Free Days Out in Edinburgh

After living in Edinburgh for over three years and barely doing anything 'touristy', I decided this year to take advantage of the free tourist attractions. I have listed my top five places that I love to go to time and time again. The advantage of many of these places is that they change throughout the year. For example the National Galleries have lots of different exhibitions, displays and events on all year round. 1. Royal Botanic Garden The gardens are located on  Arboretum Place, which is only a ten minute bus ride from the city centre. It is free entry all year around but if you would like to visit the Glasshouses then entry is £7 for adults. This is by far my favourite place to visit no matter what the time of year is, its so relaxing to walk around such beautiful scenery and there is also a shop and cafe where you can get a nice hot drink if you're feeling the cold.  2. Scottish National Gallery The Scottish National Gallery is located on the Mound right in...

Collaboration with Abbott Lyon (AL)

Make It Personal This Christmas  A few weeks ago I received an email from AL asking if I would be interested in a collaboration for their Make It Personal Christmas Campaign. I am so happy to be working with their team and have been gifted the  most beautiful watch (see below for some pictures) in exchange for me promoting their collection which comes with the option of personalised engraving. I also can now share my code EG30 with my Instagram followers and readers of this blog which will get you 30% off all purchases! This code is also valid for their range for men. In this blog post I've added my favourite products of their website which I think would be great Christmas presents. PRESENTS FOR HER: 1. Silver Chain Kensington Watch £109 AL watches come with a two year guarantee and this watch has dial water resistance. It is available to engrave for an extra £15 and it is made from stainless steel bezel with an interchangeable stainless steel silver plate...

Christmas Gift Ideas

With Christmas fast approaching many people are already halfway through their gift shopping now. I on the other hand have not bought a single present yet! Therefore I thought today I would spend the day browsing every site imaginable and list my favourite gift ideas. Here's ten to choose from (I hope you like at least one!) 1. Airpods £159 Now this is on the more expensive side but this is a great present for friends or family members who always listen to music. The most basic Airpods start at £159 and have up to five hours of listening time before needing charged. If you have some extra money to spend on this special someone then it is worth looking at the Airpods Pro at £249, these come with a free engraving option, are sweat and water resistant and have a customisable fit. 2. Lush Santa's Grotto Gift Set £38 We all have one friend who is constantly posting their bath time on their Instagram stories and this gift is perfect for people who need some pampering! Thi...

Winter Must Haves

The past month has been dark, cold and depressing to say the least. For this reason I decided for my first blog post to write about my winter must haves. It may not make winter go any faster but these items will keep you cosy and fashionable. I've chosen items that I personally love and think can be worn time and time again, as well as being styled in different ways. Click on the links for further information and let me know what you think! 1. Teddy Bear Coat This style of coat has been popular for the past couple years now with almost every fashion influencer owning at least one style. Retailers such as Missguided and ASOS have plenty to choose from, whether you would like full or short length, black or a brighter colour and they are affordable prices as well! Missguided Tan Oversized Borg Teddy Coat £45.50 This coat is three quarter length so will cover your bum, keeping you cosy and is currently reduced from £65! It also comes in different colours including white, pink...
