Out of My Comfort Zone - Laughter Yoga

Yesterday I went to Laughter Yoga with two of my friends. Karen of Bright With Delight had asked us to go and I just thought to myself sure feck it you really do only live once, what’s the worst that could happen. It is really out of my comfort zone but I was really happy to do it.

I didn’t know what to expect but seeing as I was with the girls I didn’t feel that awkward. When we got there we sat around in a circle and it was explained to us that we would be doing 20 exercises all containing a bit of laughter.

It was all a bit awkward as we had to laugh out loud and make a lot of eye contact with people, but after a while it all felt a little normal. At some points we had to pretend we were animals, hug people, shake hands, pretend we were dinosaurs and all different degrees of laughter was involved but it was literally such a laugh. If anyone walked in from the street it probably looked like we were let loose from an insane asylum but it all felt normal to us.

I love yoga and my favourite is Bikram, I just think it is so much better than the normal yoga and it’s still my favourite even after the class last night, but I do think I would do the laughter yoga again. It felt great just to let everything go and feel free from what everyone thinks about you. I think people take life too seriously these days and the idea that you can go to this class and let your inhibitions go and not care what people think of you is just a great feeling.

There’s so many benefits of the class to your health and as the saying goes, “laughter is the best medicine”. You feel so content and relaxed after the class, if you’re in anyway feeling low or in a rut I would recommend this class it will do wonders for you.

I’m so happy Karen introduced me to the laughter yoga, she’s one of the most positive people I know and the class embodied her personality so much, we’ve even said that we should do random classes like this every few weeks and I hope that we do as it’s such a great night out and we get to bond that little bit more.

Thanks for reading and if you have any ideas of what class we should next just leave a comment below.

Have a great day guys!

A day at the zoo

Last week I read in the paper that a new baby giraffe had been born at Dublin Zoo, so today I went off the zoo and have a peep of the little fella.

The weather wasn't as good as it had been at the start of the weekend but it only rained a little and luckily didn't start pouring till we left!

I love going to the Zoo it makes me feel like such a big kid and brings back so many memories of school tours and days out during the holidays with my family!

Every time I go to the zoo there is always something new to see or a new layout or enclosure so it's great when you go once or twice a year it doesn't get boring. I have two baby nephews and I’m dying for them to get a little older so I can bring them along and create so many memories with them. I will definitely be getting the yearly pass when they're older.

I took loads of photos but here are a few of my faves, I hope you enjoy and I recommend heading to the Zoo over the summer it's such a great day out :)

Sunday

After the amazing and heart stopping victory over the French to win the 6 Nations last weekend, my friend and I went to Dublin Airport to welcome the team home. We waited nearly 2 hours to see the boys, the crowds where crazy and I finally got the perfect spot beside the elevator to get snaps off them all!

Monday

I didn't live up to the Irish stereotype of getting blind drunk on St. Patrick's Day, instead I stayed at home and watched the parade. I did eventually get dressed and tested out some tan products from Cocoa Brown.

Testing out Cocoa Brown

Tuesday

On Tuesday I went to the O2 to see Drake with my friend Megan. This was my second time to see him, the arena wasn't as full as last time but the crowd where still buzzing. I bought the most ghetto looking outfit I could find and I fitted in perfectly, in fact I was probably a little over dressed compared to some of the other girls.

Wednesday

My brows where looking a little crazy and I had an interview on Thursday so I needed to look my best so I booked into Elysian Brow. They're my go to place to get threaded, the girls in there really know their stuff.

Thursday

When I had my facial last week I was recommended by the girls in Pink Beauty to try Nimue Cleansing Gel and Conditioner Tonic. They didn't have any in stock so they ordered it in for me, so on Thursday I picked them up. My boyfriend was with me at the time and gave out to me for spending so much on "crap" for my face, he was so disappointed he's given me a spending ban (we'll see how long that lasts).

Friday

I was in work all day friday and after I went to see Starred Up with my boyfriend, so when I got home I had my March Glossybox waiting for me. This month it had Vita Liberata tan samples, Dove 60 second hair treatment, a Sleek Pout Polish in a limited edition Caribbean collection, a Mitchell and Peach body cream and a Bellapierre Cosmetics shimmer powder.

I don't think this week will be as eventful but we'll see!

Hope you all had a good weekend 😃
