Finding a good foundation can be such a struggle. I don’t know about you but I’ve gotten it into my head that any foundation under thirty quid isn’t going to impress me. Am I a snob for thinking this way? Perhaps… I will say however, this is an idea that I’ve developed over time from […]

Removing your makeup can either be the best or the worst part of your day – there’s no in between. Taking off your face should be refreshing, easy and satisfying, not stressful, uncomfortable and a lot of effort. I have a confession: Up until last week, I was a daemon for makeup wipes. I think […]

“Thanks hun, Penneys” has become a bit of a national catchphrase. It’s easy to see why, Penneys is the place to BE – especially in winter.

It seems that Asian food trends are ever-growing in Ireland. First we saw sushi, then ramen followed by bubble waffles. The latest trend among this popular list is bubble tea.

So the Sunday evening fear you had last night was kind of warranted because that commute in to work this morning was bloody baltic and therefore SHITE. Hey, we all feel it to – you are not alone. (Que Michael Jackson sing along) So to make you’re Monday that little bit better, here at Lovin […]

I like to eat early in the day. I much prefer indulging in a large meal for lunch or brunch rather than late in the evening. I just don’t really enjoy the feeling of being overly-full when I’m going to bed. I recently met up with two of my childhood friends whom I hadn’t seen […]

It’s National Porridge Week! It’s a known fact that if you want to start your day off right, porridge is key. It’s full of fibre, minerals and can help lower cholesterol – boom! There seems to be this notion that porridge is no fun, and I can see why… I’m usually rushing out the door […]

Bang Bang on Leinster Street in Phibsborough is one of the most popular brunch spots on the Northside, and we can see why. It’s not just a coffee shop, it’s also a deli, greengrocers and a vintage shop, so there is so much to see and do rather than just to sit and scroll through […]

One of the biggest trends in fast fashion as of late is bold printed quotes. “Taco Tuesday”, “Feminist”, “Follow Your Dreams”… you name it, it’s been printed on a not-so-good quality t-shirt that you’ll be able to pick up on the high street for under a tenner. There are two ladies however, who are taking […]

I’m a creature of habit – Most evenings I come home from work, I have 99 things to do but I find myself tucked up in a blanket sitting on my couch trawling through Instagram, planning my next destination for a meal out… Yes, I’m that obsessed with the Dublin food scene. One evening […]

Chicken is a reliable favourite, a safe option for when you’re not in the mood to pick something you might not like. It never fails, it’s always delish! Plus it’s usually a shared favourite. My roommates are very picky eaters but I know if I bring them somewhere with chicken, they’ll be happy. Thing is, […]

It happens every week. You vow to yourself that you’re not going to spend your moolah and then a friend you haven’t seen in a while messages you for a catch up. Six drinks in and you’ve blown everything you’d saved that week. Bummer. The main reason for this being that Dublin is bloody expensive […]

If there’s one thing I adore it’s desserts that come in a cocktail glass. It’s combining my two favourite things – over indulging and getting tipsy. So when I heard that a brand new chocolatey cocktail has just popped up in Dublin, I couldn’t help but drool. Drop Dead Twice has just launched a Kinder […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since setting up Lovin Dubliners, it’s that the most interesting and passionate people are ones who live an unconventional lifestyle. When I say unconventional I mean not your typical nine-to-five at a desk. When I created this series I had no idea how lucky I’d be to meet such […]

A milkshake that will bring ALL the boys to the yard. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from working in Lovin, it’s the best desserts are drank through a straw (during your meal). Pretty solid lesson, right? When I’m on a cheat meal night (every night of the week, let’s be real here), I like […]

Let’s be real, Mondays are a dose of absolute shite. It’s darker, chillier and soo much harder to get up in the mornings – and the kids being back in school means the commute to work is more than a struggle. (Face stuck up against the Luas doors, once again.) Well there’s not much I […]

Here at Lovin, knowing your brunch spots is practically and requirement. If we’re not in the office, you can be darn sure that we have a fork in hand. The thing about brunch however, is that it can often be the same across the board – eggs Benedict, French toast, baked eggs… It’s the places […]

September brings on a wave of organisation. It seems like all of those years buying back-to-school bits has brought on an annual routine.

My mother always said I was a water baby. I would spend all my days at the beach, swimming in the sea until she’d drag me home. Thing is, I moved away from my seaside home and into the big city. I miss living by the water every day. So when I met Kris Goodbody, […]
