It is sometimes said that the history of a town can be seen in its public houses, and indeed they are often among the oldest surviving buildings. A nostalgic look at some of the great hostelries of the capital city.

As far back as 1340 the burgesses of Cardiff employed two ale-tasters to ensure the standard of the local beer was up to scratch. One of the oldest inn sites in the city is that occupied by the Owain Glyndwr in Church Street.

Called the Mably Arms in 1731, it has since been known as the Kemys Tynte Arms, the Tennis Court and the Buccaneer, before taking its current name in the 1970s.

Cardiff's docks naturally led to a maritime feel in its taverns, as the owners sought to lure in the sailors who arrived ashore with money to spend.

From the fairly salubrious to the downright dangerous, he plots their changing fortunes as the city itself has changed over the years.

Gorgeous summer glow anytime
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The body shimmer is like being kissed by warm summer breeze a glow of star dust. It lights not sticky or tacky. It gloriously luxurious but simple way to step a look.

Cute, Smells like Chemicals
Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Looks great but transfers easily. I liked the shade and how the glitter was visible but not distracting. I wasn’t fond of how it smelled but I covered the scent with my sunscreen and I didn’t notice afterwards. Smells like a chemical like scent but it was worth the value I paid for. Good as a highlighter, to add a touch of glow to the face. You can’t see it under foundation but it’s cute on the cheek bones to give a make up less look on a sunny day. The brush is also good quality.

Quick glow up
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great bronzing shimmer for a little added glow before walking out the door! It's very lightweight and goes on very smooth with brush. I ended up buying and using a larger kabuki brush to brush on faster but the brush it comes with works ok as well. It's the perfect amount of bronze and shimmer.. not glittery or over the top and doesn't have a smell. Doesn't transfer on clothes but I always let it dry a few minutes before putting on clothes.
