Shopping at Boots

Had to nip to Boots today for a few essentials.  Here is what I picked up... (sorry my pictures are pretty crap)


Shaving Gel

This is 'Queen of... Ooh la la!'  I think it is buy the people who make King of Shaves?  I've never used it before but read about it on the Boots website yesterday and decided I just HAD to give it a go.  It smells beautiful, as it has lots of aloe-vera in.  Reminds me of when I get my eye brows waxed!  Can't wait to see how silky my legs are after using it.


Eyelash Curlers

Boots eyelash curlers.  I had wanted something a little different from plain silver so these black ones caught my eye.  Never had a problem with eyelash curlers before, love them!


Dry Shampoo

Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Morning After Dry Shampoo.  Never used this before but I have heard amazing things about it.  Such as.... amazing smell, plus it doesn't leave any white on your hair, like Batiste can.


Nail Polish Remover

Boots own brand Conditioning Nail Polish Remover.  Liked the look of the packaging and don't see the point of shelling out for simple nail polish remover.


Toothpaste & toothbrush!

I seriously needed some new toothpaste and decided to carry on with my "Boots own brand" theme, and bought their Whitening toothpaste.  It was 3 for 2 on dental stuff, so I picked up a new toothbrush which I did need, and picked up a 2nd tube of toothpaste.  Not the most exciting, but definitely essential!


Have you tried any of this stuff? xoxo

Long weekend

I finished work on Friday and headed home to wait for my boyfriend to finish so that we could head to Glasgow.  We were staying with my mum & dad for 2 nights, then with his for one, and we'd taken Monday off.  While I was waiting for him I packed my bag and managed to find the time to paint my nails.


Once we got to my mum & dad's we had  a takeaway with my mum - Indian.  My dad was out but my brother was in and he had some too.  The next day we went for a Wimpey, yay!!!!  Then off to visit my Nana before she went on her trip to Rome.  After that I had my hair cut & coloured.  It's much darker than before and is still quite long but now has MILLIONS of layers in it.  I was fed up with it and said to my hairdresser to just go for it, and do whatever she liked.  I like it but I'm still getting used to it.  Wish my fringe was just a little bit longer!  That night we went out for dinner with my mum, dad & brother.  It wasn't great because to be honest I'm not too keen on spending time with those 3!  I can't really explain it but I can't handle being with them for too long and I don't enjoy it and it makes me feel really bad :-/ anyway....... the next day I met 2 of my friends & one of their boyfriends for lunch.  Was great to see them.  Then I headed to bf's mum & dad's where he was waiting.  Spent the night there and then we went to the cinema in Glasgow yesterday.  Seen 2 films with a Pizza Hut in between :) we used to always go to this cinema in Glasgow and loved it.  Obviously don't get to go to that one as much now we're in Edinburgh.  We seen Wall Street and Mr Nice.  Wall Street was one of the most boring films I've ever seen.  As you may already know, the first Wall Street film was in the 80's.  I've never seen it but my bf wanted to go n see the new one, so I managed to catch the first one on Sky Movies.  Hated it!  Thought the new one would be better though, but honestly I sat trying to see my watch in the dark for most of the time.  Mr Nice was pretty good, but was far too long!


Back to work and back to reality today!  Work was really quiet, which might sound good but it meant that the day dragged.


I'm catching up with The Only Way Is Essex.  I know they're really tacky etc... but I love how they all go to all this effort to look "good" every day :) although I wouldn't like to look like them, I wish I could make the time every day to look my best!  I do try but there's some days where I just can't be bothered or sleep in.


Bf is out tonight for a few drinks.  He is the one out of us that cooks.  I can't cook to save myself and so since he is out I've had a Pot Noodle for dinner!  Chinese Chow Mein, wasn't too bad, first time I've tried it ha ha :) xx

I don't like Mondays

Today... I had to get the bus to the hospital to hand my 24 hour heart monitor back in.  I quite like the little bus journey.  I work between 3 different offices in Edinburgh and 2 of them are really close to my flat so I just walk, and the other is a short bus journey away.  I liked being on the bus going in a different direction and relaxing on the bus a little longer.  So now I just have to sit tight and wait on the results.


As I was walking down the road to work, I had a call from my manager, asking if I had forwarded on a certain really important email on Friday.... which I had not :-/ he was like "WHY?" he wasn't too bad about it actually but I felt like an idiot because it was such a stupid mistake.  Oooops.


I was supposed to go round and see my friend's new flat tonight but I reeeeeally couldn't be bothered :-/ so now I'm watching the X Factor from last night and I'm sorry but I really don't understand Cheryl's choices.  HOW could she of put Katie through?  And not Gamu?  Hmmmm.... xx

The evening after the night before...

Well last night was ok.  I spent ages getting ready and was really happy with how I looked.  I wore a little black skirt with small white hearts on it.  It is short and quite tight but has a little frilly bit just above the bum.  Maybe sounds weird but I promise it's nice!  I also wore a loose black top with black crystals stitched around the front tucked in to the skirt, with black tights and chunky boots with chunky heels, which were black with gold buckles & studs.  I was really happy with my make up.  I normally wear Benefit's Eye Bright on my water line which is a really light pink, almost white and really opens up my eyes.  Occasionally I will swap to Urban Decay's Electric 24/7 liner which is a turquoise colour, but that's generally as far as I go with eye liner.  But, the other day I bought a GOSH eye liner from Superdrug.  I think it's maybe called Dove Grey.  I still wore my Eye Bright on my water line but I went for the GOSH line on my top eye lid and I even attempted a sexy little flick!  Which I think was pretty successful.  On my hair I used a volumising mousse by Aussie, and blow dried it with a large round brush so it was nice and big.  Pinned my fringe to the sides and sprayed with Aussie hair spray.  It was the first time I used both those Aussie products and I must say I was impressed!


We went to Jamie's Italian, which is an Italian restaurant (duh?) on George Square in Glasgow.  Oh and it is owned by Jamie Oliver.  It was lovely but I don't think it was anything special and I wouldn't be back in a hurry.  After that we headed to The Corinthian which is a pub/club.  Looks lovely but was FULL of posers in suits.  Old sleazy guys and young sleazy guys that think they're something else.  Wasn't in there long.


Also yesterday, before I started to get ready I headed to Princes Street to see if I could find something new to wear.  I couldn't, but I popped in to Lush as I'd heard that none other than the best shower gel ever; Snow Fairy, was back out for Christmas, and the rumours were true :-D the Lush on Princes Street was actually having a Snow Fairy party, so all the staff were in pink and I was given a cup of pink Cherryade and a pink wafer!  I got a bit carried away and also picked up the Snow Fairy lip tint which is an amazing hot pink colour and of course has that beautiful Snow Fairy scent, which even my boyfriend loves!  I don't have to worry about him stealing my shower gel though.... due to the glitter! :)


Well, I'm away for now because I'm going to bed with a boyfriend and a tin of chocolates! ;) xx

My first kiss went a little like this...!

Hi!  This isn't my first blog but I'm hoping it'll be the last one.  I always love them at the start then get bored but I aim to keep this one up.  I won't be writing about anything in particular, just whatever I feel like at the time.


I love reading other people's blogs and I hope mine is interesting to a few as well.


As you can see from my profile I'm 26 (eeek!) and I live in Edinburgh.  I'm not from here but me & my boyfriend both moved from work.  I live with him in our rented flat along with our 5 fish; Leon, Sacha, Malcolm Tucker, Snape & Sirius.  I'd love a kitten but we're not allowed them in the flat.  Plus I think it would be a little bit cruel coz we work long hours and it would be on it's own a lot and it wouldn't be easy to let it out so that's kinda a no.


I'm originally from Glasgow and I miss it and my friends and my social life... but not really missing my family!  Enjoying the peace from them.  I also miss my cat!


Today I'm going shopping (soon) and then I'm getting ready to go to Glasgow to meet my friends for dinner & cocktails! ;) not decided if I will stay over with someone or make the trek back to Edinburgh, we will see! xx
