K Chido | A Mexican Food Truck in Dublin
I’ve been eating Theresa and Gus’ Mexican food for as long as I’ve been living in Dublin – which is over a decade. The couple have been creating tasty Mexican eats long before the burrito buzz hit Ireland, so I was thrilled to get to go and shoot at

A few weeks ago, I spent a dark and rainy Friday shooting the Belfast studio of Abigail Ryan at Conway Mill (lil' action shot here). Luckily, their gorgeous bright textiles and even brighter company made for a lovely day, filled with tea, chats, enormous Belfast baps and a last

These just keep getting better and better. I vividly remember the first lifestyle bloggers meet-up, in Avoca, Malahide. At that point, I barely knew Emily, and had met Julie on and off at photo walks over the years. It was the first time I had met Ciara, and we have

A week of smoothies with Alpro AM
The lovely peeps at Alpro have asked me to take part in their Almond Mornings campaign, and it couldn't have come at a better time. I have to try a different smoothie every day this week, using their new unsweetened almond milk. I love juicing and smoothie-making, but

Link Love
Three weeks in and I fall off my link love wagon! With good reason though, I promise – Ben and I found a house! Between the packing and the move and the switching of the internet (a dark time, my friends) there wasn't much time for blogging. We are,
