30 Day Snap #30 (The Last Day!)

I've missed a couple of days but today is the last one! I've actually found it easier than I thought although this month seems to have gone really slow!

It's me and my little cousin William looking pretty sleepy after a long day of playing!

30 Day Snap #27

I missed another day!! I was doing so well! 

Anyway, today I went to the portrait gallery with my auntie and cousin Kit (Felix was at school we didn't leave him at home!!). I really enjoyed it, I think portraits are my favourite form of art. 

We then went to Jamie Oliver's pop up diner which is just off Piccadilly Circus and it was so tasty! It is all themed around dinosaurs and Kit loved it! If you are in the area definitely go! The staff were lovely and the food was amazing!

30 Day Snap #25

First up I missed yesterday cause I was travelling all day the most exciting thing that happened was a burger for tea. 

Second off all this might be slightly random for today's one but William (my 3 year old cousin) was chatting to me as I did my make up. He was asking lots of questions and picked up for eyelash curlers, looked at them in wonder and proclaimed 'they are the jaws of life!'

I'm going to London tomorrow! So excited!

Glitter Snap #23

I'm driving from Edinburgh to Gloucester tomorrow (about 350 miles) to stay with family for a week and a half. I'm also getting the train across to London to stay with my auntie for a night which means lots of shopping! 

I'm all packed and ready and I seem to have packed nearly everything that I own which is typical of me! I'm such a panicker and the thought of not having something fills me with so much dread! 

Tomorrow picture will probably be a service station as that's all I will be doing! I'm driving on my own too which means I can sing along to the radio like its nobodies business!

30 Day Snap #22

Bit of a cheat today as I've been super busy and had completely forgot about it till now! 

I have been babysitting all night (and went to see Despicable Me 2 which is so so so good!!!). The photo I'm using is actually from a couple days ago and it's Oscar chatting to Jenson (the hamster). Oscy looks so confused!

30 Day Snap #21

An example of how me and Oscar are just as stubborn as each other. 

P.S. I'm on holiday for 10 days!!! Hooray!!! 

P.P.S. I ended up moving and Oscar won. 

30 Day Snap #20

I go down to England on Monday and decided to treat myself to a set of nails! I went in thinking I want short, square and definitely not pink! I came out with long, round and bright, bright pink! 

I can't resist the lure of super girly nails!! 

The picture doesn't do them justice at all they are really bright in person!

30 Day Snap #19

I'm writing this on the train home whilst eating sandwich for tea with one hand so it'll be really sort! 

I had a work seminar thing in a posh hotel in Glasgow and we were a bit early. We thought we would get a quick drink as we were both rushing around and I got literally the stingiest bottle of Diet Coke EVER. It was teeny! So stingy haha!

30 Day Snap #18

Took oscy for a long walk in our local country park today and he was looking over the bridge! It was so funny! 

****I'm taking part in the 30 Day Snap idea of Sprinkle of Glitter****

30 Day Snap #17

Today I took Oscy off his lead on a walk for the first time! I didn't trust him before cause he is still a puppy and tends to get over excited. There was no one else in the field so I let him run wild! He came back too so I will definitely let him off more often!

30 Day Snap #16

Today I popped to the shopping centre and bought a couple of things from River Island (and managed to avoid of the lure of Boots...almost). I came home, tidied my room and now I'm watching LOTS of interviews of the Star Trek cast. 

I went to see the sequel to the first film last Tuesday and it was one of the BEST films I have ever seen, ever!! Even if you don't like those kinds of films go and see it! It's incredible! I'm also even more in love with Spock which I find a little unnerving!

Glitter Snap #15

I can't believe we're halfway through June already! It's going so fast!

Today it has been raining and miserable and I've not really done anything worth taking a picture off so I'm recycling one of the pictures that didn't make the cut on the other days.

It's a picture of the burn near where I live. I think I took it yesterday when the sun was out and it a lovely evening! 

Hopefully tomorrow I'll do something worth reporting!

****I'm taking part in the 30 Day Snap idea of Sprinkle of Glitter****

I've spent today watching Come Dine With Me, which is such a good tv show, I can watch it all day long! I also ordered some Vans and a really cute washbag for my holidays in a week from Asos, no doubt when they arrive it will be a daily snap!

Impress Nails

I have been using these little beauties for about a year now so feel I have definitely road-tested them enough to give an full and honest review! 

They are basically little, plastic sticky-back nails which over a fuss free solution to making your nails look pretty! 

I have gone through about 7 pots of these bad boys and I can honestly say they live up to the hype! The sticky pads are actually sticky (unlike the ones I used to wear when I was a nipper) and the sizes actually fit nails instead of them all being too small or too big! 

The colours are all really pretty (besides one or two weird ones), and they come in some really pretty patterns too! 

I used them just with the sticky pads for the first few times, then started using them with a little brush on nail glue (which is really cheap) just to extend the length you can wear them that little but longer. I find without nail glue they last around 5-6 days and with nail glue they can last to around 10 days! 

They aren't cheap but you get 24 in a pack and I have found that, if you have a few packs, you can mix and match the remaining ones to have an accent nail or alternate nails! 

Plain nails (e.g. a solid colour) are £7.99 a pack and the patterned ones are £8.99 a pack. Considering getting a set of acrylics cost around £40, this isn't actually too bad! 

I was watching Woman in Black and was NOT happy! My nails looked nice though!

An example of the 'mix and match' i mentioned earlier 

A really pretty, natural pink

I went mental and made my own accent nail!

I think these were my favourite ever..

..apart from these! SO PRETTY!

I've been taking part in the 30 Day Snap challenge so make sure you look at previous post to see what I have been snapping! 

30 Day Snap #14

I popped home for lunch today and sat in the garden. It was really sunny and nice. I love this time of year when all the flowers are about to bloom and it's really exciting!

My favourite flowers in the garden are the tiger lily which is just huge and has so many flowers on it! I also love the yellow lupin which is the big yellow flower in the middle of the picture.

30 Day Snap #13

I have been fancying some smarties for weeks now and I finally got around to buying some today. Smarties are the only chocolatey that I really like so I don't have them very often. 

I was doing my usual smarties routine (tip them all out, sort into colours, put the in order of worst to best and eat going up the line). 

They looked so pretty I thought this could be my picture today. 

****I'm taking part in the 30 Day Snap idea of Sprinkle of Glitter****

P.S. they have totally changed the red smarties dye it tasted really funny! I miss smarties from yonder when they were bright colours and your mum wouldn't let you have the blue ones! The orange ones are still the best! 

30 Day Snap #12

I took Oscy into the office today and he was clearly worn out from all the photocopying I had him doing! 

He looked super cute taking a power nap with his toy I took a quick picture.

30 Day Snap #11

Today, for work, we travelled over the Forth Road Bridge to have a meeting. 

It was raining and miserable but I took a quick snap of the bridge. I took a pic of the Forth Rail Bridge but you could barely see it though the railings and fog so have included the one of the road bridge! 

****I'm taking part in the 30 Day Snap idea of Sprinkle of Glitter****

30 Day Snap #10

Today's been pretty shit all things considered so it's a super quick one of my nails which I have enjoyed staring at for the past 3 days. 

See you later, I'm going back to watching endless Kingsley videos.

****I'm taking part in the 30 Day Snap idea of Sprinkle of Glitter****

30 Day Snap #9

I woke up at ten to one today and haven't done anything so I was lacking in inspiration as to what to do for my 30 Day Snap today then realised this was staring me in the face all day! 

I used to listen to these stories all the time on audio book when I was young and I love them! When I saw this on Waterstones I just couldn't resist and have been reading it like mad since! 

It's set in the 1940s in a boarding school and I have found myself thinking and talking like a 40s schoolgirl! Instead of saying 'mum to you want to pop to the shops' I'll say 'I say mum, it's a jolly nice day! How about a trip to the shop!' 

I really need to stop doing that cause it can be quite embarrassing! I love these stories though - I feel like I'm rediscovering old friends!

30 Day Snap #8

Today has been such a nice, summers day! 

I am in desperate need of some Summer clothes so went into tow but I looked in so many shops and found nothing at all! 

I went to Space NK though and it was double N-Dulge points so obviously I had to get something *ahem*. 

After coming out of Space NK (with my purse considerably lighter), I headed back to the train station where I came across this fellow. 

If you live in Edinburgh you'll have probably seen him before! Every weekend in the Summer he turns up and spends the whole day upside down with his head in a bucket! 

We're gonna have a BBQ now and enjoy the rest of the sunshine! I hope it lasts!!

30 Day Snap #7

Really quick one today, I have been at work all day, with a lot of driving to and from a meeting in the afternoon and I thought a picture of the road was boring! 

I was walking the pup and saw this little leaf growing through a fence. I thought it was really cute and a nice metaphor for life - don't let the barrier get in the way of where you want to be. 

****I'm taking part in the 30 Day Snap idea of Sprinkle of Glitter****

30 Day Snap #6

Today I was at work and it was super duper sunny! I popped out to get some lunch, came back and chucked my stuff on my desk. I thought it unintentionally made for a quite nice 'What's on my desk'.

I have my mac lipstick in creme cup which I wear almost everyday for work and I'm nearly at the end of it! Oh no! 

I have my Korres lip balm which lived up to every expectation - I LOVE IT! It looks really nice under the lipstick too!

A couple of pens which are my favourite at the moment, I'm quite fickle when it comes to stationary.

And my sunglasses which I love. They're so bright and make me happy! I've had them for about 5 years now and really need to get some new ones but I feel like Summer won't be Summer without my bright blue sunglasses!!

Nails Inc: Baker Street

I love Nails Inc as I've said here and here. When I saw this shade on a blog (I think it was WhatIHeartToday) I knew I needed it in my life! When I heard later on that Beyonce had this I felt it was the next step in my quest to be Beyonce *ahem*.

I actually lusted after this for a good two months before I finally got my mitts on it, and it hasn't disappointed at all. I think it is just the perfect blue for all seasons, seriously it's LOVE! I also picked up Royal Botanical Gardens which I also love! Think essie mint candy apple but slight greener and more pastel, beautiful and perfect for the sun!

I would recommend this to anyone, I think it will suit all skin tones! It costs £11 which is pretty pricey but I looked for a dupe on the high street and couldn't find one! Also, if you buy 2 Nails Inc polishes you get one free which works out at roughly £7 a polish! Cheaper than essie!

What nail polishes are you loving at the moment? Do you love Nails Inc too?

30 Day Snap #5

Today was a pretty boring day, if I'm honest! 

I was at work till half 5, the weather is grey and humid (yuck!) and today is a fasting day at part of the 5:2 diet so I'm feeling pretty miserable. 

However, if there is one thing that will cheer me up it is undoubtably a present! How can you not get joy looking at a present!! It's for my little cousin Felix who is 6 next week (he was in my Walk in the Countryside post). I hope he likes it!!

30 Day Snap #4

Today is such a nice, sunny, warm day! I was at work from 8.45 but as soon as my boss said I could leave a bit early I was out of that office like a shot! In the garden, feet up with heat magazine!! Bliss! 

Today picture is a whole load of daisies! I love daisies, they remind me of sitting on the grass in primary school making daisy chains and wearing them round my neck all afternoon! 

It also features my new sandals which I love! I got them from primark at the weekend for a bargainous £6! They had other colours too so if you like them snap them up quick cause there weren't many left!! 

I hope this weather lasts all week, metcheck says so, lets keep our fingers crossed for a glorious week!

30 Day Snap #3

Today is Day 3 of 30 Day Snap and I have spent the vast majority of it battling this horrible machine! It is supposed to bind paper together into a pretty booklet but me and it will never be friends. 

Pretty boring day today but c'est la vie! Made in Chelsea is on tonight, that's always good for cheering up a bleak Monday!

Come back tomorrow for day 4!

30 Day Snap #1

Today is 30 Day Snap #1!!

Today I went to the cinema to see The Great Gatsby (which was pants!). 

I came home to see Oscy playing in the garden and my dad putting in a 'self-watering system' for the garden! 

I love this picture cause it looks like Oscys toy has hit him in the face! It hasn't he had it in his mouth! 

Come back tomorrow for day 2!
