I may look absolutely wrecked here and it’s because I was! This was after a 35 km cycle and to say I was f*cked is an understatement!

Also @eoghan_bell took me on my first mini mountain bike trail yesterday - athough i didn’t fare all too well but sure, ya have to start somewhere!

Pretty sure 2020 has been an all-round-awful year for us all, but one thing I am sooo bloody proud of is really improving my fitness. Before, my health anxiety meant I was literally afraid of my own heartbeat. You may wonder how ya can live like that, and to be honest, it was an absolute nightmare. As was trying to hide it from everybody.

Anything that raised my heartbeat was something I avoided - stairs, tense movies, exercise, everything. Once my heartbeat went too high a panic attack was always lurking around the corner. It sounds so crazy but I wish I could help everyone understand.

This year I have started running multiple times a week, been out cycling, have restarted doing yoga and stretching again and sure now as ya know, I’m going to be a professional roller skater :P

So although 2020 has been a bit of a shit show, I am glad I have done all this good stuff for myself. My anxiety may always be hovering in the background but it's definitely a huge improvement. I don’t feel proud of myself too often, but this is one of those times.

Have you overcome any personal obstacles in 2020? Or has even one positive thing come from it for ya?!? Think we've all done a bit of work on ourselves 😅

This one time @eoghan_bell and I went to walk this

This one time @eoghan_bell and I went to walk this famous Cardia hill loop. We got a little lost and ended up wandering off through the woods. We still don’t know if we did the actual proper loop or were just nearby it! But whatever we did, it was still amazing.

There were beautiful stone steps carved into the ground the whole way around. After passing by waterfalls, we ended up at a point looking out across the Killarney lakes. A pretty amazing view considering we were wandering aimlessly and assuming we were lost!

Already desparate for a lil trip away again. There was a time a few years ago where every single day off was a mini “staycation”. Those were the days. Whether it be with my friends or eoghan, I have visited most of Irelands main attractions, some a ridiculous amount of times. But still, any weekend at home seems like a wasted weekend to me! Dontcha agree?

I hope #secondhandseptember is still going strong for you guys!

As well as not constantly buying new clothes, it’s really good to know how to pass on some of your old ones too.

There are so many ways. The main one - we have charity shops.

One issue I had was that if i had clothes that were not in great condition, I would feel bad giving them to a charity shop and would end up throwing them out. The other day @thegreenerguru put up such a cool post. Basically to pass on her wisdom, if you have clothes with holes etc, you can rip them up and put them in a bag labelled “rags”. Charity shops will normally take these to sell to mechanics and builders. Such a great way to get rid of those bits that are very worn.

One other way is Depop. Although I am not very consistent when it comes to depop, it really is a great way to pass on some clothes. Even Instagram is a great platform to get rid of some clothes collecting dust. Recently @roisinkearnsx popped up some stuff on her stories and I rushed into her DMs to nab a pair of second hand (unreallll) flared trousers.

Once thing me and my friend @everythingobsess did was, we both gathered all the clothes we wanted to sell on depop. I fecked my monstrous mound into my boot and went to visit her. In the end we did a clothes swap. We both picked things we liked from each other's pile. I went home with 3 or 4 new full outfits, and also had gotten rid of some of mine, but in a way that they would still be loved.

Why not try doing a clothing swap with your friends next time you’re itching for a new outfit?

I swear, could have done with another week in Done

I swear, could have done with another week in Donegal. Donegal is joined first for my fav county in #ireland. This was another stop off on our short trip - Assaranca waterfall.

Now I do love a good hike up to a waterfall or view because it just seems so much rewarding when you finally walk over the top (struggle over heaving for air more like!) and have something so MAJESTICAL in front of you.

This waterfall is still damn majestical but is very conveniently right alongside a road. Perfect for those who don’t like a long walk.

Yes majestical might not seem like a real word to you. But it is a real world if you have seen “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”. One of my absolute fav movies. You should watch it.

This is Murder Hole Beach. An intimidating name fo

This is Murder Hole Beach. An intimidating name for an equally intimidating beach. No for real though, this beach is amazing. Although no one knows EXACTLY where it got it’s unusual name, it is thought that it may because of the crazy violent waves that crash into the shore every day.

Eoghan and I literally stood in awe watching as massive waves rolled inland and hurled themselves at the beach. The noise in the area was incredible and just as aggressive as the water.

The only way to access this special place is by foot. There are no roads but instead you must cross a field of cows to get there. So respect must be given, as this farmer is nice enough to allow people to pass through his land to witness the place.

This is an oldie of me takin care of my plant babies!

I had done a Q&A box agesssss ago and answered the questions while repotting my plants this day, but the video never saw the light of day. Oops.

OOHHH and my peacelily FINALLY decided to bloom. First bloom of 2020...coming into Autumn instead of Spring. Very weird! Although don't we all get a bit (a lot) excited going into Autumn?!

Love you guys' opinions on sunrise/sunset the othe

Love you guys' opinions on sunrise/sunset the other day! And especially those who preferred sunrise. It is true, it does seem to be more special, because you’re up and awake to see the sun emerge while everyone else is sleeping.

I wish I could drag myself out of the leaba for some sunrises but it’s just not to be. I would have to be pulled from the bed dragging my pillow behind me!

In Donegal we did make one attempt to be up for sunrise while camping. Of course that was the one morning with the low lying cloud and fog. Not a sunrise to be seen! We tried though!

I am 100% a night owl, and a habitual star gazer. Normally before going to bed, I get such a craving to go outside, standing in the cool fresh air and gaze up at the dazzling lights above me. Just the moon to keep me company.

That is one of the reasons I love sunset. Because the sky puts on a spectacular show just before the darkness returns. From golden hour, to blood orange sunset and intense streaks of blues and pinks. Finally to black. Its funny that the time you should be sleeping is when you can feel most awake.

Somethin I read recently really stuck with me. And

Somethin I read recently really stuck with me. And really pissed me off. “There is currently enough clothing on the planet to clothe the next 6 generations”. Let me just say that again… there’s currently enough clothing on the planet to clothe the next 6 generations. Now doesn’t that make ya sick. (it makes me sick!)

So i think we all know there’s a lot of clothes on the planet. And this has only accelerated beyond belief in recent years. You know up until the 60s, companies would only bring out 4 new collections a year - spring, summer autumn winter.

Know how many collections on average fast fashion retailers release a year now? 52 collections for 52 “Mirco-seasons”. A new clothing range is available every week of the year.

Why is that? So that you always feel BEHIND. You always feel like you are behind the times and keep adding and adding to your basket to keep up. These companies don’t do this for our benefit. They do it for theirs. BTW this strategy isn’t generally aimed at men. Mostly women.

Companies like Missguided, Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing, Penneys keep churning out millions of items of clothing a year. That no one actually needs. How many of these will be worn once before going to landfill? How many will never be worn at all?

There are so many ways to get “new” clothes without contributing to this.

One way is buying second hand on Depop or even through Instagram. Bought these from the lovely @roisinkearnsx 😊 .

They are stunning and to me felt as good as new. And TBH it makes me so much happier knowing that these are pre owned and pre loved.

#SecondHandSeptember is a 30-day campaign originally by Oxfam encouraging people across the UK to stop buying new clothes for the month in a bid to curb our fast fashion habits — BUT why don’t we all get involved.

Enjoying a stunning sunset at Ross Castle the othe

Enjoying a stunning sunset at Ross Castle the other week. Second year in a row we’ve witnessed a crazy good sunset here.

I feel like everyone has a clear preference - sunset or sunrise. I am strictly a sunset person. Mainly because i am NOT a morning person… AT ALL. But secondly, because dusk can be the most mezmirising time of day.

Which is yer fav? Sunrise or sunet? ☀ 🌇
