Bikini Blunders..

so its that time of year again where everyone's new years resolutions are totally out of the window,  but now the summer season is fastly approaching everyone's thinking about their bikini bodies? yeaah?  im exactly the same!! the thought of swimwear shopping actually brings a lump to my throat and the thought of trying on bikinis for a day trying to find the "right one" at a reasonable price makes me want to cry in a corner and hibernate till winter!  if you dolls are anything like me you'll be thinking the exact same thing.  but on the weekend me and my two friends went to asda to get some food, and had a quick look in the clothes section... a quick look turning into 3 bikini tops 2 bra's and a takeaway chow mein!  

George @ Asda Swimwear!

i only bought 1 of the bikini's as i am super low on dollar at the moment and it was either another bikini or starve.. im a girl who loves her food so that problem was quickly solved!  anyhow, i picked up the purple polka dot bikini!  it looked totally different on the hanger so i was totally baffled when trying it on, took a couple of braincells to get there:)  but once it was on it was like heaven in a bikini!! yess, i had fun trying on bikini's!!!!! it fitted me perfect, even with my uber difficult size, ahaa. at £12 for the set £8 top, £4 bottoms i was not leaving it there, because it would be just my luck that i'd got back in a couple of weeks just before my holiday, and they won't have my size then we're back to square one!!

im loving the rest of the George at Asda swimwear range too!  i think the zebra print with turquoise detailing one is lovely :)  would definately say its for a smaller boobied woman, but i still looove it :)  my mammy also picked me up the purple and pink "floraly", "splashed" bikini today, although im not totally loving it yet! its not quite fitting as i hoped it would, but we'll see ayy! :)  any of you ladies got any secret tips on getting decent bikini body? or know anywhere nice that does reasonable bathers?

Much Love

Happy St. Davids Day!!

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St. Davids Day!  This year is possibly the first year in a few years where i've actually remotely celebrated this patriotic day *head held in shame* im such a proud welsh person, and love having our own day to celebrate our culture! but with deadlines in school and delayed eisteddfods, i often find myself celebrating a few days later.  but this year i made an effort! my friends little sister and her class performed a little folk dance this afternoon in Caerphilly town centre, so we went have a watch.  Little kids are just soooo cute!! and you cant have St. David's Day without a good old welsh cake, especially when you have an amazing welsh cake shop at the top of town, definitely worth a try if your ever near!

Catch Up!

i have only just realised how appalling my blog upkeep has been this week! i've been so busy with one thing or another, and also i don't feel like i've had anything to blog about! strange. i don't know if i told you guys, but i had an interview in falmouth last friday, and absolutely fell in love with the place! its so pretty and the university is amazing!  i felt that my interview went well, but you never know.. and some of the girls i got chatting to were so lovely, which made my day even more amazing!  


i had a serious case of monday blues at the beginning of the week, i received an unsuccessful from UWE Bristol and my prep work seemed to be at a bit of a brick wall!, so myself and a friend made some cupcakes and watched The Time Travellers wife to de-stress a bit and cheer up :) must say, we make amaaazing cakes! might have to show you guys how i made them :)  tuesday, i still wasn't myself. i think i kind of lost a tonne of confidence in myself and lost any faith in getting a place in falmouth, after get my 2nd rejection! but 5:00pm came and BAM "UCASTrack- ucas application status notification" popped up on hotmail.  i dont think i breathed for a good 10 seconds.. but i eventually plucked up the courage to check my UCAS Track.. IM INNNNNNN!!! IM GOING TO FALMOUTH!!!!!!!! im still buzzing at the thought of going in september, im soo excited!!:D:D:D              

Sorry for the shoddy images, they're off my phone.

Much Love
