I got to go and see one of my favourite bands at the moment- Frankie and the Heartstrings in Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff and I had the best time ever and got to interview the band with my friend Emma.

I had a rare evening off from work this week so I decided to make pitta pizzas with my brother and have a DVD night in. The pizzas are easy to make and I was so lazy I didn't even make dough. All you need is some pitta bread, passata and your choice of toppings. I spread passata and a little bit of...

Blogging and taking photos can be very useful, I now know that I won't be wearing this dress again unless I find a better way of styling it. Too booby and the stripes do me no favours around my waist. It is a very pretty dress but it was only £7 in Primark and has an elasticated back, there isn't much structure in the dress so...

I've been blown away by the response to my last post, so many people have joined up to the Pen Pal Exchange. There are 30+ participants so far and you still have plenty of time to join up. I've got another work outfit post for you today. It's not a very smart look even though I'm a library assistant. The 'librarian chic' look...

New Zealand is a lovely country, it reminded me of Wales... but with better weather and volcanoes! I was really fortunate because I got to...

I was supposed to go out today because it's my day off but nobody wanted to do anything because the weather is so bad at the moment or because they have to see their boyfriend even thought they see them everyday. Not even this rainbow could cheer me up, the view from my room used to be amazing before they built lots of...

It's been a pretty busy week for me work wise so that means I've not been anywhere fun. I have tomorrow off but the weather in south Wales in awful so I don't think I will be able to go anywhere, maybe a museum or cinema trip would be a good idea. Anyway, here's my week in photos- I bought a copy of...

Another boring work outfit sorry! I have been working a lot in the uni library recently because a few staff have left and I'm doing extra shifts to help out. I've got a few fun things planned soon though like going to see Frankie and the Heartstrings and going to the cinema and for lunch with friends this weekend so hopefully I will...

I came across the fabulous Cardiff Arcades Project on twitter, I saw lots of people from Cardiff mention it so I thought I would check it out. It's a great photography project centred around the beautiful Victorian and Edwardian shopping arcades that are located in Cardiff’s city centre.
