There’s something about the phrase “new year’s resolution” that makes me nervous. It always feels like there’s a lot of pressure. Besides, I make “resolutions” at all times of year, and when I don’t name them as such they seem a lot easier to keep. I don’t like this attitude of looking at all the… Continue reading 2018 Goals/Resolutions
July is already over? How? No! Bring it back! Ugh. Ok, it has been a busy month and it’s now time to look back and summarise what’s been going on. Here we go! Financial status: Ok, kind of iffy. Afterall, I did only work from the 17th of July this month. I’ve got enough savings to… Continue reading July roundup
I admit The Devil Wears Prada is not a book that I expected to read quite so soon. Sure, it was on my Kindle, so obviously I expected to read it eventually, and I enjoyed the movie, so I even expected to enjoy it, but it wasn’t at the top of my to read list. I… Continue reading Book review: The Devil Wears Prada
Today I’m attending a graduation ball*. It’s my second one. Last time I was graduating with my MSci in Physics and I knew basically the entire graduating class. This year, most of us who picked up MScis last time around are now collecting their PhDs. Seriously, most of them – although several went to other… Continue reading Grad ball outfit plans
Last month I tried writing a round up for the first time, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. It worked, I liked writing it, and I think it fits nicely with my Trying New Things posts, so I’m doing it again this month. Without any further ado, here’s my April round up: Financial… Continue reading April round up
It’s nearly Mothers’ Day! At least, in the UK it is. Here we’ll be celebrating mothers and grandmothers on Sunday 26th March and quite right too. Since that’s just over 2 weeks away, I thought I’d put together a quick gift guide of things your mother might like, at least she will if she’s anything… Continue reading Mothers’ Day gift guide
I’m never 100% sure how I feel about “haul” posts but this time of year they seem to be everywhere on people’s blogs. I don’t want to come across as if I’m bragging about how good Santa was to me, but I do want to come across as grateful, which I am. Certainly, I’ve received all… Continue reading Exciting new things I got for Christmas
The Lifestyle Lab isn’t something I’d heard of at all until about a month ago. Possibly this is because they’re situated in the Central Chambers, above street level, near Glasgow Central Station. I must have walked past the building a thousand times, never guessing what was inside. At the moment, this problem is compounded by… Continue reading Shaking up my style at the Lifestyle Lab
I am not a good shopper. I tend to wear my clothes until it’s no longer decent to do so, except on the rare occassions where they stop fitting me or I start to hate them for some reason, in which case I will donate them. It’s not unusual for me to put on a… Continue reading Personal shopping
I know everyone thinks they have the best friends in the world but unless we happen to share the same friends, I’m afraid that you might be wrong. I’m constantly presented with evidence that my friends are the best friends (although I will concede that it’s possible I haven’t met all the friends I’ll ever… Continue reading Vintage coat
