Aloha! June was a long, tiring and very busy month for me! So much has happened, and there are still some exciting things to come! So here is my monthly summary!

Right at the start of the month, we got the keys to our new flat! We've moved just outside Edinburgh as we can get more space for our money, and so far it's been great! Look out for some homeware posts as I spend some of the vouchers we got as engagement presents! 

The second weekend in June was the local racecourse's ladies day. I'd never been before and my mum and auntie have been talking about going for years! So this year we decided to get tickets! It was a good day out, despite it being possibly the coldest June day ever! This photo was taken in the limo (fancy, I know) as we dropped my auntie off. This is my little cousin Riley :) 

Then, I found out I'll be graduating with a 2:1 in law next week! Woohoo! I can't believe uni is actually over! It's been a long, but rewarding 4 years! 

Then I finished off the month doing what I do best...drinking cocktails! 

And now it is July! This month has some more exciting things in store, namely my birthday! As well as graduation, and some other big changes!

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!

A little slice of December

This post is a little later than usual, but here is my roundup of December!

1- The start of the month saw lots of Uni deadlines! This meant I spent the majority of my time in the library! I was so happy when the Christmas Break came around. Unfortunately it is now over, and it's time to get back to it for my last semester ever! 

2- After all my deadlines, I went out to celebrate with a group of my close uni friends! It was a great night! 

3- Before I knew it, it was Christmas day! I was so lucky to receive lots of lovely gifts! You can find my post on what I got for Christmas HERE

4- Of course, the Christmas break meant lots of lazy days spent snuggled up with Smudge! Here he is hogging the covers! 

So that was December. I would say it is my favourite month, once the uni deadlines are out the way! It was such a quick month and before I knew it, we were into 2015! 

What did you get up to in December?

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 :)

A little slice of November

It seems like just yesterday I was writing my October roundup post! But here we are at the 1st of December! So here is my round up of this month! 

1 & 2 - November saw me making a little trip north, to Aberdeen to see my best friend! We had a lovely weekend catching up and doing the things we love. I also got to meet her lovely fella! 

3- I also got most of my Christmas shopping done! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work though! 

4- I got my grades back for the 2 assignments I completed in October! Both were very good marks so I treated myself to my favourite chocolate to celebrate!

5- Coffee was very much needed in November to get me through those dark winter mornings and coursework! This was my first starbucks red cup! 

6- The month wouldn't be complete without a picture of Smudge! 

1- My dissertation proposal was due in near the end of the month! It resulted in a very late night, and me being 2 hours late for work then next morning. Oops

2- I made my first trip to Primark in quite a few months. These cosy slippers were my favourite purchase! You can find my Primark Haul Here 

3- I also made a little trip to IKEA where I bought more candles! 

4- And finally, here is Edinburgh all lit up for Christmas. I've already been to the winter wonderland twice and I'm sure there will be many more visits to come! 

So that was November! I'm sure it will be time to write the next one before I know it! But for now it's time to get excited for Christmas!!

Hello Everyone! Another relatively unexciting week this week! Here is my roundup of this week in photos! 

This week I had to hand in the research proposal for my dissertation! Of course I had left it til the last minute! Copious amounts of coffee were required but I got it handed in on time! Now to await the results! 

This week I had a little trip to Primark to pick up a few things for Christmas! I've not got too much to buy now! I picked up these cosy slippers for myself since my ones are practically ruined! These are very similar to the Ugg slippers I've had my eye on but at a fraction of the price! They will keep my toes cosy until I can save up for the real ones! 

As usual, most of this week was also spent at work! This cute sainsbury's carrier bag brightened up my morning! 

                                     

All the presents I had ordered online all arrived on the same day! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work! :( 

On Saturday, I went to visit my mum for a few hours. She's heading off to Thailand next week so I was helping her with booking travel insurance online! Smudge was also trying to help! Poor Smudge has been balding on his tummy recently so unfortunately a trip to the vets is in order this week :( 

Today we headed out to Ikea. I was only supposed to be going for a lamp for my sitting room but I couldn't resist these scented candles! They were only 95p each and burn for 25 hours! That's pretty good value for money! 

So that is about all for this week! Next week will be a little more relaxed! Uni teaching is finished for Christmas (we still have 2 essays to hand in though!) so at least we get a little lie in! 

Have a great week everyone!

A little slice of October

October was a pretty busy month! Here is a round-up of what I got up to! Unfortunately there's not many photos!  

1- October saw me finally getting a new toy! I went for the gold iPhone 6 and so far, I love it! 

2- In the middle of the month, we saw the amazing Billy Connolly live at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. I cried with laughter from beginning to end! 

3- As usual, October was a very busy month for Uni work! Now to get working on the dissertation and December coursework! 

4- And the perfect end to a busy month! Our anniversary weekend. You can read more about that here

Hello Everyone! A little later than I would have liked, but here is this week's Sunday Post!

This week has been pretty full on with uni work! I had an assigment deadline on Thursday which very helpfully clashed with a presentation day! I took the week off work to get everything done which was such a good idea! Thankfully I've got a few weeks now before the next deadline! Some time to focus on getting some blog posts up! 

Friday marked 3 years since my other half and I got together! (Yes we got together at a halloween party!) I was whisked off to a posh hotel near loch lomond! We had a lovely wee break together! I'll put up a post in more detail next week! 

On Saturday we visited a small village on the banks of Loch Lomond. We had some tasty lunch in a cute little cafe before heading back to Edinburgh! 

This was our lovely home for Friday Night. Ughhh take me back now! 

Today has been spent writing a horrible report on my presentation! Of course I wasted the day by sleeping until lunchtime! Silly me! Now I better get back to finishing my report and get to bed for work tomorrow! 

Have a great week!

A new term, a new bag!

So uni goes back in less than 2 weeks time, and what better excuse to buy a new bag for carrying all my books about in! Having just invested in a macbook pro, it had to be big enough to fit this in, plus a notebook and a textbook. My friend owns a small handbag stall next to my work and she sells loads of these gorgeous tote bags! It's the perfect size for getting all my things in it and it even comes with a little pouch for inside the bag to keep keys/phone/perfume/purses etc from getting lost! And an even better bonus, it has a long clip on strap for turning it into an over the shoulder bag too! 

So obviously i couldn't resist this (not just because it's orange!)

If you live in Edinburgh, please go and visit Sands Fashion in the Gyle Shopping Centre. You won't be disappointed with your purchase!
