College Wishlist!

Sorry about my recent lack of postage, but I literally have been up to my knickers lately between my new job, leaving cert results and CAO offers...and maybe a drink or two in between! 

Although I did a good leaving cert and was delighted with my points, unfortunately, I missed out on my college place by one grade in English! However, being the glass-half-full kind of girl that I am, I've decided to go with my second choice (journalism in DIT). And what's being a journalism student, in the big smoke, without a KILLER wardrobe to complete the look?

So here it is,

My inner Grit Doctor

Confession time... I still haven't joined the gym, or lost a morsel of weight since my "200 views" post! ☹ However, I have invested in, what is now, my bible; RUN FAT B!TCH RUN, by Ruth Field.

As someone who detests the very essence of running, even I cannot reccomend this book more. With the grit doctor by my side, today was my second outing of step one to becomming a runner. 

Who is the grit doctor I hear you ask?
"I am the grit doctor. I am a ruthless, no-nonsense motivator who will force you to do the things you don't want to do. I will whisper you fat bitch when you are contemplating one more roast potato" 

Everyone has a grit doctor, or rather, their "inner bitch" (mine is called Cheryl!). The aim? To befriend your inner bitch. 

Step one involves choosing what is know as a 'circuit'. A walk that begins and ends at your front door, which is roughly 3-4 miles long. It's very important that your circuit is somewhere nice, safe, and somewhere you won't get board of. 

Here is my circuit...

Hopefully some of you are lucky enough to live in the countryside like I do, however if not, choose a local park.

I also think it's important to have some inspiration. Here's mine: 

 "Believe me when I say that we all have an inner bitch - in fact, I'd go as far as to argue it's what makes us human" 

Hence, my inner bitch being, so appropriately named, Cheryl!














Find your inner bitch girls and best of luck future runners! 

Boogie of the Week!

So waking up saturday morning, realising (after a long week of work, may I add) that I had totally forgotten my friday boogie I have now decided to call it "boogie of the week"  And here it is! So grab an issue of look magazine, a mojito, and head outside to bask in this lovley weather (while it lasts!)

       









Angus and Julia Stone - You're the one that I want 

Friday Treats!

So! I started a new job today. From Ireland's ultimate debutantte to....a waste disposal plant? It's true! But I'm working in an office so it's all good! :) Got the job through my cousin, just filling in for 4 or 5 weeks until I start collage. To celebrate, I rewarded myself with this gorgeous parka courtesy of E-Bay! 

Can't wait for it to arrive. Perfect for (an irish) summer over a pair of shorts and tights as above, or with skinny jeans and heels for a day in town with the girls.

NEXT WEEKS WAGES...

 








Decided to start up "my friday boogie" ..(stole the idea from a friend) so here it is! Get your dancing shoes on and enjoy the long weekend! Oh and any requests, just halla! <3

200 Page Views ❤

Shucks 200 page views! Really? You shouldn't have! Ok, so I'm not exactly America's Next Top Blogger (see what I did there?) BUT nonetheless I'm very proud of my progress! ☺

So what have I got up to in the last few days now the excitment of the debs is over? Slept...ate...ate...and decided to join my local gym. And whats joining the gym without a before and after picture?!!

Not only this, but I'm going to start eating healthier as well. (I say this like every two weeks but now I put it on my blog I have to do it!) But this time instead of rewarding myself with chocolate or an ice cold can of coke, I'm going to reward myself with; 

✓ Bubble Baths
✓ Face Masks
✓ Getting my hair done etc;


And setting myself targets like this...

and this...

So wish me luck! ✌

 

A night to remember! ★

10.30am; I arrive in the hair salon, 2 hours and 88 clips later voila!! I wanted a nice classic up do, nice and soft around the face, yet not your typical "debs hair". I was so happy with the outcome and could not recommend MELO YELO, Limerick highly enough. 

12.30pm; I go across to Brown Thomas to be greated by the friendly faces of Éstee Lauder who did an absloutely STUNNING job on my make up. I opted for a nice navy smokey eye, but kept it very nude on the lips.

 Me and my boyfriend Steven

I arrived home at 3.00pm to be greated by an abundance of family, friends, money, jewllery, flowers, and a beautiful cake!

 mmm...



















Next was into town to meet the girlies and get the bus to the hotel. Everyone looked #amazeballs (and I'm not just saying that, everyone genuinely put in so much effort). 

 

Left to right; Sarah, Caoimhe, Me, Megan and Niamh.

As the show (Ireland's Ultimate Debutante) is coming out at the end of Oct, I can't give too much away. But I'll remind you all when it's coming out so DON'T WORRY!! ;) Hope you like my dress, hair, make up ect. If you want to know where I got my dress, or any of the girls above, please let me know! :)

P.S Yes Cheryl Cole does have my ear rings!

Love Always;

Oh my my my oh my my my OH MY MY MY MY JULYYY!
