A Glasgow Girl

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

Sorry for the lack of blog posts recently...I just got back from a road trip in America and Wifi was few and far between. This was my last official family holiday so we made it a big one-starting off in Las Vegas and ending up in San Diego.  San Francisco, Las Vegas and Disney were my favourite places but Death Valley was an interesting experience. Walking about in 50 degrees Celsius heat which didn't cool down till about 11pm was certainly different from the weather in Scotland!  Disney will always be my favourite place on earth and it was my first time visiting the Californian one. It was very interesting seeing the original park and Indiana Jones was definitely my favourite ride! I won't ruin it in case you haven't even on it before but the ending is spectacular and apparently it is different in every park!  I can't wait to go back one day and try out the California Adventure Park!
