Does A Stitch In Time Really Save Nine? *
It’s come to that time of year again where people start thinking about Halloween costumes, for me it’s been a long time since I personally had to think of my own Halloween costume. Last year I had Little Miss who was dressed as a very cute make shift pumpkin fairy, the year before I was heavily pregnant. Before that I went through a phase of following the Mean Girls “slut” rule, back then I very much had the body for it so it’s been quite a while since I dressed up for Halloween in more than a pair of animal ears from Claires. Thankfully I didn’t have to really put…

#218 Biotherm Blue Therapy Night Serum-In-Oil Review
These days I feel there is so much more emphasis on using anti aging products from a young age but I have to admit I never even considered it until I started blogging last year. I think the main reason for this is because my mum doesn’t, she swears only by Nivea Soft and Johnsons Clean & Clear. That is the extend of her beauty regime and I have to admit, she doesn’t look bad for 52. Unfortunately, since becoming a single parent, or simply a parent, I have noticed that I look tired all the time, actually the only word to describe how I look when I don’t have…

#215 Shopping Spotlight – Bits and Bows Boutique
WARNING, this is an outfit post.. and we all know how dreadful I look in outfit posts. I really can’t decide if it’s because my camera is rubbish, my tripod isn’t tall enough, I have no good lights, I’m rubbish or I’m just not photogenic. But anyway, here are some rubbish photos as ever. In January I am going to take a proper camera course and hopefully by then I’ll be able to afford a DSLR to take with my to class. But for today… I have more photos that do not justify the lovely dress. The outfit is completely Jess Day of New Girl inspired, as I’m currently addicted…

Autumn Favourites
Now we’re into October, autumn is in full swing. Coffee shops are advertising everything with some form of spice, the Christmas catalogs are released in shops and we close our curtains before the little ones are even in bed! I’ve found myself putting the fire on for a little while every day, putting extra blankets on the bed and even going in to check Little Miss is well covered up while she sleeps. I have no hope of seeing any more summer weather now, this is the first year in a while we haven’t had a real hot spell before it gets cold and yeah I’m sad my sandals are…

Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh Presents, Smokehouse
A week past Thursday I was invited up to Edinburgh’s branch of the Hard Rock Cafe, this time to learn more about and experience their Smokehouse menu. As I made clearer in my restaurant review back in May, I love The Hard Rock Cafe as it’s something my dad introduced my sister and I to from a young age. So I was really excited to get a behind the scenes look at how the Smokehouse range comes together on the plate. I had a plus one for the event so I invited my fav Scot Kirsty from Indigo Buttons to come with me, I hadn’t seen her since February! On…
