It seemed like everyone and their mother was posting their 2021 round-ups, a highlight reel to sum up all the exciting and glamorous moments of the year that passed. I was no different. Yet, I couldn’t help but compare […] - First Year Diary

- New year, New me, No thank you.
2021 was one hell of a year (hell being the keyword in that sentence), a year that I, like many others, are beyond delighted to see the back of. 2021 was arguably horrendous, beginning to end, as the year started off with the Washington riots, moving into the devastating wildfires, Covid spikes, lockdowns and restrictions, […] - Should Politicians take leadership training before taking office?According to a recent study by LIFT Ireland, 91% of the Irish population believe that politicians should have some form of training before taking public office, ranking them as demonstrating the least leadership in Irish society.

- Beauty Launches 2022
I personally don’t really care much about the whole ‘new year, new me’ thing, I believe what we should aim for is improvement, not re-invention. But what I do enjoy is ‘new year, new products.’ Many brands bring out new product launches with the new year and here is just a collection of the ones […] - Existential or controversial: A Perfect Relationship?
This is what I think: the perfect relationship does exist, but only in your eyes. We grew up watching fairy tales; the beautiful princess being rescued by prince charming. We believed that such a thing existed, we dreamed of being saved by a handsome stranger who we married and lived happily ever after with. We […] - 2022 health resolutions

Tá dul chun cinn suntasach le feiceáil ó thaobh líon na mban atá ag tabhairt faoin sléibhteoireacht agus faoin dreapadóireacht, le blianta beaga anuas.
