C R O S E O !

Hi! I'm Gwennan (pronounced Gwen-un) - the face and words behind UK lifestyle blog www.gwennanrees.com and freelance illustration business Gwennan Rees Illustration. Originally started in 2016, my blog under the name twenty something meltdown was shortlisted for Lifestyle Blogger of the Year for the Blogosphere Blog Awards 2017, you can see me on BBC news here and I have the odd viral post floating around Pinterest. By day I am thirty something (hence the name change) Gwennan Craddock, a people development coordinator and in the evenings and on weekends I am still Gwennan Rees, freelancer and lifestyle blogger.

After graduating in 2015 I set up my illustration business and moved back to live in South East Wales with my husband and our dog on his family farm and orchards. My blog has seen me through three years of self employment and freelance life after graduation in my early twenties and has transitioned into full time employment with me, juggling office life with getting married, trying to keep a handle on my house and my three nieces. Over the last few years my blog has been my focus, my hobby, put to one side and everything in between but throughout, I have built up a lovely and reliable audience, organised and attended blogger events and worked with lots of great brands.

Enjoy catching up on my life and don’t forget to come and say hi!
