The gorgeous colours of Barry M’s Speedy Quick Dry collection caught my eye straight away! And it realy does dry in ‘lightning speed’!
With ‘Eat My Dust’, I got a perfect spring shade mani without the burden of having to sit for aaaages for the paint to dry. It also has a flat brush, which I haven’t seen in Barry M before. It makes application super easy and fast!
Now, to collect the other shades.. How about ‘Lap of Honour’…
Cefais fy nenu gan y lliwiau deniadol casgliad Speedy Quick Dry Barry M yn syth!
Gyda ‘Eat My Dust’, cefais y mani perffaith heb orfod eistedd am oria yn disgwl i’r paent sychu. Mae ganddo brwsh fflat hefyd, rhywbeth nad ydw i wedi gweld gyda Barry M o’r blaen. Mae hyn yn gwneud paentio yn lot fwy rhwydd!
Rwan, rhaid casglu’r lliwiau eraill.. Beth am ‘Lap of Honour’…
Healthy is the new Skinny is a small organisation that has made a big impact.
I’m guilty of wanting to be like a model in a magazine, wanting amazing abs and flawless skin. To be totally honest, I wanted it so much that I started hating what I saw in the mirror and spent hours picking out my faults. And I know I’m not alone.
When on Facebook one day, someone shared a post from Healthy is the new Skinny’s Facebook page and, being the curious me, I had a look at what this page was about. From that point, my perception of my body image changed. Instead of picking my faults and putting myself down when I ate, I started picking out and working on my strengths. Instead of wanting the make-believe-bodies, I started liking my own body.
They also sell a range of clothing, from jackets to snapbacks! So, how could I ever resist buying a hoodie? It’s only just arrived, and it’s super comfy!
Sefydliad bach ydi Healthy is the new Skinny, ond mae nhw wedi cael effaith mawr arnai.
Dwi’n euog o eisiau bod fel modelau mewn cylchgronnau, eisiau abs anhygoel a’r croen perffaith. I fod yn hollol onest, roeddwn i eisiau edrych fel y modelau gymaint, wnes i ddechrau casau beth oeddwn i’n gweld yn y drych. A dwi’n gwybod nad ydw i ar ben fy hun.
Pan oeddwn ar Facebook un diwrnod, roedd rhywun wedi rhannu post gan Healthy is the new Skinny a mentrais i edrych beth oedd y tudalen yma. O’r pwynt yma, newidiodd fy ngolwg. Yn lle pigo ar y namau a casau fy hun wrth fyta, dechreuais pigo fy nghryfderau a gweithio arnynt.
Mae nhw hefyd yn gwerthu dillad ar eu gwefan, o siacedi i hetiau! Felly sut allai beidio prynnu hoodie?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Bara Brith, it’s a Welsh delicacy that fills your mouth with this heavenly deliciousness that you cannot comprehend.
It’s super easy to make, and the recipe is as follows:
around 250g of mixed dried fruit 300ml of tea 200g light brown sugar 350g self raising flour 1 egg (beaten) 50g butter 2tsp mixed spice
Put the mixed dried fruit and brown sugar in a bowl, then pour the tea all in the bowl. Leave it to soak over night.
Heat the oven at around 160 degrees and grease a loaf tin (I used baking paper instead).
Mix the flour and mixed spice in a bowl, then gradually add the soaked fruit mix.
Then, add in the beaten egg before adding the butter.
When everything is mixed together, put the mixture into the loaf tin.
Cook in the oven for around 1 hour and 10 – 15 mins.
Enjoy the fabulous flavours and send me your pictures!
Mae Bara Brith yn anhygoel, ac mae’r rhysait yn syml iawn!

Tybiaf fod Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog, band o Ogledd Cymru, yn hen gyfarwydd gyda byd cerddoriaeth Cymraeg erbyn hyn. Yn fand ers 2006, mae nhw wedi chwarae nifer fawr iawn o gigs a cyd-weithio gyda artistiaid fel Gwyneth Glyn.
Cefais gyfle sydyn i ofyn i Aled ychydig o gwestiynnau!
Sut wnaethoch chi benderfynnu creu’r band?
Mi oedd Dafydd a fi (Aled) mewn band yn barod. Mi oedd Iwan wedi dechrau chwara’ gitar a chyfansoddi, felly mi oedd o’n gam eitha naturiol i ni dechrau band.
Beth ydi’r darn o gyngor gora’ yda chi erioed wedi ei gael?
Never trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders
Os fysa chi’n cael y cyfle i berfformio ar unrhyw lwyfan yn y byd, lle fysa chi isho perfformio?
Dani wedi bod yn eitha lwcus a chael chwarae mewn dipyn o lefydd unigryw – os fysa ni heb gael gwneud yn barod mae’n siwr y byddai Ynys Enlli wedi bod yn ateb. Mi fysa Ty Opera Sydney yn ddigon difyr dwi’n siwr, neu long danfor.
Beth ydi’r gig gora’ da chi erioed wedi ei wneud?
Mae na ambell un cofiadwy wedi bod… mae Clwb Rygbi Dolgellau yn ystod Sesiwn Fawr 2007 yn un dwi’n gofio’n dda, dwi erioed wedi gweld nunlle mor llawn! Mae Maes B wastad yn gret hefyd ac yn medru tynnu’r gorau allan o’r band.
Beth yw eich hoff gan ‘da chi wedi ei ysgrifennu?
Iwan sy’n sgwennu’r rhan fwyaf o’n caneuon ni. Fy ffefrynnau i ganddo fo ydi Ceffylau ar D’rannau, Can y Capten Llongau a Draw Dros y Mynydd
Beth yw eich hoff gan nad yda chi wedi ei ysgrifennu?
Mi oni’n trio meddwl be di’n hoff ganeuon i diwrnod o’r blaen… ar hyn o bryd mae hi rhwng Jolene (Dolly Parton), Something Changed (Pulp) a Running Scared (Roy Orbison)… neu ella S.O.S gan ABBA… neu Go Your Own way gan Fleetwood Mac… dwnim!
Spring has very nearly arrived, and what better way to get spring-trend-ready than with a quick mani?
Models Own is my absolute favourite nail varnish brand, and their Speckled Eggs collection throws a little spin on the traditional spring shades. I only own one from this collection (so far), and it’s called ‘Dove’. The pretty pastel colour is perfect to entice you out of your winter sweats!
Mae’r gwanwyn bron a chyrraedd, a pa ffordd gwell i ddathlu ‘na gyda mani?
Fy hoff frand paent gewinedd i yw Models Own, a mae eu casgliad Speckled Eggs yn rhoi tro unigryw ar lliwiau traddodiadol y gwanwyn. Dim ond un o’r casgliad yma sydd gen i (hyd yn hyd!) a’i enw yw ‘Dove’. Mae’r lliw pastel prydferth yn siwr o godi unrhyw calon ar ol y gaeaf!
How could I not buy Elle Magazine last month when they were giving away a free mini Benefit mascara? And then how could I not buy the real thing after it graced my lashes with pure awesomeness?
Benefit’s Roller Lash mascara was released in February, and I rushed to buy it! Being my first Benefit product, I looked forward to discover what I’ve been missing out on.
Roller Lash is no less than amazing. It makes my eyes look twice as big and gives them am instant glow. Even on days where I’m a tad peaky, Roller Lash brightens up my whole complexion!
Sut allawn beidio prynnu cylchgrawn Elle mis dywthaf pan oedd y cylchgrawn yn cynnig mascara Benefit am ddim? A wedyn, sut allawn i beidio prynnu’r mascara go iawn ar ol i’r sampl roi
Wedi ei ryddhau ym mis Chwefror, nes i ruthro i’r siop i’w brynnu! Hwn oedd y cynnyrch cyntaf Benefit i mi brynnu, felly roeddwn i’n edrych ymlaen yn arw i’w drio!
Mae Roller Lash yn dim llai na anhygoel. Mae’n wneud i fy llygaid edrych dwywaith eu maint ac yn eu gwneud yn fwy gloyw. Hyd yn oed ar y dyddiau ble dwi’n edrych braidd yn welw, mae Roller Lash yn bywiogi fy ngwedd yn syth!
Gwelais darn o emwaith Buddug am y tro cyntaf mewn Eisteddfod blwyddyn dwytha’, a roeddwn i wrth fy modd efo’r steil unigryw a’r prydferthwch syfrdanol. Felly, prynais darn bach fel anrheg i mam, mwclis calon gyda ‘Cariad’ arni.
Yn wreiddiol o Ogledd Cymru, mae Buddug bellach yn byw yn Llundain, wedi mynychu’r Brif Ysgol yno. Mae ei busnes bellach yn 10 mlwydd oed, ac mae’n mynd o nerth i nerth!
Defnyddiai techneg enamel i greu’r gemwaith, ac yn ol ei gwefan, mae Buddug yn toddi gwydr ar gopr, arian neu dur. Mae hi’n defnyddio haenau gwahanol, ac yn naddu’r dyluniad i fewn i’r haenau.
The first time I saw one of Buddug’s pieces was at an Eisteddfod last year, and I loved the unique rustic style and the stunning beauty they possessed. So, I just had to buy one for my mother, a heart necklace with ‘Cariad’, meaning Love in Welsh.
Originally from North Wales, Buddug now lives in London, having attended University there. Her business is now 10 years old!
Since finishing her studies at Central Saint Martins, receiving an MA in Womenswear, Jacke JS Lee has showcased many collections at London Fashion Week. I always look forward to seeing her newest designs, and today was no exception.
Eagerly awaiting by my laptop with the live stream on full screen, I think back on how her past collections have served as inspiration for me. I love how she can only use a select colour palette time after time, yet deliver something new.
As the room fell dark and silent, the first model entered. With a pixie bowl hairstyle and the classic red lip, the first outfit of LFW did not disapoint.
A persistent feature in this collection was a draw-string effect, which I loved! Gorgeous pale pink fur also graced the catwalk, with the odd shocking pink feature on the dark, black garments.
