All About Me
I’m aware that a lot of you may be coming here from my Instagram, which, since hopping on the Slimming World bandwagon has increased in popularity.
Self-care should be number one!
I’m feeling a slight hint of regret as I write this because it’s been months since my last post. I love writing for this blog, getting my thoughts out there, and I’m annoyed at myself for letting something that I love go by the wayside. Why do we do this to ourselves?
Introducing Life Coaching
Life Coaching seems to be one of those “buzz-terms” that people throw around in 2018, like “influencers” and “happenings”. But if you actually look into the premise of coaching, in any form, you’ll soon see the immense benefits. So, what is Life Coaching? Simply put, it’s a professional relationship between two people that can help…
Forever the Aloe Lady!
Why Forever Living? Last summer I was feeling very low health wise. My physical health was a disaster: I was run down, my PCOS symptoms were kicking my arse more than usual and my weight was far too high. Mentally, I was also a mess. My anxiety had reached tipping point. I was suffering from…
My Disney: Disneyland Paris 2017
Disney dreams Three weeks ago we had our annual family holiday. The venue this year was Disneyland Paris and it was amazing. To say that it was unforgettable would be an understatement.

Travelling with little ones… how to make life easier!
Travelling with a four-year-old! Travel GIF from Travel GIFs Travelling isn’t always easy for families, especially when you live hours from the nearest airport.

Why I need Mammy Friends!
No time for Mammy Friends… When I was pregnant, and even for a few years afterwards, I didn’t see the need to make any “Mammy Friends”. I found the idea pointless, if I’m honest! Honestly, I had my own friends, why would I need any others? I was also in a position where my sister…

Introducing greatHERday… no question was left unturned!
During some soul-searching I found Victoria at GreatHERday (seriously, such a cool blog- check it out). I wrote a guest piece for her website, about friendships ending (also, check that out if you haven’t already), and I like to think that we have formed a friendship of our own. Having someone quite impartial to talk…
How I’m #RockingMotherhood…
The #RockingMotherhood Challenge Twitter is a good place to get involved in blogging challenges. Thanks to @mummy_setra (check out her blog here) my latest challenge is the #RockingMotherhood tag.

Teaching my son about friendships: why this is important to me!
Mam’s Taxi- facilitating and enabling friendships since 2012! This week is going to be a very busy week off work. It mainly consists of me running Noah from one play-date to the next. Why have I said “yes” to every invitation he received? It’s simple. I think that friendships are very important, and want to…
Anxiety: A male perspective
Guest blog: Mental Health and Anxiety from a Male Perspective I love Twitter for the way that it allows us to connect with people whom we wouldn’t otherwise connect with. During my quest for true happiness and self-love, I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a piece that discusses my anxiety, but I wasn’t…
Celebrity Indulgence
Tonight’s post was supposed to be about something very personal and heartfelt to me. Then the Grammys happened.
Valentine’s Day and Self-love
Don’t ever apologise for taking some time for yourself, nor should you ever associate a bit of self-love with outright egotism. Enjoy it. Embrace it.

Hello month two of 2017, the year which I’ve decided to make my happiest yet. It’s kicked off to an awesome start, as I discussed in last week’s post. But how can I keep this going? How can we all slay those negative vibes, and bring positivity to the forefront this year? I don’t know…

Because I’m happy…
I feel really happy today. Like, seriously happy! This isn’t a “brag post”, but I am going to verbalise why I’m feeling all of the gratitude and the happiness today. And why shouldn’t I brag once in a while about what’s making me smile? I think if more of us looked for the sparkly, happy,…
Dating myself!
We went shopping, had a coffee and enjoyed a ridiculously amazing movie. And she paid! She? Yep, that’s right. I went on a date with myself, and my god, I showed myself a good time…
Hey, girls! You’re all awesome!
Take a look at this picture that I spotted floating around on Facebook last week… At first glance, I liked it. I’m all for independence and women not needing to rely on anyone but themselves. But then I got a bit annoyed by it. I became somewhat pissed off! Why, in 2017, do you have…
