Hello Everyone!
Apologies for the lack of posts the last few weeks! I've been attempting to get my Uni coursework done and it's kinda taken over! I've still got one essay to go which is due on Tuesday so hopefully everything will be back to normal after then!
This post is a little random but I wanted to introduce you all to my little fur baby (who's actually a senior citizen!)

This is Smudge! He's almost 13 years old and has lived with me for the last 10 years! He was abandoned by his previous owners as a kitten and managed to stray for over a year before being put into a cat shelter. When I was 12 I decided I wanted a cat and despite dad saying no, mum took me to the cat shelter to have a little look. I had a wander around and this boys story broke my heart. How could anyone leave a harmless little cat for dead?! I was allowed into his pen to stroke him but he wasn't so keen and tried to scratch me. Despite this, I was determined he would be mine so we took him home the following weekend (Dad wasn't impressed but the ladies in the house overruled him). Ever since that day, he has been my best friend. He follows me everywhere and is constantly curled up in my lap, purring away. I'm definitely his favourite! Smudge has fueled my obsession for all things cat (you might notice I like to buy cat print clothes, socks etc), and I regularly get called the crazy cat lady but I don't care! Smudge means the world to me and I'm honoured to have given him the life he deserves after such a sad start! 

Do you have a special fur baby in your life? I'd love to hear some stories about your pets, just leave me a comment below :) xx 

TheSundayPost #4

Hope everyone has had a great week! Mine has been eventful to say the least!

1- Pancake Tuesday! I love pancakes. I was very proud of this perfect shaped one that I managed to make. :)

2 & 3- On Wednesday, I was looking after my cheeky little cousin! We went to the duck pond and saw these lovely ducks. The second picture is him running around in my UGG's! Little monkey!

4- Unfortunately, on Wednesday evening I took unwell and ended up in hospital after having breathing problems. All was okay after some oxygen and antibiotics :)

5- Thursday was spent in my hospital bed. This was the view from my bed! Isn't it lovely? That's Edinburgh castle btw (just for anyone who was wondering).

6- I wrote a little Lush review on Saturday after getting out of hospital. You can find that HERE

This was today's antics. We went to IKEA to get some storage boxes for our rather large, messy cupboard. I decided to buy a huge one for my shoe collection! As you can see, it is so big that I fit in it! The other half doesn't quite fit but he enjoyed using it as a chair to watch the rugby from! 

I ended the night with Sunday dinner at my parent's house. Dad treated us all to a tub of ice cream from a very famous ice cream shop near our house! It was lovely! 

So that was my week! What have you been up to this week?

Lush Brightside Bubble Bar

Hello Everyone! Apologies for the lack of blog posts this week. I have had a little stint in hospital this week thanks to a pretty nasty lung infection but I'm home now and resting up in bed!
After I arrived home last night, I decided I needed a nice relaxing bath to refresh myself! I used half of my brightside bubble bar which I bought in my latest lush haul. I picked this because of the tangerine oil in it. I always find when I'm feeling a bit rubbish, that citrus fruits make me feel a little better. This was no different!

The smell was just amazing! And my bath was a gorgeous bright orange colour. I cut this in half so I can get more than one use from it. I find you don't need a whole bubble bar for one bath. 

This is definitely worth the money and I will be sure to stock up on this before it is discontinued! 

You can buy this bubble bar HERE! I would definitely recommend it :)

TheSundayPost #3

Hello Everyone! Hope you've had a lovely week! Things have been pretty quiet with me this week again, with work and uni taking over once again! I did get up to a few things though!
On Tuesday, my partner and I went to Glasgow for a small shopping trip!

It was our first day off together in about 4 weeks so it was lovely to spend some time together! You can find my haul post from that day here.

So, apart from Tuesday this week has been pretty boring. I watched lion king for the 10 millionth time (it's my favourite film). The picture in the middle made me laugh for well over an hour on monday morning. Saddo I know! 

I took my granny to get her hair cut on wednesday and we saw the infamous Edinburgh tram on the move in the city centre for the first time! 

The weekend revolved around early starts at work, of course! 

And the final picture is me and my boy, smudge! I'm going to do a little post about him soon. He's very special to me! This is his new favourite place to sleep, around my neck! 

So that is all that I've been up to this week, really! 

I'll leave you all with this funny picture I saw on twitter! 

Hehehehe! This made me giggle! Have a lovely Monday everyone! And don't forget my giveaway ends tomorrow at midnight! You can enter HERE if you haven't already done so!

Forever 21, Primark and Lush Haul

Hey guys! The other half and I finally had a day off together today so we took a little trip through to Glasgow for some shopping! I wasn't planning on spending much money but that plan didn't last long at all!

Forever 21
We don't have a forever 21 in Edinburgh so whenever I'm in Glasgow I always spend a fortune in here!

Top £7.95

I'd seen this cute cat print top online a few days ago and I was desperate to have it so I was delighted the Glasgow store had it in my size! If you read my blog regularly you will know I love anything cat related so I obviously am in love with this! 

Leggings- £4

These cute spot leggings were only £4! I don't have spotty leggings already and I'm really loving the black and white monochrome trend right now so I'm sure I will get plenty wear out of these! 

Boots £14.99, Cardigan £13.99 (On BOGOF promotion)

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how amazing this deal is?! I've been looking for a pair of black, heeled cowgirl boots for ageeees! I couldn't believe it when I spotted these! They are perfect! They only had one pair left which was my size and they even fit over my chunky calves! So happy! 

And I'm sure I'll use the cardigan lots too especially with it being black and white haha! 

Cardigan £7

I was very impressed with the price of Forever 21's basic cardigans. They feel like great quality and are so soft! I picked up this baby pink one as I'm really loving the colour just now! 

Primark

Dress £10

Only one purchase from Primark today (shocker I know!) This cute tartan dress is the same fit as the red and blue one I bought in december! I've worn that one loads so I know this one will look great too! 

Lush

Golden Egg £3

Spacegirl £2.25

Fluffy Egg £2.95

The Brightside £4.50

Of course, the day wouldn't be complete without a little trip to lush! They have all their easter stock in now which led to me getting very excited in the shop! I spent ages chatting away to the sales girl, which led to the other half getting bored and waiting outside for me! Anyway I settled on these four products. I can't wait to try these out! I'm going for a bath straight after I've finished this post just so I can use one of these! If you get a chance, definitely go check out Lush's new stock!

So that was my rather large haul from today! Hope you enjoyed reading this. Don't forget I've got a little giveaway going on right now where you could win 5 yankee candle votives! You can enter that HERE! :) xx
