Aloha! Anyone that knows me at all knows that I absolutely LOVE Mexican food (& Drink), so when my other half mentioned he had walked past a Mexican restaurant in Glasgow that we hadn't yet tried, I had to go check it out!

Topolabamba is located at 89 Vincent Street in Glasgow City Centre, just a stones throw away from Central Station & the main shopping area. Their menu is a mix of classic Mexican dishes and street food (think Mexican tapas). The restaurant is really well decorated and had a great atmosphere (we visited on a busy bank holiday Monday!)

We opted for the express lunch menu. You pick one thing from each column for only £9.95 per person! Pretty good deal if you ask me! I didn't take pictures of all the food because I was so hungry and excited to eat it, but I went for Chicken Tinga Tacos, the Barbacoa Beef Quesadillas and the salt & chilli fries! Mikey had the Chorizo Taquitos, the Barbacoa Tortas (Which was huge btw!) and the rice!

And to drink? Well it had to be a beergarita! I've not found anywhere since being in Mexico that serves these so I was so excited to finally have them back in my life! If I closed my eyes, it was almost like being back at the beach, dipping my toes in the Caribbean sea (ahhh, bliss). 

We both absolutely loved our meal at Topolabama and we will definitely be back soon!

And Edinburgh people, don't worry, Topolabamba is opening an Edinburgh restaurant very, very soon!

Lifestyle | February Favourites

Aloha! It's been a while since I did a monthly favourites post (October to be precise), and I had great intentions of bring it back this year so here is what I have been loving in February! (Let's just pretend I didn't miss January!)

Food: I don't think I'm ever going to get sick of Mexican food! I bought an awesome Mexican and South American cookbook in a bargain bookstore after Christmas and I've been having a great time trying out some of the recipes at weekends.  

TV Show: I've just finished watching season 3 of Orange is the New Black (hurry up season 4!), but apart from that I've also been watching Love & Better Call Saul! Gotta love a Netflix original!

Song: Coldplay - Hymn for the Weekend. 

Beauty Product: At the moment, it's Biore's Charcoal Facial Cleanser. My skin has been really bad lately so it has been helping reduce blemishes and keep my skin soft!

Candle: Yankee Candle Coconut Collection No 6. This one is coconut and pineapple scented and smells just like Malibu and Pineapple. I'm starting to swing towards the summer scents now!

Event: February has been quite quiet but I had a nice night out with the girls from work in the middle of the month. Of course, Valentines Day was also fun! We didn't go out but had a really tasty Chinese takeaway instead!

Now we are into March and the countdown to Summer is on!

October Favourites

Aloha! How on earth are we into November already?! Less than 8 weeks until Christmas!

I thought it would be fun to start doing my monthly favourites post again, since I've actually managed to blog a bit more lately, so here's what I've been obsessed with in October!

Food: I am still completely obsessed with Mexican food! I made this chipotle lamb stew at the weekend for Mikey and I's anniversary dinner. It was so tasty!

TV Show: It's gotta be Downton Abbey! I am so gutted it's gonna be over soon! I am likely gonna miss the final episode as we'll be in Dublin this weekend, but hopefully I can get some wifi to watch it on my iPad! I will be crying like a baby no doubt! They better not kill any of the characters I like!

Song: At the moment, it's Adele's new song, Hello. I'm also loving Beyonce & Naughty Boy's Runnin.

Beauty Product: Benefit Porefessional. It's made such a difference to my skin. As someone who suffers with both dry and oily patches, it really is a must have for an even application of foundation.

Candle: At the moment, I've had Yankee Candle Cinnamon Stix burning almost every night! It's all about the festive candles now!

Event: October has been rather quiet for us but 2 things I've enjoyed were visiting some potential wedding venues, and our anniversary on 31st October which we spent watching TV, eating Mexican food and drinking beers!

That's all for October, now the countdown to christmas begins!

LDN // Wahaca

Aloha! Whilst I was in London last weekend, I was really craving some Mexican food, so on the recommendation of my cousin's girlfriend, we tried out Wahaca! 

Wahaca specialises in Mexican street food, where you order 2 or 3 different dishes each, much like tapas! It was co-founded by Thomasina Miers, a previous winner of Masterchef! The restaurants are dotted all over London and are quite trendy inside. The branch we visited was in Covent Garden which is the original one!

So here is what I had!

Steak Tacos £4.85 : Oh my, these were devine! My other half had pork tacos which came with the addition of a spicy marinade, which was also amazing! 

Chorizo & Potato Quesadillas £4.20 : These were definitely the best bit about the meal! There were 2 of them stacked on top of each other and they were just to die for!

Chicken Taquitos £4 : I've never tried a taquito before! It is basically a tortilla wrapped around the chicken filling then deep fried so it goes really crispy! They were really nice but I much preferred the other 2 dishes! 

Churros y Chocolate £3.95 : Oh m gee. These were amazing! Basically they are gooey doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar which you dip into chocolate sauce! I could live off these! 

And to wash it all down, I had one of these blood orange margaritas! These were rather expensive at £7.95 but totally worth it, especially if you love tequila like me! 

Overall the bill came to about £20 a head which, for London, is rather good! If I ever find myself in London again, I will definitely be making another visit to Wahaca!

Hello Everyone! I've been rather quiet this week so sorry for that! 

Here is what I've been up to this week.

I took this photo on Monday morning whilst on my way to work! How pretty is the sky? Lots of my friends had uploaded similar photos on Monday so it wasn't just me who thought this was lovely! It certainly made a dark Monday morning a bit better. 

Coffee and cake time is my favourite time of the day at work! It's usually about 3.30pm every day! 

These are my favourite chocolates to have around christmas time! You can't beat a little treat after work! 

I had an essay due on Friday which resulted in an all nighter on Thursday night! I took this photo as it accurately reflected my mood at about 11pm when all I wanted was my bed!

On Friday night we went out for Mexican food after work as our student loans were in the bank! This was my tequila sunrise cocktail! It was delicious! 

On Saturday, we stayed at my mum's house! This little monkey was trying to pinch bits of chicken out of Mikey's pasta!

This is the candle holder I was tweeting about! I got it for only £7.49 from yankeecandle.co.uk

I'm totally in love with it! 

Today I put up my christmas tree and tidied my sitting room! It was so nice to relax watching X factor with my christmas yankee candles and my tree all lit up! 

So that's all for this week! Hope you all have a lovely week :)
