It's been a crazy roller coaster ride of late for everyone. Highs and lows, peaks and troughs, good days and the not so good. I've tried to put into words how I've been feeling lately and ended up writing this poem. So whether you are having a good day, a bit of a low day … Continue reading Sometimes
Times Like These
Oh, helloo! (In my best Mrs Doubtfire voice! You can hear it too, right?) 😂 It's been a while. And yet no time at all. I hope this blog post finds everyone healthy, safe and semi-sane! I hope your cupboards are stacked full with wine, your fridge is crammed with delicious treats, your lounge wear … Continue reading Times Like These
Table for one, please.
Today, I just want to curl up in bed. I'm on the tram aimlessly scrolling through Instagram to take my mind off the fact I'm heading into work. It's a beautiful, crisp morning and my new pom pom hat provides a perfect cushion for me to rest my weary head against the wet, cold window. … Continue reading Table for one, please.
A letter to my 21 year old self
With every passing year, my dear Mum is extremely prone to beautiful, profound and heartfelt messages about how extraordinary life is while also gently reminding me that it moves incredibly fast... blink, and you might just miss it. I have to admit, I didn't always believe her when I was a fresh-faced 21-year-old, I always … Continue reading A letter to my 21 year old self
The great Scottish escape
Let's face it. Sometimes life can get pretty hectic. If you're lucky, you manage to find a seat on the early morning bus or train into work after scrambling desperately for a seat. It's regularly crammed with empty crisp packets and sleepy commuters, who have their heads burried deep into an IPhone, carrying a strong, … Continue reading The great Scottish escape
Not for the faint hearted
What makes your blood turn cold? Is there anything that makes you want to curl up in bed and never leave? Even if it means missing out on that drama filled episode of Love Island? 🙈 (I know, serious stuff, right?) I get the fear when I look at my vastly declining bank account on … Continue reading Not for the faint hearted
Something good in every day
A few months ago, while glancing through the beautiful, pastel co-ordinated furniture and to die for martini glasses inside Oliver Bonas, I happened to come across a small, bright, eye-catching book while being momentarily distracted from ‘100 gins to try before you die…’ (Wow, I have some damage to do!) It’s completely normal for me to wonder … Continue reading Something good in every day
Festive dates for the diary in Edinburgh this December
The most wonderful time of the year has arrived once more, where it’s perfectly acceptable to eat mince pies for your breakfast, wear an offensive knitted Rudolph jumper on a Saturday night out and sing along to Mariah Carey at the top of your lungs… agreed? We all know that Christmas is a time for … Continue reading Festive dates for the diary in Edinburgh this December
Turning 30
30. Big 3-0. THIRTY. 3 decades. If someone was to ask me then, what 30 year old me would be doing now, I would have said that I’d probably be married with kids, possibly a small dog or three, living in the city... or maybe I'll move to New York or Paris! I'll have enough … Continue reading Turning 30
Inspired blogging
When I started blogging last year, it was for my own enjoyment. I love writing. I love that I can express how I feel, tell my side of the story, share my random experiences and do something that, well, makes me feel pretty damn proud. Recently, the only writing I have been actively participating in has … Continue reading Inspired blogging
