Aloha! I recently joined my local gym as part of my attempts to get in shape for my wedding! I know I've got just over a year to go but knowing my track record, it could take a while!

Anyway, I didn't really have much of a gym wardrobe so I decided to have a little spending spree in the hope my gym clothes might make me look like I know what I'm doing ha ha!

So here is what I've bought! 

New Balance 'The Perfect Tank' - £22

I bought this because it matches my new trainers (which you'll see later in this post). It's super soft and comfy to wear when working out!

Adidas Climachill Tank - £9

I bought this from Very but I can't see it on their website anymore! This has climachill technology so it is nice and breathable, and keeps you cool!

Adidas 3 Stripe Leggings - £25

Because you can't beat some adidas leggings for looking great at the gym!

Puma Graphic Sports Bras - £25

These were again from Very but they don't appear to be on the site anymore. 2 sports bras for £25 was a bit of a bargain I thought! They have the same ones but in plain colours here for £38.

USA Pro Skull Leggings - £10

These are unfortunately out of stock everywhere now (I had a hard time getting them).

I saw these on xameliax's snapchat and I had to track a pair down for myself. The sugar skull print gives me the motivation to get in shape for our honeymoon (we're planning to go to Mexico).

Sweatshirt - £5.99

Trainer Socks £2.99

Both of these are from Decathlon. I was in there killing time one evening, whilst waiting for Mikey and decided to have a browse of the running section. I needed a sweatshirt as it's still bloomin freezing in Scotland on an evening! This one was a bargain and keeps me nice and cosy on late evening runs. I also needed new trainer socks so these were an essential!

Sports Bra - £5

This was a Marks & Spencer sale find! It's a little bit tight on me but I'm sure it will fit better once I lose a little bit of weight! For only £5, you can't really go wrong! It definitely keeps my assets in place!

Running Leggings - £11.99

These were a gift from my mum for Easter and are again from Decathlon. She bought this plain white tee to go with them too! These are made of a super super soft material and feel so lovely! 

New Balance Running Shoes - £32

And now for the main event! I couldn't resist buying myself some offensively bright running shoes! I'm keeping these as indoor trainers only because I don't want them to get all dirty haha! These are super cushioned inside and they are so comfy! I wish I had shoes this comfy for everyday wear!

So that's me all kitted out for the gym! Now I just need to find the energy to go! Haha!

Fashion | Spring Haul

Aloha! It's not often I spend money on clothes these days as the wedding saving is in full force, but I had a little trip to the shops with my mum a few weekends ago so I thought I'd do a little Spring Haul post!

Here is what I bought!

Jumper £12.99 - H&M

Leggings £16 - M&S

I bought these leggings for a work night out and wore them with a cream blouse which worked really well. They are super thick and comfy! I wanted a black jumper to go with them so grabbed this one in H&M. I know it's a bit late to be buying jumpers but I live in Scotland so the chances of us having a summer are slim!

Navy Blouse £5 - Primark

Black Cardigan £5 - Primark

Shoes - £6 - Primark

I bought the blouse as I have 2 navy skirts but nothing to go with them! This works well with them and was in the sale so it's a win, win! 

I always grab a black cardigan when I'm in Primark too as you can never have too many! And when it's in the sale, who can resist!

I just love the gold detailed bow on the shoes too! I needed some new black flats for when it finally gets warm enough to take my ugg boots off!

Blouse £4 - H&M

Dress £20 - Tesco

This blouse was in the H&M sale for the bargain price of £4! I've got the same blouse in like 3 different colours and this one will go really well with another of my navy skirts!

I've had my eye on this dress for weeks. Everytime I went to Tesco I would stand and admire it for ages! One day I finally gave in and bought it and I've not looked back! It's great for both work and weekend wear!

Lifestyle | Paradise Island Adventure Golf

Aloha! A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to check out Paradise Island Adventure Golf in Livingston! After quite a few weekends of sitting around the house with no plans, I was excited to get out of the house for something a bit different!

Paradise Island Adventure Golf is situated inside the Livingston Designer Outlet, just off J3 of the M8 motorway, and about a 15 minute drive from my house! It is really easy to find and there was plenty of car parking available!

Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a warm smile from the girls on the payment desk who explained a little bit about each course. We were then handed a golf club each and headed onto the first of two 18 hole courses: Barnacle Bay!

Barnacle Bay was a journey from a shipwreck through sea caves to a desert island, with lots of twists and turns along the way! I found this course to be the easier of the two, so perhaps this is the best choice is you have small kiddies in tow (if you are only playing one round of course!)

After conquering Barnacle Bay (I won!), we headed on to the Lost Lagoon! I'd say this course is for the more adventurous mini golfer in you! It certainly tested my skills with its maze of obstacles and uneven terrain through the jungle and the mysterious tomb, before reaching the monkey temple ruins! Mikey beat me on this course, despite me trying to cheat when marking his score card (teehee!)

After trying out both courses, we were both very impressed. It was a busy day at Paradise Island Adventure Golf when we visited (probably due to the cold, damp, typical Scottish weather), but we didn't get held up as both courses flowed well! In fact, we were probably the ones holding people up due to my poor putting skills!

Paradise Island Adventure Golf will definitely bring out your competitive side but it's all in good fun and something everyone can get involved in, no matter your ability or age! And to bring out your competitive side further, at the end of the 18th hole there is the ultimate challenge - the 19th Hole! Here you can attempt to get a hole in one to win yourself a free game pass.

It took us about 2 hours to work our way around both courses and we both really enjoyed ourselves! I'm sure we will be back again soon for a deciding match!

Overall, I'd highly recommend Paradise Island Adventure Golf. It's easily accessible, suitable for all ages, abilities and types of group. And even better, it is reasonably priced! 

If you are looking for something to do with the kids this weekend, or you fancy a change from your regular date night haunts, you really should check out Paradise Island Adventure Golf!
