Aloha! Today I've got a little post about a new Mexican restaurant which has opened up in Edinburgh, called Pinto. I absolutely love Mexican food and this place lived up to all my expectations! And want to know the best thing? It's really affordable! They do an amazing deal where you get any meal, with 2 margaritas or 2 bottled beers for just £10. Bargain or what? 

I had the Baracoa Beef Burrito which was so tasty! They manage to pack your choice of filling, rice, pinto beans, salsa (you choose the spice level), cheese and sour cream into this wrap! It is really filling and even better washed down with a few margaritas! 

I can definitely see me being a regular customer here! And if you don't live in Edinburgh don't worry! They have 3 branches in Glasgow too! 

If you decide you fancy a little tipple after your meal, you can head right across the road to a little bar called Heads & Tales. As you can see below, you can pick your gin, flavour and glass size and they make it into an amazing cocktail! 

I went for Caorunn Gin, Grape flavour and a Highball glass and this was the result! It was delicious! If you are looking for a good cocktail bar in Edinburgh, I highly recommend this place!

New Yankee Candles

Aloha! The start of April saw the launch of 5 new Yankee Candle scents! Of course, I had to rush out and buy them to try as soon as they hit my local store! I only got the tarts of course, because 5 large jars would be a bit excessive!

Wild Sea Grass - This one is difficult to describe but Yankee say it smells of grass and sand! It is a lovely fresh scent for summer!

Beach Holiday - This one I love! It smells like fabric softener and the seaside! I love it! 

Pain au Raisin - This one is the first in the new cafe culture range. It smells like cinnamon, vanilla and a little bit of rum! Haha! 

Tarte Tatin - This one is also gorgeous. Smells just like apple strudel! Yummy! 

Cappuccino Truffle - This is probably my favourite one! It smells like coffee and chocolate, my 2 favourite things!! I'm actually burning this one as I write this and it's filled my front room with a lovely chocolately goodness! Yum! 

If you haven't tried these yet, you definitely need to!

Life Lately

Aloha & Happy Easter! I am back after a long month break from blogging. It wasn't intentional, just life and uni got in the way, and I've had no time to write any posts! 

So, I thought it would be good to do a little post about what's been going on lately since there have been no Sunday posts or anything!

I went blonde! Well kind of. It's blonde highlights but there's so many of them that I look very blonde when my hair is down! I was really unsure to begin with but I actually love it now!

There was a solar eclipse. I was working on the day of the eclipse but I managed to sneak this photo whilst hanging out my office window haha!

My beautiful baby niece was born on the 29th March! I made up this little hamper for her arrival. It was so much fun to do and her parents loved it! Her name is Elsbeth for anyone wondering! 

My dissertation took over my life. And it also resulted in me getting a lovely cold! It is all done and submitted now so normality can resume. Well, until exams begin at the end of the month! Not long to go before I head out into the big bad world, no longer a student! :( 

So that is pretty much everything I have to report from March! Hopefully I won't have such a large blogging break again! I missed writing my posts!
