Home Improvement Hero - £50 challenge

By Gem - 10:28:00
I (me and my family) have been renovating our home for over year now and it is close to completion. I've posted some before and after photos on the blog before and the transformation is pretty amazing if I say so myself. The interior is pretty much finished and we have added lots of decorative pieces to make it feel like a home....

Pettigrew Tea Rooms and Shellys Shoes

By Gem - 11:03:00
After a crazy weekend I had a few lazy days off work to enjoy and tried to make the most of the good weather by heading into Cardiff for a spot of tea and shopping. I bought my friend Sarah (the one I go to Torquay with) a voucher for afternoon tea at Pettigrew Tea Rooms for her birthday. I always try and...

Birthday Dress Wishlist

By Gem - 15:33:00
I'm right in the middle of a major dress dilemma. I want some dresses for my birthday weekend but I'm not sure if I want something summery because my birthday is in August or something more practical which will take me through to Autumn. I think I'm being swayed by all the lovely dresses in the sales at the moment and can't focus ...

By Gem - 18:49:00
I'm currently sat in my PJs, drinking tea (so glam) and having a relaxing day off. It's lovely to just catch up on some blog reading, hang out with the family and tidy my room after a manic weekend. I had been looking forward to this weekend for ages because my French friends finished their masters in Cardiff last year and were all...

Growing up

By Gem - 10:54:00
I'm 25, soon to be 26 and I really don't feel very grown up at all. Lots of friends are announcing engagements, have mortgages and even babies. I buy dresses, live a student lifestyle and can barely look after myself and my dog... I do have a proper grown up job but my mum still does my ironing. I should be doing my...

By Gem - 13:04:00
I spent a lovely weekend with Sarah - A Million Dresses (eating her out of house and home) along with some of our other friends and had the most wonderful time. I'm sorry for all the tweets and instagram updates about food all weekend, you have probably had more than enough of my snaps but I have an outfit post for you and...

Be Positive

By Gem - 14:55:00

Why not try one of the following points or make up one of your own for a easy way of adding a little positivity to your...
