A Sunny Walk


So a couple of days ago I went on another little walk as part of my new 'let's be healthy' regime. People say that being able to drive completely opens up the world to you and it does. It means I've been able to drive myself and my favourite people to places that would have been to far to walk to in the past. So I took my/my mum's car and drove to a little loch (or lake to my non-Scottish readers) called James Hamilton Memorial Park in East Kilbride-just a little outside of Glasgow. I took my little sister (who is infact not so little but actually about double the height of me...I told you I was small-see my post entitled 'Hello...') and my boyfriend and we took a little stroll. James Hamilton is nowhere near as big as Strathclyde Country Park so is better for a more relaxed walk but I still include it as exercise-even though we ate ice lollies on the way round-lemon flavoured lollies are the best in my opinion. Our walk was going very well until my lovely boyfriend decided to lift me up and put me in the dirty loch-I was not amused but soon dried off in the sun. Yet again, no walk of mine would be complete without the obligatory duck pictures.

Ooo, panoramic!

Little baby! Nearly kidnapped this one...

Baby's family.

Sun!

More ducks!

Long may the Scottish sun continue!

Love,

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
