<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I first came across the law of attraction when I was about 14 but I didn’t start to really apply it in my life until my early 20's. Since then, I have manifested my perfect relationship, manifested the perfect dream city I’m living in now and much more! </span></span></div>

It’s the idea that we can manifest everything we want in our lives no matter how big or small through the power of our mind.</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The law of attraction is basically the theory that you attract what you are. Everything in life is a vibration and it is all vibrating at a frequency. Like a radio, if you are tuned on channel 2.0, you are ONLY going to hear the music or whatever it is that is at the frequency 2.0. It is impossible to hear anything from, say, channel 10.0. </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Even if you cannot see it, everything around you, including yourself, is vibrating constantly. So, like the radio, if your thoughts, actions and words are constantly focusing on negative things, you are vibrating at a very low negative frequency, and like the radio, you will only attract more negativity into your life. It is impossible to attract positive things such as love, happiness and wealth if you are letting out negative vibrations.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Think about it, when you meet someone who is negative and horrible, do you feel like you want to be with them and spend time with them? Probably the answer is no, but if you meet someone and they are smiley, friendly and genuine, you feel like you want to get to know them and spend time with them. This is all the law of attraction, it’s just that maybe you didn’t know the term for it before. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, the first step in implementing the law of attraction into your lives, is to love yourself. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We hear all the time that we must love ourselves, but what does that exactly mean? It’s not about thinking you're above anyone else or thinking you are the best. It’s about appreciating yourself for exactly who you are. Appreciating and loving all aspects of your imperfect self from personality to physical appearance. Acknowledging the wonderful aspects of yourself that no one else has because you are unique and you are the only you in the world!</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I know most people including myself have gone through phases in their lives of insecurity, low self-esteem etc, I was and still sometimes am the same. And this is not to say these feelings are not legit but it’s being aware and willingly choosing to see the good that you have inside and outside of yourself even if maybe no one else does. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To practice self love is so important because this is the foundation on which everything comes, positively or negatively in our lives. If you cannot love yourself, how can anyone else love you? If you don’t enjoy spending time with yourself, how can you expect others to enjoy spending time with you?</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. I love that I can communicate well with others</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you find it hard to write things you LOVE about yourself, start with LIKE and soon this will turn into LOVE. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> We always tend to focus on what we don’t have or what we’re lacking. Especially with social media, it’s so easy nowadays to compare ourselves with others and feel like we are not as “good” as them. The reality is you are. And you are the first person who needs to realise this.</span></span></div>

THIRD PRINCIPLE</h3>

For me, I believe in God, and the law of attraction is literally the exact same as what the Bible says. </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>

It can literally be anything, from wanting a free coffee from someone today to buying that seaside villa. There is an unlimited amount of resources in the world to give everyone what they want and more, so just ask! </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>

It’s not about dreaming about the nice car and dream job, but thinking it’s never going to happen. It’s about truly believing that what you asked for is already yours! It’s just a matter of time before one way or another it will come to you. </span></span></div>

When you’ve made that list, you are 100 percent certain you’re going to get it on Christmas day. You know that what you’ve asked for will be yours on the 25th December, and you start to feel so excited and you start to feel what it’d be like to play with that Xbox when it’s finally in your hands. It’s just a case of waiting. </span></span></div>

Know and really believe that what you’ve asked for is coming. Practice feeling the emotions of what it is already like having what you asked for in this moment. For example, if you want the perfect partner, feel the emotions of happiness, love and joy of having this perfect person in THIS moment. Feel like you’re already in love with this person and practice giving and showing these emotions to everyone and everything around you right now.</span></span></div>

So you’ve asked and believed but you can’t now just sit in your house and do nothing. It doesn’t work like that. You have to do your part and live your life trusting that while you do so, the things you’ve asked for will naturally come to you.</span></span></div>

We tend to, as humans, hold on to these bad feelings towards them which is why when we ,for example, break up badly with an ex, we let it the hurt we felt affect the next relationship we enter into.

Likewise, if you are putting your happiness on future things, for example, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’ll be happy when I get a new job”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you’re placing your happiness on something that doesn’t exist.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">About a year and a half ago I was in a bad place, my past relationship was breaking down which brought a lot of negativity to my life, I never thought about myself and what I wanted, meaning I constantly went against everything I truly wanted in life.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One day I thought to myself, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“What do I actually want?”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I wanted to move abroad and teach English. But I needed a proper qualification to do so. Yes, I had some experience but sometimes people need the piece of paper along with experience to get hired. </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So I began completely focusing on the idea of getting a CELTA and moving abroad. Italy was always in the back of my mind, I always told myself, I belong in Italy. Italy is my home. However, I wanted to see if I could go somewhere else instead, so I thought about Australia!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was working in a random job in Galway and within the space of a few days my relationship ended and I lost my job. It was like a train had hit me. Despite all of this, I remember that I was strangely calm as I knew something bigger was at work here. And sure enough, my life flipped 180 degrees. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I had researched about a CELTA which was supposed to start the following July. But having lost my job I decided to just check on their website to see if there was one I could do sooner. And there was! </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Within 2 weeks of losing my job, I enrolled for the CELTA.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I had a few days before my leave so I went on holiday to Italy and this holiday changed everything. I was with my boyfriend (yes, within those months I nabbed myself a new and improved man!) and the time I spent in Italy in these few days just made me realise that I belonged in Italy.</span></span></div>

It never stops and it’s always obedient. I know this is not a simple process. Trust me I am not perfect at this either and of course I have days where I’m in a negative place or I find myself talking badly about something or that I’m putting my energy of thought and actions on something negative. However, when you become more aware of your thoughts and actions, you can stop yourself from continuing down that path. It’s a constant journey of growth so don’t expect to be able to do this perfectly immediately. Everyday as you consciously work on implementing it, you’ll find that it becomes easier and easier. </span></span></div>

<span face="">So if you’ve ever admired the work of Banksy and love murals as much as I do, then 30 minutes from Bologna leads you to the small town of Dozza, a town covered (and I mean literally) in murals! I know, I’d also never heard about it before, but my friend Juliette had been going on about how much she wanted to go and my boyfriend also suggested the same so we all decided to make a trip there, and I can say it didn’t disappoint! <span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After just 30 mins we arrived at the quaint town of Dozza. It was very easy to find and there was a big parking space right beside the entrance of the town which was so convenient! We went by car which is the best way to get there but if this isn’t an option for you, there are several buses from Bologna which take you to Dozza. The quickest and easiest way to get from Bologna centre to Dozza with public transport is by taking the number 25 bus from Via Rizzoli or the towers (direction Gomito) which will take about 27minutes. There are also 101 or 147 buses but these take much longer (like almost 2 hours!) so I highly recommend trying to take the 25 bus if you can :) </span></div>

Who would have thought such a small town would have a castle! It was such a nice surprise and then we were soon struck by all the murals decorating almost all the walls and even the ceilings! Dozza is like an open-air museum, you can gaze at more than a hundred works by famous artists. The event of bringing prestigious artists to Dozza to paint on its walls started in 1960, and every 2 years it brings street artists and painters from all over the world. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><span style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 100px;"></span></span></div>

Dozza is an extremely small town and so there are a limited number of cafes or restaurants (there was also only one ATM and tabbachi from what we could see) however just a few minutes from the castle we found a cute little cafe to have our breakfast. The prices were not over priced and we were able to fuel ourselves up for the many picture taking that was to follow! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After strolling around it was time for lunch. We had already booked a reservation for a restaurant called Osteria di Dozza which we found on <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.ie/Restaurant_Review-g1081288-d1412994-Reviews-Osteria_di_Dozza-Dozza_Province_of_Bologna_Emilia_Romagna.html">TripAdvisor</a>. I HIGHLY recommend making reservations before you make a journey IF you know that the place you’re visiting is small or if you know the exact place you want to eat at. Like I said before, Dozza only has a few restaurants, so when it gets to lunch or dinner time, the restaurants fill up FAST and you might end up having to wait a long time or end up eating at a place you don’t particularly fancy. When we arrived at Osteria di Dozza we were quickly taken to our table by the friendly staff and were given the menus immediately. The decor was so unique and it had such a homely feel overall. Since Dozza is still in the Emilia Romagna region, the menu was predominantly foods from this region, such as tortellini, lasagne and ragu. We decided to order "Gran Tagliere di salumi" which is basically a plate of various ham and cheese accompanied by tigelle and crescentine. We then ordered a main dish each along with a glass of the house wine (red) which was served in the cutest jug! We were surprised and happy to see that the prices were all extremely reasonable, the portions were VERY generous and the service was perfect! (They also have wifi for any of you who need it!).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As we had already seen all of Dozza by this point, we were able to enjoy a relaxing meal and didn’t feel like we needed to rush out to see more. In fact, we stayed eating for almost 3 hours!</span></div>

Rocca Sforzesca (the castle) is only 5 Euros to enter and you can see many different things such as the cutting well and prisons! You can also look out from the tower of the castle which gives you an amazing view of Dozza and its surroundings :)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While we were looking around, we stumbled across the basement which is just ahead of the reception desk. This part of the castle is free to enter so if you don’t feel like you want to enter the castle itself but still want to see the wine cell, you can! Here we found the largest variety of wines and spirits spread along the walls of the cell. We were in awe at the selection and were taken aback by the prices of the bottles! The cheapest bottle was just under 4 Euros! They really had everything from grappa to rose and everything in between. Not sure which one to purchase? They have self-service wine tasting!! We couldn’t believe the simple and convenient set up that they had in the cell, where you can taste any of the wines in the machine for a small price. In order to use this little piece of heaven (unless you’re Juliette and don’t like wine!), you must first go to the cash desk in the cell and ask for a card. They will ask for a form of ID so make sure you have it with you. This card allows you to taste the wine (or wines in our case) of your choice for as little as 70c per tasting. You must insert the card into the machine before using it and then you’re ready to go! The information of your wine tasting is all stored on the card which you then have to present to the staff to pay. We tried 7 different wines between the three of us and in total we paid only</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">€</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; white-space: pre-wrap;">9.60. This was definitely an unexpected and enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend you try it yourself if you’re ever in Dozza!</span></div>

Time is absolutely flying! Now that I’m settled and in my element, I wanted to share my experience, how I got a job within literally a day of looking, and some advice on things I wish I had known before.</span></span></span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finding Work</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">So as some of you know I was supposed to move to Australia back in October, I had a teaching job set up, flights booked etc. But I ended up pulling out of it last minute as I knew I would have regretted it if I went. I'm a strong believer in going with your gut. That's how I ended up in Bologna and four months later I'm delighted I followed my instincts. </span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the academic year usually starts in September/October, I knew I had to be quick looking for a job. It was so rushed but I ended up being very lucky. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I began by researching all the English teaching jobs on <a href="https://it.indeed.com/?r=us">Indeed</a>. I found some, but not many. I thought to myself, why don't I look up every English Language school in Bologna and just send emails? So I did just that. I think I sent about 10 emails to 10 different schools. I got a few replies and after a day I had my first interview (I know, amazing right?!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I immediately booked flights and I was on the next flight to Bologna. When I arrived I had a few interviews but I went with the school which gave me the most hours. Many schools here don't give you many hours so be sure to ask this in your interview when you have one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found it quite easy to find a teaching job. However I know my CELTA Certification was one of the reasons for getting it, as well as being a native speaker and having 2+ years teaching experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So within the space of only a few days, I got a job. I still can't get my head around it when I think about it! The key? Email every place you can find EVEN IF the job is not advertised. Trust me, it works.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
First Month of Work</h3>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My first month at work was a training period, which means I had to be there from morning to evening, sometimes not doing anything. Which honestly, was quite tiring as I knew I was well capable of teaching but I was treated as if I had never taught in my life. So I used that month to prove to them that I was great at my job. Within a few days I know I managed that. So when you arrive, do your best as they need to know the person they're hiring knows what they're doing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In my first month I also got paid a fixed amount of money which was quite low (about less than half of what I'm making now) so being financially stable for the first month was possible only because I had savings, but if I didn't it would have been a problem for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Saying all of this, it was beneficial in some ways as I got to observe some of the teacher's classes, I love seeing other teaching styles as you can always improve your teaching game. I could also look through all the books they had to get to know the curriculums etc.<br />
<br />
The school was also very accommodating and helped me if I had any questions, big or small. They also gave me many classes during my training period so I was also teaching while I was in training.<br />
<br />
Overall the first month was definitely tiring but it definitely helped.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
A Typical Day</h3>
<br />
<br />
After my training month I could finally come and go as I pleased. This definitely helped as I could go home to eat if I had the time etc.<br />
A typical day as an English teacher is quite unpredictable. Every day is different. Monday's I'm only in the afternoon for a few hours whereas Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Thursday's I'm in for about 12 hours with a few hours here or there as a break. Fridays are lovely on the other hand as I have probably one or maximum two private lessons. The only bummer is, I work for 3 hours every Saturday, I love the class but I love my weekends more ahaha. However I think I got lucky with all the hours I have. I'm so grateful to be busy as I believe it's better to be busy then not.<br />
<br />
I usually start my day with a cup of tea and depending when my first class is, I arrive an hour before to plan. I take the bus as driving in Bologna isn't the best when you're not allowed drive in the centre without a permit!<br />
I teach a range of courses, whether it's exam preparation courses, to general English, to kids classes, to conversation. I have an array of courses to teach so it really keeps things interesting.<br />
Some days I finish at 10:15 p.m. so I feel like I'm becoming nocturnal because of it ahah.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
4 Months Later</h3>
<br />
<br />
I've been working here for four months now, I've learned a lot in my time from being here. One of which is to stop putting pressure on myself and try to make everything perfect. I am a perfectionist so I like to be prepared etc. However, considering I have so many varying classes I don't have so much time to perfect it all, so I stop stressing and I only do what's humanly possible. Teachers never really stop working so I have to try to keep my evenings to myself and not have to worry about preparing a lesson on the Future Perfect Continuous for the next day!<br />
<br />
I believe, because of this, my teaching has improved, I give myself less time to prepare and taught myself to use my time wisely. I still use a lot of the techniques I've learned in Galway which I love doing. I'm looking forward to learning more, getting even more experience and feeling on top of things. I really feel so settled in the job and I look forward to seeing my students everyday.<br />
<br />
If I look back on the beginning thinking about all that I know now I would say to stop over preparing. In reality you'll never have enough time to prepare the perfect lesson. Just do what you can and trust that you can do it.<br />

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't let anyone tell you that you can't wear a skirt to work. Of course you can. Obviously don't go over the top and wear a tiny skirt with bear legs. I like to wear black tights with my skirts to work as well as pairing them with my sock boots. It's a classy yet respectful outfit to wear in the workplace. I've had these pieces in my wardrobe for about three years, I love creating new outfits with the clothes I already have. The newest addition is this H&M top which I can pair with everything!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can never go wrong with the colour black. This is an outfit I rely on for days I have no idea what I'm going to wear! It's so effortless, however it looks like I put thought into it. I like to call it the lazy person's look to looking put together lol!</span></div>

Our beauty routine is something I believe becomes more important as we grow. I remember when I was younger I had a shocking beauty routine that I wish, looking back, I would have known to take better care of my skin!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I used to have very bad acne when I was younger, I used to be so self conscious of my skin but I feel a lot more confident with it now. Why? Because I started looking after it!<br />
<br />
I haven't discussed my morning skincare and makeup routine here for a long time and I feel I need to update that for you all now. These products all work for me and I use them religiously!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Morning Skincare Routine</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
For as long as I can remember, I've had oily skin but over the years I've really managed to control it. I know that's down to the steps I do everyday. However, I'll get into my acne journey in a more detailed post down the line.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
STEP ONE:</h4>
When I wake up in the morning I usually just splash my face with warm water or I use a warm wet cloth to gently clean my skin. I tend not to use a cleanser in the morning, just when I'm going to bed. I always use my <a href="https://moogoo.ie/oil-cleansing-method">MooGoo Cleansing Oil</a> with a warm cloth.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
STEP TWO:</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next, I move onto the newest addition to the CiaraSwalsh skincare family, my <a href="https://www.cloud10beauty.com/collections/the-ordinary/products/the-ordinary-hyaluronic-acid-2-b5">The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid,</a> I've heard so much about Hyaluronic acid for years now and when I heard The Ordinary did a very inexpensive one I bought one. When I was home for Christmas, I bought two more bottles to bring over with me. This has changed my skincare game for the better, my skin is so much more hydrated, bright, and less tired looking. My skin just feels better with it on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_yTdMCbgE6TYO4Dj0W2OLi7VN7JiqxyMXRKlWIetNqzN3VHui6wCCW6BUcInsifs_9iBkRpbJj73RV3YciMN3GDr93G8zGtRJr6idqykOOPhoJB93zXsmXKgWx83atCXcv-It4GAVwRA/s1600/IMG_7764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="627" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_yTdMCbgE6TYO4Dj0W2OLi7VN7JiqxyMXRKlWIetNqzN3VHui6wCCW6BUcInsifs_9iBkRpbJj73RV3YciMN3GDr93G8zGtRJr6idqykOOPhoJB93zXsmXKgWx83atCXcv-It4GAVwRA/s1600/IMG_7764.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
STEP THREE:</h4>
<div>
Finally, I move onto my ride or die moisturiser, my <a href="https://moogoo.ie/blemish-cleansing-moisturiser">MooGoo Blemish Cleansing Moisturiser</a>. I've been using this moisturiser for about five years now and I've honestly never looked back. I would be lost without it!! I apply it morning and night.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Simple, Everyday Makeup Look</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having enough time in the morning is something we never really have, I for one, never have enough time in the morning, so I always do simple makeup. However, saying that, I still want to look my best! <span style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is my “go to” simple and natural everyday makeup look which makes me look put-together while only taking me less than 10 minutes! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>

<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
STEP ONE: FOUNDATION</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use the <a href="https://makeup.it/product/225049/?gclid=CjwKCAiA1L_xBRA2EiwAgcLKA8Ojzd84IisOevYlWo-rtJuuMTi8H8IpNd10mzD3IT-OleLWi3sK8RoCDT8QAvD_BwE">Rimmel London Lasting Finish foundation</a> in their lightest shade (I'm so pale, help me). I like this foundation as it actually does last ages. I work very long hours and it stays on all day. It's also super cheap so it's perfect.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I treated myself over the Christmas by buying myself the famous <a href="https://www.brownthomas.com/beauty/make-up/face/powder/translucent-loose-setting-powder/143x2977x12321001.html?dwvar_143x2977x12321001_color=Translucent&cgid=beauty-powder#start=1">Laura Mercier translucent powder.</a> This is quite expensive for a translucent powder but I know why people rave about it. It's like real life airbrush for your skin!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love a good bronzer as I am very pale. I have to contour everyday, if I don't, I feel like my face is the shape of an egg! This <a href="https://www.misslyn.com/en/make-up/teint/bronzing-contouring/beach-please-bronzing-contouring-powder.html#4051564022997">Misslyn mini contour powder</a> is perfect and it's very cheap too!</div>

I got this <a href="https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_130901580499_-1">Benefit blush</a> two Christmasses ago and it hasn't even hit pan yet! It's the mini version (which I believe is a lot so don't go buying the bigger version if you don't want to spend more money.) I love how subtle this blush is and how buildable it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this eyeshadow as a tester from <a href="https://www.brownthomas.com/beauty/make-up/eyes/caviar-stick-eye-colour---eyeshadow-liner/143x5768x12701635.html?cgid=beauty-eyes&dwvar_143x5768x12701635_color=Cobblestone#prefn1=brand&prefv1=LAURA+MERCIER&start=1">Laura Mercier</a> when I bought the translucent powder and I have fallen in love.

STEP SIX: BROWS</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My brows are my babies. I rarely get them done as I maintain them myself. I ran out of the pencils I would usually use and I decided to treat myself to a new pencil at Christmas. This <a href="https://www.brownthomas.com/beauty/make-up/brows/eyebrow-pencil/70x2174x1061944.html?dwvar_70x2174x1061944_color=5_Ebony&cgid=beauty-brows#prefn1=brand&prefn2=refinementType&prefv1=YVES+SAINT+LAURENT&prefv2=BrowPencil&start=1">YSL brow pencil</a> cost about<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white;">€26 in Brown Thomas and for designer I think it's quite a reasonable price.</span></span></div>

I've had this <a href="https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932061399_-1">Urban Decay lipstick </a>about two years now, one of my closest friends bought it for me and it's been my favourite lipstick ever since. I use the colour '<a href="https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932061399_-1">Backseat</a>'. I'm coming to the end of the stick, so when it runs out, I too will be running to buy another!</div>

Hair</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hair is something I really pride, I've had long hair for as long as I can remember and taming it can be a struggle. I've had countless hairbrushes which pulled the hair out of my head because of the knots. But Nancy, the owner of <a href="https://www.thebellebrush.com/">Bell Hair </a>in Galway, Ireland, got in contact with me many months ago to try out their new <a href="https://www.thebellebrush.com/products/the-belle-brush">Belle Brush.</a> So of course I said yes as I really needed something to be kinder to my hair. I've been using it ever since, it's so gentle on my hair and I get such a smooth brushing from it. I would highly recommend buying it if you have knotty hair like me or if you have extensions (as they're also designed for extensions)!</div>

Perugia is probably one of the most magical Italian cities I've ever been to and it's definitely the next tourist hotspot!!</div>
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Perugia is a medieval city with a wall surrounding its historical centre. Every street is full of beauty! I was lucky to visit this wonderful city during my time off after the Christmas holidays. So I've put together this post to help you know all things Perugia: How to get there, transport within the city, where to stay, and all the good stuff! </div>
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How to get there</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">From within Italy:</span></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Train - around 3 hours from Bologna but varies on where you're coming from, it's definitely a more expensive option. However, the journey lasts around 2hours 15mins.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bus - </span><a href="https://global.flixbus.com/" style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Flixbus</a><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is definitely the cheapest option - can be as cheap as 9.99 euros one way from Bologna. Again duration of the journey can vary from where you're coming from.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">By car - This may vary depending where you're travelling from but from Bologna it should take 3 hours maximum and from Rome it should take just over 2 hours.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div>

</div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">From outside Italy:</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is an airport however it is small so check with the airline you're flying with. The airport is called Perugia Santegidio (PEG).
</span></li>
<li><b>Public transport from the airport to the centre:</b>Two bus services make a stop at the airport, bus number E007 and bus number E422. If you don't want to spend money on taxis, the bus is a great and inexpensive option. The only thing is, both buses run only a few times a day for the airport. The bus takes about 30 minutes to get to the centre.<br /><br />The ticket to Perugia for a single journey costs € 2.50 and<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"> can buy it in the airport bar inside the airport. However, you can also buy tickets from the bus driver but they'll cost an extra </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre;">€1.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>ACAP-SULGA to Perugia (airport bus)</b></span>There is also the ACAP-SULGA shuttle buses coming and going from Perugia airport. These buses always coincide with flight arrivals and departures. So even though it's more expensive than the public transport option, at least you'll be sure to get a bus to the centre.<br /><br />The ACAP-SULGA takes you to the Perugia Ponte San Giovanni train station and the main train station (Stazione di Perugia) in the city centre. The bus can also do hotel drop-offs so ask your driver. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Again, the journey is only 30 minutes to the centre and you <b>must</b> book your ticket beforehand.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></li>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the cutest and most amazing mode of transport ever. They are very small single-carriage "metros" and they are above ground. They go between Perugia's train station and Pincetto (just off Piazza Matteotti) approx. every minute. The ticket costs €1.50 and you can also use that ticket for the bus.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Car</span></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I went by car to Perugia and from experience you cannot drive in the city centre so you'll have to find a place to park your car before heading to the centre. Perugia has many car parks (€0.80 to €1.60 per hour). Piazza Partigiani and the Mercato Coperto are the most central and convenient. There's also a free car park at Piazzale della Cupa. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You have to climb 1.5km to the city centre, so I would highly recommend taking the bus for anyone with luggage. The bus takes you to Piazza Italia. Again, tickets cost €1.50 from the train-station kiosk or €2 on board. <b><u>Make sure</u></b> to validate your ticket on board to avoid a fine.

They are available from 6am to 2am and 24 hours from July to September. Here is <a href="https://www.perugiataxi.it/">Perugia Taxi</a> if you need </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">to arrange a pick-up.

<br />
Perugia has installed probably the best thing to come to a city (for lazy people like me I mean), moving escalators for that 1.5km climb up to the city centre I spoke about earlier. They definitely saved my life when I was there.<br />

We stayed in <a href="https://www.domusvolumnia.it/">Domus Volumnia</a> just outside Perugia and it was the most gorgeous location I've ever stayed in. I always use <a href="http://www.booking.com/">booking.com</a> when I book hotels as I find them to be very good. As well as that, the more you use it the more of a discount you get on hotels! Whereas if I were looking for an apartment I like to check out <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/">AirBnb </a>too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This stay was something special as we went just after New Years so we spent a little more than the average price of <span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">€50 per night. For two nights we spent </span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">€170.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">This doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money to come here, Perugia has many <a href="http://www.hostelworld.com/">hostels</a> with an average price of </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">€17/18 per night. So if you're travelling on a budget, Perugia is totally possible.</span></div>

<a href="https://www.domusvolumnia.it/">Domus Volumnia</a> was the perfect place for a two night trip to Perugia. The staff were incredibly helpful with everything, the rooms were spotless, there was literally no noise from the road outside. It was extremely peaceful. I would love to return in the summer months to avail of that gorgeous swimming pool!</div>

Get lost!</h3>
<div>
Every-time I visit a new city, I love to explore and literally get lost! I know that sounds mad but believe me, you'll find the smallest and quirkiest streets. I found such gems this time round and it was even accompanied with a typical Italian Fiat 500, how perfect was it for my photo hahaha! Wander everywhere because you could come across the most beautiful places.</div>

Wine Tasting</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We found a last minute wine tasting on <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.ie/Attraction_Review-g187905-d2338334-Reviews-Tili_Vini_Societa_Agricola-Assisi_Province_of_Perugia_Umbria.html">TripAdvisor</a> just outside Perugia, quite close to Assisi. The name of the winery is <a href="https://www.tilivini.com/en/">Tili Vini.</a> We chose this winery as it is completely biological and they don't put any chemicals in their wines in order to speed up and make the process from grape to wine cheaper. We were delighted to have found such an ethical business as they really care about what it really means to make wine. As well as this, biological wines will always taste better due to the absence of chemicals (which most wines have nowadays). As well as this, it's better for your health and the environment, so it's genuinely a win-win situation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As we started the tour of their <a href="https://www.tilivini.com/en/">winery</a>, they showed us their vineyards and then their cellar where they make and store their wine. It really is so impressive seeing it all. After, Maria Palma (who by the way was the best tour guide) brought us inside to the dining area. She brought out 5 wines for us to taste along with specific foods (bruschetta, salumi and chocolate) to accompany the wines. We started with a white wine, followed by rose, then two red wines and finished with a sweet red wine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ended up buying three bottles from them as we loved them so much. We bought two bottles of "Il Rosso" and one bottle of "Rosso", creative names I know ahah but I genuinely couldn't fault the experience. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There was also a spit bucket to spit out the wine but of course neither of us used it! Maria Palma said we were so dead right to drink it all ahaha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In total we paid <span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">€18 each for the wine tasting (am, bargain!!) and for three bottles of wine we paid </span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">€27 (</span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">€9 each, which is extremely cheap for a biological wine).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll only recommend the places we enjoyed on the trip as we had one place we didn't like as the service wasn't good and another evening we skipped dinner as I came down with a bad migraine (note to self: don't take a nap after wine tasting!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a day of sightseeing we wandered upon a restaurant called Tozza, we were so lucky with this find as we just chanced our arm and it was fabulous. We got fried meatballs for a starter and they were the nicest things ever. We've even tried recreating them at home but they weren't the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For our mains we got a pumpkin and sausage pasta (this wasn't on the menu as it was one of the specials that day) and pasta with truffles (tartufo).</div>

If you're fortunate enough to be travelling by car to Perugia I have a great restaurant for you! As we had the car, we could travel around a bit in the search of restaurants so we travelled to Montefalco for dinner which was about 30 minutes from where we were staying. We were actually lucky to get a place here as we should have booked. Luckily we got a place to sit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ordered a meat and cheese board which filled us right up. Then we moved onto our mains. We got ravioli stuffed with mozzarella in a tomato sauce as well as strangozzi al culo mosso (pasta with pachino tomatoes, pancetta, rocket and parmigiano). For dessert I had to order some lovely mascarpone. I would definitely come back here.</div>

Hello 2020!It's hard to believe it's 2020, I remember exactly 20 years ago being home watching my father and brother go out to ring in the new millennium and I had to stay home, obviously green with envy, I mean why couldn't 5 year old me go out and have fun? 20 years later I am in Bologna and had the best New Year's Eve ever. Something completely different to what I've ever done. We went to <a href="https://www.villaggiodellasalutepiu.it/">Villaggio della Salute </a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.villaggiodellasalutepiu.it/">Pi<span style="background-color: white;">ù</span></a> </span>just outside Bologna, I can't wait to go back in the summer! Definitely something to check out if you want something fun to do here.<br />
<br />
Here's some photos of the evening:<br />

<a name='more'></a>I'm a huge believer in trying to set goals and try to better yourself for the year ahead. We all need a bit of fine tuning right? You can never stop improving and learning. This past year for me was probably the biggest rollercoaster of my life. So many ups and downs but looking back on it all I am so happy and blessed that it all unfolded the way it did. I mean the happiness I feel now wouldn't have happened if I never went through the darkness.<br />
<br />
This year taught me to accept and be grateful for any mishaps that may happen in your life. It's all happening because something better is about to come. At the beginning of last year it felt like the ground was pulled from underneath me, but as it all happened I knew being calm and accepting it all would be beneficial because I knew something good was coming for me. And you know what? That something good did happen for me!<br />

I'm currently sitting in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rodolfoabologna">Rodolfo café</a> in Bologna on my lunch break from work. It's one of my favourite eco-friendly <span style="font-family: inherit;">cafés</span> here, they use plastic alternatives and biodegradable "plastic" cups for their free water, which is what we all want, right? And they also do brunch so it's a win win situation.<br />
<br />
I'm teaching in Bologna now. Remember the first Italian city I ever lived in? Yup, I'm right back here again feeling like I'm where I'm supposed to be surrounded by the most beautiful souls. I'm working a lot but I feel blessed.<br />
<br />
This year I have a few tasks I want to set for myself and I will write them below so I can obviously hold myself accountable if my lazy ass doesn't get around to it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
So here they are:</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Get out of the city once a month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Read more! I want to create a section on the blog to review some books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Be more present.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Revamp the blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Organise a big trip for the summer months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Spend more time with the people I love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Reach 10k on Instagram (the year for believing in myself!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Practise the act gratitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. Get back into health and fitness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Save money for my adulting life, just thinking of being an old age pensioner avoiding nursing homes lol.</div>
<br />

According to the crazy weather I can officially say that our little Irish summer is over. But this means we can finally transition into Autumn.<br />
<a name='more'></a>I feel we are at that awkward stage where it's too cold to wear our summer dresses but too warm to break out the woolies yet. So I feel we are at that transitioning stage where we just mix the two.<br />
Today I'm going to show you three outfits PrettyLittleThing sent out to me for their Autumn campaign.<br />
<br />
Just because it's practically Autumn, doesn't stop me from buying cute dresses and skirts so you'll see some of these in this post. I've paired these pieces with some warmer options I already had in my wardrobe (which are necessary if you're to experience an Irish Autumn). Scroll to see how I styled all three outfits.<br />

<br />
A perfect evening surrounded by good food and good company. I was kindly invited into Gourmet Food Parlour in Salthill to try out their dinner menu.<br />
I'm a sucker for restaurants with gorgeous interiors so when I walked in I knew I was in heaven, but I still had to taste the food. At first look at the menu I was pleased to see that there were options for vegans, coeliacs and vegetarians, I like a restaurant that can cater to all needs and diets.<br />

Cocktails</h3>
Of course we were going to go for their cocktail special when we were told what it was,<i> 'Strawberry & Passionfruit with Prosecco cocktail'. </i>If this is on the menu when you go I would grab it while you can. It was so good and a bit too easy to drink so I tried to savour it as much as I could. I could have had many more but we all know how that would have ended up.<br />
(Note: notice the paper straws-bonus points for no plastic!)<br />

<h3>
Starter</h3>
<div>
I'm not the biggest meat eater, I'll have fish (because it's just too good to give up) but I try to avoid meat when I can. We both went for the <i>'Salt & Pepper Calamari'</i> and I have to say that we devoured it. If I ever see calamari on a menu I'll always get it so I could call myself a calamari snob. I wished the portion was slightly larger, but that's because I loved it so much that I could have only eaten that for the rest of the meal. So huge thumbs up for this starter.</div>

<h3>
Main</h3>
<div>
For our main course we chose different options, the <i>'Irish Hereford Beef Burger'</i> and the <i>'Scampi & Chips'. </i>Can you see my love for fish yet? The portion sizes are very generous as we struggled to finish our mains. I was very impressed with my dish. Usually I never eat the side salad with a meal but this one was really curated, topped with pomegranate, orange and a lot more, so for the first time I actually ate a lot of it- yes it is rare to see me eat a salad! The little touches like that really impress me. We couldn't fault our mains at all so I would definitely order this again. However, you can also get the <i>'Salt and Pepper Calamari'</i> as a main so I feel I would go for that! </div>

<h3>
Dessert</h3>
<div>
By this stage of the meal I think we were ready to burst, but as they say, you have another stomach for dessert. That's what I like to tell myself anyways. My plus one went for the <i>'Chocolate Brownie'</i> accompanied with fruit, ice-cream and bits of meringue. I (of course) went for the <i>'Caramel Donoughts' </i>which came with a side of chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, fruit, ice-cream and bits of meringue. Again, we were surprised with the big portion sizes (surprised in a, "oh my God I'm so happy", kind of way).</div>

Overall, I can't fault our experience in Gourmet Food Parlour in Salthill, Galway. The food was delicious that I cannot wait to return. Their presentation, service, staff, food everything was just top notch. Again I would like to thank Gourmet Food Parlour for inviting me in. You get a huge thumbs up from me and my plus one.<br />
<br />
I also saw that they do brunch. We know I am the queen of brunch so I'll definitely be trying that out some weekend soon.<br />

I believe once you see New York, your life will change forever. It is such a special city full of diversity and beauty. I was lucky enough to spend four days there at the end of January. I have put together a list of the best places to see while you're there!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1. TIMES SQUARE<br />
<br />
You either love or hate Times Square; my experience there was quite a dramatic one. We got to New York during, I kid you not, -27℃. We got there, covered from head to toe in the warmest layers we had, showing only our eyes. The Square was almost empty, not many people there at all! So at least we knew nobody would be able to pickpocket us haha! It was definitely beautiful but we had to leave within 5 minutes as we felt the water in our eyes began freezing! I would love to head back during normal weather to see the chaos that is Times Sq.<br />

2. CENTRAL PARK<br />
<br />
Central Park stole my heart. Even in winter time it was stunning, everything was frozen. There are so many spots in the park to see. My favourites would be the ice skating (during winter months), a massive rocky area close by where you get a stunning view of all the skyscrapers in the distance, Bow Bridge, and Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, famously known as *GG SPOILER ALERT* where Chuck and Blair got married! I know in warmer months it's possible to go rowing on the water in Central Park.<br />

3. THE MET<br />
<br />
Maybe you have guessed that i am a fan of Gossip Girl, but all girls must have the chance to sit on the Met steps. Inside is definitely even more fab. If you don't know, this is where the Met Gala is hosted every year. If you're just an art lover the Metropolitan Museum of Art is also known for being the largest art museum in the USA holding some of the worlds most famous and beautiful works of art.<br />

3. TOP OF THE ROCK<br />
<br />
This was definitely one of my absolute favourite things to do during my trip to NYC. Going to the top of the Rockefeller Centre has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. You get the most stunning view of NYC as well as the majestic Empire State Building. I would highly recommend going one hour before sunset, so you can experience the sky changing colours before you. You can book tickets online or when you get there. There wasn't a queue when we went, however I went during off peak season.<br />

4. FLAT IRON BUILDING<br />
<br />
You probably see this building plastered all over Instagram. It is literally shaped like an Iron. I found it to be absolutely beautiful and definitely a must see. Eataly (mentioned in my NYC Eats post) is right next to it so why not treat yourself with a plate of pasta while you're at it!<br />

5. GROUND ZERO<br />
<br />
When coming to New York, I knew I had to go pay my respects to all those who lost their lives in 9/11, and it is definitely worth a visit when you are there. It really makes you think about life and how fragile it really is.<br />

6. ONE WORLD TRADE CENTRE<br />
<br />
This is something we didn't do, buT was recommended to us, to go to the observatory and see all of NYC, having already done Top of the Rock we felt we would pass on this one this time, however it's still on our bucket list. The skyscraper in itself is jawdroppingly beautiful and is worth a visit.<br />

7. DUMBO<br />
<br />
Dumbo was definitely up there with the best things I've seen in NYC. It's an area in Brooklyn by the water where you get a fantastic view of both Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge, as well as all of Manhattan. Go to the corner of Washington and Water Streets where you get the most picturesque view!<br />

8. BROOKLYN BRIDGE<br />
<br />
You absolutely HAVE to walk the Brooklyn bridge, my tip is to get an Uber over to Dumbo and chill out there, then walk back to Manhattan over Brooklyn Bridge, it's probably my most memorable memory from the trip, the scenes are out of this world. I also thought it would take ages, but time taken (including stopping to take photos every two seconds) was only 40 minutes!<br />

I'm back from busy NYC, with some vital information for you all. Where can you get a cup of coffee? Where can you get some decent food? Well I am here to help you out. Here are all the places we went to over our 4 days in the Big Apple.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1. RALPH'S<br />
<br />
Address: 711 5th Avenue inside the Ralph Lauren Store.<br />
Let's begin with the interiors, am AMAZING!? I was blown away with how fabulous it was in there. To be honest before I went in I thought coffee would cost an arm and a leg but I was pleasantly surprised when they charged me around $15 for a coffee, a hot chocolate and a cookie. My mom who is literally a coffee connoisseur really loved her coffee. My hot chocolate (pictured) was quite rich but great for a cold day. The cookie was actually massive, me and mom had to share it, but we loved it.<br />

<br />
2. CACIO E PEPE<br />
<br />
Address:182 2nd Avenue.<br />
We ate here on our first night and I genuinely believe we died and went to the food god heaven. Cacio e Pepe is a typical Italian dish, so that was their speciality (which is what I got of course). They prepared it in the most amazing way -the traditional way. I have a clip of them preparing it in an upcoming YouTube video on my channel. The prices were on average $19-23, definitely way more than what you would pay in Italy, however the food is top class and I would pay that again. This is far from a touristic Italian restaurant, the chefs and waiters are 90% Italian. 100% recommend.<br />

3. MAISON KAYSER<br />
<br />
Address: 1800 broadway (near south west entrance to Central Park/ Columbus Circle).<br />
We were recommended to come here for their coffee - I don't drink coffee but mom (as i said) knows her coffee. We found it to be a bit pricey for the portion sizes but we loved the food. I believe its more expensive to sit in and eat but there is a bakery at the front of the cafe if you prefer to get a take away and eat it in central park!<br />

<br />
4. CACIO E VINO<br />
<br />
Address: 80 2nd Avenue.<br />
Deja vu? No, this is actually the sister restaurant to Cacio e Pepe! This restaurant focuses more on Sicilian cuisine. Pictured is the gorgeous Pasta alla Norma which is from Catania (I lived in Catania for a year) a dish very special to me. It was beautiful. I made mom taste one of my favourite wines - red of course - Nero d'Avola, a beautiful Sicilian wine. If you are into your wines I would highly recommend getting that one.<br />

5. LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN<br />
<br />
Address: 1271 Avenue of the Americas (there are many all over NYC)<br />
We only stumbled upon this place one morning when we were on the hunt for breakfast. We both got the mini pancakes, they were so good I had them gone in two minutes. The pricing was very reasonable too so I would have gone back here had we more time.<br />

6. PRET A MANGER<br />
<br />
Address: 179 Broadway<br />
This was another stumble upon. We were wrecked having walked our legs off that we went into the nearest cafe we could find. The pricing was quite good, $9 for a coffee, tea and two croissants. There were plugs everywhere too incase you needed to charge. It was just great to come here and recharge our own batteries too!<br />

7. JOHNNY ROCKETS.<br />
<br />
Address: Jersey Gardens Mall, New Jersey.<br />
One of our days in NYC was forecast to pour from the heavens all day so we went out to a mall in NJ. We ate at a fast food diner and I finally got some famous tater tots. This wouldn't be something I would normally go for but when you need something quick and easy that will fill you for the day this was pretty cool to go to and the pricing wasn't that bad!<br />

8. EATALY<br />
<br />
Address: 200 5th Avenue beside Flat Iron<br />
On our last night we went to Eataly beside Flat Iron, we didn't realise that there were different areas to Eataly so go to the pizza and pasta section (carbs carbs carbssss). I'm a huge lover of Eataly, there are so many all over the world. I was first introduced to it in Bologna, Italy, when I lived there. You can eat there and buy Italian produce imported from Italy. Even if you don't eat here I would definitely recommend coming here buying good quality pasta, or my favourite, Italian biscuits!<br />

<br />
I definitely found it very difficult to find good restaurants/breakfast places in NYC. There were many touristic or over-priced places. The ones that knocked it out of the park for me? Cacio e Pepe and Cacio e Vino.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Looking back on my other goal lists I can see I have achieved more than one thing and it's a great feeling to cross it off the list! This year I'll split up my goals into various categories like I did for my 2017 goals.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Travel:</u></span><br />
As you all know I'm a sucker for travel I aim to visit a few more cities this year, the list is shorter this year rather than others but I am really going to try see these places!<br />
<br />
- Boston, MA.<br />
- NYC.<br />
- Paris.<br />
- Edinburgh<br />
- Rome<br />
- Move abroad again - Location to be decided.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Personal Life:</u></span><br />
Being so connected to the online world, I have definitely neglected myself a lot, in terms of me time. This upcoming year I want to focus on my mental and physical well being more as well as personal accomplishments.<br />
<br />
- Finish driving lessons (I'm half way done).<br />
- Book driving test.<br />
- PASS driving test.<br />
- Save money.<br />
- Read more.<br />
- Go outdoors more.<br />
- Take better care of my hair (yes, I know, but I want to use more expensive/better products to keep it healthy).<br />
- Reduce my plastic usage<br />
- Introduce more vegan options into my diet (anything I can do for the planet I'll do- note: I'm not a vegan but I believe making changes can really help our environment).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Career:</u></span><br />
If you are a new reader, you won't know that the academic year of 2017/2018, I was an English teacher in a secondary school in Sicily and that year made me realise that I want to pursue teaching English as a foreign language.<br />
<br />
-Complete CELTA course (I already have TEFL but I want to have more credentials).<br />
-Apply for more teaching jobs (country to be decided).<br />
-Get a great teaching job (country to be decided).<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Blog/ YouTube:</u></span><br />
My dream is to do blogging full time. I know in my previous heading I said teaching English as a foreign language is what I want to do, but realistically I would choose blogging any day as I love it so much and I've put so much into it over the past few years. However as it's so new, nobody knows where it could go so I always believe in having a backup career option - teaching.<br />
<br />
-Invest in a new laptop<br />
-Invest in a new camera<br />
-Create more video content -yes I have a YT, it's just dormant, have a look at the videos I do have <a href="http://www.youtube.com/ciaraswalsh">here</a>!<br />
-Reach 6k on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ciaraswalsh">Instagram</a> (yes it's small in the grand scheme of things but to me it's big, every little helps)<br />
-Get more sponsored content to help invest in CiaraSwalsh.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you made a list of what you want to accomplish in 2019? Even if it's just one thing, you can work on it to help you become a better version of yourself. Here's to a blissful and successful 2019!<br />
<br />

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:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7KTFr9KZbRUiBZALzQf5rB9sQFROHMpm59jmKr86vMluRVeRtZrR67kDJj9vVPogOAfu0lr4nypJKwS1wSTfVgfsMOUnx1vMJ5en8YY3NC5LjJ4JvI5T_rmbd3sij3H8cEVOzmRG8dDI/s1600/NZUU2739.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7KTFr9KZbRUiBZALzQf5rB9sQFROHMpm59jmKr86vMluRVeRtZrR67kDJj9vVPogOAfu0lr4nypJKwS1wSTfVgfsMOUnx1vMJ5en8YY3NC5LjJ4JvI5T_rmbd3sij3H8cEVOzmRG8dDI/s1600/NZUU2739.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Independence</span><br />
Moving to a new country can be extremely daunting especially if you're going alone. It's extra daunting if they speak a completely different language to yours. It's hard setting yourself up in a new city, there's nobody there to rely on to help you find the supermarket, or to find an apartment, nothing. You must do everything yourself. But when you get your feet you will forget all about the struggles you had in the first few weeks and you'll be amazed at how far you came all by yourself. The independence you gain while living abroad will serve you in more ways than one. Don't think that you couldn't do it as you're a "home bird", it's possible and you'll never regret having an experience like moving country.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Cultural Awareness</span><br />
Opening your mind to other cultures, is a gift nobody can give to you. You have to experience to learn. Many people don't understand the depth of other cultures and just how different they are to your own. Just because you have one set of values and beliefs doesn't mean other people with a different culture will. Don't assume your culture is the bees knees, delve into their culture, understand it. There's one thing, learning a language but learning their culture too will make you more fluent in any way. Once you begin to realise and understand the country's culture you will begin to see the world differently. You will be so interested in other cultures and question them accordingly. I for one always ask people about their culture because I want to understand that person. Don't immediately assume just because someone can speak English that they also understand what it means to have your nationality. Cultural awareness will change your perception of the world.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">3. Appreciation</span><br />
When you move abroad, you begin to appreciate your own country and the opportunities you've had. I think I have been more nationalistic abroad then I've ever been at home haha. The love you have for your own country is amazing making you appreciate it so much. I spoke about Ireland and especially, Galway when I lived in Italy (both years). The Italians I met loved hearing about my stories from Ireland and they admired how much I loved it. There's no place like home at the end of the day. As well as this, when you're abroad you begin to realise how lucky you are having the opportunity to even be there. When you tell a local why you have come to live in their city they will be amazed, you'll begin to realise how much of a big deal it is to move abroad. The experience you'll get from the year, two years etc, will also look amazing on any CV.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Personal Growth</span><br />
You will face very difficult experiences whilst abroad but you'll always come out the other side and it'll help you grow in ways you never knew existed. Moving to another country is not in anyway a holiday like most people believe. Yes I lived in Italy for two years, however it was not plain sailing all the time. You may run into bad experiences or have to go through difficult bureaucracy crap, the list is endless, what happened to me may not happen to someone else and what might happen to someone else may not have happened to me. It's just life, anything could happen, however this time you're abroad alone without your family to help you. Facing these bad experiences will really help shape you and make you see just how strong you are. It's not easy but once you get through one bad experience you'll see how well you'll be able to handle problems in the future. You basically need to go through the bad in order to come out the other side. You'll see how much you've grown by the end of the year.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Friendship</span><br />
The friends you make when you live abroad will be your family. You will have this amazing network of people who will be there for you no matter what. You meet people who are also travelling as well as the locals. I for one met people from all over the world who to this day consider them amazing friends. The type of friendship you make is different than any friendship you'll make at home in your own country. As I said, you'll meet people from all over the world, which means having a huge mix of different cultures who are going through the same thing as you living abroad. I would also recommend making friends with the locals as they can teach you so much about your new city. They can also help with the language. You'll also notice yourself saying yes to more opportunities which generally makes you form very close bonds with your family away from home.<br />

<br />
I would greatly advise living abroad at least once. It has changed my life forever and for the better. I still plan on moving again as the experience is just incredible. The world has so many places to be explored. One of my favourite quotes about travel was said by Gustav Flaubert, he said "Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world."<br />

<h4>

<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
2. What cute pieces of clothes are ya gonna buy/bring to Paris?</h4>

</h4>
<h4>
3. Who was your best friend in Sicily?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
My fru fru, otherwise known as Georgia.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
4. If we lived in a time where blogs can only be written on paper, which of the 4 colours of the Bic pen would you use?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Blue hands down</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
5. Where do you work?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
I won't give exact details but I'm working to save money to complete a second (more expensive) English teaching course in order to pursue my passion in teaching English as a foreign language!</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
6. Favourite part about living back home in Ireland?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Not having to pay rent, bills or groceries, it's allowing me to save a lot of my money!</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
7. How do you deal with companies who treat you poorly when offering collaborations?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Usually I delete the emails but recently I've been getting more and more emails of terrible "collaboration/campaign proposals" which are really just emails trying to exploit you. I put in a lot of effort into the content I produce so getting something that isn't on par with the content I produce is just not on. It's fine if they aren't demanding anything off of me, but brands who want to dictate posting dates, content style etc. for a product is just not on.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
8. What would your ideal collaboration be?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Wow, that's such a tough question. There are so many brands out there that I admire so much. I guess I would love to create a clothing line with a huge brand. </div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
I would love to also create beautiful photo and video content for a big brand.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
9. What's your favourite part of the Christmas dinner?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
The Stuffing!! My mouth is watering hahaha.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
10. Are you missing Italy?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
So much my heart breaks every moment I'm not there </3</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
11. Have you trips planned this year?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Yessss! Two definite trips and another trip I still have to plan better and book! So exciting!</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
12. Are you excited for Xmas and the New Year?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Yes 100%, Christmas is amazing especially being around the whole family and just chilling. For New Years I'll be in Romaaa!</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
13. What's your most pleasant sounding accent?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
I've never really thought about it, for English speakers, I would say the Donegal accent and for non English speakers I would say any Italian accent.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
14. Where in the world do you wanna live next? </h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Italy or the US, I would love to travel everywhere else!</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
15. How did you manage pain after your scoliosis surgery?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Immediately after my operation I was on a tonne of pain medication, I won't mention them as I'm not a doctor and feel like I can't give a proper answer for fear someone would take it without checking with your doctor. But a lot of pain meds. I also used heat cushions on the sore parts they helped a lot. Small movements ease out the muscles which were just after being stretched during the operation. Time really helped, the first while was sore but with the medication, gentle exercises and the heat cushions I began to feel less pain.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
16. How long did you live in Italy and why? :)</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
I lived in Italy 3 years ago for one year during my Erasmus year. I lived in the northern city of Bologna and I loved every second of it! Last year I moved beck to Italy, but to Sicily. I moved after I finished college to teach English as a foreign language in a secondary school! I can't wait to move back to Italy sometime in the future.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
17. I thought you lived in Rome but saw in your article that you lived in Sicily, why were you always in Rome?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
I don't blame you for thinking that as I've visited Rome tonnes of times within the last 4 years. Just because I love the city</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
18. What is Scoliosis?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine measured in degrees, if untreated can cause severe effects and pain to the human body,</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<h4>
19. How old are you?</h4>
<h4>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
I'm 24 years young x</div>

1. Galway Christmas Market</div>
</h3>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cannot wait for the Christmas market to come to Galway. It's honestly the highlight of my year in my home town. The whole city lit up in twinkling Christmas lights, the smell of mulled wine and sound of fun and laughter. It really gives the city a sense of warmth and a sense of Christmas. I sometimes wish I was a tourist visiting Galway for the first time seeing the magic of the market. It would be beautiful to get an outsider opinion. I could walk around the market all day if I could, going to different stalls, eating and drinking my way through it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Winter Evenings Snuggled Up By The Fire</h3>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I lived home in Final Year of Uni, I just loved coming home from a long day in college to a massive fire on. I would sit next to it relaxing all evening in my dressing gown and cosies. Now that I've moved back home for the year after living in Sicily, I honestly cannot wait to get home after work to the cosiness with a big cup of hot chocolate or tea. There's something so comforting about it for me. </div>

3. Wrapping Up In Winter Coats and Scarves</h3>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being wrapped up inside is something I love, but I absolutely love layering myself up and throwing on a massive winter coat, scarf wrapped around half my face and a cute wool hat; and if it's just that cold, gloves too. There't nothing more cosy for me than being wrapped up in the cold. Breathing in the crisp Irish air, walking through the streets with a cup of tea in your hands getting that extra warmth. It didn't get as cold as it does here in Ireland in Catania last year so I missed it so much. I definitely didn't get the Christmassy feeling last year because Sicily is just a warm place to be in.<br />

4. Trip to America</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yup, yup, yup! I'm going to NYC and Boston! I'm going for two weeks in January, so expect soooo many posts and Instagrams! The spamming will be real and I won't even feel sorry. I've never been to the States so you can imagine just how excited I am. It'll be baltic at that time so time to buy snow boots I guess.<br />

<span lang="IT" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ciao a tutti
ragazzi, sto scrivendo questo blog post perché ci sono tantissime cose che non
vedo l’ora di fare, fra cui due viaggi che ho già pianificato, e sento il
bisogno di condividerle con voi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="IT" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Non vedo l’ora
che venga allestito, come ogni anno, il mercato di Natale a Galway. Per me è
uno dei momenti più belli da vivere nella mia città. Essa si riempie di
scintillanti luci natalizie, per le strade si sparge l’odore tipico di vin
brulé e nell’aria riecheggiano le risate delle persone. Tutto questo rende
l’atmosfera veramente natalizia e mi trasmette un senso di calore
indescrivibile. Qualche volta vorrei tanto essere una turista per poter captare
quelle sensazioni magiche che vive ogni persona che visita il mercato di Galway
per la prima volta. Mi piacerebbe tanto sentire anche le loro opinioni per
capire meglio le loro sensazioni. Oh ragazzi, potrei veramente camminare tutto
il giorno per il mercato. Adoro veramente saltare di bancarella in bancarella e
assaggiare qualsiasi tipo di cibo e bevanda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

d’inverno rannicchiata accanto al camino</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="IT" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Quando vivevo a
casa durante l’ultimo anno di università, amavo tornare a casa dopo una lunga
giornata passata tra i libri e trovare il camino acceso. Mi ci sedevo ogni sera
accanto indossando il mio pigiama e la mia vestaglia e ciò mi rilassava
tantissimo. Ora che sono tornata a vivere a casa dopo l’ultimo anno in cui ho
vissuto in Sicilia, ogni giorno non vedo l’ora di tornare a casa dopo il lavoro
per rannicchiarmi accanto al camino con una bella tazza di tè o di cioccolato
caldo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="IT" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. Indossare
cappotti e sciarpe invernali</span></span></h3>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="IT">Coprirmi a casa è qualcosa che mi piace tanto, però, ad
essere sincera, amo ancor di più la sensazione di riempirmi di vestiti come ad
esempio un cappotto, una sciarpa per coprirmi fino al viso o un cappello di
lana. E perché no, un bel paio di guanti se fa ancor più freddo! Non esiste
nulla di più bello per me che indossare tanti vestiti quando fa freddo. Respirare
l'aria fresca irlandese, camminare tra le strade con una tazza di tè caldo in
mano per riscaldare le mani infreddolite. A Catania, non fa freddo come qui in Irlanda
perché la Sicilia è un posto caldo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="IT">Ok, questo è
ufficiale. Andrò per due settimane a Boston e a NYC a Gennaio! State tranquilli perché
posterò tutto su Instagram. Posterò ogni tipo di foto o video che farò, ai
limiti dello spam, quindi tenetevi forte. Non sono mai stata negli Stati Uniti,
quindi potete immaginare quanto sia felice di andare. Quando andrò ci saranno
temperature polari quindi è meglio che inizi la mia ricerca per un paio di
stivali invernali. E voi siete mai stati a Boston? Sarei lieta di sentire
qualsiasi consiglio abbiate per me!</span></div>

<br />
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.<br />
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!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If you haven't read my last post you won't know that I am actually in Ireland this year and not living la dolce vita in Italia. Click <a href="http://www.ciaraswalsh.com/2018/09/whats-really-been-going-on.html">here </a>if you want the tea on my current life.<br />
<br />
So since coming back to Ireland, I found myself being very negative and even though I got a job very easily, I found a lot of things just weren't going my way. Then when D moved to the States, I felt like everything fell down on me like a tonne of bricks. So for some reason I said I would read the Secret again. I had already known about the workings of The Secret, however I wasn't using it in everyday life. The first two weeks with D gone I was very down in the dumps and in such a negative head space. I guess the time difference got to me, when he wakes up I'm done half my day so it's weird not being able to talk to someone when you want. So I began to read.<br />

The Secret taught me that I could have anything imaginable if I changed my way of thinking. Turn negative to positive. That I must feel positive and when wanting something I bust believe I already have it and to feel what I would feel if I already had what I wanted. I realised that by me thinking and feeling negative about certain aspects I was in fact drawing more negativity towards myself. You get what you give. Once I began using The Secret I actually began to see great things happening. It also got me out of a bad head space which I'm so grateful for because having negative thoughts is just awful. After reading just one page of The Secret my mood changes, I become motivated and I genuinely feel happy.<br />

Some people mightn't believe in the power of the secret but you can't deny that by thinking positively you bring more positivity into your life. Thinking negatively about everything will lead you down a downwards spiral into dark thoughts and feelings.<br />
<br />
It has honestly helped me in more ways than one. I would honestly suggest you read it. Here's some of my favourite quotes from it:<br />
<br />
"The predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like attracts like, consequently, the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as correspond to its nature".Charles Haanel.<br />
<br />
"Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, they're in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts." - Michael Bernard Beckwith<br />

Here's one to really think about:<br />
"Everything that surrounds you right now in your life, including the things you're complaining about, you've attracted. Now I know at first blush that's going to be something that you hate to hear. You're going to immediately say, 'I didn't attract the car accident. I didn't attract this particular client who gives me a hard time. I didn't particularly attract the debt'. And I'm here to be a little bit in your face and to say, yes you did attract it. This is one of the hardest concepts to get, but once you've accepted it, it's life transforming". -Dr. Joe Vitale.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can look at it in two ways, negative - that the law of attraction is out to get you and all your negative thinking, or positively - the law of attraction can give you the most amazing life, fortune, love, anything to your hearts content. If you don't believe me, go out and get the book, ask friends or family if they have it. There's also a docu-movie on it too!<br />

Let me know if you have heard of The Secret and what you think of it. It would be so interesting to see if you also practice Law of Attraction!<br />

I've been keeping a lot of you in the dark with regards why I'm back in Ireland. I'm home now over two months, can you believe that? A few months ago I had plans on moving to a town on the Amalfi Coast. So today I'm writing this post to explain to you why I gave up living in one of the most beautiful places in the world.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Flashback to last May, I was finishing up teaching in Catania (my favourite job to date) and I was on the hunt for my next teaching job -in Italy of course. I went to visit my friend who lived in Salerno for the year, also teaching English. I fell in love with the place, especially because of the fact that it was less than two hours from Rome on the train and it was on the beautiful Amalfi Coast. For the weekend I was there I explored a lot of the area, I went to Positano, Amalfi, Vietri Sul Mare, Furore and of course Salerno. I had already been in Sorrento and the Island of Capri two years previous so I just knew this area was breathtaking.<br />
<br />
At this stage I was still waiting to hear back from the English Language Assistant Scheme about a job offer in another part of Italy -side note I went through the ELA scheme to get my job in Sicily, watch my video all about it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah2t8WHL0N4&t=654s">here</a>. Soon after I got a job offer in a city I wont mention, it was in the south and I just knew I wouldn't want to go there. I had a gut feeling about this. As well as this the transportation links from this place to the rest of Italy were very scarce which also worried me. Don't get me wrong, the region it was in was stunning however I knew I just couldn't go.<br />

<br />
My friend got offered a job too in another part of Italy which meant she had to leave a private school she was also teaching in. Which meant there was a job opening and low and behold I got a job there. So for about two months I had planned to go and move to Salerno and work in a private school teaching English. I was delighted - at the time.<br />
<br />
I even posted on twitter saying Italy would have me for another year. So time passed and the summer plans I had for a holiday with D went south and I ended up having to come home a month early. D had been rushing to try and finish his exams so he could move to America to start a Masters over there. We didn't know for sure whether it was going to happen or not but he did it and managed to get all his exams done!<br />

<br />
So I came home in the beginning of July and started working to earn money, I knew I needed a lot of money if I had to start a life for myself all over again in another city. Then it started, I began to get this feeling in my stomach, a feeling that was telling me that it wasn't my time to go back to Italy. That I was making the wrong decision. I ignored it and told nobody I began to think that this new job on the beautiful Amalfi Coast came at the wrong time.<br />
<br />
I continued working, the feeling got stronger and stronger until one day I told my Mom. I said I feel like I shouldn't go, like it's a bad idea and I don't feel secure in making the decision at this moment in my life. So we decided that I would make a final decision in September - the month I would have to move. Next I told D, as usual he fully understood and supported me in whatever decision I would make, however even though I had a whole other month to make up my decision I knew it was already made. I was going to turn down a dream job based on an extremely bad gut instinct.<br />

D came to visit me at the end of August to say goodbye to me before his big move to the States. It was definitely a very emotional trip full of amazing memories. After he moved I didn't realise how hard it would be to adjust to the new time difference between us. I knew being with my family was a good choice to help me transition and get back on track to having a some-what normal Long Distance relationship. Support during difficult times is all anyone needs.<br />
<br />
Now, flash forward to now. Its the middle of September and I am in Ireland. I ended up turning down the job offer. But what am I doing now?<br />

I'm taking this year to focus on me and to accomplish things I didn't have the chance to do since I was in Italy for two of the last 3 years and also being in final year in college. My goals are: to finally get my license, to work my ass off to save as much money as I possibly can for my future as I know I will be moving somewhere again. I need to buy things I desperately need, like a new laptop- the one I'm using right now is about 8 years old-, invest more time and money in my blog, since coming home my content has had a new lease of life so I am definitely enjoying it a lot more. I also want to save for a trip to the States in order to see D, and of course a CELTA course. With that I will be considered to get a teaching job anywhere, even though I have the experience and a TEFL cert, I want to better myself and get another cert under my belt.<br />

I have a lot to focus on this year and I'm really looking forward to what I will do.<br />
I always believe in what's for you won't pass you, so maybe I'm supposed to stay in Ireland for the year and work on myself. Have any of you ever turned down something you knew would have been an amazing experience based on a hunch/feeling you had telling that it wasn't a good idea?<br />

Summer is coming to an end, however I'm holding onto every bit of warm weather I can get before it becomes cold and rainy here in Galway!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>In this post I've styled two outfits for Nasty Gal in a collaboration I'm doing with them! I'm honestly in love with these two pieces and I know you will be too. If you're just here for the outfits, scroll down to the bottom of this post!<br />
<br />
Recently I've been asked a lot about "oh whats the best thing you've been sent" and "aw you're so lucky you get free things". It sometimes annoys me when people say it to me as I wouldn't be getting anything sent to me if I hadn't worked for it. I didn't just set up a blog and Instagram and magically get "free stuff" (most of it isn't even really free either). Saying that, I don't get a lot of stuff sent to me. My blog is self funded and I have my own job to pay for everything for it. I produce my own content etc. The majority of the time (literally 99% of the time) if I get something sent to me, it's for a collaboration and I have to go and shoot the look and promote the product/piece. So I am using my time to promote content for a brand in return for the brands products.<br />
<br />
People tell me I should charge for collaborations considering I've being blogging for over three years, I know what I'm doing and I'm growing a steady readership. Honestly, for bloggers it's very difficult to get paid for creating content/promoting a brand. I sometimes find online that the "smaller" bloggers produce better content than the "bigger" ones, yet it's them who are being paid for the content they produce. I do believe "smaller" bloggers should be recognised more for their talents and creative skills and to be paid for it too. Blogging is something I love and I do hope to be paid for it in the future.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
In my opinion, bloggers who have come about in recent years are definitely more educated in what blogging really entails (i.e taxes, transparency with #sp #ad #collab #gift ect., contracts and knowing how to really produce good quality content etc.). There has been so much controversy over it all in the last year or two that it has helped "smaller" bloggers learn and avoid making any innocent mistakes -saying that honesty was always my policy from day one so I never had to "learn" that. However, I did learn about making sure you get contracts made up if you ever get a sponsored post (someone spon me so I can actually use my contract templates!) this helps you if the brand is late paying you and obviously more.<br />
<br />
Having spoken to some fellow bloggers we all agree that all the drama in the blogging industry has definitely tainted it so much and it's really not fair on people like us who only want to product good quality content. There are still so many bloggers out there who are really trying to give blogging a good name and I believe the next generation of bloggers will be better than ever before. If I ever got a sponsored post I would be jumping for joy letting you all know! So I just don't know why people want to hide it. Honesty really is the best policy and if you're getting paid for doing something you love, why not shot it from the rooftops? Why hide it? Why is it a secret?<br />
<br />
Overall, blogging I know is changing for the better, we are all more wise about what blogging really entails, it's not just "freebies". It's a lot of time, money some collabs and tonnes refusals. I get refused for collabs all the time and I also refuse a lot of paid collabs as they never ever suit my blogs aesthetic and I would never take a quick cash job as my followers lose faith in me, and I would go against everything I believe in. I know I've said it before, but to this day I've made €40 on this blog and I highly under priced it, I've been offered sooo many more paid jobs and I've refused them all as I just didn't like it. To have even gotten a collab with Nasty Gal today really made my day, it's not a paid collab but adding this to my portfolio of brands I've worked with is just something I'm so proud of.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong there are so many honest and real successful bloggers who get paid for what they do, they've thought me a lot and I'm so grateful for them. However, I know us smaller bloggers are on the rise and we are bringing the true art of blogging back. Thank you all for sticking with me for the last 3 years. Here's to the next 3!<br />

I'm so excited to bring you a lookbook (of photos) of various outfits I styled for <a href="https://www.prettylittlething.com/shop-by/holiday-shop.html" rel="nofollow">PrettyLittleThing</a>, this post is not sponsored, however I am collaborating with them to promote some gorgeous summer pieces I was able to choose from their <a href="https://www.prettylittlething.com/shop-by/holiday-shop.html" rel="nofollow">Holiday Shop</a>.<br />
<br />

Summer time is my favourite time of year. If I could live on a beach I would. Who else is dreaming of summer nights in exotic countries? There's no better feeling than not having to wear any cover-ups in case it gets a bit 'chilly' and being able to flaunt your cute summer clothes. If you want to skip to the holiday outfits I styled you can scroll down to see all 5! I loved shooting everything in different locations in Galway!<br />
<br />
I've travelled a bit this year, you all know I lived in Sicily for the year so travelling around that beautiful island in the heat was something special. Being a 25 minute flight from Malta was also a bonus so there was no doubt that we would jet off for a few days holiday in the Sun. Don't get me wrong I could travel every minute of every day whether it be summer or winter -remember when I walked on frozen rivers in Russia?<br />
<br />
This summer took a turn for me, I had planned a holiday abroad in a hot destination, however due to something that came up we couldn't go. So, this summer I am spending it home in Ireland. We have been quite lucky with the weather, it's reached 30 degrees here which is just ideal and definitely made my holiday blues a little less apparent. I mean I've sunbathed a few times since coming home! It also allowed me to wear summer clothes (something that is unheard of in Ireland).<br />
<br />
Even though I'm not travelling or going on holiday this summer like I had hoped to, I always believe in the "blessing in disguise" saying. I know my quick summer in Catania was cut short for a reason and I'm not going to question why anymore. I know I'll find out soon. I'm home almost a month now and it's been lovely. I forgot how nice it was to be looked after. Living alone means "adulting level 9000'' so although I'm working, I don't have to "adult" as much. I know I'll want my full independence back within a couple of weeks though.<br />
<br />
What do you think about travelling for the summer/ taking a small holiday, which do you prefer? Personally I prefer to travel for a long period of time. I've so many ideas I want to make happen for travels. I need time and money but I know I'm getting closer to one of my dream travel experiences. I've still to choose the month but either before Christmas 2018 or May/ June 2019, I will be jetting off somewhere for an amazing trip!<br />
<br />
I always bring gorge outfits with me when travelling, being a lover of fashion, and living a percent of my life online I always want to be presentable. Don't get me wrong I love wearing a pair of sweatpants and an oversized hoodie (aka me right now as I type). These outfits in today's post were chosen and styled by yours truly. Wearing each of these made me wish I was in an exotic country. But there's no better place than County Galway.

Malta has probably been one of the most beautiful places I've been to, with it's unique culture and peculiar familiarity, Malta exceeded my expectations.<br />

<h3>
<br />How To Get To The Centre From The Airport?</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were very lucky that the people over our accommodation gave us extremely detailed directions to our apartment in <b>Msida</b>. However saying that, it's pretty easy getting around in Malta as naturally everyone speaks English. As I said, we stayed in Msida, so we got <b>bus number X3</b> to our apartment. The airport bus costs €1.50 like every single bus in Malta and they last 90 minutes. So check with your accommodation as to which bus you need to get as you may be staying in Valletta, Sliema etc. The airport bus is right outside the airport and is very easy to spot. Top tip: Don't hop into a taxi they will rip you off!</div>
<br />
<h3>
Where We Stayed</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We stayed in a really nice apartment, allow me to say it was too spacious for us, and no I'm not complaining! There were four of us on the trip. There were three bedrooms, a en suite, a main bathroom, a kitchen and a living area. We also had two balcony's. We booked the apartment through <a href="https://www.booking.com/s/14_6/ciara226" rel="nofollow">booking.com</a>, the name of the apartment was <a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/mt/5-senses.html?aid=304142;label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNYBGhxiAEBmAExuAEGyAEM2AEB6AEB-AECkgIBeagCAw;sid=a6df47bc6880f05f2acd75ddd732a450">5-senses</a>. It was extremely cheap for it's position! They also gave us a free bottle of wine to kick start the weekend away! We stayed in Msida, which is well connected to areas like Sliema and Valletta. I would definitely recommend staying in this apartment, we were all wishing we could live there! </div>

Side note: If you go to my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ciaraswalsh">Instagram</a> you'll get a tour of the apartment in the highlights section labelled 'MALTA'.</div>

<h3>
First Day</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We heard before coming that there was a <b>Cinnabon </b>in Malta so we were on the hunt for one. We took the bus from <b>Msida </b>to <b>Sliema </b>(a 10 min drive) to get one and to check out the area as it looks stunning as there are boats everywhere and you get an amazing view of <b>Valletta </b>from Sliema. Valletta is the historical centre of Malta, otherwise known as the Capital. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We knew that on our second day there we would go to the <b>Blue Lagoon in Comino</b> so as we were going to Sliema we were going to book our boat to go there. Along the prom in Sliema there are tonnes of boat companies selling tours so we hunted for the best offer. More on that soon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After our fill of the best cinnamon buns ever we decided to go the scenic route to Valletta by getting the <b>ferry </b>across from Sliema. It's so cheap to get it, something less than €4 return. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We wanted a relaxing day for our first day considering we would be going on a boat tour the next day, so we wandered around the old capital, Valletta. The architecture of the houses is so particular. We also wandered into a stunning garden called the <b>Upper Barrakka Gardens</b>, the views from here were incredible and I don't think I've seen so many flowers in my life! So I suggest checking this place out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the rest of the day we just explored, ate and drank anything that would cool us down.<br />

<h3>
Second Day</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were up bright and early to catch the bus from <b>Msida </b>to <b>Sliema </b>where we were going out on our boat trip to the Blue Lagoon.<br />
We ended up getting a great deal from a lovely English guy who was working for one of the companies where we could get a speed boat to <b>Comino </b>(where the blue lagoon is). It ended up being €30 a head for the day so we were delighted! The trip to Comino took about 45 minutes so we had plenty of time speeding around in the sea. Before we arrived we could also check out the caves in the area, considering our boat was so small we could go directly into them. It was incredible. The water was so blue and crystal clear!<br />
<br />
After a while we finally made it to the Blue Lagoon, now let me tell you, when I saw all the photos of this place I thought that it couldn't be that blue, that it must be one heck of a filter. Well I was wrong, the water was clearer than any water I've ever seen. One of my friends said it was nicer than most places in the Bahamas!<br />
<br />
You can rent chairs for the day to sunbathe or you can sit on the rocks or sand for free. We opted for the free option. There are many stalls for food and drink as well as stalls for swimming gear. The best thing we saw was the fact there were lockers for people to keep their things safe and there was a man there all day looking after the them. The place was very efficient!<br />

<h3>
Last Day</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On our last day we were on the hunt for an Irish breakfast, considering we live in Sicily, the lack of a good 'ol fry up was real. So we found a place in <b>Sliema </b>and had the best fry up. After we hung around the massive shopping centre in Sliema as they had all the brands that Sicily don't. As it was so hot in Malta, we took so many breaks to cool down so we stopped in a very cute cafe called <b>French Affaire</b> to get some smoothies. If you're looking for an "Imstagrammable" place to go you should check it out!. After this we decided to head to another area of Malta called <b>St. Juliens</b>. We didn't do much on our last day except eat and relax by the water. We got here on foot but you can most definitely get a bus to it.</div>

<h3>
Tips To Know Before Coming</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Bring your swimming costume with you everywhere, we had so many opportunities to go swimming (in every area we went to) however we weren't prepared.</li>
<li>The strip of restaurants in Sliema are extremely touristic so I wouldn't recommend going there, they're also very expensive.</li>
<li>They drive on the left.</li>
<li>They speak both English and Maltese.</li>
<li>Make sure you shop around for the best offers if you're going on a boat trip.</li>
<li>There's more to see than the Blue Lagoon. Try Gozo, Tal-Mixta Cave, St. Peter's Pool, Wied il-Mielah, Ta' Pinu, Popeye Village and Hondoq Bay. </li>
<li>Malta is so small you can get busses or boats everywhere so I wouldn't recommend getting a taxi.</li>
<li>It's difficult to find good places to eat as a lot of restaurants are touristic. Make sure to do research before coming.</li>
<li>It doesn't really matter where you stay. Any nearby towns around Valletta would be ideal, as I said Malta is small so getting from area to area is so easy and quick. I would also recommend staying in Sliema as it's easy to get to everywhere from there!</li>
<li>Try Pastizzi.</li>
<li>They use a lot of rabbit in their cuising so if you are a lover of cute bunnies watch out!</li>
</ul>

<br />
It's officially here, Ireland's week long summer! *crosses fingers* Time to get out and tan that pasty white skin. Or shall I say burn..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's some do's and don't's of how to handle an Irish "Summer".</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
DO'S</h3>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Raid Lidl for everything you need for the BBQ you'll have with the gang later.</li>
<li>Set up camp in your back garden and "forget" your sun cream so you'll tan faster. </li>
<li>Sit in your room that evening lathering the aftersun on your burnt body and curse yourself for "forgetting" the sun cream. </li>
<li>To the beach!! (Repeat number 2 and 3)</li>
<li>Bag of cans at Sparch.</li>
<li>Complain about how hot it is.</li>
<li>Blow up the swimming pool you've kept in reserve since our last Summer (which probably lasted one day).</li>
<li>Discuss the weather with everyone you meet, make sure it's the main point of discussion.</li>
<li>Book your week to Costa Del Sol during the heatwave at home so your friends don't get jealous. However they may make you jealous.</li>
<li>Catch that summers day bug so you'll unfortunately miss work.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
DON'T'S</h3>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Don't let anyone else have a bigger 99 than you.</li>
<li>Don't take any unnecessary journeys.</li>
<li>Don't leave your pets in a car/ outside.</li>
<li>Don't forget to boomerang your dive off Blackrock.</li>
<li>Don't be jealous you didn't catch the summer bug on time, sometimes you have to take one for the team at work.</li>
<li>Working is better than having fun in the sun so don't be jealous.</li>
<li>Don't end up looking like a striped marshmallow.</li>
<li>For the boys: don't forget to walk around as if you're at home, who needs tops when you're in public anyways?</li>
<li>Don't avoid your mammy, you must help her as there's great dryin' out!</li>
<li>Don't walk out of Penney's without your bikinis girls!</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you're all sorted, so get out there and enjoy the sun as it won't last!</div>

Being back writing feels quite alien to me, but somehow it took my 24th birthday to inject me with motivation and determination to get back to something I love with my heart.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It was my 24th birthday two days ago (I'm getting old! and I also checked for wrinkles this morning!) some people reading are probably telling me to shut up but if you think of it, I'm almost half way to 50! Okay all jokes and dilemmas aside, today I am bringing you a much needed post for people who may need some advice whether you may be young or old.<br />

24 Life Lessons </h3>
<div>
<ol>
<li>It's okay to lose motivation/ determination for something you love, take time off, and it will come back I promise.</li>
<li>Don't be afraid to cut ties with toxic people, even if they're mutual friends with someone you like, if they are making you feel terrible about yourself you need to realise they are not for you. Don't ever torture yourself by staying in a toxic 'friendship'. </li>
<li>Show appreciation to those who help you and love you for who you are.</li>
<li>Just because someone may look happy in their Instagram posts, doesn't mean they're not going through something that hurts them so much.</li>
<li>Social media isn't everything, remember to look up from your phone once in a while to appreciate the importance of now. You won't get it back.</li>
<li>Listen to more music.</li>
<li>Be good to your family, you never know when it will be the last day with them.</li>
<li>When choosing a degree, look at all the jobs attached to it, make sure you know you could do it because once the degree is over you have to go for one of them. I know it's difficult to know what you like and it may take a few experiences in college to know what suits you. But don't waste a degree just to get the college experience.</li>
<li>Never allow an Instagram profile make you feel self conscious about your weight or looks. Everyone is different and many profiles like to use Photoshop. Some are just unrealistic so try to see that, it doesn't reflect on how gorgeous you are.</li>
<li>Don't be afraid to take risks if you believe the outcome could benefit you.</li>
<li>If you really want something, you have to work for it, nothing is ever handed on a plate. If you give up you'll never have it.</li>
<li>Exercise more, not to lose weight, but for the benefits it has on your mind and overall well being.</li>
<li>If you need to take a mental health day, take it. Always look out for yourself.</li>
<li>It's okay not to be okay. Mind yourself and talk to people.</li>
<li>Be there for others as you too will need them sometime.</li>
<li>Say "I love you" more.</li>
<li>Never settle for anything.</li>
<li>Think positive.</li>
<li>Just because others' aren't doing it, doesn't mean you can't.</li>
<li>Be more understanding</li>
<li>Make mistakes, you will learn and grow so much from them.</li>
<li>If you don't want negativity on your social media just press the unfollow button. </li>
<li>Your end goal is never easy to reach, so keep pushing.</li>
<li>Never put someone you love down in order to seem 'cool' for your 'friends'.</li>
</ol>

<br />
Travel is something that we all need, not just to escape from "reality", rather to open our minds to the other cultures out there.<br />
<br />
When I was in secondary school I knew I wanted to travel somewhere but I never knew that other countries could be so different. I was very ignorant. I believed that everyone had the same belief systems as Ireland, as well as having the same thought processes. When I look back to how ignorant and naive I was, I actually cringe. Everywhere is different and having the possibility to explore other cultures is one of the biggest gifts we could get.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Cultural Differences</h3>
<br />
Travelling really helps with cultural differences. For example if you decide to live abroad with natives from a particular country you will have to try understand how they live, and their norms. However, cultural differences can cause a lot of problems if both parties aren't open minded. It's not enough for one person to have to try and accept ones culture, the other party must also accept the other's belief systems. Believe me, it can cause some tiffs so travelling and understanding that other cultures can be different is so important. Believe me it's happened to me loads when Italians didn't know where I was coming from resulting in me having to be the only understanding side. It's just not fair on the person who is receiving the backlash of it. So rule number one, always try to see the point of the tourist/foreigner, they also have different belief systems to you.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Friendship</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Travelling opens up new doors for you and introduces the most amazing people into your lives. I for one have met the most amazing people over the last 3-4 years due to travelling. Some I would consider best friends. Having long distant friendships can be hard just like an LDR, but extremely doable. Getting to see them can be difficult at times but imagine anytime you see them it's a holiday all over again and you'll always have a place to stay depending where they're from. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Independance</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Travelling really helps with independence, going abroad without your family leaving you to fend for yourself in a country where you don't speak their language can be quite daunting. But once you get passed the language barrier and learn some phrases yourself, or understand the public transport, and the ins and outs of the city you'll be flying it. I've been stuck in situations that I never imagined would happen, for example, two years ago in Puglia, I was driving with my boyfriend in the middle of nowhere at about 2 in the morning with no internet, and 2 % battery. The petrol goes and we are stuck on the side of the road, in the middle of the night, with nobody around to help. I'm still alive and we managed to get out of that situation. Looking back it's something to remember!! Throwing yourself into the deep can face you with very difficult situations but only when you're in those situations, you really see how capable you are at doing things yourself.</div>

<h3>
Stepping out of your comfort zone</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Travelling makes you do things you wouldn't have normally done if you were back home. You find yourself saying yes to day trips/ activities/ nights out more often. It's important to say yes more when you're abroad as it'll open up so many opportunities for you and you'll meet so many people who are in the same boat as you. You never know, one yes could lead you onto meeting someone new who happens to be going on a boat trip the following day. Anything can happen so get out there and do the things you would never do in your country.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
You see life differently</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Travelling abroad can really make you see how others' live, especially in the developing world. It really makes you think how lucky you are to have the money to see these incredible places and to know you have a roof over your head when you head back home. It really puts life into perspective so when abroad be kind to the natives, interact with them and teach them your culture too. But always try to learn about theirs especially by showing interest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
You'll make the most incredible memories.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Take care of all your memories, for you cannot relive them" - Bob Dylan.</div>
<div>
Travelling opens you up to the most amazing experiences, you may even discover places you never knew existed, creating unforgettable memories. Life is an adventure and exploring every crevice of this Earth can give you the most breathtaking stories. We are not born to stay in one place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have booked three trips this month as my travel bug is at an all time high, and planning my summer is on the books. Learning new cultures is something I'm passionate about and you should be too.</div>
<div>
You just never know who you could meet or what you could do. Life is meant to be lived.</div>
