Ciara writes features for JOE.co.uk and is doing her best.
Twitter is gas. It’s gotten a bit too safe lately, so I often find myself fantasising about a world where people on Twitter tweeted things that would shock us. Tesco would confess that sometimes they do their shop in Dunnes, Michael D. Higgins would acknowledge that he is extremely adorable and Marty Morrissey would finally […]
Mams are great. They come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and genders. Everyone’s Mam is a law unto themself, which adds a large amount of spice to life, both literally and metaphorically. A particularly captivating breed of Mam is the Irish Mam. Such a beautiful combination of worry, concern, love, noseyness and fussing […]
Stock images, am I right? A personal favourite pastime of mine is ruining everything for no reason whatsoever. It’s fun, unnecessary and extremely fulfilling. I regularly browse iStock and mentally berate the people in stock images, who are simply just trying to make a living and get by. I don’t know their backstories. I am […]
Contouring, am I right? My understanding of contouring is that it makes any given body part appear a little bit nicer for others to look at. Harmless. Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief if your personality is garbage, because I’m about to sort your life out in three easy steps. INTRODUCING: ~* Her.ie’s […]
People are losing the run of themselves. Some internet conspiracy theorists have turned their efforts towards exposing the alleged nonexistence of Louis Tomlinson’s new baby. Having taken matters into my own hands, I’ve looked closely at the photographs of Louis and his baby and I’m disappointed to report that the rumours are true and the […]
Books, am I right? I am sick of being told not to judge a book by its cover. I am a rogue vagabond who simply cannot be tamed. I’ll judge a book by its cover and a cover by its book. IDGAF. Strap yourself in, it’s about to get wild. Star Sand by Roger Pulvers […]
Snapchat, am I right? As we’ve learned, Enda Kenny has offered Micheál Martin an equal partnership Government between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and some Independents. Whether this will actually come about, we’ll have to wait and see. What better way to pass the time than by fantasising about the fruits of our potential new Government’s […]
Snapchat is gas. We’ve a particular fondness for the Face-Swap filter at the moment because we are extreme narcissists here at Her.ie. Earlier, we tried to Face-Swap Laura with our new cress plant, Ryan SeaCress, and failed catastrophically. We are appalling, we know. Luckily, we get sent in a lot of extremely gas Snapchats, which […]
Oh, Razorlight. Everyone’s reminiscing about their extremely cringe past as indie-loving teens, so let’s indulge ourselves further. Razorlight were the height of cringe (as were we) at a time when bandanas were rampant and eyeliner was a minimum of 2cm thick. Here’s the most cringe part of Razorlight’s video for In The Morning. [I am obligated […]
The Guinness World Records are a farce. They dish out awards for things such as having the biggest afro, eating the most chocolates in a minute and for being the shortest donkey. I want to live in a world where they award the simplest of wins during our day-to-day lives. Here are my propositions for […]
Irish names are beautiful. Half the fun of a trip abroad is having to change your name to something more palatable when the locals struggle to get their exotic little mouths around Gubnet. Tina it is. Many of us are stumped when asked what our stunning Irish names mean, so I’ve done some research and […]
Online shopping generates a rollercoaster of emotions. You need to have a large amount of self-control, but also a particular fondness for self-inflicted torture. Check and check. It’s a long and arduous process between the time you get a notion of wanting something, right through to the point where you actually have it. Strap yourself […]
