One to Read – Delalicious – A Full Plate for a Full Life, Sinead Delahunty

Juggling a full-time job as a physiotherapist with a Gaelic football career and a food blog, Sinéad understands the pitfalls of being under time pressure.

Love the Skin You’re In: Be Body Confident this Summer
Its summer (and it really is this year!) so the sun is out, and so are some bits of our bodies that are kept under wraps for most of the year. This should be cause for celebration – a great chance to get a bit of colour and vitamin D – but instead it’s often a time for our body insecurities to go into over-drive. Why? Because we live in a society where we are encouraged not to like ourselves, to want to look different and to pay a lot of money to do so. Our body confidence is being stripped away on a daily basis by unattainable images of body ‘perfection’ but this year team IHS want you to do things differently. We want you to put your beautiful and unique body into your favourite summer outfits and go and enjoy yourself/make memories –remembering that body confidence does not come from your figure, it comes from your mind. Is this self-acceptance hard? Yes. But it can be done and we are here to help with a few tips from 3 entirely differently shaped, perfectly imperfect members of team IHS who have all found different ways to love the skin they’re in.
Meet the IHS Team
A college is nothing without the team behind it. From the academic staff to everyone in administration and operations, each individual has their role to play in ensuring the best possible student experience. We are grateful everyday for the amazing team we have built at IHS and we thought you might like to get to know them a bit better. So we’ll be speaking to an IHS team member every month asking them a bit about what they do at IHS, how they got into the health and wellness industry and why they think you should be embarking on a career in this exciting field.
