Coffee – if it wasn’t for it I could not do my job! Renowned in the studios for my addiction to coffee, I could not pass up an opportunity to partner with Nespresso, one of my favourite coffee brands. I remember when I first bought the pods I was so excited to use them as I thought I was a barista. It’s the little things!
The Nespresso story began with a simple idea: enable anyone to create the perfect cup of espresso coffee – just like a skilled barista. From its beginning in 1986, Nespresso has redefined and revolutionised the way millions of people enjoy their espresso coffee. It has shaped the global coffee culture.
Nespresso’s single focus is on delivering highest quality coffees and ultimate coffee experiences to their consumers cup after cup. They compete in both the business-to-consumer and business-to-business segments, allowing consumers to enjoy their highest quality coffees at home and to recreate these perfect coffee moments wherever they may be.
I am obsessed with keeping my hair healthy and in good condition, this is why when Tresemme got in touch with me about doing a partnership, I was delighted. I have been using Tresemme products for years and knew it would be a good one to work with.
Edna L. Emme founded the brand in 1948. She embodied the confidence to walk taller every day; the perfect role model for inspiring modern women today.
Rising from the machine floor to the boardroom, she became vice-president of the Godfroy Manufacturing Company, a rare achievement in an age when executives were almost exclusively men.
It was at Godfroy that Edna launched TRESemmé – originally developed as a salon range for strong, smooth hair, and named after Edna, with a well deserved play on the French for ‘much-loved’. So at a time when professional products were just available in salons, it was Edna who had the vision to bring professional-quality hair to women at home – making hair history by introducing TRESemmé to the public.
She continued to pave the way for women in her personal and professional career. She conquered and impacted an industry that she helped to make a reality.
The Marie Keating Foundation is one that is particularly close to my heart. I think we all have loved ones who have been affected in some way by cancer. I was delighted to partner with the Marie Keating foundation and help to contribute to the wonderful work that they do.
Following their mother Marie’s death in 1998, the Keating family promised that they would do everything they could to bring an end to cancer. They committed to provide all families with the necessary information to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages.
Through its community information service, the Foundation’s dedicated nurses have enlightened over 200,000 people of the causes and risk factors of cancer. The Foundation is continuing to expand its awareness campaigns on each of the most common cancers affecting both men and women in Ireland, at local level through its community outreach approach as well as through national campaigns.
Through its Comfort Fund, the Marie Keating Foundation provides financial assistance to people who are currently receiving treatment for any kind of cancer and who, as a result, find themselves in financial difficulty. In 2015 alone, over 350 families received assistance from the Comfort Fund.
Spending long days on my feet means that it is so important to wear comfortable shoes. In the past, I have found trying to combine comfort with style a tricky one. This is why I was so excited to partner with Skechers, the true essence of comfort and style. I could not recommend this brand highly enough – every time I wear my skechers I feel like I am walking on clouds!
