Hello people of the internet! Last week I visited the lovely Julie from *Eyelash Extensions Douglas to (as you've probably guessed) have my lashes done! Julie started doing eyelash extensions full-time in May from her home. I hadn't had mine done in over a year so after finding her on Instagram I was super excited.
Hello people of the internet! You might have read my post a few months ago about the Essence Spa. The Essence Spa is part of SanoVitae in the Clarion Hotel in Cork City. I had such an amazing time in November that when they asked me back of course I said yes! This time, I went for something different. I had a hydrotherapy bath and my nails done for the first time since I was 18.
Hello people of the internet! On Thursday morning I was lucky enough to head over to the Essence Spa in SanoVitae (The spa/gym part of the wonderful Clarion Hotel in Cork) for a *Escale Beaute Mini Facial (€45) and a Essence Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage (€45). Now, I have never been to a spa before. I was on Twitter the night before asking people what to wear. I was so nervous. But, the second I stepped in there I was relaxed!
Hello people of the internet! On Sunday I attended the 10th Annual Cork Pride Parade. I arrived early so I could have every opportunity to snap pictures. It was amazing to see people slowly trickling in. This by far was the biggest pride parade I've been to yet. I'm pretty sure there were about 700-900 people marching in the parade. For the first time ever, it wasn't just a protest to show that we, the LGBTI community, are equal. It was also a celebration of our country finally recognizing that we are. The parade was lead by people carrying flags from various countries where being apart of our community is still against the law. It's a reminder that we are privileged to have the people of Ireland behind us when many counties will still sentence people to death for being gay.
