Cardiff has always been one of my favourite UK cities. Ever since my uni days, I have felt a real affinity with the city. There is always something going on in Cardiff - but it doesn't feel overcrowded and busy. There are so many coffee shops and beautiful parks and hidden passageways running through the centre to explore. And the city really comes alive in the autumn time. Maybe it is the influx of new students coming to the city to study each September or maybe it is me projecting my own ...
A Local’s Guide To Visiting Cardiff
My Top 10 British Staycation Destinations (Pt 1)
I was introduced to the concept of the 'staycation' at a very young age. My parents much preferred exploring the UK over travelling abroad so most of my childhood summers were spent hiding in tents from freak hailstorms, going gooey-eyed over Cornish boys working in fudge shops, and making up 101 excuses for not joining in with the on-site holiday park entertainment. And I loved it. Devon and Cornwall were our usual destinations of choice and it really opened up my eyes to the wealth of things ...
Celebrating Father’s Day With Moonpig
[gifted ad] When it comes to Father's Day, I am usually lost for what to buy. I think men are notoriously difficult to buy for and I always feel like the gifts I lump for are a bit impersonal - usually a liquorice-based cop-out, if you will. But that all changed when I started using Moonpig. When I moved abroad to Germany, I originally used it to send birthday cards and gifts to family back home in the UK without having to deal with the nightmare that is international delivery systems. And ...
Small Ways To Refresh Your Home On A Budget
When we first went into lockdown, I had this whole positive mindset. I had big plans of how I would utilise this time and be really productive. Reader, I have not been productive. We are now on week 7 (I think??) and I have been for a run like three times. I have only written two blog posts this whole time. Hell, the only thing I have achieved is breaking my previous records of how many biscuits I can eat in one sitting and how many consecutive hours CBeebies can play for. Saying that though, ...
How To Be More Eco-Friendly As A Small Business [AD]
When you start a new business, 101 different thoughts go through your mind. Will people buy your products? What should your logo look like? Where can I buy my supplies from? How do taxes even work? But one of the questions that maybe isn't always at the forefront of your mind when you start a business is how you can be as eco-conscious as possible. Personally, I quickly aligned 'eco' with 'expensive' when I was starting up. I originally intended to work with epoxy resin (which in itself is not ...
You Don’t Have To Be Productive Right Now
We are living in an unprecedented time. Most of us have never had this amount of free time at our disposal. And the temptation to put together a huge bucket list of things you want to achieve whilst you're home can be overwhelming. Every time I look on social media, I see people posting their rigorous schedules and goals of things they aim to do over the next month or so. And, in all honesty, it sometimes makes me feel a little inadequate - especially as my greatest achievement so far is ...
