22nd Birthday - What I Got!

Helloo,

I thought I would share with you what I got for my 22nd birthday which now was very almost a month ago - whoops! Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat due to the summer holidays and my wifi not working but finally back to normality. I had a great birthday, just a relaxed day and yummy meal with the family before heading out with the girls into town. I suffered from my first ever hangover, it was not nice. But the night was worth it! Then a long drive to Wales on the Monday to get away for a few days which was just absolutely lush - read about that here :) I've included some bits that were picked up there too as just had to share the cuteness of some of it! 

BIRTHDAY 

I forgot two of my main presents, a new camera and a gorgeous Fiorelli handbag :) I am sure they will make an appearance on the blog soon! Plus I received money to do my own bits of shopping :)

This 'Peachy Keen' scent is incredible! I'm obsessed with bath and shower things, I just love the smells.

WALES

These are some bits that Corey picked up with his money, of course all Avenger theme and he also got a few bits of clothes and a Captain America costume complete with shield!! :) Found a new love for ASDA clothing! 

Below are the most comfiest and cutest pyjamas ever, from Primark!

So there you have it - some of the bits I got for my birthday and picked up in Wales :) Is there anything here that caught your eye that you like the look of? Or what is at the top of your wishlist?

Love, Gemma xo

Family Trip To South Wales

Helloo,

I'm finally back with another post and it's yet another little getaway. I spent last week in Wales with Corey and my mum. We stayed in Llannelli, South Wales. I took so many (what I think are) lovely pictures and just had to share. 

**warning - picture heavy post** 

CENTRAL LLANELLI

We stayed in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire which is South Wales, around half hour from Swansea. Close to where my mum grew up for a good like 10 years of her childhood. We stayed in good old Travelodge - sharing a room with a snoring naughty 4 year old is not much fun!! They didn't have a restaurant though which was quite gutted about not being able to have their yummy breakfasts. Took a few snaps of the main high street, Corey and a yummy Hungry Horse dessert..

MUMBLES PIER, SWANSEA

A lovely little Pier situated in a little part of Swansea. It was absolutely beautiful, even though the day started off rainy but the sun came out eventually. They were in the middle of doing the whole pier up, the lifeboat tower, amusements and restaurant had clearly been done up but the pier itself was all railed up and in the process still. We got there in time to watch them launch the lifeboat which was really quite cool, something a bit different - Corey loved it besides the loud noises! We then headed the little beautiful restaurant where they served great food and had a grand piano that played itself which was fascinating for both Corey and I. Will be great to go back one day and see the rest of the pier finished as really was beautiful :)

MILLENNIUM COASTAL PARK, LLANELLI

I would say this is like a bit of a beach, and it is but without the sand. A lovely place to walk down if you get the weather on a good day. People were sailing, flying kites and walking dogs. Really was just a lovely little place, Corey will be able to ride his bike down here next time which will be really lovely :)

FFOS LAS HORSE RACING, CARMARTHENSHIRE

Nearby was a lovely race course, where they hold events every so often. We were lucky when visiting that they had a family day out kind of event. I admit the family bit was a bit of a push, they had like one bouncy castle and that was it. But non the less a lovely day out, I absolutely love horse racing and so does my mum. Corey got to see the horses doing their rounds before the races and we were standing right at the finish line for every race :)

.......................

So there you have it, our little family trip to Wales - a lovely week away :) Look forward to going back again and my next stop will be to visit Cardiff!! 

Have you been to Wales before? What is your favourite place? :)

Half Term Shenanigans #3

Helloo,

Well here is another dose of what we have been up too this half term. I'm a bit late on this because well I forgot - whoops! Least this time it isn't spent with Chicken Pox like Easter (read here for that!).

What did you get up too over the half term? Luckily there was some decent weather for it most of the time :)

Love, Gemma xo
