🖤 Shared housing isn`t always straight forward, especailly if you are in a house with people you didn`t previously know.
🌟 A little "check-in" whether you are besties or have just met, can go a long way.
🖤 We challenge all of our housemates to send a "you doing ok?" message this week, you never know where it could take you 😊

It`s been amazing seeing so many students strolling, running and just enjoying along Swansea promenade the last couple of weeks.
🖤 We have been spoilt with some incredible sunsets. But this beauty with the iconic swansea observatory in view is extra special!

🏠 Doing your laundry and smelling nice can feel like a massive waste of time! But, unfortunately, it`s essential 👎
It also makes you miss living in your family home (a bit) where the laundry fairy would sort it!
So make things a LITTLE easier by getting it out of the way on a Tuesday!
Give it a go and see if it makes a difference to the rest of your week … and scent!
