What a beautiful day my friend Kathleen and I had in Edinburgh last week. The sun was shining (even though it was very windy!) we took a walk up Calton Hill just for a change. I have to say you forget what a beautiful city Edinburgh is until your standing at one of the highest points overlooking everything. This was also the day that we decided to go to Tempo Tea Bar (Market Street, Edinburgh) and try our first ever Bubble Tea. And what an experience that was! Kathleen had a fruit tea, whereas I tried a Melon Mix milk tea (and they do soya milk which is bloody brilliant for people like me!!) I highly recommend that place and I shall be going back! I didn't really put much thought into this outfit however I received constant compliments on how well coordinated I looked... In all honesty, I looked like a stereotypical "hipster" but I was okay with that for once! I have always wanted to own a pair of dungarees and I purchased these last year from New Lo...

How are we all? I haven't been on here recently for many reasons, but the main one being that I just haven't had an interest, and that's okay. As it was my birthday only recently, it's become more apparent to me about how much things can change in your life, whether it be plans, family or career plans... “‎Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning... Anyone can start over and make a new ending .” Chico Xavier Hindsight is always a great thing, but if we hadn't made the mistakes / choices that we did, then we might not be in the position that we are now. One of the main things that I am thankful for and always will be, is my family being supportive as they are. They have shaped my personality and made me who I am today, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah, we've had our ups and downs but shit happens, right? “The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can chang...

Now isn't this summer weather something else? I mean, Scotland being able to have temperatures of 25 degrees and more is certainly something we're not used to! But I am definitely not complaining, unless I'm at work and the sweat is pouring off me because I'm inside in a long sleeved shirt and tie haha... So, since it's my day off I thought that I would do something fun without putting very much thought into it. And here it is, 25 random questions for your enjoyment! 1 - Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed? My door has to always be shut, I can't even try to sleep if it's open because it makes me feel anxious for some weird reason! 2- Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or by a swarm of bees? I'll take the bear because to this day *touches wood* I have never been stung by a bee or wasp so I plan on staying well away from them!! 3- Do you always smile for pictures? Not always no, the main reason being that when I smile, my ...

What a night this was! Heading home after a ten hour shift, to get myself dolled up and head out to the celebratory evening to support Craigmount High School's pipeband. The evening was held at the Capital Hotel in Edinburgh, and I have to say that the suite the event was being held in was lovely. They had gone all out on the decorations, for example they had lovely fairy lights and stunning candelabras in the centre of every table to putting blue sash on the chairs. I think in total there was about 80-90 people there to support the band, and with that amount of people, the members of the hotel provided a lovely three course meal plus tea and coffees to finish. The starter consisted of roast duck with brioche toast served with red current jelly, and it was lovely. The main course was chicken breast stuffed with haggis, sautéed potato, carrots, green beans wrapped in bacon with a whiskey jus on the side... (Yum). As for the pudding? Well, it was sticky toffee puddi...

Hello everyone,  How are we all? I do have to apologise for not having a post uploaded in a while but I do have my reasons aha! From my Prom which signified the celebration of the end of my school career to having the amazing opportunity to see Michael Flatley's Lord Of The Dance at the Playhouse in Edinburgh and of course my new specs! Prom, where do I start?! Well, our venue for this was at the Murryfield International Stadium in Edinburgh (home of Scottish rugby!) and I have to say it was definitely an amazing atmosphere! I couldn't have asked for a better night (apart from some air-conditioning which woulda be great!) but being able to spend time with my friends before we all go our separate ways, whether it be to Uni or in my case Germany! I have to admit that when it came to choosing a dress, I was driving both myself and my mum round the bend with my indecisiveness, which I have to admit is a regular occurrence... To begin with I wanted a floor length dress...
