Dream Catch Me When I Fall

Hellooo! So I have been home from Rockness for just over a week and it is just a total blur! I can't quite believe I was actually there (and I can't believe how lucky we were with the weather!) For my first ever festival it was just amazing fun. Am hooked and will be back next year!


Here are some of my favourite highlights...

 Wellie boots, an absolute must! Even though there was no mud I wore them all the time! 


All SMILES!


Some of my favourite bands - Lianne la Havas, Camera Obscura, Bombay Bicycle club and Dog is Dead.


But Newton Faulkner, by far was my most favourite. His performance of Dream Catch Me was just magic, I wont ever forget it.


Example on the main stage...


The best tasting Domino Pizza eva!


This photo was taken on the last morning I spent on the campsite, I couldn't sleep, so went for a walk and the view was breathtaking. Makes me proud to be Scottish (yes now I'm going to watch Brave and broaden my accent haha!)


But me and my best friend Eilidh had so much fun! The pair of us met at secondary school and were pretty much inseparable at school, to the point that she knows and remembers more about my life than I do! 


Sunburnt, sleepy and smelly! 

At some point in our lives we all get a little lost, everyone of us, whether it is second guessing a decision we have made, doubt in our abilities to succeed, our fear of failure...but my advice to you is to hang onto the people that make you smile and those who make you laugh, and make memories with them which will last a lifetime.


So I would like to thank you Rockness for great music, fun in the sun and absolute top banter (and great chips, yeah really really good chips!)


See you next year!

Off to see Nessie!

Well tomorrow I am jumping on a coach and going on a wee adventure up to Inverness to the banks of Loch Ness! Wooo, my first ever music festival experience and it is Rockness, with my bestest friend!


So I spent the day packing...this is how it went....from this...


...to this...


Yes I was pretty impressed by my packing skills! Although I have never been to a music festival, thanks to many a friends I knew exactly what to take, however I thought I would create a survival list for any fellow festival goers! 

This is my outfit number one (possibly two and three! ha!), which I had a lot of fun putting together.


Floral Dress: Zara
Denim Shirt: Republic
Sunglasses: New Look
Bag: Primark


So yeah wish me luck! 

Till next time xxx

My Sweet Tooth

Well it has been a wee while since I last blogged, sorry! I don't really have any excuse other than I have either been  busy being a domestic goddess or I have been at work, working my little butt off!

But yeah, I have always had a very sweet tooth for all things sugary. A childhood favourite was a jammy doughnut! Nothing beats a jammy doughnut! Now I am not a big coffee drinker, however when I was on holiday I became very fond of a certain drink, a cafe bon bon, which was perfect for my sweet tooth. It is condensed milk and a shot of esspresso and it is delicious!


And my Dad, bless him, managed to recreate it back home! Was so good!


As well as enjoying my Dad's coffee creations, this past week I have also been baking!


 Here is my favourite recipe ever! They come out perfect everytime!

Follow that and you should get this! Mmmmm yum! 


Till next time! xxx
