Working on a Sunday. In my jammies. On the sofa. With my woofer Ripley for company. . I guess this is what it looks like to start your own business?! Office hours don’t apply so I get to sit and hatch plans whenever the mood takes me. It’s such an exciting time right now...and Ripley couldn’t care less 😂😂 . . . #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #irishwriting #irishart #irishwriters #lovetoread #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #under3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals

Thought of the day: What are you doing to bridge the gap between who you are and who you want to be?! . That’s my focus this week. I want to identify some actionable, identifiable traits and take proactive steps. Time to get planning! I’m feeling optimistic 🌸💋

Cheeky little blog post up now. Some musings on all things meet-up, co-working and taking over the world. . I had the honour of sharing space with some fantastic ladies today as part of the @womenco_ group, which I recently found on @meetup. It was worth crawling out of my cave for the day and into the real world!

I’m not sure if it was the violent storms, the fish and chips, the whisky or the wilderness but Scotland blew my mind. I know SO many Irish people, like me, who have never been before, which is so hard to believe given we are basically living on each other’s laps! If I have learned one thing it’s that it was a mistake not having paid a visit sooner. There is so much beauty and stunning scenery that our breaths were taken away on a daily basis. . I’ve pulled together some of the details of the journey we took from Edinburgh to Skye and back again and you can find them all over on the blog right now. It’s a detailed post, so whether you are looking for some inspiration or maybe are planning your own trip I’m hoping you’ll be able to find some inspo. . Get booking your trip now! You won’t regret it.

Mondays are a dose. Some Mondays are a double dose with a side of ‘meh’. What I am slinging is a strictly meh-free zone with a weekly shout to anyone and everyone who wants to hear from me. . I’m planning to bring you a summary of the things that have been keeping me interested and upbeat throughout the week with some sprinklings of stories and banter to keep you smiling. .

I’ve written a few words on the blog to mark Mum’s 5th anniversary. I cannot believe it’s been 5 years already and there’s times I still think about picking up the phone to call her. Link in the bio if you want to read. Thank you darlings ♥️♥️

If it’s not too late for Transformation Thursday. Hey hey, ho go, the crispy blonde had got to go 😂😂 . Aoife over in @thesalonbysimonfergus is only amazing. Look at that shine!! It’s so nice to have healthy hair again. . . #transformation #beforeandafter #transformationthursday #hair #colourchange #colorchange #blonde #brunette #silky #sosmooth #healthyhair #hairtreatment

Today was one of those days. I needed a mantra. Something to springboard me out of the flump. When you’re in a flump, you’re not in for much fun. Unflumping yourself is not easily done...or something like that 😉 🌸 This little quote jumped out at me. Life is all an act. It’s all a game, none of this is real and it won’t go on forever. Who knows what’s around the corner, we may as well go in laughing. 🌸🌸 I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but if you are slumping or flumping I really hope this can put some fire in your belly or wind in your sails. We are fierce creatures. We got this. . . . #blog #blog #slump #flump #anxiety #sad #inspire #feelbetter #youareenough #talk #laugh #quotestoliveby #quotes #quotesdaily #quotesaboutlife #itsokaynottobeokay #this #itsokaytonotbeokay #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth

This photo is from February 2017. I looked at myself so critically thinking I was “fat” and out of shape, compared to where I wanted to be. If that person could see the “me” right now, who (for self preservation) has avoided the gym for weeks and focussed on self-care of a different kind, I think she would be horrified! ♥️ I could look in the mirror now and tell myself all the vitriol to “motivate” myself into action. Or I can look in the mirror and be grateful for the legs that carry me. Grateful for the arms that can give awesome hugs. Grateful for the belly through which I get nourishment. I have stopped using my reflection as a metric for my happiness, and I can’t tell you how releasing it’s been. I jog when I want to, yoga daily (if it suits) and the gym is always there when I’m ready to go back. ♥️♥️ Your pathological critic gets as much air time as you allow. Don’t let that little voice run your life. They will lie to you and run you into the ground. Your narrative is your choice. ♥️♥️♥️ . . . #selfie #sundayselfie #sundaymorning #morningmotivation #selfcare #saboteur #selfsaboteur #behappy #selftalk #goodvibesonly #positivementalattitude #positivethoughts #intuitiveeating #fuckww #nodiet #nottodaysatan #selflove

With so much change lately I’ve had to be mindful of the fact that no matter what life throws down, if you’re ready to see them, there will be little pockets of gratitude in the chaos. This scene doesn’t look like much, but it made me smile. . Our commute no longer overlaps so, for now at least, we don’t have a mere hour or two together in the evenings. That means we can actually spend meaningful time without taking our shitty commute frustration out on one another. A meal shared. Wine and conversation. Chats and laughs. These are the moments that matter. . Now put away the bleedin dishes. . #reallife #marriedlife #gratitude #grateful #moments #momentsofmine #balance #worklife #worklifebalance #commute #freelance #homeoffice #remotejobs #blog #blogger #writer #writing #unqualifiedblogger

Watch this and immediately feel less good about anything you might have achieved today. . . #Repost @todrick with @get_repost ・・・ Girl @blakemcgrath don’t dance, he WERK! #nhhh #nhhhchallenge #hausparty #hauspartychallenge #todrick #todrickhall

A 29 year old Mum with her first born and favourite (daughter 😄). Mum would be 64 today ♥️♥️♥️ I was 29 when we lost her; a painfully significant age in our relationship. . Loss doesn’t get easier, it just changes shape. If you have lost someone, never feel guilty for strong days and seek stillness and strength in the days that feel more empty. Grief is universal, we move through it together. Love to you all on this special day.

I’ve decided to do a wardrobe clear out so am jumping on the Depop bandwagon. If you’re up on that app please pop me a follow. More clothes will be added in the coming days as I examine my wardrobe...critically...comprehensively...this is harder than it looks lads!. . . #depop #shoes #louboutin #secondhand #shop #forsale #goodprice #upforahaggle #fashion #photo #ruview #toot #boot #heels

Some time ago I made a commitment to try to get to my mat every day. Whether that’s in a class or at home, it really doesn’t matter, as long as I get moving in some way and connect with my breath. . It doesn’t have to be complicated or over-engineered, sometimes your body just needs 20 minutes to get into a bit of a groove and work out some blocked energy. . That’s exactly what this was, getting some sunshine rays on my skin while giving myself a simple 20 minute practice. Those few minutes are the most precious gift you can give yourself. 🙏 . . . . #namaste #yoga #yogapractice #meditation #meditate #breathe #yogi #yogini #practice #commitment #habits #sun #workout #exercise #fitness #mentalhealth #blog #blogger #200hrytt #250hrytt #balance #stretch #heal #healing #calm #breathe #breathing #selfcare #selflove #flow #outdooryoga
