2019 Goals
For the past few years I've written down the goals I wish to achieve for the upcoming year ahead. Realistically I wouldn't get them all done but to achieve at least one thing on the list means something to me.

5 Reasons Why You Should Live Abroad At Least Once In Your Life
Having the opportunity to live abroad at least once in your life is probably one of the greatest things you could ever experience. I've had two years abroad now and I'm in no way finished. If you have the opportunity to study abroad I would grab it with both hands. If not I would make my way abroad one way or another as I promise you'll never regret it. Here are my five reasons why you should just go for it:

My New Outlook On Life
Welcome back dolls! How fast is this year going?! I can't get over that we are already in October, I remember when It was the longest January ever then in the click of a finger it's October.
Today I'm going to talk about something I have started really investing my time in, that I believe has helped me through difficult times. But before I get into that I need to address the elephant in the room. My hair! A few weeks ago I was invited up to Dublin for a sponsored campaign with an amazing brand. You can check it out on my Instagram. It's not permanent so it's getting lighter with every wash. It was the most amazing experience though and I hope to work with them again!

What's Really Been Going On

Life Update - A&E and My Time At Home.
I came home to Ireland over the Easter break. I had originally planned on going on a trip somewhere like to Amsterdam or some city in Germany, but as something came up I just said I would go home. I thought to myself, I hadn't been home for three months so now is the perfect time! Otherwise the next time I would be home would be mid July probably!

The Best Gift Idea For Anyone
It's not normal for me to dedicate a whole post to a particular brand, however I knew I had to when I got these products in the post and saw the incredible quality of them.
Before we start, I want to state that this is not an ad, Tunetoo kindly gifted me these three products, and I was allowed to personalise them however I wanted. I did not know how good the quality was before receiving them, and after checking them out I knew this needed a post to itself.

6 Tips On Beating "Bad Days".
Everyone has bad days, they're part of being human. I for one get plenty of bad days, you wake up in the morning from the sound of your dreaded alarm clock and you drag yourself out of bed. You feel like there's a black cloud hovering over you, and the last thing you want to do is speak to someone. Or maybe you're late to work/school/college, you miss your bus, you fight with your siblings/parents/partner, you spill your coffee on your new shirt, etc. It is the start to a typical "bad" day.

I'm quite organised in this sense, if I don't have everything written down I feel like I've no control of my life, so everything is written, events, appointments, my goals and how I'll achieve them. So without rambling on, here are my five steps to achieving your goals!

12 Hours in Taormina, Sicily.
Taormina, Sicily has definitely been on my bucket list for a long time now and now as I live in Sicily I got the opportunity to go and see this stunning spot. Taormina is about a 45 minute train journey from Catania. When you arrive at the Taormina train station you must get a bus to go up to the top (because Taormina is up very high). The train and bus (both return tickets) will cost you less than €10 in total.

Why I Love Blogging
Since beginning CiaraSwalsh almost 3 years ago, I've grown so much. I've done things I've never even dreamed of doing and I've met people who bring out the best in me. In the last year or so I've found it hard to tell people I'm a "blogger" because the word has been tainted by lies and inauthentic content. However, never have I ever associated CiaraSwalsh with the bad side of blogging. Why? Because I know that I am true to my followers and to myself.
