I’m starting my perfect day by…

Waking up to my little lady smiling back at me, watching Madagascar with my Azera coffee in hand. Total bliss!

I’m heading for a solo breakfast so I head to…

If I am local definitely Gourmet Food Parlour in Swords. The guys in there know me well at this stage. Another fab local spot is Two Boys Brew which do amazing coffee but if in town then it has to be Balfes in the Westbury.

No morning is complete without an epic coffee. I grab mine from…

The Grind in Howth. It is DELICIOUS! Best coffee I’ve tasted outside of Australia or you can’t beat a Butlers Coffee either….Ohh and the free chocolate too.

I have to catch up on work so I work from…

Home mainly now that I am on maternity leave. But funny you should ask as I am off into town early tomorrow to do some work before I get my hair done as Lily is being minded so I just booked a table in Balfes. Ohh I am already looking forward to it. 

All that work has worked up an appetite so for lunch I head to…

The Port House on South William St. They do a tapas menu for 12euro with a drink and I always went for lunch when I worked in town. I loved it. Sean had never been before he met me and now we go all the time for lunch and dinner. Gorgeous tapas. Try the seafood paella, the beef cheek and the chorizo you won’t be disappointed

I meet a friend with their kids so to keep ‘em entertained I bring them to…

Avoca in Malahide Castle. Lots of space and you can go to the playground after too. Coffee for Mammy and playground for the kids, win win really

Next up, a spot of shopping. This means I’m straight in to…

I mainly do my shopping online but when in Dublin you can’t beat Zara on Stephen’s Green and the big H&M on South King St. I always pop into Brown Thomas for a look too. I worked there for 6 years so I just love going back in. It was a gorgeous place to work and I loved it.

I want to impress an out-of-town friend so I bring them to this Dublin hidden gem…

It’s not hidden at all but definitely a favourite. The Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse I just love. You can’t get any better than that really. .

I’m going for a celebratory dinner so it has to be…

The Ivy. I just fell in love with it when we went in September, the food, the service, the decor, everything. I went a few days later and it was just as nice. We are actually going for brunch on Christmas Eve and I can’t wait for it.

This night calls for a drink so I bring them on a mini pub-crawl to three of my faves…

Zozimus, Nolita, Sophie’s and Vintage Cocktail Club for me. Love them all.

Those drinks have got us in the mood for dancing so it has to be…

Xico was the last place I was dancing the night away in town, even though it’s more of a bar. We had fun regardless.

All that dancing have worked up an appetite so, we grab some late-night eats in…

No competition here. It’s Eddie Rockets. You can’t beat a garlic cheese chips after a night out. I have so many memories of in there during my college days when I was full-time and it still is my spot now.

My favourite thing about the city is…

The people. Moving abroad made me appreciate our city and our little island so much more. I adore Dublin and proud to call it my home. I absolutely love Sarah’s blog and have found so many hidden gems just from reading it. The ladies on Grafton St selling the flowers are my favourite. I chatted to them every single day when I worked in town. 

If I was a tourist in this city I’d definitely stay in…

The Dean hotel. It’s super quirky and really cool. If you are looking to go fancy then of course, it’s The Shelbourne or The Westbury but a packet of Tayto in your room before bed, you can’t beat the Dean.
