KCLR's A Day In The Life

Vaiva Sim, owner of Vaiva Beauty Salon in Kilkenny, hails from Lithuania but chose to settle in Kilkenny at the age of 19. Now, over a decade on, she tells us about a typical day in the life of a makeup artist and beautician, along with how she came to live in Kilkenny, working various jobs, finding love, finding food, managing study and work and more.

A Day In The Life is supported by Coimisiún na Meán with the television license fee.

What is KCLR's A Day In The Life?

The clearest and most direct way to hear how someone lives their life is through their own words.

Each week, for ten weeks, we will represent a day in the life of a member of a particular immigrant or new Irish Community by broadcasting their audio diaries.
