The 5 emotional stages of getting a free sample in the supermarket

Supermarkets are an intense experience. Nobody has ever intended on spending longer than 10 minutes in a supermarket, but things happen. You bump into an old colleague, the trolley has a wobbly wheel, there are multiple free samples on display, you get caught trying to put the ground almonds on the floor where they belong, […]

10 texts it’s perfectly acceptable to send during your period

Periods, am I right? They are quite literally a pain in the hole. Your hormones are all over the place and even the slightest thing can send you into a blubbering mess unannounced. I once felt the warm trickle of a tear roll down my cheek as I witnessed an elderly man inform a waitress […]

Well this is the sweetest engagement video we’ve ever seen

Hashtag engaging content. We get sent a lot of fantastic video content here at Her.ie, ranging from births, pets, marriages, mishaps and of course, engagements.

8 Amazon reviews of everyday occurrences

Amazon is fantastic. To borrow a line from some deeply influential bloggers, “NO guys, I’m not being paid to say that”. I’m genuinely just a big fan of ordering things online on a whim and I also thoroughly enjoy getting post. Sometimes, I’ll go on Amazon with a budget (usually the bones of €10) and just […]

If Pokémon were famous people, here’s who they’d be…

Folks, I am getting every bit of mileage out of this Pokémon craze as I possibly can. Having played the game around Dublin and renamed some captured Pokémon, I am now turning my efforts towards figuring out what Pokémon famous people look like. Get in touch and let me know what I’ve left out / gotten extremely […]

6 new events added to the Olympic Games in time for Rio 2016

The 2016 Olympic Games are exactly two weeks away. I’m very much looking forward to keeping an eye on the various sporting events as they unfold over the next while. For some reason, sporting events are an ok reason to have the telly on in work, which means a wandering eye is excused on the […]

Liam Payne shares the tracklist from his debut album and it’s very telling

Earlier today, Liam Payne announced that he has signed to Capitol Records. It’s a big day and I’ll be surprised if I get to sleep at all tonight with what’s going on. The future of One Direction is again uncertain and we need to sadly acknowledge that we’re probably a bit further away from having a 1D […]

The official Dáil summer holidays schedule 2016 is here

Today, the Dáil gets their summer holidays. As of 8.48pm this evening, the top buttons are being undone, the high heels will be kicked off and the ties are going straight around their heads. These lucky folk are off for three months and it’s likely that they won’t know what to do with all this […]

EXCLUSIVE interview with Melania Trump’s speechwriter

I’ve always wanted to interview someone connected to a political heavyweight. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting for that day to come. In the meantime, I’ve somehow managed to snag an interview with Melania Trump’s speechwriter, Meredith McIver. It’s over the phone, as she lives in the U.S. and I couldn’t afford a flight over. Also, it’s impossible […]
