CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR THE MAKEUP LOVER.

Trying to think of the perfect Christmas Gift can be hard and while Christmas isn't all about the materialistic things, it's aways nice to receive something you will enjoy and maybe wouldn't buy for yourself usually. I'm pretty sure we all know a make up lover so you can't really go wrong getting that person in your life something makeup related, you know they'll use it and if makeup is their passion, they'll get real enjoyment from it.

A WEEKEND IN BELFAST.

Myself and the boy headed to Belfast for the October Bank Holiday Weekend a couple of weeks back so I thought I'd put together this post on where we stayed, what we did, where we ate and just my general thoughts.. so if you're planning a trip to Belfast any time soon make sure to keep on scrolling.

WHAT I WANT TO BE AT 23.

It's my birthdaaaay! (well it was yesterday).. and if you can't tell from the title of this post, I am now 23 years old. Something I am finding very difficult to comprehend lately is how fast time is going by, so to think that I'm now 23 years on this planet is pretty bizzare to me. It honestly scares me quite a bit but it is also completely inevitable so I'm just going to have to suck it up, right?

LISBON: THE LOWDOWN.

So I decided to put together a post to share the Lowdown on Lisbon with you. I want to share where we stayed, a bit about the food, sights and just general information that may help you if you're planning a trip to Lisboa!

A DAY IN SINTRA, PORTUGAL.

I recently came back from a getaway to Lisbon, Portugal which you may have known if you follow me on social media. While looking up things to do once we got there, I kept seeing Sintra being mentioned but didn't look too much into it. My boyfriend has this mindset before we go places in which he doesn't like to look into the destination too much as he likes the element of surprise and I kind of adopted that attitude as I like the idea behind it. Having said that,  I did follow a Lisbon orientated Instagram account and was pretty much stalking it as the excitement built before our trip, with the stunning Sintra making quite a few appearances.

WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN OCCASION WEAR SHOPPING.

Occasion Wear Shopping can be hard, there can be so many questions like what's appropriate? how much can I spend on it? do I want something I'll wear again? etc etc. I haven't had to buy anything for an occasion in quite some time so I was actually excited at the thought of it.

8 THINGS TO DO/SEE IN BARCELONA.

If you follow me on social media, you are likely to have seen that I was in Barcelona for 4 days recently, (you'd swear I had moved there as it's all I've posted about the last week, sorry not sorry). Ugh, I'm getting holiday blues as I'm writing this already.. it's just the most stunning city, I really couldn't have asked for a better first holiday with the boyf.

5 THINGS I'D TELL MY TEENAGE SELF.

Our teenage years are definitely some of our most testing years, well that's what I found anyways. At 22 years of age, I do have a whole lotta more learning to do but I also feel like I have learnt a whole lot too. I can certainly say I am now at the most happy place I've ever been in my life and to be able to say that, feels pretty amazing.

MAKE IT YOURS, MAKE IT THEIRS WITH TUNETOO.

Buying gifts can be a very difficult task and something some of us dread, what do you get someone that seems to have everything? what do they even like? how do I show I put thought in this? But I bought them this before, how do I get them something original?

COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY.

We hear this time and time again..'Comparison is the thief of joy' and we agree, yet we regularly find ourselves comparing ourselves to others. I, myself actually became quite good for not using comparison as a scale against myself but lately I find myself reversing back to comparing myself to others more and more.

Comparing ourselves to others is pretty much all down to our own insecurities and we all go through phases of feeling our insecurities more than we normally would and I guess I'm going through one of those phases and for a few reasons..

THE GREAT HAT EXHIBITION 2018 | PRESS PREVIEW PRESENTATION.

I was delighted to be invited along to The Great Hat Exhibition 2018 Press Preview Presentation on Tuesday last, if you follow me on social media, you may have guessed I do love to wear a hat! The event was held in PINKO flagship store, Knightsbridge, so location wise it was stunning. The area and the store itself had me in awe. 

FEBRUARY WISHLIST.

STYLE POST | CHECK MATE.

If you read My 2018 Plans blogpost you may know that one of those plans was to shop smarter and I'm actually proud I've stuck to it so far (yes, I know January isn't even over yet). I used to not think and just buy clothing but again I think this outfit contains elements that can be worn time and time again through multiple outfits so what I'm gunna do in this post is talk through this outfit.

A NIGHT IN LIMERICK CITY.

Last weekend myself and the boyf decided to head to Limerick for a night as we had planned to go to a rugby match in Thomond Park and thought making a night of it would be nice as I never actually had been in Limerick city before and as I said in my last blog post I want to travel more in and out of Ireland this year so this was an ideal start to that plan.

WHERE WE STAYED

We stayed in The George Boutique Hotel which we both absolutely loved. It is situated right in the middle of town so location wise it couldn't have been better for us and even though it's in the middle of a city, noise within our room wasn't an issue once.

MY 2018 PLANS.

So I know we are well into January and some of you may be wondering where is she off to posting her 2018 plans, New Year New Me is soooo 3 weeks ago. Well as I like to say better late than never. I had completely lost my blogging mojo for quite a bit due to personal reasons and all the negativity surrounding the Irish blogging community but I'm done with letting that hold me back and here I am with my first outfit type blog post in quite a bit, my plans for 2018.

JANUARY WISHLIST.
