You get a fabulous painting of yourself and you’re helping a great cause. Sounds like a win-win to us. Yesterday, artist Karen Hickey announced her new portrait series – ‘All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go’. The series is being run in support of charity Dress for Success Dublin. Karen Hickey will be accepting portrait commissions throughout […]
An excellent way to kick off the weekend. Over the past weeks, we’ve developed some great new hobbies that we love doing and that have really helped us get through our time in lockdown. Plus we’ve been having video chats with friends to make sure we get that social interaction in. But we’re increasingly finding […]
These look so beautiful. Over the last few months people have gotten into both gardening and baking in a big way. On the baking side, we’ve seen banana bread, cupcakes, sour dough, you name it. Then on the gardening side, well, we’ve never heard of garden centres being as insanely popular as they are at the […]
Why do we love sharks so much? We’ve been told all the grisly horror stories, we’ve seen Jaws (and, admittedly, all the sequels) – we’ve been told over and over that they’re the killing machines of the deep. So why are we so fascinated by them? To be honest, growing up with Shark Week probably […]
We love ourselves a good documentary. Over the last year, we feel like we’ve been completely spoilt with documentaries. From docs on true crime, to famous people, to music, to all things weird and whacky, we think we’ve significantly expanded our knowledge of all the good, bad, and crazy things that go on in the […]
Well, this is the best surprise we could have asked for. For so many of us, Buffy was the “grown-up” 90s show of our childhood. It was an exciting story that had darker themes than other favourites like Fresh Prince, Saved By the Bell, or Dawson’s Creek. We all felt like mini adults watching it. Yeah, that show […]
We’re so happy for him. Captain Tom Moore made quite the name for himself recently after completing 100 laps of his garden while in lockdown in hopes to raise money for the NHS. 100 laps doesn’t seem so much, right? Well, this gentleman just turned 100 years old. He is a World War II veteran […]
Get ready to binge-watch all of this in one night. First of all, we’d like to thank Netflix for keeping us distracted and busy during this stuck-at-home time. They really are spoiling us with these summer releases. Just yesterday, Netflix revealed that The Sinner season 3 will finally be released on Netflix UK and Ireland this […]
Is this you? Lockdown ain’t easy. People are feeling cooped up, irritated by their housemates, and just generally stressed about the state of the world. People are dealing with their stress in different ways but a study by Drinkaware shows that one significant way that people are handling their stress is by drinking more. According […]
Yes, this really happened. So, for any of you out there who somehow don’t know who Paul Mescal is yet, first of all, how? Second of all, he’s Ireland’s newest breakout star. He’s skyrocketed to fame after playing Connell in the recent BBC and Hulu production of Normal People, adapted from Sally Rooney’s book of the […]
It’s the type of community kindness that just warms your heart. Face mask shortages have been a huge problem around the world in 2020. People have been stocking up on them and using up the limited supply which has left hospitals running low. Governments have been back and forth about whether to recommend general use […]
We’ll just be brushing up on our performances until then. In 2008, we were given the wonderful movie that is Mamma Mia! and we thought no movie musical could bring us as much fun. But then, 10 years later, we were given Mammia Mia! Here We Go Again and our love was rekindled once more. […]
