I'm Niamh, 23 years old, living in Dublin.
Times are tough, as we all know, and living on Jobseeker's Benefit has really affected my confidence. The longer you are on it, the harder it gets to believe you can get out and get a great job.
I came back from living in Toronto, Canada eight months ago, and have been unemployed ever since.
Clothes, jewellery and make-up have made up a lot of my 'happy place' since I came back. Although I do not have the cash to spend as much as I'd like, I've been doing pretty ok.
I've been able to buy myself some things, save a little and pay towards my upkeep in my parent's house, all on a measly €121 per week.
I'm hoping here, that, as well as cataloging everything I already have, I can keep myself inspired to keep looking for work, to build up my confidence and maybe drive my determination to even drop some pounds!
Stay tuned, whoever you are. And thank you for reading!
Much love!
Niamh
