Birthday Musings

Yesterday, the 29th of September was my 19th birthday. It feels odd saying that, 19 sounds so old to me, but then again I can't wait to be 21, strange I know. For this blog post I thought I'd share things I've learnt over the years in my short little life and I hope you enjoy them.

He For She

Today I want to talk about something slightly different from my usual posts, but something I care about just as much as fashion and beauty, in fact I probably care a lot more about this topic. The other day whilst scrolling through Up Worthy, one of my favourite sites, I saw Emma Watson's face pop up and with the title of the video being 'Her Voice Might Tremble, But Emma Watson's Message Is Strong And Clear', I was intrigued.

Macadamia Dupes

Yesterday I went into Lidl and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that they had a Macadamia Oil extract hair care line. Each product is only €1.99 and they have shampoo, conditioner, a hair mask, hair oil and a body butter.

Sunny Shopping OOTD

As Ireland rolls into late September sunny days are hard to come by so I took full opportunity of the gorgeous weather yesterday and wore a dress going shopping. I bought this dress in Penneys/Primark about two weeks ago for €15 and I love it! It's comfy and girly and you can dress it up or down depending on what you're doing.  I paired it with my trusty Chuck Taylor All Star Lo converse in Optical white, I find that these shoes go with just about everything and are so comfy for a long day of shopping.

Coconut Oil 101

During the summer I came across an interesting article talking about coconut oil and how useful it is. Now I'll be honest and say that until I stumbled upon this article I didn't really know the stuff even existed, yeah sure, I've heard of coconut milk and water but not oil!

As I read through the piece I was amazed at how versatile it is and today I thought I'd give you my top ways to use it. I bought my jar in Tesco and although I can't remember the exact price, it definitely wasn't over €5, which for something as purposeful as this is pennies really!

5 Minute Make-Up

Early mornings never get easier no matter how many times that alarm goes off at 7am, so even an extra ten minutes in the warm cocoon of sheets is heaven. Having said that, those extra ten minutes of bliss means sacrificing precious primping time. 

Over the years of early school mornings I've gotten the time it takes to make myself look "awake" and "alive", down significantly and I thought I'd share with you my basic 5 minute make-up routine that I use most days.

The Ultimate Wish-List

Imagine waking up one morning and being a millionaire, just like that! I know, you're thinking the same as I am, if only! I stumbled upon this witty Kate Spade graphic yesterday and it got me thinking, what if money was no object, what would I buy?

I recently started my first year of college and thought I'd share with you some things I find essential to have with me in my rather oversized bag.
