Yesterday I pitched a tent in our back garden and slept under the stars. If you can't go away for the long weekend, be adventurous and bring the away to you! . And then this morning I get to wake up and plan a whole new day of adventures! Ya gotta love a long weekend 💖 . . #sundayvibes #gardencamping #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals #covidkindness

And the ladies all lined up for a group photo. Gladis remarked "these days, it's so hard to get the girls all together like this" . Daisy couldn't resist "and this weather, where would you get it?!" . . . . . #cowsofig #cowsofinstagram #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals #covidkindness #countrysideandfarmlife

Don't @ me saying Fridays mean nothing anymore. 😂😂 I know, I get it, weekends are a strange blur of more of the same these days. I, like so many of us, am struggling with knowing where the work should end as my hours have slowly crept into crazy town. . But it's my assertion that Friday is a state of mind! That Friday Feeling is an important emotional mindset. And bloody hell, if it's not a long weekend. And holy jaysus, if it's not due to be SUNNY all weekend. . I'm in. Let's be havin ya. Weekend bants replace weekend plans. I'm living my proper weekend fantasy 😂 . . . #thatfridayfeeling #longweekendfeels #bantersquad #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals #covidkindness

Throwback to this week 2 years ago, when we got our heads together as a nation and voted to be just a little bit sound. . I'll never forget that count morning. The sun was warming up the country. Civic duty vote station work was done. All we could do was wait. None of us really knew... we hoped...but not too hard for fear of disappointment. . We changed our story. Updated our narrative. Stripped back a layer of historic shame and indignity. We Repealed. . Awesome statement piece by @emmielou.ie ❤️ . . . . . #throwitback #throwbackthursday #repealthe8th #wedidit💪#leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals

"Any plans the weekend?" Is that a dumb question?! I keep asking it out of habit, but the answer is generally met with a bemused shrug and a stare off into the distance as we recall epic weekend plans of days gone by. . Still, it's a long weekend ahead and the sun is looking hopeful. I still think it warrants some excitement. Hump day means the rest of the week will flit past. Eeep! . So...any plans the weekend?!! 😂 . . . . . #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals #covidkindness #humpdaypost #humpdayflow #weekendiscalling

Sometimes I wish I lived in Ranelagh or Smithfield, where I could enjoy my lockdown life within the catchment areas of canals, parks and succulent freshly-roasted @3fecoffee. I see people having socially distant walks with friends or sitting with pals eating ice-cream in the sun at St. Anne's park, and for just a second I feel that all-familiar twinge of envy. . And then I take a walk down my little lane with the nosey cows, crusading sparrow hawks and dumb AF pheasants and I kick myself for having a "grass is greener" mindset when I'm so content in my corner of the world. . When we allow ourselves to live in another person's shoes, we lose connection with and appreciation for the wonderful things in our own little worlds. I am incredibly lucky to have a quiet patch to walk the dog and experience nature. . I am healthy, happy and my business is thriving, all of which I am so grateful for during these crazy days. We are blessed to be digitally intertwined during this experience; how different things would be if we didn't have family zooms and online shopping. . Life is simple. . . But if someone could please drop me up a barista style @3fecoffee that'd be great. Thnx bbz 💖💖 . . . . #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals #covidkindness #lockdownireland #lockdownphotography #lockdown2020🔐

I'm not even convinced we can ever really be sure what day of the week it is anymore. It's basically a scientific conundrum. BUT, I am reliably informed that it may well be Monday again. . But don't sweat it. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Drink some coffee. Eat something delicious. You got this 👌💪😉 . . . . #leadersinheels #girlbosshustle #laptoplife #babeyougotthis #freedomseeker #gigeconomy #darlingmovement #irelandlife #irishgirl #girlbosslife #freelancelife #fakeittilyoumakeit #over3kyo #ftmedd #featurecreature #featuremyworld #workingfromhome #bossbabe #livingthedreamlife #doingwhatilove #lovingwhatido #womanboss #buildinganempire #womenoftheworld #bossladylife #womenwithgoals #covidkindness #mondaypost #mondaymuse

I am shattered today. Completely. I got dressed, put on a full face, fully convinced it would make me feel better...but I'm floored. I haven't had a "day off" in weeks (not even sure what that would look like). . I could plough on. Push through. Coffee up and buckle down. But I'm going to listen to my drained batteries and try and tune out for a wee while. . Too much zoom. Too few hugs. No family time. It all takes its toll. Be kind to yourself. Eat something yummy. Cuddle a puppy. Respect the hell out of yourself. . You're living through a pandemic. Put yisser feet up now and again, k?!

I've nothing witty, motivational or inspiring to say about this photo. Yesterday someone reminded me it was #internationalcocktailday. So I made a cocktail. It was good... . Ok. Ok. Ok. . Here's some motivation. Stop waiting for a reminder to enjoy a cocktail. Go out and grab life by the cocktail any time you want! . How did I do?! 😂😂💥💥

Constructive criticism can be uncomfortable, scary, and exposing...but it's the space in which you will find room to grow. . This week (with clammy hands!) I opened myself up to constructive criticism from some amazing business owners. I got feedback on my website, my branding, my language, my social media activity...no stone was left unturned...and it wasn't all praise and roses. . Did it hurt? Hell no. When you are trying to grow a business you need to leave the ego at the door, close your mouth, open your ears and tune in to what the world is telling you. Yes, having vision is important, but so is learning about your blind spots so you can improve. . First things first, time to get my website in a shape where it looks and feels like me. In the absence of a pro photographer (@dorajeancreation I'm coming for you) I've done some DIY photos to bring my personality to life online. Time to shake up the website! Thank you to @iammirmski @bagsbylanda @boutiqueladybelle @cathyocstylist @shapemodaofficial @melissacurrydesign for your pearls of wisdom ❤️

Next week's class times are up! Daily options for you to choose from if you want to join me in an online practice. . I'm loving the chance to maintain connection with so many yogis who are bringing their cabin fever or anxieties to their mat (or bedroom floor!) and getting on top of things during these crazy days. . I would love to see you there! It's a donation based class so just pay whatever you can right now. . Book via link in the bio ❤️💖

Walking into Monday like I got this pineapple and my woofer and ain't nothing can hold me back! 😂😂😂 . Happy Monday, fam. Chin up, shoulders back, we got this 💖

Woot! Day 2 underway of my self-imposed 7 Day J.F.D.I. challenge. Anyone else out there suffer from a touch of "can't-be-bleedin-arsed?" at this time of year? Join me for 7 days of throwing the excuses out the window and getting motivated. . J.F.D.I. is a mindset shift where you remove all possibility for excuses, inertia, or blockages between you and your achievements. You put the head down, you do the work. Yes, you may be tired and yes, it may be late, but you set yourself a task and you are here to J.F.D.I. until it’s complete! . You can read more about it in my Blog post which is linked in my bio. . #jfdichallenge #jfdi2020

This moon guided the teacher training crew to our 7.30am start in @samadhiyogis in Temple Bar for a beautiful pranayama practice on Saturday morning. Weekend number 4 is under the belt and we are growing together and getting closer as a group. What a priviledge it is to practice with such amazing people. I am constantly in awe of those who push and overcome in the pursuit of their passion. . . #yoga #yogatt #yogatt200 #yogatt250 #yogateacher #traineeyogi #learningneverends #bodywork #pranayama #hatha #prana #vinyasa #ashtanga #moon #fullmoon #teach

NYE 2019 is upon us and I can't wait for the last birrah banter of the festive season before dry(ish) January kicks in. . I want to wish you all a stunning new year as well, and to say thank you to all of you who have supported my journey in 2019. I think you're flipping awesome. . I'll be starting 2020 with a bang, that's my mindset this year. I resolve to continuously show up for myself and exceed daily. Whatever that looks like. . Can't wait to see what the new decade has in store for us all. Kissyface xoxo

This is a snapshot of my morning routine. I wake at 7am, make myself a coffee and climb back into bed for an hour of reading. It is a treat, an indulgence, a moment of calm. It also will invariably result in a Doberman crawling into bed for similarly indulgent cuddles...and I'm ok with that. . @ripleyregalfool

I rarely do this, but here goes. Shameless selfie time. Missing my blonde hair, but an oul lace front solves all a girl's woes. @websterwigs keeping me platinum when I need it most 😂🌸❤

Warning! Indulgent shmulsy yoga post coming up... . So I'm 3 months into my teacher training with the awesome @samadhiyogis and while it's hugely enjoyable, it can be a struggle. Making time to practice, read, learn, grow and teach is a constant challenge. But last night I stood on my mat and my whole mindset shifted... . This practice of mine is a gift, it is a privilege, and last night's work was coloured with the light of absolute gratitude. I am eternally grateful that I can indulge myself in something that has helped me so profoundly. And the idea that one day I will be sharing that with others?!...wow...life is awesome. . Find wonder where you can. Embrace the challenge, it's where you'll find room to grow...❤🌸❤🌸

Is it too much to ask that the universe slide me over a splash of sunshine and some creme brulé?! I really don't get how that's an unreasonable request. . Lads. It's bleeding poxy out there. Mulled wine and mince pies will have to suffice for now. Tis the season I suppose 😂🙌🍾
