🌞🌷 Spring Forward, Swansea! 🌷🌞

Yes, we lost an hour of sleep last night, but it’s a small price to pay for all the amazing perks that come with longer days and lighter evenings! πŸ˜ƒβœ¨

🌿 What’s in it for you?
βœ… More daylight = More time for evening walks along Swansea Bay 🌊
βœ… Outdoor adventures and BBQs are back on the menu! πŸ”
βœ… Sunsets at 8 PM? Yes, please! πŸŒ…
βœ… A natural mood booster – sunlight helps you feel happier and more energetic! πŸ˜ƒ

But why do we change the clocks in the UK anyway? πŸ€”
It’s all about making the most of daylight! The tradition started during WWI to save energy by reducing the need for artificial light in the evenings. The idea stuck, helping us enjoy lighter, brighter evenings for work and play. Many other countries skip this, but here in the UK, we’re all about making the most of that sunshine! β˜€οΈ

So, let’s shake off the sleepiness, get outside, and make the most of this beautiful season! 🌸✨

How are you planning to spend your extra hour of daylight? Drop your plans in the comments! πŸ‘‡πŸ’¬ #SpringForward #SwanseaLife #LongerDaysβ€”

#advice
πŸ–€ 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.

πŸ–€ We challenge all of our housemates to send a "you doing ok?" message this week, you never know where it could take you 😊

πŸ–€ 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 πŸ‘Ž

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!
