Review: Nardini's Glasgow

The other day one of my Best Friend's turned 23. She is one of my oldest friends and I know she reads my blog so hiya Emma! Anyway, the point of this story is that she decided that what she wanted to do for her birthday day is have ice cream for lunch. Mmm mmm mmm. (This Emma is also my main walking buddy-the other feet featured in my picture in the post "Sun!!!"-therefore I think it is ok that we treat ourselves and eat a lot of sugar for a main meal as we have been doing a lot of exercise recently.) So, both of us and two of her friends from uni, went to visit a lovely little Ice Cream place called Nardini's in Glasgow's West End. It is situated in Byres Road, just opposite Hillhead Subway Station.

We decided to be slightly good and the two of us shared a chicken and mediterranean vegetable toastie before the main event of ice cream. It was rather yummy indeed. I treated myself to a "Meringue Glace" Sundae. It had lots of meringue and sponge and vanilla ice cream and squishy cream and wafers and was basically the opposite of healthy, but goodness. It was delicious.

Meringue Glace Sundae. Yummy in my tummy.
It was bigger than my head so I didn't manage to finish it but it was a lovely treat. The glace cherry on top was most definitely my favourite part. I love those things!!!

There is a Nardini's in Largs, which is the original Nardini's. I remember taking a wee trip down there many a time just to get their lovely ice cream. I am still a little sad that a wee ice cream shop called Three Steps to Heaven has gone since Nardini's came along. They served Cold Stone Creations. If anyone has ever had one of these you will know why I am so upset. But Nardini's will keep my ice cream addiction satisfied whenever I am in the West End. 

Happy Birthday Emma!

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
