Brought to you by Linders Renault. Listen, no one’s perfect but I am the first person to put my hands up and say that women’s’ cars are… rotten. And it’s not really surprising considering how much time we spend in them. From sweaty sports equipment to half-eaten 3-in-1s (we all do it) our cars can […]

Brought to you by wet n wild®.  Packing is probably our least favourite part of our summer getaway. Yes, we’re obviously excited but it’s just so damn stressful. Will I need one pair of jeans or two? Is five pairs of flip flops a bit excessive? And don’t even get us started on our makeup […]

You just can’t go to an Irish festival without a decent pair of wellies. Yes, the weather may look all lovely and sunny now but you just know that the moment you whip out your fab new playsuit or decide to leave your waterproof jacket in the tent the heavens will definitely open. So, why not […]

I was never a girly-girl. I just wasn’t born with glitter in my veins like some women are, but you’ll never hear me apologise for not wearing make-up. Are you not well? Are you tired? You look very pale, are you sick? “No, sorry I just look like crap because I’m not wearing any make-up.” […]
