Fast fashion is here, and it looks like it's here to stay. With major brands like Zara and H&M churning out new designs, styles and collections quicker than ever before, it is becoming extremely difficult to become sustainable in your clothes shopping. I have listed for you in this blog some of Dublin’s best spots to help you add to your sustainable wardrobe collection.
About a year ago, I signed up to do a 10K charity run. When I was younger I had always played all sorts of sports including taking part in cross-country races, so I was naturally quite active. However it had been a good few years since I had ran seriously, with soccer being my main form of aerobic exercise.
As a “sufferer” of the self-diagnosed travel-bug, and being based in Dublin, London has been a go-to, quick-fix - the ultimate antidote for a dull period in work or school that won't break the bank (thank you Ryanair!). After a couple of trips, the "must-see" sights of London became a bore (one trip around the London Eye is enough!!). Here, I have compiled a digestible list of some of London's more unique offerings that won't feature on every travel blog and city-guide you see.

There’s no better feeling than finding a new song that you love! You listen to it non-stop for days on end and it makes you happy every time you hear it. Eventually, you think you might be ready for something new. At this point, I usually look at that same artist’s other albums or songs, hoping to find another masterpiece for the next few days. With music legends however, this can be a daunting task. If you, like me, weren't fortunate enough to grow up when all these legends were releasing music, you have probably missed out on a huge amount of amazing songs. When you look at artists like Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton and Fleetwood Mac, who played for decades and released countless albums, there are hundreds of songs to work through, and naturally, not all of them are great songs. In these huge collections of hundreds or thousands of songs, it can be easy to stick to the most famous songs, meaning some incredible songs have been lost in time, or simply haven’t gotten the attention they deserve – until today. In this list, I’m going to name some of the best songs from music legends which don’t feature in the artists’ Top 10 on Spotify - and I think they need more recognition. So without further ado, let’s get started on rediscovering 7 Most Underrated Songs from Music Legends!

Hey guys and welcome back to our blog!
Today’s post is all about free things to do in Dublin (when you’re not busy flying to everywhere else in Europe and making use of those Ryanair discounts!)
There is plenty to see and do in the city – and even just outside Dublin as we venture into Wicklow – but we know you’ve probably heard of the touristy spots by now (The Guinness Storehouse, The Viking Splash, Kilmainham Gaol, Trinity College and so on). So we’ve come up with three weekend ideas to tick off your Dublin exchange student bucket list, that you may not have discovered just yet!
