Dublin
I kind of wanted to call this post ‘but, oh, the days are soft’ in honour of this video made by Visit Dublin. I’ve been invited – along with some of my favourite bloggers – to talk about Dublin. Well, more specifically, my Dublin. Which is quite the treat, as it

As I’ve written before, I’m on a mission to live a little cleaner, eat healthier and, in general, clean my act right up. So when Alpro approached me about their #alprotops campaign, I thought it would be a cool opportunity to team up with them again and talk

I loved shooting and writing this story for beautiful Weirs Magazine. Ben and I spent a morning hanging our at the Weirs service department, chatting to craftsmen who, between them, have over 85 years of experience in the care and repair of watches. I loved how the natural light streamed

The weeks have been a blur. What am I saying? The months have been a blur. Editing a fourth magazine in as many months, while squeezing in photo editing and a girly trip to Lisbon at the weekends, it feels like I'm only now coming back up for

Ever spot a theme or pattern and then suddenly it's everywhere? Maybe it's because I'm going on holidays this weekend, but I keep seeing plane windows in my online travels. Above: Beautiful window seat snapshot from Max and Friends. Below: Airplane window paintings by

Narrow, cobble-stone alleys, swaying, rickety trams, delicious, gooey custard-filled pastries, historic squares, pastel buildings covered in colourful decorative tiles, sunny days on the beach and loud, noisy, messy, joyful nights in the winding streets of the Bairro Alto – Lisbon completely charmed us. Three tired girls, one buzzing city, four brilliant

Do you use 8tracks? I discovered it through Susannah Conway (who has some great mixes). If compilation tapes had an online home, this would be it. I love how people create mixes for all sorts of reasons – there are workouts mixes, mediation mixes, productivity mixes, love mixes, and more. It&

A few months ago, I decided that I wanted to do something about my health, my energy, my fitness. I'm a terrible woman for taking too much on, and getting wrapped up in a project with little consideration to whether or not my brain and body can actually

"This is 99% Invisible. I'm Roman Mars." These words bring me joy. Actual joy. They're the opening lines of my favourite podcast, 99% Invisible. And when I hear them, I know that the next 15-20 minutes are going to be great; engaging, moving, funny,

I stumbled across illustrator Sarah Walsh while on a late-night Pinterest binge, and was instantly drawn to the sweet, whimsical portraits in her Girly series, which you can buy on Etsy. Not only that, she also has a circus colouring book, and a Day of the Dead one too. A

As the summer draws to a close, I can't help but look back to the very beginning of it. Long walks, lunch on the edge of a cliff, incredible dry stone walls, and weather warmer than I ever expected – Ben and I visited Inis Meáin, and it was
