Chemospiration, Wexford and Sunshine!
Teaming up with Tanorganic, Sam McCauleys and Marie Keating Foundation, 17th July was a fun Friday, not only for the sun splitting beautiful sunshine but for the great cause it was in aid of. Sam McCauley and Tanorganic donated 1euro per bottle sold in June and July to Breast Cancer Ireland. Marie Keating Foundation were…
Queen Dresser
When I moved into my new apartment, there was no room in my kitchen to put my beautiful shabby chic food dresser that my fabulous aunt Jane had bought me last year. I used to have the shelves lined up with tins of food and rice/pasta but now I have found an even better place…
Love Your Head Day!
Today is the 10th March and my 32nd birthday. It was also supposed to be the day of my 5th session of chemo however I hadn’t taken the steroids in preparation for it so they sent me away from the hospital for me to do my chemo tomorrow instead. I’m extremely disappointed as I wanted to mark my birthday…
Snoods of Fun!
When you have a bald head you quickly realise how insulating hair must have been! I sometimes feel a chill around my ears and the back of my neck even when I’m just sitting at home working from my laptop.

Black is Gold, Bolivian Queen
Before my new look, whenever I got ready in the mornings I would always put on my make-up first which was usually fail proof subtle brown eyeshadow.

Access your eyes!
I used to be a “less is more” girl when it came to jewellery. Unless the earrings and necklace came in a matching set, I would just wear statement earrings with a subtle necklace or vice-versa. Now it’s “more is more”. Your head needs all the company it can get! Mix accessories with strong eye makeup…
Futuristic Warrior
When I sent my dear friend Ombretta photos of my new look, she told me that I looked like a Futuristic Warrior and I thought “Yes! That’s exactly how I feel! I feel powerful, I’m a Futuristic Warrior!”. So with her words in my head, I got my inspiration for the day “Retro meets Futuristic…
Attired
Getting ready in the mornings, I rummage through my wardrobe. It takes time to to rejig my clothes to find a style that honours my head. The upside of not having hair is that I have more time on my hands in the morning to think about what outfit I should wear. I never really gave much…
Dress Your Head
It’s the second day with my shaved head and I’m starting to have more fun with clothes. Every day has become a “Dress Your Head” day! I’m realising there is a certain power to be gained when you look strong and stylish on the outside. The strong inside me needs to be reflected on the outside, if it…
