You may have heard me moaning about being on the train due to having no car for the last few weeks. There are a few good points to being stuck on public transport though. I’ve been working my way through all the albums I download but never get round to listening to in full. I’ve had the chance to look at Scotland’s beautiful landscape rather … Continue reading On The Cover of a Magazine
Remember when you were 19 and didn’t get hangovers, could stay up all night and all day and lose half a stone at the drop if a hat? I remember older friends at uni telling me how things change as you get older. I always palmed them off believing I was lucky. Well turns out no, I’m not lucky, I was just young. The hangovers … Continue reading When I Get Older, Losing My Hair
At the end of April I was invited along to the INAA finalists event for the Scottish Hair and Beauty Awards. My friends Roz and Bex were also invited. Bex took some amazing photos, which I featured below. I’ll admit I hadn’t heard of the hosts website before.

Last Sunday me and the man went out for what was meant to be dinner, but turned into dinner and quite a few cocktails. We went to The Boathouse in Kilsyth which is not far from us.

I finally made it to the new Forever 21 shop in Glasgow. The shop is massive, three huge floors of clothes, shoes and accessories. I have to say I was a little bit like a kid in a sweet shop when I first went in. There is a massive selection of styles on offer. I went with my friend Laura, we have different tastes and … Continue reading I’ll take you to the Candy Shop
On Wednesday I attended the opening of Munro’s bar in Glasgow’s westend. I went along with my friend Roz and her husband from olivedragonfly . The bar itself is trendy and welcoming. The back bar looks cool with bottles on display and the place has lots of cosy corners and a beautiful real fire. It’s the kinda place you can be comfortable in and just … Continue reading He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink
Oh my god is it never going to stop snowing, its supposed to be spring. I was supposed to go check out the new Forever 21 shop which opened in Glasgow yesterday, the weather is frightful though. I decided I wasn’t going to venture into town and would just spend the day curled on the sofa, in my onsie with my favourite boy. The man … Continue reading The Weather Outside is Frightful
On Thursday night I was lucky enough to attend the Style at Merchant Square fashion event. I went along with my friend Laura. The event was held to raise money for the Prince and Princess if Wales Hospice. As I was a VIP, I know fancy, I was treated to a champagne reception with some rather tasty canapés. We were then all summoned downstairs for … Continue reading Fashion
A few nights ago I went along to a wonderful evening with Maggie O’Farrell. She was doing a book reading and Q&A in Waterstones in Glasgow. I was first introduced to Maggie by my big sister, Lynsey. I immediately fell in love with her writing. Her first novel, After You’re Gone, is sublime. I cried my eyes out reading it. She creates a whole world … Continue reading Instructions for a Heatwave
