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

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

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
Move over, January blues
January. Here again, are we? Where did you come from? And what did you do to the jolly old me I knew just a few weeks ago? I know I'm not the only one out there who has inevitably drained the Prosecco pool dry, consumed every last chocolate crumb and shovelled every last existing morsel … Continue reading Move over, January blues
It’s been fun, December
From mulled wine to mistletoe, tinsel to turtle doves, the most wonderful season of them all is coming to a close and getting ready to rest up for another year. It’s been a month to remember and boy, did it go off with a 'pop!' I don't know about you, but December is my ultimate … Continue reading It’s been fun, December
No waiting dating
In my mind, when someone utters the taboo words ‘speed dating’ I tend to envisage a very formal bar, laden with cocktails and canapés, filled with men and women who have turned up straight from work with pristine shirts and immaculate hair, coyly trying to suss each other out from across the room. It might … Continue reading No waiting dating
She would blog
As a young woman, in her mid to late... OK, almost 30's, I often look back on my last decade with fondness, laughter, appreciation... additionally sheer disbelief that I am now 28 years of age. Where has the time gone? What is this age that has been bestowed upon me? What am I even DOING … Continue reading She would blog
