A Glasgow Girl

As mentioned in a previous blog post, I am not a real ginger person. I actually dye it red. I know everyone in Scotland is actually ginger, but I am naturally blond and a few years ago I took the decision to go red. And I haven't looked back since. I suit being a red head so much more.  However, it has brought some problems. Red dye fades the fastest, and all the upkeep is not only expensive but also bad for my hair. I use semi-permanent dye as I have heard it is better for the health of your hair and I get it done professionally as I find, for me personally, that it is less dry after a visit to the hairdressers. This product has really helped my hair in the past few months. Before using it, I found that my hair was getting tangled very easily. This hasn't been a big problem recently and I think it's down to this spray. On the back it says its a thickening leave it conditioner. I definitely think it has helped my hair to have more volume. I used to have such thick hair that...

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 vani...

I realise that many people have this nag and that there are countless reviews on the internet but I thought I would give my take on it. I bought this bag at the start of the year-it was sold out in every store I went in to so I decided to get it online. It cost £49.99. I wouldn't normally spend this much on a bag-I tend to use one handbag all the time and I like to carry everything with me so they usually collapse on me after a couple of months-but I wanted to treat myself after working hard all winter and this bag has not given up yet. It has a few bits of wear and tear at the corners but I think that it understandable after all this time.  As I already mentioned, I like to carry everything with me. I need a Mary Poppins bag. Whenever anyone needs something, I am the girl to come to-fully stocked pencilcase-check, tissues-check, curbis and bobbles galore-check, lint roller...-check, so I like a lot of pockets to keep some resemblance of order. This bag fulfills all ...
