Smiles and Frowns
By MATT MOONEY Last Jan I had my first real experience of what I have come to call the “American Extra Mile”. What I talk of is the service culture that is ingrained in most U.S. businesses/ companies/brands. It will always impress European visitors to this country and has always been a talking point since before I even moved here. I always find that it makes my shopping experience a thoroughly...

The Pursuit of Happiness
By RONAI STREATER In kindergarten, my dream job was to be a veterinarian. Then somehow it became a teacher. And shortly after that it was an astronaut. My career aspirations as a minor changed with each new pair of Converse. For some odd reason, ridding all the little doggies of sickness is only a small part of what veterinarians actually do – and who knew that astronauts were truly interested...

How Fashion Won My Soul
By GERARDINE PERALTA
When you hear the word “fashion”, what’s the first thing you think of?
“Glamour?”
“Clothes?”
“Over-priced?”
Or even:
“Outrageous?”

Ireland has...
