Sun!!!

So after having a gym membership for around six months, only using the facilities about three times, and therefore wasting A LOT of money, I decided to cancel my membership. However, since finishing uni a few weeks ago I have noticed that I have been doing less exercise (less walking to and from a million different buses, less dance classes and generally more eating of chocolate...) and decided to change this. So I grabbed one of my best friends and we took a drive down to Strathclyde Country Park. This is basically a big lake and as far as I have managed to work out the main walkways are around 4 miles in total. It is super pretty (see pictures below) and also it's FREE! It also means that we can have a good wee catch-up on the way round, so really there are no negatives. It has also been sunny recently in bonny old Scotland which makes a nice change and makes our walks a lot more pleasant. We have done this walk twice in the past fortnight and plan on carrying on. Hopefully we'll be ready to get into our bikinis soon and another plus point is that we can get a tan on the way round meaning that people won't be afraid when they see my ghostly legs any more. Yay!

                             


I Love my Hello Kitty Vans!

I am also trying to go to more dance classes again. If anyone is looking for a fun way to keep fit which will work on all your muscles, on cardio, stamina, basically everything, I would definitely recommend going to dance classes. Yesterday, I started a six week course in Burlesque. This is something I have wanted to try for a long time and isn't as sleazy as it sounds. I thought it wouldn't require that much energy but by the time I got home the back of my legs were burning-definitely one to try!

Love,

    Aw, the swan and the little ducks! SO cute :') I'm glad you're getting some sun over there, we see the tiniest bit of it then it's gone again, no hope of tanning.
    Anyway, welcome to the blogging world, I hope you enjoy being a part of it as much as I do and I hope to speak soon,
    Laura xx

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
