Welcome to LovelyGirlieBits
I’m an Irish beauty blogger and content creator, sharing honest beauty reviews and recommendations online for over 15 years. What started as a passion for skincare & makeup has naturally grown into something more - a love of gardening & finding joy in the everyday.
Here you’ll find a cosy mix of:
- Beauty & skincare (with a focus on what really works)
- Gardening, growing from seed & greenhouse life
- Cosy home moments & simple lifestyle content
- Real life vlogs & little joys
Lovely Girlie Bits has evolved alongside me, from beauty blogging to embracing a slower, more grounded way of living, while still loving a good serum, lipstick, & pottering in the garden.
If you enjoy practical beauty advice, gentle gardening inspiration, & cosy, real-life content, you’re in the right place.

Hi everyone! I don't have a video today, thanks to being struck down with a wonderful chest infection that has me coughing and wheezing like crazy, so filming wasn't an option. But I've been busy writing a blog post and substack post which you can read here!
My blog post is about 5 easy flowers to grow from seed for beginner gardeners:

And you know how I feel about growing from seed! I can't wait to get going! My plan is to do a seed inventory next week to see what I have and what I need (I could open my own seed shop at this point!)
My Substack post features some of my self-care plans for 2026. Since sharing it, I've had lots of DMs on Instagram from people saying it gave them lots of inspiration and I realised I never really share my posts on here!

Hey guys! This week’s video will be a bit late, but it’s coming! I was supposed to be going on a day trip with Catherine and I was going to film it, but our plans changed last night.
I filmed when we were together on Thursday so that will be coming tonight/tomorrow 🥰 I’m spending the day with my nephew so it will be a busy day!!
Enjoy your day 🥰

Hey guys!
I don’t have a video today as last week, I felt like I lived a lot of life! You know how it is! Some weeks are just busier than others and as the weather is still all over the place here in Ireland, trying to make my available time to film fit in with when it’s not raining can be a challenge 😂
I did film setting up my composter last weekend, so that will be in next week’s video and in the meantime, feel free to watch some of my many garden videos over the last couple of years!
Have a gorgeous day and see you guys next week 🌸🌺

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all well! I know I usually upload on a Sunday, but I uploaded my garden video earlier this week and it all worked out well because on Wednesday, my amazing sister Joanne gave birth to Sam! She and Will have longed for this baby for so long and while he wasn’t due until January 22nd, he had to come on Wednesday as Joanne developed an aggressive form of pre-eclampsia and it was safer for both of them this way 🥰
Both Mammy and baby Sam are doing well and because of this, Sam and I have the same birthday! So my plans to get a second video went out the door while we’ve been getting to grips with everything 🥰
I hope you guys have a wonderful week and I hope to have one last video up before Christmas 🥰

Happy Sunday everyone! Thank you so much for the lovely comments last week, I really appreciated them ❤️
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to film this week either and ended up back at my doctor who put me on stronger medications, which are starting to kick in and work, so once they do, and I have more energy, I’m hoping to be back filming for next Sunday 🥰
I bought a new camera lens and on the days where it wasn’t raining, I took it outside and got some close up shots from the garden. I love the photos so much and it’s helped me see the garden in a different way!
Have a wonderful week and hopefully see you next week!
