All swish, no frizz. I love summer — the long days, the bright evening, early summer Fridays, beach trips and family barbecues — this is my favourite season of all. But sometimes, my hair does not seem to love summer – and the humidity – at much as I do, and can rather quickly turn […]
First thing’s first: Growing older is a privilege. Let’s never forget that. Every morning we wake up and get to feel the sunshine on our faces and laugh out loud and hug the people we love is a blessing and gift, and so I hate the term anti-ageing with a passion – I do not […]
No morning without coffee, amiright? We need our java to function in the AM, no matter the season. A steaming hot cup of coffee might be the perfect choice on frosty, dark winter mornings, but how about now, when the sun is out and the weather is warm(ish)? If you are a fan of iced […]
Who doesn’t love a bargain? We sure do. And in this day and age, where all our money seems to be going on petrol, electricity and food (yikes!), we love it even more. When it comes to taking care of our skin, we’d be hard pressed to ditch our good routines and favourite products. But […]

Cute – but is it a classic? Growing up, one of my favourite feel-good movies that my sister and I would watch on repeat was Father of the Bride. It had it all as far as I was concerned – humour, love, family, chaos – all rolled up in one charming movie. However – did […]
Fresh, luminous summer-ready skin – with makeup that stays put. Sounds too good to be true? Well, I am here to tell you it is not – if you embrace the latest TikTok makeup hack – foundation in water. The hack is pretty simple – although you might be forgiven for thinking it sounds a […]
Can’t you just feel the sunshine? We are still waiting (and waiting) on the temperatures to creep up towards what I would happily call ‘summer’ – but the good news is that Penneys’ new homeware collection will make it easier to at least feel like summer is here. Inspired by Italy’s Positano region, the collection […]

Such heartbreaking news. The little girl who played Baby Anna in Derry Girls has been diagnosed with leukaemia. Four-year-old Zoe Brown from Belfast, along with her twin Sophie, played the younger sister of the show’s main character Erin Quinn in seasons two and three of the hit show. Speaking to Belfast Live, Zoe’s mum Leah […]
Sick child leave, flexible working and more support for single parents. The joint committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has published its pre-legislative scrutiny report on the proposed Work Life Balance Bill.
