#71 How to make an Irish salad
Cé go bhfuil sé ag cur báistí agus muid á scríobh seo, bhí an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch an tseachtain seo caite. Sin an fáth ar shocraigh muid ár gciseáin picnic a bhailiú & sailéad Éireannach a ullmhú dúinn féin. D’éirigh muid giddy over Doireann’s liamhás costasach agus bhí muid ag fizzeáil mar gheall ar an arán & im a bhí ag Síomha. And what did Louise forage/find on her office desk for us
#70 How to have a bikini body
Mar a deir Síomha, má tá bikini body uait, cuir bicíní ort — sin é, níl obair ar bith eile le déanamh! Ach dar ndóigh, the wellness & diet industry is a beast that would have you ag creidiúint nach amhlaidh an scéal. Gach aon lá, cuirtear íomhánna os ár gcomhair a insíonn dúinn gur meaisíní iad ár gcoirp a gcaithfidh muid smacht a bheith againn orthu, agus cuirtear brú millteanach orainn a bheith
#69 How to sauna
Dá gcaithfeá cloch na laethanta seo, is dócha go mbuailfeá duine ag glacadh grianghraif díobh féin ag teacht amach ó shána. Agus cé go bhfuil cuma ar an scéal go bhfuil folcadh fuar san fharraige ‘s seisiún sána ina dhiaidh ina dtreocht nua-aimseartha, the Irish have a history of getting a sweat on. San eip seo, we talk about the history of the Teach Allais, agus faoi na rudaí a dhéanaimid ar son
#68 How to Bealtaine
Tá Bealtaine linn agus táimid ag mothú an draíocht agus an fhéidearthacht atá romhainn sna míonna atá le teacht. Doireann and Louise are full of ideas this week so grab a notebook and start planning and manifesting. Plus, tá léamh tarot beo ag deireadh an eipeasóid. Seo linn!

#67 How to have a sing song
Tá na cailíní ar thuras bóthair agus tá siad ag baint taitnimh as go mór. An tseachtain seo, is é an topaic How to have a sing song and no better woman. Ina suí ar leaba Síomha, bíonn siad ag plé cén t-amhrán is fearr le canadh os comhair roinnt turasóirí. Cén amhrán a chuireann “yoch” orthu. Agus b’fhéidir go mbeadh amhrán eile ó Dhoireann ann freisin

#64 How to be petty
Sa chlár seo, tá sé ar fad faoi na rudaí beaga a dhéanaimid nuair a bhíonn muid ag mothú mailíseach, agus nuair a bhíonn daoine eile mailíseach linn. Áiteanna páirceála, ag glacadh an iomarca spáis ar thaca láimhe, is iad na rudaí is lú uaireanta is mó a chuireann isteach orainn. Bain sult as!

#60 How to be an international woman le Fiona Frawley
Tharla Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan Dé Sathairn, arb é an lá céanna a bhí ann dár seó i gCorcaigh, agus bhí craic mhór againn. Agus cé go bhfuilimid cúpla lá déanach, theastaigh uainn an micreafón a roinnt agus ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar aoi na seachtaine seo, an scríbhneoir agus an grinnchumadóir Fiona Frawley. Fiona was featured earlier this year in the Irish Times as one of Ireland’s 50 Under 50 and
#59 How to host
Doireann is back from the US but didn't get souvenirs for either Síomha or Louise. She did treat Louise to a Kombucha from Drimnagh and what's more glam than that?
This week, we're talking all about hosting. Cad a dhéanann cóisir mhaith? An bhfuil an diabhal sna sonraí, agus cá mhéad sailéad prátaí is iomarca? Nílimid faitíosach na ceisteanna móra a chur anseo!

An tseachtain seo, táimid ag caint faoi comebacks. Ó ghearrthóga O’Neills go Pamela Anderson, breathnaímid ar na daoine agus na rudaí atá ag teacht ar ais isteach inár n-aird.

Plus, Louise also shares her jeans truth for the first time and puts h
#57 How to take America

#56 How to make your bed
An bhfuil aon rud níos deise ná dul isteach i leaba dea-dhéant? An tusa an cineál duine a fhágann an leaba mar a fhaigheann tú í? Nó an mbraitheann tú greannmhar má fhágann tú gan déanamh é? Cad a deir do sheasamh codlata fút? Plus, na mná consider starting a Only Fans for tights. We know some heads who'd defo buy them...say nathin'!

#54 How to relax
Téann Síomha ar shaoire fhada amháin agus is saineolaí anois í (dár léithi agus dár leíthi amháin).

Also - plé ar céard atá isteach & amach do 2025
