In general, 2017 was a bit of a romantic sh*tstorm and it’s looking like no one will be coming out unscathed. Chris Pratt and Anna Faris, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen… It’s all too much for us. There’s nothing quite like a bit of escapism to take you away from it all, is there? Netflix […]

You know when you reach a certain age, and certain things just thrill you? Victories are hard to come by nowadays, so we’ll take as many as we can get our grubby paws on, no matter how small. 1. Setting your alarm a tiny bit later Not necessarily a lie-in, but those mornings when you […]

We get it – it’s been a tough week. You’ve had enough of the world and all it’s wrong-doings and you just want to balm out and forget everything else exists. Stick on one of these and prepare to feel goooooooooooood. 1. About A Boy Hugh Grant in his prime? Check. Adorable child? Check. Slightly depressing back […]

We Irish love chatting absolute brown to people. In fact, we could probably teach courses in it. (Not very good courses, mind). How many of these have you dropped into a conversation when it essentially runs dry? 1. “There’s a grand stretch in the evening, isnt there?” Said every Irish woman to every other Irish woman, ever.  […]

Cork leaves a big south-Ireland-shaped-hole in your heart when you leave it, because, frankly, there’s a lot to miss.  These are the things we pine for when we’re apart from the Rebel County… 1. The English Market One of the gems of Cork city, the English Market is a treasure trove for food and fashions lovers alike.  Many […]

We have a bad habit of getting attached to beauty products. When we find something that works – a Holy Grail, as such – any slight reformulations mess with our brain.  Even worse still, is when a line decided to scrap our favourite products altogether. If it’s not too painful for you, we’ve decided to revisit our […]

Alright, alright, put your pants back on. We don’t mean that kind of mooning. Mooning has NOTHING to do with getting your arse out anymore. It’s taken on a whole new meaning thanks to the iPhone Generation. ‘Mooning’ someone (or indeed a group of people) refers to the action of silencing a chat or a group […]

Ok, ok, so maybe this has been obvious to everyone else BUT us … (A likely story, to be honest). It turns out beauty products don’t actually last forever, like we’ve been in denial about, they actually have expiry dates, just like food.  Ikr? Mind = blown. We obviously copped that we should be replacing our […]

Any wannabe Brad Pitts in our midst? Well, your big break could be closer than you think – directors are now apparently using Instagram to cast their flicks. Considering the app has made models/MUAs out of pretty much everyone, it’s not surprising that it’s now influencing the film industry. According to James Bond actor Gemma Arterton, casting […]

Any 3 bed gaffs/rooms going? 3 sound homeless gals who love Prosecco need a forever home in Dublin city centre/north side x RT […]

Conversations with taxi drivers take two forms. The first is when you’re usually either desperately hungover/late/not bothered, while Tom/Dick/Harry proceeds to chew the ear off you. The second is when you’re desperately drunk and start to view the taxi driver as Dr. Phil on wheels and begin to load all your emotional baggage on a man […]

We’re some lads to produce a gas ad. From beer and cheese to mobile contracts, we Irish have a way of selling stuff that is, eh, completely unique to us. So, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and look back at some of our faves from the last ten years of television. 1. Piggy Sue (Vodafone) […]

I spent the first two years of my adult life housekeeping in high class hotels in Cork. It was the best of times, but more often than not, it was the worst of times. However, it was a massive learning curve for me, and it taught me A LOT of valuable lessons. 1. Guests will ask anything […]

It may only be December 1, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s Christmas once the Coca Cola ad comes on telly. I’ve grown up to be especially Christmas-y this time of year, due to the fact that I have an exceptionally Grinchy family. And trust me, having a family that isn’t festivity friendly can be extremely difficult.  Here are some of the […]

Barack has a lot of bros. Chance The Rapper, Kendrick Lamar and many more greats – let’s just say he’s not short of pals to text when he wants to go out on the lash of a Saturday evening, However, without question, his Vice President Joe Biden remains his number one bro, and probably will continue to when […]

Bodies are weird. I mean, obviously they’re also amazing – that whole ‘keeping us alive and functioning’ thing is pretty underrated. But then you have things like webbed toes and double joints… yeah. Not great. Then there are the parts of the body that service absolutely no function. Appendix – I’m looking at you. Turns out that about […]
