Easter Chicks

My mam purchased some little Easter Cream Egg holders last week for charity. When I seen them I just couldn't help but take my camera out and take some pictures of them. 


As a well known chocoholic among my family and friends, I love Easter. And at the wonderful age of 22, I still look forward to receiving way to many Easter eggs off my family. Some might find this bizarre, I find it amazing! 


Isn't it great to think that something as small as an Easter egg can make someone super happy? (yes thats how much I love em!) 


I believe...
Spread the love - spread the chocolate! ;)


But before Easter arrives and we get to enjoy all the yumminess it brings, here are my Easter Chick pictures & I hope you enjoy them to! 

The full collection of images can be found on my Flickr page 

Spring is Here!

No one can deny that the weather these past few days has been amazing. Cloudless skies & perfect drives watching the sun rise in the mornings.


I am definately a huge fan of Spring & all the light and happiness it brings. Ireland has been a hard place for us all to be in these past few months but with this grogeous weather, doesnt it all seem that bit easier?
This is just a quick post to say that I personally, along with many of you I'm sure welcome Spring with big open arms. Spring brings a sense of positivity and joy - something we all need these days. 




And it always makes me feel that something great may just be around the corner... 


Happy 1st of March everyone, have a fabulous day! X

Sunny Thoughts

At the moment the wind is blowing my house sideways and I will be very surprised if I look out my window and my bean can of a car is still there, but there’s something soothing about being inside when outside is so stormy?  So this soothingness (I know that’s not a word hehe) I’m feeling I’m going to channel into a blog post about my favorite season. A season we can’t help to think about when the weather is the way it is outside. 

Ah summer, with your long evenings, bright mornings and warm temperatures. How I have missed you! I can’t wait for you to come so I can revert back to my denim knee length shorts, glad sandals and my awesome new Ray Bans!  And even though we all know Irish Summers are pretty sucky, how can we not look forward to summer when we look outside our windows today!  

It will be amazing to be woken up by birdies singing and a big yellow sun shining into my room and hurting my eyes before I even open them. Yes gentle ladies and gentlemen, I am a summer girl and days like this don’t stand a chance compared to the happy floaty days of summer that I love so so much. 

Don’t you just love the smell of barbeques in summer!? Or even better eating barbeques in summer!?  I am a fattie bum bum for those of you who do not know: P

But you see the thing about this summer is that I don’t know what it has in store. In fact I have no idea what’s in store! And as I am nearing the end of my current internship, I am starting to worry about what is next. But rather than worrying about the unknown I’m starting (or trying) to be positive and think, this is like an adventure!

This recession has thrown me a loof as I’m generally a girl who is extremely organised, who has her life mapped out and who always has her next step planned. Being thrown into this sudden unknown, isn’t easy for me but I’m learning to deal with it one step at a time and these thoughts of summer, make things seem a little bit easier for us all.

In a country and a climate that I thought I’d never see or live through I believe we need thoughts of a happy sunny summer to reassure us and keep us going!?

There’s no point in worrying about whether or not I will have a job this summer. I mean it’s not the end of the world and unfortunately, I just have to keep the chin up and see this as an opportunity to develop and explore.

Either way one thing is for sure, I cannot wait for bright evenings, walks along the canal and up in the woods, trips to the beach, playing basketball with my nephews, lazing about on my sun lounger whilst listening to my ipod, fighting with Winston the pug, drowning Paddy with the water hose, tweeting way too much, taking pictures, eating 99s, reading fashion mag after fashion mag and generally just being happy in myself.

I welcome the summer with open arms and a happy frame of mind, because as long as I have a lovely tan, sure everything else will work out! ;)

It seems so far away, but it really is only three months! We are almost there folks.

Here’s to summer 2011! 

I can't wait - can you!?

So I’m a Blogger now!

So blogging, the hot topic on everyone’s lips these days. From employers, to friends, to hip and cool music artists, we are all hearing about the “coolness” of being a blogger. So, as one who likes to try new things, I have always being curious about blogging and I've finally decided to jump onto the band wagon and try it out.

For quite a little gal, I’m about five foot short, I am known to never stop talking. This for me is another outlet to talk and giggle and share happy moments with you all, my lovely blog readers! :)

When it came to deciding what to write my blog on however, my always having too much to say personality became a problem because I couldn’t choose which topic route to take! And with the help of my super duper boyfriend, I decided that keeping it general was the best option. So a big welcome to YOU from my super general (but brilliant!) blog! :)

   

Day one as a blogger...

How do I feel? To be honest, I feel I’ve been hit in the head with the cool and hip bat. Oh yes, I am now cool and hip and feel every bit of it! Waking up this morning, with a big sleepy head and its straight to the laptop to try get a design that best portrays my happy and flowery self. Flowery you say, yes I am a walking flower bed. Not that I go around with peat moss (is that what its called?!) hanging out of me but it’s kind of my trademark that with any outfit I wear any day you are bound to see some flowers somewhere! So there is the explanation of my blog design.

Ok so down to the important stuff (my sales pitch ahem ahem), what’s my blog gonna be about? Well I’ll tell you just that! It’s gonna be a mixture of things, things ranging from my own personal interests. Things like fashion and travel and photography and memories and probably a little bit of marketing seen as that’s my background. All in all it’s gonna be on a lot of things, but things to bring you variety and laughs and amusement I hope! :)

So I guess to some up this first official post, I hope you will pop back and browse my posts and my photography and hopefully I will inspire you in some way or another. The goal is to pass my smile onto you. So again, welcome, thanks for reading and I look forward to being blogging buddies :) ...In a non creepy way of course! :)

Be safe and happy blogging,

Kathleen xoxo
