Hello...

Hello world...this all seems very strange. I understand what bloggers mean now when they say that your first post seems like you are just shouting into an empty room. I'll start by introducing myself-my name is Fiona, I'm 22 and I'm from Glasgow (as the title of my blog kinda suggests). I have recently completed university and have been a fan of blogs and vlogs for a while so decided now would be the perfect time to start my own. I am planning to blog on fashion, beauty, theatre and my everyday life. Here are a few random facts about me to help you to get to know me better:

1. I have just completed an Honours degree in Musical Theatre. I am currently waiting on my results-it is completely and utterly TERRIFYING.

2. I played the cello at school. When my mother first asked me if I wanted to learn how to play at the age of 11, I was told that it is 'a big violin'. It is a HUGE violin, and considering that I was teeny tiny at that age (and am still fairly petite now) I became known around school as 'Cello Girl' as when I walked up the stairs with my cello on my back you couldn't see me at all. 

3. I used to be obsessed with the colour pink. There was a period in my life when my parents found it hard to get me to wear anything other than pink clothes (and not like the normal baby-toddler pink period, more like between the ages of 3-13...) 

4. I have just passed my driving test and everyone is still a little scared about getting into the car with me...I just scraped a pass in my test and nearly crashed into a lampost just before my test as I was so nervous. 

5. I go to choir and I love it. I think people have a misconception about choirs being really geeky but my parents sending me to choir at the age of 7 was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Without it I wouldn't have learned to sing and met so many amazing people and I wouldn't be where I am today.

6. Also, I can be a bit cheesy at times...

Love,

            Fiona

Gluten Free Review: Bodach's kitchen

Image
I've said this before but it's been a while. Lots has happened since my last post which I'll maybe do a wee update post about, but today I'm here to talk about where I went for lunch today. Living in Corona times the most exciting thing you can possibly do is go for a walk and get a takeaway lunch, and today was an exciting day. After a short walk around Kelvingrove park and down Byres Road we stopped at unassuming little hole in the wall with a long queue outside which is always a good sign. The queue went down quickly and there was some cute dogs in front of us (bonus!). The staff were absolutely lovely. When asking about gluten free options they offered to make me a sandwich from scratch but I instead went for the soup and some bread and butter (not toasted so looks like they always have some fresh bread ready to go). I also got a hot apple cider (not as sweet as I expected it to be but still delicious) and the last slice of gf millionaires shortbread!  My sister got

Fräulein 38 makeup brushes review

Image
   Apologies yet again for the lack of blog posts. I am the worst blogger ever. I try and stick to a schedule of uploading every Monday but sometimes life gets in the way. I bought the Fräulein 38 24 piece starter brushes set about 2 years ago. I don't even remember what I used before then but it was probably just a mixture of random brushes collected over the years. However, I ended up buying these as I was about to participate in an amateur production of 'Little Shop of Horrors' and knew that, judging on our past show where I ended up doing the majority of the male casts makeup, I would probably need more/new brushes. After searching about for a cheap brush set I came across these. I believe I bought them from Amazon or a similar retailer as I don't remember the brand having their own website at the time. Picture taken from the Fräulein 38 website as I am silly and decided to wash my brushes therefore they look all soggy and not very attractive just now.

Bath and Body Works-Mahogany Teakwood

Image
Unfortunately for all of us living in the UK, we do not have a Bath and Body Works store. (Or perhaps it's a good thing as if we did I would have no money but lots and lots of candles...)  So, when I was in the states I had to pick up a few wee goodies. I made a trip to the Westfield San Francisco and when I saw Bath and Bodyworks, I grabbed a basket and ran around like a small child in a sweetie store.  At the top of my list were these candles. I had heard that these smelt like Abercrombie Fierce (the lovely scent which you can smell when you walk into an Abercrombie and Fitch) and that is most certainly true. Unfortunately, the bigger candles were too heavy to bring home so I got the three minis instead.  I have started burning one, and it is lasting fairly well. Also, it is really easy to light. (For some reason it takes me many attempts to light some of my other candles.)  Walking into my room now fills me with great joy every time.  Love, Fi x
