The person Robert. My boyfriend and best friend, an absolute gent. We have been together for almost 11 years I have no idea where 11 years have gone to. It is just like yesterday we went on our first date to his school Debs The memory My godson Rocco being born. The most beautiful, pure little boy in the entire world. I never even knew it was possible to love a human this way. He is six now. I remember him being born and I went to see him straight from an Arnotts show. I had two massive buns on the side of my head and crazy pink make-up. The nurses must have thought I was a crazy person The moment of the day Walking out of the gym. That feeling when you finish a tough training session. I have a love/hate relationsh­ip with training, I am not always in the mood but I always just get it done. You will never leave a training session feeling worse than you felt when you went in! The song Anything by Kanye West. I love him. When I train I love to listen to heavy gangster rap music; it gets me going. Its pushes me that little bit harder. Loving Blood on the Leaves and New Slaves at the minute from his Yeezus album The movie Crash. My favourite films are thrillers. I also love anything with Denzel Washington — he is my favourite actor of all time. I am pretty sure I have seen American Gangster about 20 times. The soundtrack is sick The hero That has to be my mam. She has overcome more than words could possibly say. I know everybody says this but my mam really is my hero. She still thinks I am a baby; every time I go home she always feeds me. She just can’t help but want to look after me The book The Secret. Anybody who has read this book usually changes their outlook on life. I am not a big reader as I lose concentrat­ion very quickly, but I love the concept of this The outfit Most of the time I live in gym gear. I usually make it all black and throw on a leather jacket. That makes it daytime wearable! Kind of. If I am not in gym gear I will definitely be in something comfortabl­e. Comfort is key The accessory My Great Lengths Hair Extensions. I have had them for about two years now and I couldn’t be without them The gadget My phone. When I was on the catwalk2 Kilimanjar­o charity climb, we were without our phones for a week and it was really nice. We spend so much time with our head in our phones now that it is actually really sad. We have a no-phone policy in our house at nighttime The pet hate Lack of manners. I really just don’t get it. My sister and I were taught manners from a very early age and I can not stand people who don’t have any. Manners cost nothing The friend My sister. We are like chalk and cheese but she is always there when it matters. It’s only ever been the two of us and we have always had completely different personalit­ies. I was such a tomboy when I was a kid and loved my Irish dancing. Sarah just didn’t really care about anything, so laid back. She was always such a messer The beauty product Lash extensions by Pamela Laird at the Beauty Parlour in Terenure. I also love ClearSkin Skin and Laser Clinic in Sandyford The holiday Las Vegas. I am lucky enough to travel quite a bit but I always seem to go back there. I have made some of my best memories there over the years. I also really love Dubai. It would probably be the one place I would consider moving to Be yourself. I have always just been myself and the older I get the less I care about what people think of me. I really don’t care anymore. The less you care, the happier you will be. Trust me The drink Elderflowe­r Mojito The hotel Grosvenor House, Dubai. Robert recently surprised me with a trip to Dubai for my birthday and it was my favourite hotel ever The bar Capitol Bar, South Great Georges Street, Dublin. These guys do the best cocktails ever. Great for a girls night out of even just a quiet one or two. There is always a really nice vibe here, I especially love it on a Sunday when it isn’t too crowded The hobby Boxing. I often question my sanity walking through the doors because I know how tough it is going to be, but you feel so good afterwards The part of my body Depending on the day. I do quite like my stomach because it is really hard to get any form of definition, but when I do it is really a reward of my hard work. I’m never going to tell you what parts I dislike because then you will look, ha ha. No, just kidding — this just really depends on my mood. Sometimes I’m feeling myself, sometimes I’m not The celebrity The Beckhams. The perfect family? Possibly. I just love how much David and Victoria seem to love to each other and how they still seem to have the crack even after all these years The virtue Acceptance, appreciati­on and gratitude. Never expect and always be grateful for everything Chocolate. I’m talking the good stuff! Kinder Buenos, Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream. I try to stick to dark chocolate, but sometimes you have to treat yourself Freshly washed bedsheets. Is there any better feeling than getting into a fresh bed after a shower at night? The taste Chocolate. Like all day, every day. Honestly, I think I am addicted. I need to control myself every single day. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have a piece of chocolate
