Top 5 Favourite Blogs

Long time to see!

With all good intentions I haven't been very good at all of this blogging malarkey but i have decided to give it another go. (Third times a charm and all of that chat!)

So today I decided to tell you about my 5 favourite bloggers who gave me the inspiration to try it out myself.


Number 1 - Sprinkle of Glitter - http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/

This is no doubt me favourite out of them all! The girl who writes this blog comes across as one of the nicest people in the world. She updates alot and also has 2 your tube channels. Linked below....perfect person to watch if you are feeling a little down! She covers fashion, beauty and general life. Please go and check it out.

Number 2 - Zoella  http://schoee.blogspot.co.uk/

Another great blog - very beauty organised but has also inspired a few clothing purchases of mines too!
Again she also has a you tube channel. This girl doesn't post as much as Sprinkle of Glitter but enough to keep you interested. 


Number 3 - By Celina http://bycelina.com/


I have only just recently discovered this blog. It is more on the luxury side of things and again covers beauty, fashion and life. A lot of more expensive fashion suggestions but also includes budget ideas....creates one of those "I want that girls life" moments. she also has an adorable new puppy which features in the newer posts!



Number 4 - Temporary: Secretary http://temporary-secretary.blogspot.co.uk/


Looove this girls style. Again this is a fashion/beauty blog....every outfit on there I wouldn't think twice about buying!

Number 5 - Text from the Dog  http://textfromdog.tumblr.com/


Last but not least...this has nothing to do with beauty or fashion. This always makes me laugh....I sit on the couch and read it out to my boyfriend who is not at all interested and looks at me like I'm mad each time I do it. Oh well I like it - maybe you will too!
Please let me know what you think of these blogs - maybe you are already a fan?! let me know why.

To me...from meee!

So I have been working hard the last couple of months and thought that I deserved a treat.

You will soon realise that I am not good at decisions. I had a week off on holiday and decided to rope my best friend into the job of helping me decide what to by...well not quite! I had decided I wanted a watch and had an idea of brand but couldn't decide on a colour.

So off we trotted to Glasgow which began with some terrible parking by my best bud! 




We went straight to Argyle Arcade the place to jewellery shop! Finally I decided on rose gold and I absolutely love it!!!!


Micheal Kors - Rose Gold Watch from Barclays Diamonds
the staff were lovely and very patient waiting for me to make a decision :)





Noodle Cup!

It has been awhile since I did a post so I think it is time to get my self back on track as I have a list as long as my arm of things I want to talk about...or should I say type about!!!

So where to begin! I think with the amazing find I stumbled upon when picking up a few things in Adsa. I was grabbing a few bits and bobs for my friends BBQ...he was more of a mad dash as I was running late as usual!

I went on holiday last year to Dubai and Thailand and fell in love with the Thai equivalent to pop noodles...which I named "noooodle cups"

I loved them soo much and would have brought some home if I could have fitted anything else in my suitcase following a crazy shopping spree in Bangkok! they were a great snack after a long day by the pool. :) perfect for those who like all things spicy. personally I don't do spicy but I loved the challenge!!

So next time you are in the supermarket ans spot these bad boys - give them a whirl!

You gotta love Sundays!

nom..nom..nom


Great day for relaxing and enjoying a great Sunday Roast! 

This Sunday was a little chilly but the sun was out so me and my boyfriend decided to take little Milo to the park...I was of course accompanied by my camera! <3

A great find...

Don't you just love it when someone tells you about something that can totally change your world!!!

Well it just happened to me!! =) I was complaining in work about the key fob for my car being broken and it's soo old that I can't get a replacement. Some suggested sugru!!

Chocolate Making Workshop!

This weekend was a busy one. =) On Saturday I drove down to Peebles with a friend from work to try out a new chocolate workshop we received an invite too. It was an early start but worth the effort.

We headed down there around 8.30am an the drive was lovely...we arrived there around 10am - just in time for it starting.

It all started with am introduction to how chocolate is made before we then learnt about the different kinds available...along with a taste test of course! We then learned about "tempering chocolate" for making your own chocolates at home! I will share recipes later but my top tip I learned was that chocolate should always be melted in a plastic bowl in the microwave!
