17 natural insect repellants in home made soap making: As proven by science
The past few weeks I’ve had a new problem which I’ve never had to deal with in my life before. I don’t know if it’s because I’m heavily pregnant (do the hormones change the way I smell?) or if the wasps in Donegal are just more persistent than the rest of the world, but I […]

Applying for Midwifery Science and Dietetics
So I’m still thinking on this, but it’s something that I’ve been wondering about for a long time. Being a midwife over here isn’t the same as being one in America. Over here you’re part-obstetrician and part-obstetric nurse (we don’t have ob nurses over here at all, just midwives). In Northern Ireland, midwives do all […]

Which is better: Studio fix style setting spray or hairspray (for actually setting make-up)?
I did a fun beauty investigation over the past week to find out whether hairspray, setting spray (or nothing) is better for making your make-up stay put in a variety of weather conditions! The video’s tests are hilarious but it’s asking a real and important question about a beauty product that most of us use […]

Photographs of Salzburg, Austria
After a two day car drive to Salzburg, Austria, I arrived with a big list of things to do in Salzburg. I was expecting it to be cold, but instead I found Salzburg to be a mountain-surrounded retreat bathed in brilliant sunshine with clear air and perfect light for photography: This big gold ball was a mystery, […]

Can a whitening toothpaste really whiten your teeth?
After being ill for so long, my teeth were in serious need of some whitening. Lack of nutrients coupled with vomiting millions of times a day means I look and feel like a train wreck at the moment (actually I’ve visually improved a lot over the last fortnight but I’m still not my usual self), […]

How does Protein Filler For Hair Work?
It’s Science Friday (okay, it’s actually Saturday now, but I had this uploaded at 23:10 last night after trying to get it to go live all day) and today’s video explains how protein filler, one of the latest “miracle products” works, and whether claims that it “repairs” the hair are exaggerated.

Got rid of my white hair (neat science video): SCIENCE! Friday
Today, I bring you… hair science! No more white hair for me! I had to dye my hair darker again because it’s time to renew my passport, and if you look different to your old photo, they make you get people to sign that they’ve known you for x amount of years. I don’t want […]

What is Micellar Water? CAUTION: SCIENCE!!
I’m away until Mon/Tue, this is prescheduled. What is micellar water? Are you someone who sees a new word and wonders what it means? I was looking into whey protein substitutes today and learned that the word “micellar” isn’t just a brand name. It’s a biological term, and I’m going to explain it to you […]

What is “all natural,” and what are “chemicals?”
What is “all natural” and what are “chemicals?” I am going to discuss what these two terms ought to mean, and what they really mean. Before anyone’s all like “how surprising,” this actually is surprising to a lot of people. I have known about this issue for a very long time, because I was lucky […]
