A letter to my Freshers self

A letter to my Freshers self

With CAO results coming up this Friday, university has been on my mind. Having left two years ago now, it is still something that I often stop to think about or am reminded of. University for me was three rollercoaster years but honestly, I think I'd go back to that lifestyle in a heartbeat right [...]

Graduate’s guide to staying positive while job hunting

Graduate’s guide to staying positive while job hunting

The cap has been thrown, celebrations have run their course and the inevitable questioning from everyone around you begins; "So what's the next step? Where are you applying? Do you have anything secured down now that Uni has finished?" If the answer to all these questions can be spelled out in two letters and generally [...]

A weekend at Vancouver Fashion Week SS18

A weekend at Vancouver Fashion Week SS18

Over the years, one thing has become extremely apparent to me; you never really know what's around the next corner. Last weekend was a shining example of this little life observation as I found myself sitting on the press desk at Vancouver Fashion Week SS18. On arrival to Vancouver I knew that I was going [...]

Why I struggle to live in the moment

Why I struggle to live in the moment

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. - Norman Vincent Peale  As I sit down to write this, I've just wiped my eyes after having yet another (no doubt 'time of the month' induced) little emotional breakdown. To be perfectly honest putting into words the reasons behind this slip [...]

We moved to Vancouver, BC!

We moved to Vancouver, BC!

Welcome back to my apologetically inconsistent blogging and another post! I intended to write this one a little over two weeks ago but that thing called 'life' got majorly in the way and sitting down to write was unfortunately low down on the list of priorities as I attempted to set up shop in Canada. [...]

2018: Where have I been?

2018: Where have I been?

So I am for sure a little late to the party with the new year new me - esque posts as it is already one week into March, however in true Luce style it's better late then never. Actually scrap that, this post is less of a resolution stating list but rather a life update [...]

My balls have soul, do yours?

My balls have soul, do yours?

In February 2017, Nadra Shah set up Kitchen & Soul, a nutritious endeavour with a wholesome ethos. I recently was given the opportunity to experience her vision when I was sent a box of her energy balls. A sufferer from depression, Nadra sought to focus her energy into creating a positive, natural relationship with food [...]

Water; the freebie you should bag today

Water; the freebie you should bag today

Since coming back to Uni, I must admit my healthy eating regime has not gone as well as I had planned. I had forgotten the effort involved in actually remembering to go to Asda to stock up the cupboard. Not having healthy ingredients, or any at all for that matter, readily available has caused me [...]

Super snacks to calm that post gym hanger

Super snacks to calm that post gym hanger

If you're anything like me, you'll understand how necessary post gym snacking is. I'm not talking about sitting down and cracking open that packet of digestives or chocolate bar on the Luas home, but rather a small protein ball or fruity bite to curb the hunger and prevent the dreaded fridge raiding. I have searched [...]

Five of the best drop in fitness classes in Dublin

While I am in a committed relationship with my gym membership, I have found that every once in a while it can be fun to branch out and explore other class timetables to keep my fitness regime fun and interesting. I love finding different ways to exercise and fight the fat! Hence why I have [...]
