What advice would you give to your 21 year old self?
My father is celebrating his 94th birthday today and while I was making the trip to town to see him I thought about asking him "What advice would you give to your 21 year old self?"
His advice was to enjoy life as much as you can and to do the things that make you happy because, there will come a day when you can't do those things any longer.
Main Types of Yoga - By Amara Yoga & Wellbeing
Today I was thinking that sometimes students looking to take up Yoga are overwhelmed with all the different types of Yoga types that are out there. So, I thought it best to explain briefly the main types of Yoga offered today. This is not an exclusive list and my advice would be to try a few different types and chose which one is suited to your needs. Be mindful how you feel after class as you want to enjoy the journey, whichever type of Yoga you decide to choose ;)
The Celebrity Skin Care Trend You Should Never Try .. Let's Keep It Natural!
If you are like many women, you likely hear of a new celebrity beauty secret and then become eager to try it out. While many celebrities are beautiful, the truth is that they are not scientists or dermatologists.
That means that just because you hear that a celebrity has shared a new skin care tip, you shouldn't assume it is healthy for your skin. In fact, replicating the celebrity skin care trend of skipping your morning facial cleanse can be disastrous for your skin, and here's why.
Why You Should Never Skip Your Morning Facial Cleanse
It's OK Not to Feel OK
We can all have off days where we feel like we wished the ground would just swallow us up. However, we do not want to stay in this energy too long. Some people find it easier than others to snap out of more darker times in their lives. Judgements from well meaning people telling us to snap out of it are not helpful and, at times can add another layer of anxiety or shame.
Beauty and Belonging at Athlone Fashion Trail
Earlier this year I had attended the Galway Fashion Trail which was one of the highlights of my blogging life!! I have to admit though I did have some self esteem and confidence issues to deal with and feelings around "not fitting in". But what a difference a few months make to a girl's self confidence!
Finding The Tribe You Belong To in the Everyday World!
As I come to the end of week one of my on line chakra course I am reflecting what has come up for me as I delve into the course alongside those doing it. This week we looked at belonging.
When we find our tribe or community we automatically feel a sense of belonging and a sense of comfort and a feeling of being okay to be ourselves in this community.
Being Authentic On Line
The word authentic is used so much these days in relation to being who we truly want to be. If we are working in the digital space our digital foot print reveals our authenicity. We often know whether or not we resonate with a person when we meet them in the more traditional off line networking sceanario. We may like the vocabulary they use and know that we could do business with them.

A Journey to Myrrh .. The Archetype of the Divine Mother
Guest blog post by the lovely Jenn from www.rune-journeys.com
The Earth is ever generous. Plants grow, flowers continue to blossom from climbing vines and this far into the summer, many people are enjoying the fruits of their gardening labors. One of my core beliefs is that nature never disappoints us and is ever present to support our well-being on all levels of body, mind and spirit. When I walk down to the sea, and watch the waves rolling in without end I think, here is my constant companion. Any blues I’m feeling can be consoled by the rain, changed by a crashing thunderstorm, or lifted off by a clear sky, one of those days when the horizon blends perfectly with the ocean. That blue is only interrupted by flights of sea gulls. Sinking feet into sand, soil, thick carpets of verdant moss or stepping across the smooth stones of a rushing river, we are balanced, restored and find relief from racing and turbulent thoughts.
Sex and Seaweed by Helena Tubridy
No, it’s not just for the ladies. Iodine turbo-charges sperm. Sperm make babies. Good sex gets sperm to where they need to be for conception. Trying for a baby often breeds a different kind of sex to your free-range fun sex.
Intimacy is a crucial component of any healthy relationship. Being able to show affection and share intimate moments with your significant other are signs that you and your partner are content with the way things are going and that you’re in a happy relationship. However, come stress, children, and pressures of daily life and many couples find themselves in unhappy relationships and marriages, and that’s when intimacy, as well as the relationship, are put on a back burner.
