Shit People Say...

As I sit here on a sticky summer evening, I find myself a little clueless on what to blog about.

I think the weekend must have zapped out all my energy and seeing as there's nothing good on TV I've resorted to YouTube to give me some lolz.

The Way I Feel About Cardiff... in GIFs

Happy Easter all… for the bank holiday weekend I plan on visiting the most amazing, spectacular country in the whole world….

Wales.

No, I’m not being sarcastic; I seriously love it. Yes it is my hometown but I’m sure I would love the place even if I wasn’t born and bred there.

I love the sense of community Wales has to offer, the gorgeous scenic views of the Valleys, (by the way the MTV show The Valley’s is not a good representation of that) and the sheer friendliness of welsh people, which I never truly appreciated until I packed my bags for the big smoke two years ago. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I still get homesick sometimes (even though I’m 25!) so I thought I would cast my mind back to some good ol’ memories I have of Cardiff and present them in GIF-form. From match-days to night’s out on the town, take a look though and let me know if you can relate to my feelings!

5 Ways To Get Yourself Into The Christmas Spirit!

I love, love, love Christmas! It’s a time for being with the people who you love most in the world, being selfless by offering gifts AND it’s socially acceptable to eat chocolates in the morning and drink early on in the afternoon! What’s not to love? Yes, indeed for me it is the most wonderful time of the year. In an attempt to fully soak up the festive season I’ve decided to try and do something Christmassy each day. If you’re also looking for ways on how to add a bit of merriment to your days in December then check out my how-to guide below for tips on how to jingle all the way!

Your Strictly Non-Tourist Guide To Paris!

Last weekend I took a little weekend trip to Paris. My Dutch friend moved there about 5 months ago for work and invited me over to experience ‘real Paris’. Intrigued, I fantasised about gorging on pastries and baguettes, refining my French and sunbathing in the last bits of summer’s hot weather. Before I knew it I was on the Eurostar bopping along to MC Solaar’s ‘La Belle Et Le Bad Boy’ and adjusting my iPhone weather location to Paris. Thinking about visiting the city sometime soon? If you’re looking for quality restaurants, hidden cocktail bars and trendy areas check out what I got up to on my mini-excursion.
