Hey everyone! So, this is my first post of 2020 and my first post in absolutely ages...

Last month, a group of us went away for my dad's 50th to Guia in Portugal. Whilst I expect I probably look paler now than I did before I went, it was great to escape to a villa that was basking in sunshine for the whole week! Alongside my close family were my stepfamily, one … Continue reading Coffee Stop: Pop Shop Albufeira
