30 Day Snap #17 | Woaahhhh It's So Bright!

I recently picked up this amazing new nail varnish from the 'Kelly Brook' range in New Look. It's called 'Neon Boom' and it's a bright neon orange. Sadly the lighting in this picture makes it look pink and doesn't do it any justice, but it is honestly the brightest, summery colour ever! A classic Kelly Brook style. I love it and can't wait to buy more from this range!

30 Day Snap #16 | Happy Fathers Day!

Whether it's Fathers Day, Birthday or Christmas, my Dad is very difficult to buy for. But there is one thing that he loves and that's chocolate. So when my sister found one of these online, we knew we had to make one of our own for him. We got out creative heads together and this is what we came up with! He wants a new DSLR, but as it's his birthday is next month, he'll just have to wait till then. However, he's now  got it in writing now, so he won't let us forget! Overall he was very impressed and absolutely loved it. My sisters rabbit, Lola, even managed to feature in this too!

What did you get your dad anything special today?

30 Day Snap #15 | Morning Relaxation

Why rush around to do things on a Saturday morning when you can relax and enjoy the smell of beautiful candles. I have become a bit of a candle lover recently and one of my favourites is this Fairy Dust Candle By Lily-Flame. The best and only way I can come to describe it is that I has a slightly soapy smell? But even then I'm not sure. It's a lovely smelling candle anyway and defiantly one I'd recommend if you're a candle lover. The company also do many other candles, which all smell great too!

30 Day Snap #14 | Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head...

One minute it's bright sunshine and the next it looks like this! Where has our summer gone?! I think the rain is the way to sum up today so far, so when the sky decided to give us the next dose of the wet stuff along with a few scary rumbles of thunder, I quickly grabbed my camera and sat on the front doorstep snapping away and managed to get these two shots...

30 Day Snap #13 | Back To Work

Is there a record for the fastest ever written blog post? Well if there is, I've just broken it! After having a busy day I'm back off to work tonight. After having several weeks off, I'm actually looking forward to going back, I've missed watching shows every night...

30 Day Snap #12 | 'Sugar-and-spice...? And all things nice'

I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to reading plays and watching theatre shows, I just love it. (I'm lucky enough to have it as part of my job!) Today I picked up a copy of My Mother Said I Never Should by Charlotte Keatley. I've heard a lot about this play from friends and I understand its about four young girls from different generations that come up with a plan to kill their mothers. The title of this posts is one of the opening lines from the play. It seems very mysterious and intriguing and can't wait to give it a read tonight whilst snuggled up in bead with a lovely cuppa!

30 Day Snap #11 | The Art of Doing Nothing

Today my ears were greeted by one of the most amazing sounding albums in the whole world! Mark Owen has always been an huge idol of mine, I love all his previous albums and having had The Art of Doing Nothing on pre-order for a very long time, I'm so happy to finally be able to listen to it in full (after listening to the iTunes previews for weeks on end!!). I'm honestly blown away by the pure brilliance of this album and it's been on repeat ever since it landed on my doorstep this morning. Well done Markie, I love you!

30 Day Snap #10 | Getting Ready For Summer

It's all about getting that summer body! And so today I turned to gradual tanning. Garnier Summer Body is my go-to product when it comes to tanning as I'm no good when it goes to fake tan. It's such a reliable product, you can control how much you want, where you want it and overall I think its far easier to apply than fake tan. My new skin care routine now features Nivea's 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner. I'm loving this product so far, it makes your face feel silky smooth and removes any traces of make-up.

30 Day Snap #7 #8 #9 | Cardiff Weekend Away

Over the weekend I visited Cardiff for a bit of time away. I was unable to post days 7, 8 and 9 due to being away which is why I'm posting them now. So here we go...

On the Friday I visited Cardiff city centre and what a beautiful city it is. I had never been before and so was very excited to visit the Wales Millennium Centre which is pictured above on the left. On the right had side it reads 'In these stones horizons sing' and it reads the same on the left had side but in Welsh. One the right is a picture of me outside the church where writer Roald Dahl was christened featuring my OOTD - Black Bodycon Dress (New Look), Leather jacket (Bank), Scarf (Primark), Sandels (New Look), Bag (New Look) and Necklace (Dorothy Perkins). I loved this outift, it's perfect for a casual day out in the sun (but as you can see from the photograph, it was a little windy) and its so easy to style for a night out too!

Saturday was another beautiful, sunny day and it was spent in Barry Island (Where Gavin & Stacey was filmed). Here I had, as it says on the pot, the most delicious ice cream from Marco's Coffee & Ice Cream Bar - this was Stacey's workplace during Gavin & Stacey!

. I got the Toffee Fudge flavour with a cheeky flake on top too, it was lovely.

It was back to Cardiff for the final day. It was a sight seeing day where I visited Cardiff Stadium, the castle and of course the local shops. Whilst walking to the castle through on of the back streets I spotted this amazing graffiti, depending on what it is and how its designed, I'm not always a fan of graffiti, but I loved this purely on the basis that the skill and detail that had gone into this work was incredible!

I had such a lovely weekend away, it was so nice to get away from everything and spend time doing whatever I wanted to, it was so enjoyable.

30 Day Snap #6 | Packing, Packing and More Packing...

Tomorrow I'm off to Cardiff for three days and so today was a busy packing day. This weekend has been planned for a very long time and so you can imagine how happy I am that its finally come around! I honestly can't wait to get away for a while, enjoy seeing the sights and of course, do some well earnt relaxing in the spa and pool.

Being away though does mean that I wont be able to post 30 Day Snaps #7, #8 and #9. But I'll be sure to get lots of photographs and post them on the Monday along with #10!

30 Day Snap #5 | Andddd... relax

It's been a very busy and stressful day, so I took to relaxing with a cup of tea (yes that is Robbie Williams and Take That on my mug!), a messy chocolate muffin and one very cosy blanket. Bliss!

30 Day Snap #4 | 7 Ways

It was another day outside in the sun for me but today I was accompanied by Jamie Sheerman's voice and his guitar. I met Jamie at my workplace during Pantomime season where he played Stinky in Dick Whittington and this was before I knew how much of a good singer he was. He recently uploaded a new song to his YouTube Channel called '7 Ways' which is one of the many songs he has written himself. I love it, it's such a beautiful song and a perfect one to enjoy in the sunshine!

30 Day Snap #2 and #3 | Sunshine

Day 2 and 3 I have decided to combine and both were spent out enjoying the beautiful weather we're having at the moment but also admiring the stunning flowers that are out in full bloom. Just like the picture of these Dicentra (Bleeding Hearts) that I took, they have to be one of my favourite flowers, I love them.

30 Day Snap #1 | Home

After not blogging for a while, I thought I might take on the 30 Day Snap challenge to get me blogging every day this month! The 30 Day Snap challenge involves taking a picture and writing a short blog everyday of the month to sum of your day and to let others know what you're up to. Being pretty new at blogging, this is all new to me and something I haven't done before. But being a lover of photography and now blogging, I'm sure i'm going to enjoy this! 

Today was simply a day at home for me and I have to be honest, it's one of my favourite places to be. It's where I'm able to relax and do whatever I want, it's my personal space and I love it. The weather was also beautiful, which was another bonus and what a way to start off June - I can't quite believe we're half way through the year already!
