Bratz are back and they’re better than ever. They’re sassy and cool, they’re travelling the world and they’re instagramming it all. We received a Bratz #SelfieSnaps Jade doll and enlisted the help of our very own diva friend Ava for the purpose of this review. In addition to the actual

Today’s post was written by my mum! We were invited to go along to Manchester City’s Ethiad stadium for a tour and to learn more about them, but since we are devout ‘reds’ here it wasn’t for us. My mum, however, is a City fan through and through so it
