Westport House fun!

During my last week of the summer, my family and I went to the west of Ireland on holidays. when I was younger my Aunt used to own a mobile home beside the beach so many of our holidays were spent in Westport. One of my favourite places in Westport was Westport house, an old estate which was renovated into a family friendly adventure park with the houses grounds around you. Due to the age that I am now I wouldn't be able to go to the adventure park however if you brought any little one with you it would be a great days fun as I remember it being. A few things had changed since the last time I was there but still it brought back all of the exciting childhood memories!

Throw Back to my sister Aoife (right) and I (left) on the duck boats that you pedal.

Flash forward roughly ten years time to my photos of the grounds and some of the rides.


Insert awkward selfies of my not so great face in front of the house.

This is only a glimpse at what is to offer and I recommend it as a day out for young and old no matter what age!

New Job!

Its Summer, this means no school and excessive shopping. when you are a teenager and you love make-up and clothes money can be quite a problem. I will be 16 in August which means that right now I am able to work. So obviously I have decided to get a summer job (my mother wants me out of the house) for a few hours a week. Now that I know that I will have my own income without having to spread out any money that I may get at my Birthday and Christmas, I can splurge (reasonably) on some beauty and fashion items which I get very excited about.
"What is your actual job?" you may ask, basically I work in a local hairdressers where I wash hair, sweep the floor, take appointments and make a substantial amount of tea and coffee. It probably sounds quite boring to many people but the thing is when you are doing them few jobs you don't stop from 9 to 5 (cue Dolly Parton song) and there fore the time flies by. I am very appreciative of my job and I cant wait to go on some shopping sprees and share some reviews and hauls with you!

Moses Sandals

Around a month ago I went shopping to Primark and I bought theses sandals. Personally when I was buying them I thought how practical they were for example the are a light brown therefore you can basically match them with anything and also they have a mainly closed toe which means you can get away with a bit of chipped nail polish. I also just thought they were pretty cute. This was not the story when I got home... my brother and sisters thought that my sandals looked like something that Moses would wear in the desert. Obviously they were only joking about this but I took it slightly to heart and they were then slipped into my wardrobe for another day. When the sun broke out and it was 28 Degrees Celsius outside I decided fudge it I am going to wear them and ever since them I have barely took them off. I decided that there isn't much point in caring about what other people think therefore I wore my Moses sandals with pride and I have gotten multiple compliments on them since.
The Sandals were around the 3-5 pound mark in Primark.

The Beginning of Summer

Hey everyone it has finally started to feel like summer, i have been doing lots of things with my family and friends I have also made sure to take some photos along the way for you to have a look at.
One of the thing we have recently done was have a barbecue because it was such a hot day and we thought we might as well while we have the chance.

My friends and I went for a cycle around the local area, we stopped by a little beach and took some photos.


We then created some of our own versions of ice cream which were delicious
