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.
Hello people of the internet! Today is the second installment of Pure Cork! If you don't know what that is, let me explain! Basically, it's a little review or profile of a Cork city business. If I go some where and I love it, I'll share it. Or, if a business contacts me (and I like them enough and think you will too) I'll do a little piece on them! Today's post is a business I just couldn't love more. Deep South. Located at the end of Grand parade is possibly one of the best beer gardens you could ever come across in the Rebel county. With lights strung atop the fences and in trees and the smell of a barbecue lingering in the air, you don't feel like you're in a bar. You get this atmosphere that you're at a party.
Hello people of the internet! I feel like I should start this post by giving a huge shout out to everyone who voted and made Same -sex marriage legal this weekend. Unfortunately, I can't vote because I'm American. You guys are truly heroes. Thank you for doing your part of being a citizen and making Ireland a happier, more equal country! Anyways, it's been a while, huh? I've been feeling like a terrible blogger lately. I think this will be my fourth post this month? Life has (once again) gotten in the way. I was in Dublin for a few days this week and before that Galway. Now, I'm battling one of my signature chest infections. I have so much to share with you though! During my time in Dublin I was lucky enough to go to the Wet'n'Wild summer launch. To say the least, it was AMAZING! I was a little nervous since it was my first press event but I had the wonderful Grace from Longhairandlashes and the lovely Jess from JesskaDenise to help calm my nerves!
Hello people of the internet! If you follow me on twitter (Like you should!) you'd know I participate in Cork Hour. It's just a little networking thing that takes place every Monday and there's a(n unreal) sponsor. I ended up taking home the prize this week, Luckily enough, the sponsor this week was Veronica's Snacks!

Hello people of the internet! So, I've officially started my hunt for my outfit/make-up for New Year's Eve! I just want to start the 2015 off with a bang. More than ever, I want to try something new. There are three things to me that just scream glamour in the Winter: velvet, sequins, and lace! I want to be covered in all of them!
