We should be saying this every day, not just once a year when a special day comes round. Happy clappy instaland does not exist, guys. I’ve had some very low lows recently and it’s hard to know where to turn. You don’t want to burden friends, you want to be strong for family, and the dog just isn’t a good listener. . I’m a firm believer that things come right in the end; we all have our unique and crazy storms to weather. . If your storm is just too much then please reach out. You are not alone. Mental health is not just a hashtag. There are people who can help, guide and support you. . Talk. It will be ok. I promise. . #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealth #talk #reachout #yougotthis
OBSESSED with this month’s @lookfantastic box. So many goodies to poke and prod and dab and sniff. Nyoms. Self gifts are the best 😂😂
Have you seen burnout in your office, or are you starting to suspect it’s creeping in on you? Burnout is absolutely no joke. It can leave you totally physically and emotionally devastated and takes a long time to recover from. . I’ve done some extensive research on the topic and pulled it all together for you on the blog. Please do have a read if you are struggling. Self care starts with YOU. Nobody else is going to put you first, so you may as well do it yourself. . unqualifiedtocomment.com or follow the link in my bio. . Love your face xxx
If you got my Monday Bites email, you’ll know this quote has been buzzing in my head the past wee while. Wise words, and they are the foundation of my current mindset. . Imagine what we could do if we all got out of our own way?!
Anyone get stuck in a dreaded commute this morning?! How would you feel if I told you there’s a way you can divert that madness into mindfulness??! Sounds unrealistic, but with a little practice it’s totally doable. See my latest blog post “from madness to mindfulness”, link in my bio now or live at unqualifiedtocomment.com. . Enjoy! 🌸♥️🌸
A little over a year ago I made a conscious decision that I had given plenty of air time to my inner sabateour. Enough was enough. The time had come to put on my big girl pants and to pursue a long-desired creative outlet. I grabbed a hold of the Imposter Syndrome, gave her a hard shake & stern talking to and thus the Unqualified Blogger was born. . What started as a hobby to shine light on some self-criticism has evolved into something much more meaningful for me. This blog has been an outlet for me and a source of sanity during some recent challenging times. It has kept me moving with productive enterprise when laziness has crept in. . Back when I started I really couldn't believe it when one or two people followed, or a stranger dropped me a comment or a DM. And I still can't believe it when that happens! So I am chuffed today to see the number of wordpress followers hit 100. Maybe you see that number as tiny but I don't. I am grateful for every person who stops by to read the words I write or drop a comment or like. But even more so I am humbled by these 100 people who choose to actively follow. . Thank you, genuinely, thank you. 🙏♥️🌸
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. . Subscribe via link in my bio. Unsubscribe whenever you like! I will never spam you, I love you far too much for that. . Kissyface xxx
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
