It's been a while I know buuuut I wanted to actually have something to write about!

My Auntie, who lives in London, came up for a wee visit this week which was nice! I haven't seen her since last January which is just crap! Anyway, she came up, we swapped Christmas/birthday presents etc... lots of cupcake related things and jewellery for me - the woman knows me well! Got 3 new charms for my bracelet and some gorgeous black coral earrings from Mexico :) LOVELOVELOVE!

We went to IKEA on Thursday as I would like a new desk for my room as mine is wrecked! I hate IKEA.. It just gives me a headache! Didn't manage to get a desk, I need to measure my room and have a proper think about it as I want something that's going to last me a long long time -  not something that I'll get bored of in 3 years. The only thing I got was a wee piping set - I know it's IKEA but I've had some baking stuff from them before and it's actually really good quality at a brilliant price.. win-win situation!

We didn't really do much else while she was up, just relaxed, chatted, I tidied my room, it was a nice few wee days :)

My Auntie went home on Friday... Back down to London. I had this masquerade party so went hunting for a mask up and down Morningside - they had nothing! I bought a sparkly top hat instead which I didn't even wear...

Anyway on to the party - it was awesome! Caught up with a few people I haven't seen since school and met some new people too. Left early to go get chips... Which, as I wasn't allowed to eat them in the cab, I ended up eating in my bed (because I'm THAT amazing). Had a really nice cab driver as well, chatted the whole way home. I love cabbies like that, it makes the fare worth it when they actually have a personality!

This morning I had a work trial at a local cattery. It snowed overnight so needless to say that a mile trek through the snow, in my trainers, with a hangover, was not the most pleasant thing I have ever experienced! However, the wee cattery (I say "wee" - it can hold up to 140 cats in individual chalets, not including if the cats are sharing!), was so nice, everyone was so friendly and it satisfies my "crazy cat lady"-ness :D

That's about it really, it's been a busy few days but a good few days! Next week will be more mental so expect lots of new blog posts!

Bye for now loves!

It's been a bit of a mixed day for me. Full of triumph and disaster!

Firstly, triumph: Now, I know it's not exactly a difficult thing to do but I made a wee quiche today. I've been promising my Mum I'd make her one for about a month now and today I finally got off my bum and made it!

Here is the proof for all you non-believers ;):

(The "burnt looking black bits" are mushrooms.)

The triumph is more related to me actually feeling motivated to do something for a change, the last few months haven't been the best health wise, which as some of you will know can knock your motivation flat on its arse! I felt it was quite an achievement as I haven't felt like baking for a while, which isn't me at all!

Now on to disaster, as I was feeling very girly today I decided to don a dress. It's one of my favourite dresses and I'm sure a lot of you would recognise it. However, what I did not realise today, was just how windy it was... I went out to feed my Auntie's cats (she's away on holiday) and as I got out the car my dress decided to defy gravity. Just at this point about 6 cars decided to drive past me... Thus: humiliation. It's safe to say I won't be wearing this dress in windy weather again!

That's about all for today loves, away to see my best friend and his sexy new 3D TV tonight!

Hello (currently non-existent) follower people.

I have a masquerade party next week, so me and my friend decided to go into town today to go for a wee hunt for a mask. Every single shop that sells masks was shut. What is up with that?! Every. Single. Shop. I must admit I'm quite disappointed with the shops in town as it now means I have to trek my way in later this week when I have other things to do!

It was at least a slightly productive day though, we managed to get our friend a present for his birthday so that's at least one thing off my to do list!

I also got the (not so) new BarryM Nail Effects Nail Paint - the one that crackles when you put it on. I was slightly sceptical as I haven't heard amazing reviews of it. However, I applied it not long after I got home and I have to say... I love it! It looks so different and each nail has a unique "pattern" on it. Don't think I'll be returning to "plain" nails anytime soon!

Also picked up a couple of the MUA products (£1 per item at Superdrug). For cheap drug-store make up their products are pretty good quality. Their eyeshadows are very pigmented and don't fade at all, even if worn all day and at such a low price I'd say that's pretty impressive!

That's all for today loves, just a wee quickie ;)
