Why are we always drawn to the things that are wrong for us? Or why do we always do the exact thing someone has just told us not to do? It’s like when you tell little children not to play with super-glue because it’s dangerous. …
Do you ever get bored of having the same thing for dinner over & over again? Pasta with a tomato based sauce, pizza, more pasta, maybe some rice if you’re feeling adventurous, always the same dishes that you’re been making for years. Yeah, well, I …
Guys, summer has finally arrived in Ireland! It was a bit touch & go for a while, sunny one day & then lashing rain the next, but it seems like the sun is here to stay, at least for the next week or so. That being …
