Why do people think it’s okay to mock the word “autistic”?

Something I have been seeing more and more of is the word "autism" or "autistic" being used in a bad connotation. The word "retard" or "retarded" was frequently used inappropriately, and now it's this. The number of people I have seen calling their friends "autistic" for making a funny face/noise, acting stupidly or generally just…

Irish ‘Influencers’ have a platform to help Irelands mental health crisis; but they’re not.

A couple of months ago I was watching a vlog by Shani Grimmond. She is an Australian beauty Youtuber with over 1 million subscribers to her Youtube channel alone. Shani recently had a boob job and she made a video on Youtube about it. She looked amazing (but she looked just as amazing before it).…

Social Media Obsessed: Are we even living in ‘reality’ anymore?

Every morning I aimlessly scroll through Instagram. I look at girls with 'perfect' bodies, hair, skin as they sit on a beach sipping a pina colada. My day hasn't even started yet and already I'm thinking :"Why can't my life be like theirs?" It's Friday night and I'm at a concert, having a great time,…

I’ve outgrown it all.

  Something I've always considered one of weaknesses is holding grudges. If you did wrong on me when I was 12, you best believe that I remember it! When I was younger I remember hearing various adults say "nothing surprises me anymore" after gossiping about a local neighbour who had an affair with her husbands…

A post of nothingness- An update.

Wow... it has been so long since i've written on this, I'm sorry! It has been over 4 months since my last blog post. The excuse i've been telling myself for not writing on this has been that I was away enjoying life in the sun, living in the moment and not having the time.…

What I’m packing for 3 months in a hot Country!

In two days I will be on a plane setting of to the sunny island of Tenerife for the whole summer. I am so excited and starting to pack is really making it seem real! I am notorious for over-packing and because I am going for such a long time I'm not gonna lie I…

Band Tees/ OOTD

So the sun came out in Ireland for approximately 2 hours so the whole country went mad! I went so mad that I ventured outside in shorts and a t-shirt (I froze to death!) I just thought I'd share an OOTD because it is very rare we can get nice pictures in the sun here.…

15 things I wish I was told at 15.

I recently just finished watching 13 Reasons Why on Netflix. If you haven't heard of it its a series about a teenager who died by suicide and she left tapes of the 13 reasons why she died. It's seriously good! I was addicted and binge watched it in a few days. It had an extremely good message-…

My Spring/ Summer Wishlist

So I think we all got very excited last week when we had two days of sunshine in Ireland (I sure did anyway!) Well I got so hyped for spring and summer that I had to drool over all the  new clothes online. I know the sun didn't last very long (they're talking about snow…
