Hey Dolls,
In 2015 I changed many aspects of my life, I lost some weight, gave up full time employment to pursue my dreams and I started to look after my mental health and understand it like I never had before.
This year I feel like I am already on the right road, I want to continue with everything I'm already doing but just step it up a notch. I've composed a small but very realistic list of resolutions that I want to do and continue to do through out the year.
- To get even fitter and keep up a clean healthy balanced diet.
- Cook more & be more adventurous with my meals.
- Get into an organised routine with work and try be very consistent with posting.
- Spend more time with friends and family and less time on my phone.
- Travel more - I just booked to go to London in a few weeks :)
- Meditate everyday and be mindful everyday.
- Mind my mind and mind me, check in with my mental health often and make sure I am doing everything I can to keep my anxiety at bay.
I hope you have made your own list of resolutions and are going to stick to them as much as you can.
I hope you have a lovely New Years Day.

Hey dolls,
As 2015 comes to an end I wanted to share a little inspirational post. This year I feel like I've learned so much about myself and I've grown so much.
At the start of the year I set myself some goals, I wanted to lose weight, buy my dream car, move in with Chris, land my dream job, grow my following, build my brand. Sitting here writing this post I'm still so shocked at how much I've achieved. Sometimes it feels like a dream but I know myself how hard I've worked and how it's all finally paying off.
I just wanted to share some of the highlights of 2015 and let you all know that 2016 is going to be even bigger!!!!

My second radio interview! This was one of those 'pinch me moments' getting a call from the lovely producer of the Nicky Byrne and Jenny Greene show inviting me to come into the studio to have a chat with them about my blog. Listen to my interview here
We took that next step and moved in together. Best decision ever!!!!
Another one of those pinch me moments, being asked to speak on a panel in GMIT about my journey with my mental health. Getting to speak with Bressie was amazing. Watch the seminar here

My second Sunday World feature with these two dolls Love Lauren & Rosie Connolly this was such a fun shoot.

Hey dolls,
I hope you are all keeping well and excited for Christmas. I wanted to share this post with you all because it sums up the beauty of Christmas time for me. There is nothing I love more than wandering around looking at how beautiful everywhere is decorated. Sometimes we get to caught up in buying the presents that we forget the real meaning of Christmas, family and spending time with the ones we love. This trip to New York really made me see that this year.
This oversized blanket coat from Aeropostale has to be my favourite purchases from NYC. I bought it in Woodbury Common during the Black Friday sales. It is so snug and warm and I'm obsessed with the hood.... it's huge :)
My hat is from Meemaw Bags & Accessories
My personalised cashmere scarf is from Custom Vintage Dublin
Jeans are from Newlook
Chelsea Boots & Gloves are from Penny's
Bag is DKNY
A massive thanks to Lorna from Lcscloset.com for taking my snaps and being an amazing tour guide.
I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and I love you all soooo much.

Hey dolls,
If you've been following me on snapchat this week you'll know I got my Invisalign with ClearBraces.ie I'm still getting used to them and I'm so excited for my teeth to be straight. I've wanted to get braces for a couple of years now and after seeing the amazing transformation Christopher has had with his teeth I knew they were the ones I wanted to go for.
My issue with my teeth is mostly that my bottom teeth have moved and started to turn in as a result of my wisdom teeth coming up and putting pressure on my bottom teeth. I have been going to Chatham Street Dentist for the last couple of months and when I brought up my concerns with my teeth they highly recommend I go for clear braces. As I work a lot on camera I was always so self conscious of my bottom teeth. After I had my consultation with Dr Kevin Murphy in Chatham Street Dental he recommended I go for Invisalign.
I had my impressions taken and 6 weeks on I'm one week into my journey to straight teeth. The process has been so quick and pain free, everyone has said they didn't even realise I was wearing braces. That is the beauty of clear braces, they are practically invisible :) I've to wear them for 22 hours a day and I take them out to eat and to clean my teeth.
I feel like I have adapted to them so well because before starting with them I whitened my teeth and had to wear the whitening kit over night. I got used to sleeping with them in and now it feels so normal to fall asleep with my braces in.
The first couple of days I had some slight discomfort and had some mouth ulcers flare up but my dentist & Chris assured me that it was normal and now my mouth feels normal now. My voice is also a little different but hopefully I will get used to them and it will go back to normal soon. I know it is still early days but I am so excited to see my teeth transform.
Here are some pictures of how my teeth are now and I will do an update in a couple of months.
