Ben and I popped along to Xico on Tuesday for a tequila tasting, which was running as part of the Taste of Mexico festival, and picked up lots of lessons on how it's really meant to be drunk (hint: not with salt and lime). I don't

I'm super excited to share some pics from work I did for About Face: The Smart Woman's Guide to Beauty. Written by Irish Times beauty writers Aisling McDermott and Laura Kennedy, we did the shoots back in July and I have been itching to share more

Emotional, tipsy goodbyes. A long, rainy, podcast-filled drive to Kerry. A cosy afternoon tea as dusk closes in and a fire crackles.

How was your bank holiday weekend? Mine was so restful, exactly what I needed. I enjoyed some of my favourite things, click though if you'd like to see. 1. Elizabeth Gilbert's new book, Big Magic. It's filled with encouraging, heartening and no-BS advice on
Dublin
I really wanted to create something that drew from Dublin's historical graphic language. I find we're quick here to dismiss anything that feels even vaguely like the past sometimes, but working in period filmmaking has made me more aware of how modern some of those antiquities

We were sitting on the couch, Ben was about to settle into some Rocket League (great fun btw), and I was about to tackle the mammoth pile of Sunday papers when that gorgeous, golden autumn light started streaming in. So we grabbed our cameras and strolled over to our local
