengthy preamble from their ‘people’ beforehand, no strict criteria before I met them. Just […]

My weekender wardrobe this weekend consisted of a mixed bag of styles from a pencil skirt from Divine boutique (gorgeous print and stretchy too!) and an old t-shirt of mine from Calvin Klein. I love to contrast formal pieces with casual ones. It was a look that some loved and others didn’t. The joy of […]

Teachers of Ireland;  you’ve given us a lesson in embracing this spooky season and we’re all so impressed. As I dropped two of my boys to primary school last Friday morning (the last day before their midterm break), I was blown away by the spooktacular spirit amongst all the teachers at the school. From wand-waving […]

It’s a red wine and baked cheese kinda weekend isn’t it? Yep, I’m dreaming of a cosy night in by the fire  and I’m hopeful this red  is the perfect addition! This red is bursting with ripe red-berry fruit and classic Languedoc herbal notes, the Château de Praza is my wine of the week! #wotw […]

I was delighted to partner with Boots Ireland recently and go on an interesting skincare journey. I don’t have any major issues with my skin if I’m honest but with all the makeup I wear for work, it’s nice to feel like your skin is properly cleansed. Also, as a Mum, I don’t have the time […]
