£5 challenge!

On Saturday I went along to Forfar with my mum and while she was getting her hair cut I decided to have a look around the shops and spend no more than £5! So I bought a lush half price sugared apple Yankee candle at 90p, Smashed for 50p at the Salvation Army charity shop and these 3 cute cards all on sale at Oxfam for £2.47 altogether. Result!

A healthier and happier 2013

My goals for 2013 are...

1. To drink more water. (My dentist is not a fan of me drinking so much fizzy juice!)
2. To save more money
3. To go to a European music festival! Would love to go back to Rock Wertcher.
4. To visit my friend in Milan, Italy
5. To get more piercing's
6. To use my camera and blog more
7. To spend less money on alcohol! Starting from February...
8. To have more of a wardrobe and less of a floordrobe
9. To start running again
10. To use my Cinema card more...I still really want to see Les Mis

These are the main ones but more to be added soon!

Well...its been a wee while since I've updated my blog but I've been a busy bee working and spending time with friends and family.  I seem to have been out a lot this past month so its nice to have a chilling weekend back home.   I recently went to see Nina Nesbitt in the Tunnels in Aberdeen and to be honest I didn't really know her music but I love going to gigs and listening to new music so I went along with some friends.  I wasn't disappointed as shes got a lovely voice and is a very talented lady.  Boy and The Apple Tree are two of my favourite songs to listen to at the moment.  Check her out!

My friend Claire left her last job to start a new one so we celebrated in style and made cocktails in Revolution.  Sadly quite a few people couldn't make it so there was more for us and we had a blast!

Two weekends ago I went North of Inverness for her sister's 21st birthday where she had a ceilidh in a local hall.  When they go out drinking they call it 'going on the shot' and above is just a small section of our table full of booze! Also above is a picture of me and Claire doing a dance called the Gay Gordons which is a traditional Scottish Ceilidh dance.  Her tartan top was the same one that Katy Perry wore but her's was in red when she had a concert in Glasgow.  At the bottom is the after party with us in the bath until Claire sat on the taps and all this water came rushing out and we all jumped out of the bath! Fun Times.

Autumn Wishes

Miss Selfridge burgundy dress / Miss Selfridge black quilted jacket / Miss Selfridge burgundy heels / Topshop leopard handbag / Cross body shoulder bag

What I bought

Baltiste Dry Shampoo  I'm not sure what I did before dry shampoo was invented! This is one of my essentials and I bought this for its cute design.

Garnier BB Cream  I've heard a lot about the new Garnier BB Cream so thought I would give this a go.

Pink Bubbly Vaseline I love this, it looks very classy and I always have a pot of Vaseline in my bag.  It has a nice pink colour and I like the hint of champagne you can smell  from it.

My week in pictures

Well this week I've not been able to put down the book Me Before You by Jojo Moyes given to me by my flatmate. Amazing story, would recommend this to anyone.  Last Saturday me and the girls had a wee trip down to the Perth Races, a great day enjoyed by all! Lots of Pimms consumed and shouting on horses! Above is us getting to the races on a vintage double decker bus.  I've also had a week off work and decided to go down to Edinburgh to visit some friends and soak some atmosphere from the Fringe Festival.  Above are just some of the many flyers I got handed walking up the Royal Mile, it was really interesting seeing snips of different theater shows and performing artists.  I'm always fascinated with people who play and perform with fire and above was a street performer I really enjoyed watching!
