Irby did a "50 Questions" interview with Husskie. One thing she was asked is what her favorite beauty product is. "Kencay Body Moisturiser," she answered. "Seriously, I can't live without it. It's not even a beauty product, really, but I have suffered from eczema my entire life and it's the only moisturising product that provides relief and cures any flare-ups. It's a lifesaver!"

Irby opened up about her career to LustMinerals.com. She says that she wants Moana Bikini to empower other women. "I'm all about making women feel confident and carefree in the skin they're in," she says. "No matter their size, shape or perceived 'flaws' – and I am more than happy to do this by making a fool of myself along the way!"

Irby gave some career advice in her Lust Minerals interview. She advises people to go after what they want. "Don't do it for profits. Don't do it for the image. Don't do it because someone told you to. Don't do it just because you don't like working for someone else. There are going to be incredibly long hours, soul-destroying hurdles and long periods of time before, or during which, you might not turn a profit. If you aren't personally and internally motivated, then you won't make it through these struggles.  Find a problem that you, personally, want to solve, or a gap in the market that you, personally, have experienced… and go and solve it, for you!"

Irby revealed some of her wellness secrets to You Queen. She says that she makes sure to eat healthy. "I try to eat well," she says. Irby says that her diet is, "Lean meats, fruits & veggies!" Irby also says that she indulges from time to time. "I do have a sweet tooth! So I train, to eat the chocolate too ;-)."

When You Queen asked Irby what she wants in a partner, she answered, "Support. I have a very busy, intense lifestyle, especially at the moment, so having the knowledge that my partner will be there for me and help me through any problems I have – whether work or personal – is a huge thing for me. It might be opening a jam jar, or it might be a huge business proposal, but having someone you love and trust behind you and supporting you makes the world of difference."
