Happy Saturday guys! I’m sitting here beside my Air Con writing today’s post because it’s beyond hot outside. The sweaty New York Summer weather is definitely in full swing and I find myself wishing I lived beside a beach or had an outdoor pool! This past week was one of the quickest yet and I find it hard to believe that we’re now in the last week of July! That said, I’m very excited for the month of August, there’s some really exciting things coming up with work and my mom is flying over to visit at the end of the month so I’ll be taking some time off to play tourist with her! Here are some of the fun things I came across on the internet this week!

Happy Monday Guys! I had one of the nicest weekends here in the city! When I first moved to New York, I felt a constant pressure to be out and about doing something and seeing the city every moment that I had some free time. But now that I’ve been here more than a year, I’m starting to feel ok with just chilling in my neighbourhood and relaxing a little more! Lately on the weekends you’ll find me trying one of the amazing places for brunch here on the Upper East Side and then laying out on my picnic blanket in Sheeps Meadow in Central Park reading a good book! I think that’s a sign that I’m feeling quite content!

Hi Everyone! Half way through another week, I can nearly taste the weekend! I’m sitting here writing this post after a super long but exciting day at work! Some of you may have seen on snapchat (michaelabear1), that I was hosting a Facebook Live with Teen Vogue at the Nerve movie premiere with Emma Roberts! So much work goes into planning these things, and executing them can sometimes seem a little on the stressful side that it at the end of it I always find myself wondering “Did that just happen?” After an absolutely whirlwind of a first month at Teen Vogue, I’m trying to take a step back and appreciate all of the amazing opportunities I’ve had in just a few short weeks! I was on the phone to my Papa Bear the other day when I was feeling a little on the homesick side and something clicked with me. One day twenty years down the line, when I’ve moved back home to Ireland and hopefully have a pretty home and some kids, I’m going to look back at this time of my life in absolute amazement and think why the heck was I not more appreciative of it! Don’t get me wrong, I count my blessings every single night that so many wonderful things are happening in my life, but in other ways, there’s almost so much going on that it hasn’t even sinked in yet.

Last month I did a fun Q+A session over on Snapchat and many of the questions you guys asked were related to my makeup routine and my favourite beauty products! I’ll admit I’m definitely not hugely in the know about everything in the beauty industry but I’ve definitely discovered my favourite items of makeup over the years and know I have a makeup bag filled with a couple of staples that I use day in day out and I wanted to share them with you guys!
