A Bit of Me Time Tagging...

1 . What do you watch or read during me-time?
My friends and family will know I have a slight addiction to Doctor Who! I usually watch Doctor Who or the Big Bang Theory during "Me-Time" but I have recently started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I love reading, I'm currently reading The Hunger Games that my good friend got me for Christmas.

2. What do you wear during me-time?
My PJs usually!


3. What are your me-time beauty products?
Um...I'm not really a beauty product type of girl....I mean I recently started using cucumber but I don't think it counts as a beauty product as its in gin and tonic :/


4. Current favourite nail polish?
As a Food and Beverage Assistant, I'm not allowed to wear nail varnish. Plus I bite my nails so I never have any nails to paint but if/when I ever do wear it I love dark purple or I have a very nice shimmery turquoise that is lovely!


5. What do you eat or drink during me-time?

As previously mentioned, I enjoy gin and tonic during me time. I also enjoy a good cup of tea! 


6. Current favourite candle?
I don't tend to use candles but my housemate has some lovely apple scented ones that are very nice.



7. Do you ever have outdoor me-time?
Yeah, I used to love randomly walking on the beach when I used to live near it. Nowadays I sit on my balcony while reading.


8. Would you ever go see a movie alone?
I went to see the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by myself because no one would go with me :(


9. Favourite online shop?

Ebay, Amazon or any shoe shop!!


10. Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time?
I love writing, I'm currently writing a book as mentioned in previous blog posts. I also play saxophone (which I haven't done for a while!) but I also enjoy composing music when inspiration hits me. I've started trying to sketch but I'm not very good at it. I have also been known to bake the odd batch of cupcakes for my friends and for people I work with - despite not being able to eat them myself!



So, thanks Tanya (over at Tanya's Tea Party) for the nomination! I don't really have anyone else to nominate though as I don't know anyone else who writes a blog that would do this :/

Hope you enjoyed!
Ciao x

Long Time No Posts...

Wow it's been a while!!!

So what's new? Well I am now living in the lovely city of Edinburgh!! I'm working in a hotel (surprise surprise) but loving it at the moment. I'm still single but I feel like I've returned to the bubbly girl I used to be. I don't feel as bad now about the breakup because it was the right thing to do as we weren't happy together anymore and we would have ended up killing each other.

I've learnt many things since my last post. I've learnt that being single and being alone are two totally different things. I am not alone. I have my amazing family. I have some awesome friends who have been there for me through so much.

I've also learnt that the saying 'if at first you don't succeed, try try again' is so true!! I failed my driving test the first time round due to my complete ditziness - I refused to go into first gear at junctions for some reason and ended up stalling as I came out of a junction which got me an automatic fail. I am planning on resorting it in the near future though!!

I've decided that I do want to do my Masters and I've decided I want to do the MSc in Education Studies at the university of Edinburgh. What this may lead to I'm still undecided. I want to go down the politics route still but I'm not sure if I would be able to handle it. But as a very wise person keeps telling (yes Mum I'm talking about you) I'm still young and have ages to decide what I want to do.

So that's about it in terms of what's new. Oh wait no I nearly forgot! I'm moving in with one of my best friends and her sister in April :) which will be amazing!! I am so looking forward to it!

Anyway I'll try not to leave it so long next time!

Ciao for now x
