Unveiled with Niamh and Nessa

Going barefoot might be the latest trend in Hollywood but you won't catch Nessa slipping her shoes off for a walk around Dublin anytime soon. The supposed health benefits could be enough to convince Niamh to join the barefoot brigade, and she already has experience kicking off her heels at the end of a night out as she waited for a taxi on Dawson Street. The girls also chat about the importance of the right shoes for a marathon, despite Nessa’s absolute refusal to run any long distance.

Niamh and Nessa may be in relationships now, but that doesn't mean they are immune to the perils of modern dating. They ask if sober dates are the way forward, or maybe a trip on the Viking Splash Tour would suit Nessa better? They also chat about the need to keep a relationship fresh with date nights and the societal pressure to find your 'other half'.

Niamh's revelation that she bought a gold strap for her smart watch so she can wear it on nights out leaves Nessa horrified and questioning their friendship. But, at least her heart monitor is kept strictly in the gym! The girls chat about their obsession with fitness trackers - Be that constantly checking your sleep hours or feeling like you didn't exercise at all if you didn't track the workout, and there's also talk of the wellness technologies Niamh doesn't trust, not to mention the results of Nessa's recent food intolerance test.

Nessa reveals some shocking news - She has finally braved the cool waters of Portmarnock beach and might even be convinced to do it again! Although, she's not fully on board with the trendy sauna's appearing along the Irish coast. True to form, Niamh is a big fan, though some of her steam room stories spark a conversation on bad behaviour in spas, and the need for some people, Niamh and Nessa included, to put their phones away.

Niamh recalls her time spent playing sports during her younger years and wonders why she along with so many other girls give up sports in their teenage years. Nessa unsurprisingly did not play sports and is unapologetically disinterested, although she can see some upsides beyond the obvious fitness benefits. Get in touch on [email protected]!
