It seems at last that the snow saga has come to an end, in Cork at least, if not for all of Ireland. I’m relieved to get back to normal routine. All this madness meant despite having extra time on my hands I didn’t get a lot of work done, instead spending a lot of […]
Today I bit the bullet and dove into finally doing something slightly terrifying: I did a live video on Instagram. Go me! It was of course for our business (www.caralizadesigns.com) and I spent about twenty minutes setting everything up and freaking out beforehand, so that by the time I actually did the live story my […]
Lazy Sundays… I’ve never experienced a better one. I spent a lot of my morning in bed reading a brand new book by the wonderful Marian Keyes (one of the few authors almost guaranteed to always make me laugh out loud and whose take on life is rich and authentic and utterly hilarious) followed by […]
One little thing I’d like to share, since I don’t have anything specific to write about for this scribble, is that for the past few days I’ve been really good and disciplined and have finally, FINALLY, got some control over my inner chocaholic. The cookie monster is tamed at last, however temporarily. Lately I’ve been […]
It’s 10.43 pm, I’ve just finished my dinner and washed the dishes and I’m just waiting to get this daily scribble done before I can head off to bed. Why so late? We were out on the town folks! Or, as normal people would say, Alex and I headed out to the pub for a […]
We all hanker after things we love: pretty clothes, travelling the world, going out for coffees/partying, getting a new car, a boyfriend/girlfriend… the list is infinite. We believe that accommodating these desires will make us happy and in the meantime abide in a state of dissatisfaction and mild tension as long as we can’t. But […]
Today I’m feeling sluggish and unmotivated. Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely tonnes of stuff I could or should be doing, but I really don’t feel like doing any of it! The house needs hoovering and dusting (and a whole lot more but even just those things would be a good start). The website for […]
Upon discovering this morning that my previous blog-post contained a heinous typo (where I somehow called Tom Hanks – Tom Cruise even though in my head the screen said Hanks) I decided to write today’s daily scribble in the morning for once. It seems my eyes and brain aren’t too reliable later on in the […]
I’m a really lucky person. There are many many reasons why that is true, but for this daily scribble I’m going to focus on just one. Today, after more than a week without any real exercize plus a lot of time spent sitting at a computer, I headed off up the nearby hill for a […]
I’m writing this after three hours already on the computer going through website edits with my brother via Facebook messenger (he lives in Austria). Staring at a computer screen for so long is both exhausting and stimulating. I walked away from the desk stooped and weary yet my mind feels tense and agitated; it doesn’t […]
