Not ready to let go of Summer scents

I feel like we didn't really have a Summer in the UK, so I am still trying to cling on to some Summer scents and a bit of sparkle, before I transition into autumnal options. I am absolutely obsessed with the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess EDP* and I am also adding a nice glow to my skin with the Radiant Shimmering Body Oil*

Glasgow Day Out (Science Centre, Jamie's Italian + Buchanan Galleries).

As we are now back in Scotland, I thought I would finally share our day out in Glasgow which happened over a month ago, but I simply didn't have time to talk about it. We visited the Science Centre which Zachary absolutely loved, followed by lunch at Jamie's Italian and a spot of shopping at Buchanan Galleries.

Travel: Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens

We're currently on holiday, but I found some time to catch up with my blog and I found this blog post saved in my drafts- our Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens photo diary. We went a few times and I absolutely love it there. With or without kids, it's an amazing place to visit if you're in Edinburgh and the entry is free.

Shimmer and Glow with Tropic Skincare

 Even though the Summer is almost over, I am not ditching shimmering body oils, golden highlighters and SPF. I love a bit of glow, regardless of the season and SPF is essential all year round as well.

Too Faced Love Light Highlighter in shade Ray Of Light (review +swatches)

As a self confessed highlighter addict, I get far too excited about trying new options. This Too Faced Prismatic Love Light Highlighter*(£25.00) in shade Ray Of Light has been my go to for the past two months and I cannot get enough of it! Even my 2 year old is obsessed and asks for 'sparkle', haha.

Jurassic Kingdom and Tea-Rex Party (Glasgow Botanic Gardens)

Keeping a 6 year old amused is becoming harder and harder, as he finds a lot of stuff boring, so I was really keen to take him to the Jurassic Kingdom at Glasgow Botanic Gardens to see some real size dinosaurs and attend an opening party with a special guest Dr Neil Clark, the Hunterian Museum’s Curator of Palaeontology.

Fashion: A touch of silver with new DW watches

I've been so obsessed with rose gold, that I ended up with a collection of watches in one colour. I realised that it was time to add some silver arm candy to my collection when I was looking for something  to match my rings and I only had one option. Daniel Wellington is my go to brand for watches and these beauties are my recent additions.

TRAVEL: Emma Bridgewater Factory Tour

Last but not least... I am sharing part 3 of my Emma Bridgewater experience - the factory tour! We have booked it separately, as the day packages were all sold out on the date I wanted and at a cost of £2.50 per person which is then redeemable against factory shop purchases - it is the most amazing deal!

TRAVEL: Princes Street Suites Edinburgh

Hi everyone. I love reviewing hotels on the blog, so when we were asked to take part in a Kidsadvisor campaign with Princes Street Suites Edinburgh, we jumped at the chance.

Glasgow Day Out: Kimble's breakfast, St Enoch Centre, Kelvingrove Museum, Baffo Lunch and Riverside Museum.

I recently got a very exciting email from Glasgow Life, inviting me, my husband and the kids to take part in two days out in Glasgow, packed with activities for the little ones and some yummy food. We couldn't say no! Here's day 1 our little adventure.

Emma Bridgewater Decorating Studio & Garden

As promised, here is part two of my Emma Bridgewater experience. We booked the Decorating Studio session separately, as there was no spaces left for the full day package, but I am actually glad we did it this way. I had so much fun decorating my own pieces and I want to do it again! I am also including loads of pictures of the gorgeous garden! Enjoy!

Home decor: New living room additions.

Our living room is absolutely massive, so we had to fill it with loads of furniture and decor bits to make it feel homely. Our walls were still pretty bare though, so I was very excited to add some new prints from Desenio to make them look more aesthetically pleasing.
