Spring is playing tricks on us and the rain is back somehow, but I am fully in Spring/Summer mode and I am enjoying more colour. I switched up my makeup too and I am using more corals and pinks and my skin is definitely ready to catch some rays and enjoy more sunshine!

Travel: Edinburgh Day Out

The spending money was gifted to me by Hotels.com, but all views are my own.

I love a good staycation and we have stayed in some lovely Edinburgh hotels before, but last Saturday we headed to the capital for a day trip, with our fingers crossed for good weather. We were really lucky, as the whole car journey and the time we spent in Edinburgh were filled with sunshine and we had a fab day taking in the architecture and views. We also indulged in some yummy vegan food and delicious mocktails and checked out some shops we don't have in Glasgow (Anthropologie, Harvey Nichols etc). Perfect! 

Vitamix Pro 500 - introduction.

I have been thinking of buying a Vitamix blender/food processor for a while, so imagine my excitement when I was kindly sent the Vitamix Pro 500* to try out for a 6 month period. As you can see, I actually used it before taking photos, because I simply couldn't wait to give it a go! This post is a quick introduction, but I will be adding a proper review and many recipe post in the near future. 

AD: Interior Style Tips Based On Your Star Sign

This is a paid advertisement for fishpools.co.uk

I am always switching things up in the house and I don't think I will ever be fully happy with it, till I actually get to design my own property from scratch. From little changes like adding new art, cushions or throws, to painting the walls a different colour, I have done it all and I am always thinking of a new project. But did you know that your star sign can influence your aesthetic taste? Interesting, right?

My St Tropez Self Tanning Favourites

I was a self tan enthusiast for a long time, but in the past few years I completely stopped using it, as I just couldn't be bothered with stained clothes or bedding etc. But... last Summer I attended a St. Tropez event and was introduced to their Purity range with a clear formula and let me tell you - it's an absolute game changer and made me fall back in love with fake tan!

Are we ready to give up matte liquid lipsticks yet? I don't think so, haha. Can we welcome back other formulas into our lives? YES! Yes, please! After cold Winter months, our lips desperately need more nourishing formulas, like the new Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lips*(£19.00) and I am all about the glossy finish lately.

L'Occitane Rose EDT and Fragrance Waters

I don't own a huge selection of L'Occitane fragrances or products, but everything I have tried from the brand in the past has been incredible and I repurchased a few favourites over the years, like the Almond Shower Oil and Shea Butter Hand Cream. I also feel very sentimental about their Pivoine Delicate EDT, so it's safe to say that I was really excited to try the new Rose EDP* and Burst Of Vitality Fragrance Water* which launched in February nationwide. I think they're a perfect option for Spring/Summer and with a choice of three fragranced waters to compliment the Rose scent, there is something for everyone.

Brand Focus: Glossier

I have been meaning to write about Glossier since I first tried the brand last year, but I lost the photos I took, so I waited and waited and now I actually used up some of the products, hence the empty packaging. You know you love something, when you literally scrape every single last bit out!

Valentine's Day Gift Guide

This post features gifted items/PR samples

With not much time left for Valentine's Day, I thought I would put together a last minute gift guide for her. Whether you're single or in a relationship, it's always nice to treat yourself or be spoilt by your partner, right?

Travel: Sky Garden London

When I was planning our first proper trip to London, the Sky Garden was one of the top places I wanted to visit. Offering beautiful 360° views of London and an amazing garden in the sky as the name suggests, I simply couldn't miss it!
