Dear 22year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 22ND YEAR 🎢 You, Juz and Ali land jobs at the New Look store in the city centre.

Dear 21year old Ames!

Dear 17year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 17TH YEAR 💰🚗 🎓 “Ladies and gentlemen of the class of ‘99… WEAR SUNSCREEN” 🎶 I wish we’d all been listening to the wisdom in this @bazlurhmann tune ⤴️ a little closer 🥺 I blame raging hormones and the far more emotionally in-tune anthems of the Backstreet Boys 🤦🏼‍♀️ SUCH a bittersweet time 🥲 […]

Dear 16year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 16TH YEAR 💋🍻 🎓 There’s going to be plenty of occasions where circumstances give you very little certainty about the future.
