I’ve been reading a lot lately. Well, as much as I can, anyway.

My tactic for getting myself out of a reading slump is to ensure I’m reading something I actually like. Easier said than done when I feel inordinately guilty for putting down a book I’m not into, but sure listen.

Right now I’m reading Anna’s Fitzgerald’s Girl In The Making, and holy god I am devouring it.

A story about girlhood, in a world not made for girls, this book is expertly written, deeply upsetting, and definitely the best thing I’ve read this year so far.

Pick up a copy, ASAP.

I find adding black mascara at the end of my daily makeup routine can suddenly turn it into a completely different look.

I have also grown sick of looking like a raccoon after a long day, or an unexpected downpour.

I’ve been avoiding wearing it at all when I want a simple dewy face, but then I remembered brown mascara exists for this exact reason!

It lifts my lashes without saying ‘I AM WEARING MASCARA’. Most of our favourite mascara brands have a brown option too.

This week, I shot a Reel for work – you can see it above.

It includes two bunches of Easter-esque flowers from Flowers.ie, and let me tell you, they are absolutely gorgeous.

They’re bright, they’re massive, and they make my sitting room/kitchen a whole nicer to walk into. Obsessed.

I went to see Kingfishr is the 3Olympia this week, and while the performance in itself was electric, I think there is an added layer of enjoyment when it is some of our own on the stage.

The national pride really raises its head when we see Irish musicians dominate a stage like the Olympia, especially when they come from humble beginnings, like in the three-man band’s case, playing a few tunes together in their college accommodation in UL.

Everyone is also a little bit more giddy at a gig where you might know someone who knows someone who knows the headlining act.
