My name is Sophie, I am 21 years of age and I live in Bristol, England. I moved here in September 2012 with my boyfriend of 3 years to start a new life after leaving home and graduating from University with a Religious Studies degree.
I am originally from Swansea in Wales. I miss home desperately, but I am really enjoying my new life in Bristol, where I have met an array of fantastic people, and I am just beginning to build my new life and home.
This is me and my wonderful boyfriend in Barcelona last summer.

I am currently working in a job which has limited opportunities, terrible pay and not such a great atmosphere. But what I am taking from this are fantastic friends, who are the first I've made in Bristol so far. As we all know, the economic climate makes for a struggle to find a good job, so I am extremely lucky to be employed and working 37.5 hours a week to keep me in my flat and treating myself to the things I love, not to mention feeding myself.
For me, this blog is a new challenge. I have always enjoyed sharing my interests, passions and thoughts with other people, and documenting pictures of the things I love. What better way than to put it all in a blog? I'd like to write about lifestyle, beauty products & tips that I have acquired from various inspirational people in my life.
I may not have an awful lot of time to play with, but this is something I'd like to focus on outside of work.
So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. And if you have stumbled across this as a blogger yourself, say hello! I'd love a few tips to get me going as a new blogger.
Take care,
- S
PS. If you were wondering about my blog title, 'Cariad', it is Welsh for love. It's a special word and I thought it would be lovely to incorporate into a blog.
