If you’d told me as a teenage Steps fan that I’d one day be watching H sing Tragedy on stage at the Swansea Grand Theatre pantomime, I never would have believed you. But there he was, last Friday night starring in Cinderella with half the audience on their feet joining in with the dance moves. Read More
*we were very kindly invited to Fforestfach Retail Parc to take part in this challenge. The items were gifted, but chosen by us* Does anyone else feel like Christmas shopping can be a bit overwhelming? I love it, don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing better than browsing the shops when it’s all festive – Read More
I don’t know about you, but I tend to chop and change beauty products quite a lot, and never stick with them long enough to see the benefits. I read about a “miracle product”, buy it and give up after a week because it hasn’t got rid of my dark circles, wrinkles, or made my skin Read More

We’d been invited to watch Monster Jam at Cardiff Principality Stadium, and to be completely honest I had no idea Read More
Looking for ways to entertain a nearly four-year-old on a long haul flight was pretty daunting, but we made sure we were well equipped with books, games and toys for the eight-and-a-half hour journey to Barbados. As part of our bag of tricks was a Leapfrog Leapstart system, which we were hoping would keep him Read More
To say my first few weeks of following a food and exercise plan set by a personal trainer was a complete success would be a lie. But then again, it wouldn’t be fair to say I failed either. Let’s go with it being a time of change. If you missed my last post, I’ve taken Read More
