Brought to you by NiQuitin.  It’s the end of an era. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. In this case, it’s a good thing. A non-smoking life is vastly better than a smoking life. However, depending on how long you’ve been a smoker for, it can feel a bit like you’re giving up a part […]

Brought to you by Fairyhouse Racecourse.  Do we really need an excuse to look fabulous? Well, we have one anyway. If you’re like us and like to dress to the nines on any occasion possible, we suggest you get your beautifully dressed selves down to the Fairyhouse Racecourse this Easter Monday. I mean, you know […]

Brought to you by Night Run. Enjoy the city by moonlight. There’s no better time to run, in our opinions. The air is cool, there’s less traffic, and you get to see your surroundings in a completely different light (literally). Well, Night Run is back this year and it really is a marathon like no […]

Brought to you by Everest Snacks. It’s time to #ReachYourPeak. Have you been aspiring towards one goal for ages now but you’re not sure where to start? Yeah, we feel you. Even the most ambitious people in the world can have difficulty finding that jumping-off point with a big project. Sometimes goals seem so big […]

Brought to you by KBC Bank Ireland.  It’s getting close! We’re SO excited for this year’s WellFest. We just finished the KBC WellGood challenge in preparation for it and we’re feeling fab. We’ll be keeping up with the living well, feeling well routine that we got into for the challenge and we’ll be well ready […]

Brought to you by Batchelors.  Irish people like to enjoy the simple things. I mean, sure, we like to spruce things up every once in a while, dress up, go out for a fancy meal. But when it comes to everyday enjoyment, I think you’d be hard pushed to find a group of people who […]

Brought to you by NiQuitin. The journey continues. You’re past the halfway mark now and it’s time for the next step. These next few weeks are all about finding your place in your new non-smoking life. Much of life will stay the same but there are a few positive changes that you might need to […]

Brought to you by Elle’s Bar at the Iveagh Garden Hotel.  It’s a treat for her. We promise. Well, that’s what we’re telling ourselves anyway. It’s not our fault if we also have a fabulous time… I mean, who doesn’t like afternoon tea? No one. That’s who. Elle’s Bar at the Iveagh Garden Hotel has […]

Brought to you by Cleanmarine For Women.  You shouldn’t have to dread that time of month. Periods aren’t easy. We know, we won’t try to pretend that they are. There are, however, loads of ways to make sure that discomfort is kept to a minimum when awkward Aunt Flo comes to town. Really, though, there’s […]

Brought to you by ellaOne.  So our discussion at the Helix has been and gone. And, boy was it a good one. The panel, lead by our very own Niamh Maher from Girls with Goals, and including It Galz‘ Lindsay Hamilton, plus Sarah Hanrahan (I Come Undone) and Molly Parsons (host of Molly’s Minutes podcast), discussed all things related […]

Brought to you by Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon. So much to do, so little time. So how is everyone getting on with their mini marathon training? Good? Bad? A work in progress? Haven’t started yet? (Us neither) Well, don’t be worrying yet – there’s still plenty of time to get yourself hyped up and ready […]

Brought to you by Discover Northern Ireland.  Pack those bags, it’s time for a weekend getaway. Sometimes (always) you just need a break. A little time away from home, an escape to somewhere where you can forget about work deadlines and life stresses. Luckily Ireland is FILLED with wonderful locations and fun activities to get […]

Brought to you by NiQuitin. Celebration time! It’s official – you’re halfway there (woohoo!). You’re at the top of the hill and it’s downhill from here on out. Well done, you. That is a real achievement and something you should be proud of. So proud that we think you should treat yourself to a little […]

Brought to you by Cleanmarine For Women.  We thought spots were just for teenagers. Clearly not. Sure, breakouts may have calmed down for most of us since we were fourteen or fifteen, but some of us still struggle on with them. Especially during our period. Even those of us who are well into our twenties […]

Brought to you by Crumlin Road Gaol. What better way to celebrate Easter than by going to jail? Don’t worry – we’re not telling you to break the law. You’ll be able to leave this jail whenever you want. Really, though, Easter may not be a specifically Irish holiday but it is a date that’s […]

Brought to you by KBC Bank Ireland. So, we’ve reached the halfway mark. The WellGood challenge, a collaboration between KBC and WellFest, is halfway through and we’ve already started to feel some of the changes. We’re feeling a bit more relaxed, a bit more in control of our lives, and, most importantly, a lot less […]

Brought to you by Life Style Sports.  Once a year, on Paddy’s Day, we celebrate all things Irish. Water is dyed green, various green beverages are served, Irish flags are waved all over the place, and you can see shamrocks everywhere you look. It’s a great day. Irishness isn’t just about greenery though. It isn’t […]

Brought to you by Club Orange.  Nostalgia is the new black. Seriously though, was it just that things we better in the past? Was life better? Did better things happen? Nah. Probably not. But that isn’t to say there weren’t some great things about the past (just like there are some great about now!) and […]

Brought to you by Keogh’s. Best day of the year. A whole day to celebrate being Irish AND you get a day off work/school/college. Plus, winter is well over, spring is officially here, and we’re looking forward to summer. Really, it’s just an entire day of fun and goodness. And to make absolutely sure you […]

Brought to you by NiQuitin. Life is moving on. It’s officially been a month, people (hurrah!). The smoking train has left the station and it’s long, long gone. Sure, you’ll still experience a few cravings (especially in jobs where only the smokers get five minute breaks. Excuse me, what’s up with that?), but the hard […]

Brought to you by Fulfil.  It’s all up to you. Anyone out there have a list of things that they want to try in life? Yeah, most of us do. Some lists are longer than others, some are more varied than others, and, granted, some contain things that we probably won’t get around to trying in this […]

Brought to you by L’Occitane.  Mother’s Day is getting close. We might have almost forgotten but goodness knows our mothers have most certainly not. That’s okay though – we have time and plenty of ideas on what to get our favourite lady. Some of these ideas all come the very wonderful L’Occitane. How many times […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. Simple yet satisfying. We are on an apple craze right now. Honestly, we just can’t get enough of them. With it still being to cold for most fruits to be in season, apples are our go-to fruity snack at the moment. We love them as they are, […]

Brought to you by Just Eat.  We’ve got the craving. Is there anything in the world more moreish than crisps? We don’t think so. It’s also extremely difficult (impossible, we’d say) to get rid of that crisp craving once it has taken hold. It eats you up inside until you eat them up. Too dramatic? […]

Brought to you by 1900 Restaurant. Well, that’s Paddy’s Dinner sorted. Has anyone got anything special planned for Paddy’s Day? A few lovely nibbles somewhere? A fancy dinner? We thought not. Somehow food always seems to get put on the back burner when planning Paddy’s weekend (we wonder why…). This definitely shouldn’t be the case […]

Brought to you by Cadbury. It’s time to treat the good eggs in your life. Easter is getting close and you know what that means – a season of spring when the daffodils are out, the sun is finally starting to shine, and it’s time to treat yourself to a little bit of Easter chocolate […]

Brought to you by NiQuitin. Are you feeling the hunger? If you’ve been following along, well done! This is a big win for you and hopefully you’re starting to feel some of the more positive changes that come with quitting smoking. Smell should have improved a lot, clothes should be starting to lose that constant […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. This is breakfast from now on. Pancakes are perfect. You can have them for breakfast, lunch, brunch – honestly you can even have them for dinner (and we do without fail or shame on pancake Tuesday every year). While we love a good aul classic pancake, we […]

Brought to you by KBC Bank Ireland.  We’re on the straight and narrow. For good this time. We have plenty of trouble sticking to our healthy-life routines, we’re the first to admit it. We begin with high hopes but inevitably, bit by bit, we lose our mojo. But just because we mess up once or […]

Brought to you by NiQuitin. Nobody is perfect. It’s week two of Quit To Fit! Can you believe it? Yes, you probably can, that can’t have been the easiest week to get through. Our teams certainly found it tough enough. No wonder – it’s hard to quit smoking. We know it and you know it. […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. We feel like royalty eating these. Have you ever gone to one of those fancy dinners or events where you get a bunch of appetisers or hors d’oeuvres that you’ve definitely never tasted before but are 100 percent scrumptious? You’re munching away and thinking, “so this is […]

Brought to you by KBC Bank Ireland.  The one festival our bodies will actually feel better after.

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples.  This is actually better than a hug. Living in Ireland means we become experts in finding the comforting things in life. When it’s cold and wet outside, you really just need to cuddle up with a blanket, a hot water bottle, or a favourite baggy jumper. We’re […]

Brought to you by gradireland.  If Mum said it, it must be true. We’ve always fancied ourselves Einstein-esque geniuses. A slight exaggeration, you say? Perhaps.

Brought to you by Goracing.  Valentine’s Day is here. And you know what that means. It means awkward dates. Whether they’re we’ve-just-met-and-really-aren’t-at-Valentine’s-Day-stage-yet dates or I-actually-want-to-break-up-with-you-but-can’t-do-it-on-Valentine’s-Day dates or the good old classic blind dates, they’re all there. Now, we’re a fan of the blind date because they’re often not actually awkward at all. It all depends […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. Sophisticated yet satisfying. We have found the perfect dinner for all occasions.

Brought to you by Cadbury. ALL the chocolate. It’s egg hunting season and we, for one, have been all over the shops searching for those elusive white chocolate Cadbury Creme Eggs. They’ve managed to avoid us so far but we won’t give up. If you’re like us and have yet to get your hands on […]

Brought to you by Le Crunch French Apples. This + a blanket + Netflix = perfection. So we all know that apples are healthy. They’re nutritious, delicious, high in fibre, and they actually help prevent cardiovascular disease (go on, apples). Apples are tasty, super handy (especially for the gym because of their high water content), […]

Brought to you by Cadbury. Give us the chocolate. We really cannot get enough Cadbury Creme Eggs, especially as we only have a few short months each year to appreciate their utter deliciousness. This year, though, it’s not just the drool-worthy gooey centre that we can enjoy during these Creme Egg months – there’s also […]

Brought to you by Cadbury. Anyone a fan of Creme Eggs? We are. And for anyone else who is, we have some news that you are going to thoroughly enjoy.

Brought to you by MOVEMENT+. I mean, if there’s brunch involved… We’re there. While some of us are flying with our New Year’s resolutions – healthy eating, gym three times a week, dry January, etc. – there are a few of us who are still finding it hard to get into the swing of things. […]

Brought to you by NiQuitin.  2019 is here. Which means New Year’s resolutions, good intentions, and new beginnings.

Brought to you by Iarnród Éireann. The struggle is real. There’s nothing quite like the effort of living day to day as a student. And a broke one at that.
