Brought to you by   A top-quality thriller series is just about everything we need right now. It’s week three (four? Five? Who even knows anymore?) of our social isolating and we have just about burned through every series on TV.

Brought to you by ellaOne Some of these stumped us too. Sexual health is important. We all know that it’s a good idea to be aware what’s happening with our bodies, but how much do we actually know about our sexual health? We know all the basics, don’t we? Or do we? If someone gave […]

Brought to you by ellaOne How much do you know about sexual health? We all like to think that we know what we’re doing when it comes to sex. Everyone gets the usual sex-ed class in school, but how much does that really teach us? Do we actually know all the ins and outs of […]

We’re counting down the days until its release. This book had us in tears. TEARS. So we’re only assuming that the movie, starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith, will be doing the same.

Brought to you by The HSE  We’re big fans of safe sex. Preventing STIs and an unplanned pregnancy – what could be better? It’s pretty easy to practise safe sex to be honest – condoms are cheap and actually free if you’re in college – woohoo! However, it has come to our attention that many […]

Brought to you by Gym+Coffee We love some new workout gear. Exercise is hard enough as it is without feeling uncomfortable in years-old workout clothes. Putting on a proper gym outfit always gets us feeling re-energised and excited to workout. Which is pretty crucial tbh. As the days get a bit longer and spring starts […]

It seems like just yesterday that Meghan Markle was hailed as the new Grace Kelly.

We’re counting down the days to the holidays. Christmas is so close now and all we want to do is don our Christmas pyjamas, cosy up in front of the fire, and get stuck into a feel-good festive book. We may not get that much snow in Ireland but we can certainly pretend that we […]

Brought to you by Cadbury It’s the most wonderful time of the year. A time for giving and receiving presents, for eating delicious Christmas dinners, and sampling (or more than sampling) the many different chocolate gifts one has received over the holiday.

Brought to you by Cadbury It’s not Christmas without some chocolate. Actually, scratch that. It’s not Christmas without LOTS of chocolate.
