The Big Move


Hello beautiful weekend. Boy, am I glad to see you....

This week has been, or at least felt like, one of the busiest weeks of my life and I couldn't be happier that the weekend has arrived. The Boy and I have been getting organised to move into my old place together (mini woop for moving out *woop woop*) and I'm not gonna lie, it's been a teeny tad stressful. Honestly, who knew how exhausting a little DIY could be!

The house is finally coming together and we should hopefully be moving in next week - eeek!

As you can imagine, I've been completely obsessed with all things home interior since we decided to move so wanted to share a little home inspo. I love rooms with neutral colours so have stuck to a white and grey palette in the house and plan on adding in some gold accents in the bedroom and silver in the living room. I've been taking snaps on my phone of the progress and plan on sharing a kind of before and after post but until then here's some pretty Pinterest shots of what has been inspiring me....







I can't wait until we're all moved in. Until then, I'm off to interior heaven in the form of Ikea. Bedroom drawers are on the 'must-buy' list....

Happy Weekend!

March moments


I know I’m a little behind schedule to post this…, well, nine days to be exact (seriously though, where did the beginning of April go?!) but I wanted to share a collection of photos from last month. Every day throughout the month of March I posted a photo to an app I recently downloaded called Project 365. If anyone on your Facebook or Instagram has taken part in the 100 Days of Happiness fad then I’m sure you’ll know what this is all about but for those who don’t, lemme explain….it goes something like...
  1. Find something in your day that makes you happy.
  2. Take a photo of said something.
  3. Upload to Project 360.
  4. Eat. Sleep.Rave (optional). Repeat.
  5. And you’re done. Simples.
I decided to take up the challenge after watching a video Ingird Nilsen (or MissGlamorazzi) posted on her YouTube channel about capturing the moments in your life. I really loved this little video and everything she captured in it so decided I wanted to give it a try for myself.  Since I don’t carry a vlogging camera around with me on a daily basis (or ever for that matter) I thought I would do mine through snaps!

So, here is my month of March in moments ….


1. Heading to a fundraiser organised by my friend Annie. In case you're wondering, no, I never took home any prizes #boo
2. Trying to be healthy with yoghurt, berries and honey - I decided to use a cinnamon honey I was handed as a trial. Let's just say I never used this combination again....
3.Shopping in Paperchase and admiring these HAUGE flowers!
4. Setting up the #Stripey sweet table at the Scottish Food & Drink event

5. Pretty view from the bus when leaving work in Leith
6. A little pamper night with my Origins mask #sexy
7. Night out with my gorgeous BFF
8. Slumber party with my besties! Can we do this again, please?
 9. Mr sleepy head
10. Pretty sunset from my side mirror - probably not the safest while driving but look how pretty....
11. Birthday cake! Always space for cake!
12. #DebsSS15

13. I had to capture my little brother's victory dance he performed after winning his game #sweetpea
14. A night at my sisters for Mother's Day. We headed to the cinema then enjoyed Drumstick cocktails!
15. Breakfast the next day....I love a food pic....
16. The most DELICIOUS cheesecake from Waitrose!! I'm so addicted to cheesecake right now which ain't good for the summer bod.
17. Usher at The Hydro!
18. Eating my favourite ice-cream from Queen's Park Cafe #No1
19. Took these two monkeys to the park.
20. A walk up Tinto park in the freezing cold rain probably wasn't our best idea but at least the view was pretty. Me falling in the mud was not.
21. A sunny day = a walk in the park. Gosh, I'm old.
22. Our unexpected little night in the Burgh!
23. I'm moving back to my old place in Giffnock next month which conveniently happens to be in the top places to live list #score
24. Say hello to baby Jack!
25. A yummy big cookie cake - unfortunately my cookie loving fingers couldn't touch this one!
26. Working at the Junk Kouture Grand Final. Think couture dresses made from broken glass and recycled cans.
27. Glasgow team night out at the best burger joint in town ....Burger Meats Bun
28. New nails, finally!
29. Baby Jack wearing his cute bunny slippers I bought him! 
30. Setting up the Junk Kouture window display at Buchanan Galleries
31. Last day in our old office. 

It's so nice to be able to look back over what I got up to in March - me and my fish memory aren't great at remembering things. It's shocking really. 

I love the little things in life and doing something as silly as taking a picture of it helps to appreciate them. I'm going to try and keep this up so here is to an April moments post. Fingers crossed.
