A few from my birthday which I can't believe was n A few from my birthday which I can't believe was nearly 3 weeks ago now!? August has flown!! Kicked off this new decade โœŒ๐Ÿป with some of my favourite things...sea swimming, sunshine/ relaxed times, jewels and of course delicious food!
Another #tb selection of a nice time Summer saunte Another #tb selection of a nice time Summer sauntering Blarney Castle and Gardens ๐ŸŒฟ Such a beautiful sunny day well spent with good friends, seeing sights. Considering its right on our doorstep and the grounds are huge (60 acres!), we'll definitely be going back again ourselves to explore more (I do get why, but it's unfortunately not dog friendly ๐Ÿ˜” so we didn't spend as long as we'd have liked). Bet Autumn views there would be magical!

Never enough time spent in the homeland, especiall Never enough time spent in the homeland, especially when it's the first time back since Christmas 2019!! Didn't get around to seeing everyone I wanted to but managed some perfection catch ups, plenty of stomps and did loads in the time we were back, even if it flew! This' just a home appreciation post, being back in my natural habitat and complete with standard Welsh snow one minute, sunshine the next weather ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ–ค

It's spooky season all year round in this house, so the thing I'm most excited about right now is just being back in the time of year that inspires and energises me the most ๐Ÿ–ค

Not ready to let go of the sun though. Feel like I've had a new found appreciation for sunshine and warmth (and freedom) this year. Hope we get a decent amount of crisp Autumn sun days and not so much of the obligatory sideways rain!

Also, how beautiful is the @meltcosmetics mary Jane palette?? Bit of a different/ out of my warm grungy comfort zone/ cooler colour story for me and have only recently started having a proper play after picking it up ages ago, but have been really enjoying its rich neutral swamp witch energy ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป
An actual makeup post, who is she?! Genuinely don' An actual makeup post, who is she?! Genuinely don't remember the last time I wore proper eyeshadow and lashes , so thought I'd document it. Wasn't going anywhere, was just feeling this quick mini reverse wing situation and felt like a lash was needed even if I did take them straight off after the photo ๐Ÿ˜‚

My makeup routine and preferences have changed so much over the past year. Anyone else??
Definitely prefer lighter/ natural coverage and a dewier more real skin finish when it comes to skin now. I've never been able to resist some degree of grungy eye though ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค

Seeing out the last day of my birth month August yesterday exploring a new beach. Can't believe it's September already! Still waiting for that all important trip back to the homeland (soon!) and although I've actually enjoyed the summer and having some proper sun (unusual enough in Wales or Ireland ๐Ÿ˜‚) I'm definitely ready for this new Autumn/ spooky season energy now, it feels like the light at the end of the tunnel! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ“ White Bay Beach (Cuan Bรกn), co. Cork

Will be back when the tide's lower next time to check out the little cave there and might even take our swim togs. Such a beautiful, secluded and scenic little beach with amazing views at the entrance to Cork Harbour.

Swipe for a golden sand slug surprise ๐Ÿ‘€
