My Shangri-La Outfit

On Wednesday night (25th Feb) me and some friends went to Shangri-La at Glam, Cardiff. Shangri-La, in their own words, is Cardiff and Liverpool's finest student night hosting only the best house DJs.

This one was host to Secondcity, best-known for 'I Wanna Feel', along with other DJs. They gave us all an amazing night of brilliant house music along with such a great atmosphere! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

For this post, I would like to share my chosen outfit for this event. During the day (Wed), me and the girls I went with popped to town. I took this as an opportunity to pick up some new pieces for the night. It's such a nice feeling getting ready for a night out and putting on brand new clothes:

 

 

Firstly, I decided that because it was a house night and girls don't tend to wear heels, that I'd dress in more of a nice, casual (ish) style. I knew I wanted to wear my converse so my outfit was designed around them really.

Outfit of the Day

There is a famous quote by Coco Chanel that I love (pictured). When I'm not in the mood to make an effort, I remember this quote and it makes me think, you could meet anyone, anywhere and at anytime and you might just want to look great. There are always reasons to make an effort <3
 

 

Be it smart or casual, daytime or evening, everyone has their own style that looks nice and suits them.

How To: Nandos Chicken Wraps

For those of you who love Nandos, but cannot justify eating there often, I have the solution.

Nandos flavoured chicken wraps!

I am a lover of good food and enjoy cooking so when I learn something new that works, I like to share it. Me and my boyfriend love Nandos, but being students on a budget, we don't go too often.

We decided a while ago to try the Nandos sauce range in the supermarkets and, although it isn't the same when we cook with them, it still always tastes great.
The other day my boyfriend wanted to try wraps to see if he'd like them, and what better to try them with than chicken marinated in Nandos sauce! The wraps turned out to be so delicious, and even he - the fussiest eater ever - enjoyed them and we've had them again since. Result!

Here are the steps to take to create these easy but yummy wraps for yourself:

1) Chop a chicken breast into small chunks or strips and marinade in your flavour choice of Nandos marinades (we use medium). Cover with cling film and put in the fridge for at least 6 hours. It may be best to chop and marinade your chicken the night before and leave in the fridge overnight until ready to use the next day.

Valentine's Day: The Glee Comedy Club, Cardiff

[apologies for the bad quality images, the glee club lighting is awful for taking photos]

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 years now and we usually do the stereotypical Valentine's Day activities - Cinema, Restaurant, Home-cooked meal. This year, for our 6th Valentine's Day we wanted to change it up and try something new.

We are living together in Cardiff so started looking at what's on in and around the area on the 14th. Something that we thought about was The Glee Comedy Club, Cardiff.

We had never been before but both of us love comedy, and we both also love eating out. The Glee Club offered food and entertainment under one roof so we thought it would be a perfect way to spend Valentine's evening; and it was!

When we arrived the queue was out the door, but I heard one man say he'd never seen it so busy so I assumed from this that it is usually straight up the stairs and into the venue.

Quick and Easy Hair Style

When getting ready for a night out, my hair usually takes ages. I like to curl my hair to give it more volume and bounce as it is quite thin and hard to get a full effect.

 Last night, I went on a casual night out and didn't want to be getting ready for ages. Instead of my usual routine for curling, I decided I would go for a beachy wave effect. It is quick, easy and looks nice for a casual night or even for the day.

To get this same effect, here

Time to Unwind

Every girl needs her down time, especially after a long or busy day. Here are a few tips for the perfect way to chill out and completely unwind.

Being in my final year of university, I know how it feels to be constantly stressed and feeling like the work load is never ending! Also, the stress of worrying what I'll be doing when I've finally graduated haunts me on a daily basis at the moment.
So after a hectic day I love to carry out my little routine to wind down, clear my mind and just have time to myself.

The first thing I like to do is light my candles. I absolutely love scented candles, and over time I've found that
many of them smell lovely in the shop but as soon as they're lit, they don't let off much scent. However, a while ago I was introduced to Yankee candles, and I'm glad I tried them! I know they can be quite pricey for the size, but they smell gorgeous on the shop shelf and continue to smell gorgeous once they are home and lit!

My favourite scent at the moment is

Beauty in Pink

A few of the best pink products Avon has to offer <3

Winter is known for the burgundies, dark blues, browns, and on the odd occasion white like the glistening snow. However, with spring just around the corner I thought I'd share what Avon has to offer in one of the best colours of all - Pink!
 

Pink is such a warm yet brightening colour and we all know most of you girls love a bit of pink.

So here are some options to brighten up your beauty box:


Firstly, I must mention Avon's Gel nail varnishes. They are brilliant! Now, I know as much as the next girl how annoying it is when
