Clever! There is no denying that this lockdown is bringing out our creative side. With most shops being closed, we are having to learn how to think outside the box and learn how to repurpose things like never before. Yesterday, we reported on how some genius people are reinventing their garden trampolines, turning them into […]

Feel like every morning when you look in the mirror you can almost see your regrowth getting longer and longer? What’s worse? I dread to think about how hard it will be to actually get an appointment with the hairdressers even when they open, as I am envisioning lines out the door – for weeks […]

How strict are YOU on bedtimes?

The past few days’ weather has no doubt seen many of us digging through the attic for our summer clothes and sandals. However, while I would normally always make sure to book myself in for a pedicure before slipping my feet into strappy sandals or flip-flops, that is, of course, out the window this year […]

These are intense days. Different. Full-on. Emotional. Lonely. Weird. But also good, I find. There is a lot about this living slow thing that I have to admit I am actually liking. Many of us are in the same boat, I think, feeling all the feels and going back and forth between feeling stressed and […]

Another work-from-home week looming? Same here. However, having been a freelance journalist on-and-off for years, I like to think I have some experience in the area (although, admittedly, prior to this, I would have done a lot of my ‘from home’ work from a really nice coffee shop of my local Starbucks, to be honest).

Feel like sitting down is pretty much bound to get your baby to start wailing again? You are not alone. So what do you do? Stand up and sway and rock him – it’s almost like an instinct, isn’t it? And guess what? It actually is. “Infants under 6 months of age carried by a […]

Another week, another schedule filled with Zoom meetings and trying not to lose our minds with home-schooling. However, we have realised that just because we are working from home, it doesn’t mean that we should be spending all day in pyjamas. Especially on days when we have to show our faces – and top halves […]

The Easter break is now behind us – hard to believe, isn’t it – and as of Monday, we are back to homeschooling territory. I don’t know about you, but I sure am not ready for that. I had just about now adjusted to life on Easter break, carefully plotting in activities and games and […]

This lockdown feels like the perfect time to try and sort our lives out, no? I mean; while we are waiting for real life to start off again, nothing makes more sense than to get set for a simpler, more organised home life once this global emergency is over, don’t you think? Personally, I am […]

A while ago, back when it was still allowed, we were visiting friends and the kids were all out playing in the garden. It was all fun and games and plenty of giggles and laughs until my friend’s little girl came in crying and declared that someone had pulled her hair. Seconds later my little […]

Desperately trying to plan out some indoor activities to keep your little ones entertained for the next few weeks? We got another one to add to the timetable: Storytime with Michelle Obama.

I love my little boy. He changed all my notions of just being a girl-mama and has made my heart double in size. He is wild and loud and energetic and amazing and he loves me more than I ever imagined one could be loved. Watching him grow, raising him, it is an amazing adventure. […]

Hands in the air – how many times have you shouted out all your kids’ names before getting to the one you actually meant to call for? Yep, me too. It’s like one of those things all of us parents have in common, probably assuming that our brains are that scrambled that getting the name-thing […]

To all the little ‘lockdown babies.’ We are living through some incredibly strange, emotional and unprecedented days right now. The world is so quiet, everyone is in their homes, the news is dominated by scary things and sadness, and it somewhat feels like we are all just holding our breath, waiting to see what happens […]

Having always been pretty obsessed with health and beauty, it was, I guess, a natural fit that I would end up writing about these things as a career too. I have always been curious about the impact our wellbeing and how we feel about ourselves actually has the power to impact so many other areas […]

There is nothing like a head full of bouncy, swishy curls to make your hair day go from bad to reality starlet in 1-2-3. The thing is, though, it can be such a time-consuming task to painstakingly curl your whole hair, with the all section dividing and clipping and actual curling it entails. Sounds familiar? […]

How well are you keeping your hand sanitiser, painkillers and cleaning supplies locked away these days? According to Children’s Health Ireland, the number of children admitted to the emergency departments after accidentally consuming poisons has doubled compared with the same time last year. Consuming any of these items can cause several health issues, such as […]

Despite my best efforts in trying to get my children to feel as passionate as I do about quinoa and kale (I swear, I have tried), they still occasionally fling themselves on the floor in the sweets aisle in Tesco, sobbing because they (claim) they haven’t had a treat in ages, and they need chocolate […]

These are strange days, and it’s almost needless to say we are all learning lots about ourselves during this worldwide lockdown. I mean; I thought I was a bit of a homebody, and, you know, I still would consider myself one, but darn; I do miss going out for brunch and yoga classes and meeting […]

Reached the “I’m booooored” part of this lockdown yet? We feel you, mama – we are there too. However, having some easy activities on hand to keep those little monkeys busy and un-bored is always a God-send.

It’s the land of barbeques and beach time and amazing nature and laid-back lifestyles.

The concept of wellness has exploded over the past couple of years. We all want to be our best selves, live our best lives and look our absolute glowing, most beautiful selves. And why shouldn’t we?

Expert are pretty much in agreement now that when it comes to our health – both mental and physical – it pretty much all begins in the gut. In fact, the human gut contains 10 times more bacteria than all the human cells in the entire body. Wow. So, you know, it’s no wonder, really, […]

I don’t know about you, but my grooming habits have – how shall we put it – relaxed a bit ever since we all got locked in our houses. I mean; who can be bothered with perfect beach waves when you are slobbing around in sweat pants all day anyway. However, as my presence is […]

Plastic is big trouble.

I have always, like most women, I guess, had a bit of an up-and-down relationship with my body. I have never hated any part of it, but on the other hand, there have certainly been times where I felt self-conscious about putting on a bikini, wishing my stomach was tighter or my thighs thinner. However, […]
