Apologies for the slightly grumpy post on Wednesday. I was in such a blah mood, feeling really sorry for myself. Yesterday was much better though, I went for a four (and a bit!) mile walk, then hopped on the Wii…

A quick little update about Race for Life. I did it! Sadly because I was feeling properly gross, I only walked it, but still did it in an hour. I’m procrastinating from writing about the day at the moment, but…
If you’re in Bristol this weekend, and looking for something to do, why not check out the Topshop Bandstand Picnic on Sunday? On the 13th June, Castle Park Bandstand in Broadmead will be taken over by Topshop with sports day games,…
Whilst it is rare to find a drive thru cinema in the UK (boo!), we do have some outdoor screens this month in Bristol. Firstly, theres the giant screen being constructed in Queens Square just in time to show the…
After all the commotion over my personal shoppers at House of Fraser post, the Bristol store offered me a VIP Experience, which I accepted because it sounded like fun! I was given spa treatments, a manicure and a meal for…
Toffee something by dichohecho Cupcakes. Every girl blogger just loves cupcakes, right? Whenever you read a blog about any sort of blogger gathering, its sure to mention the cute cupcakes that were consumed. Enough already! Cupcakes are fashionable at the…
