Hey, Friday friends! How has your week been? I’m super stoked to round up my week and share my favourites with you. Last weekend, we spent our time at home - after our recent adventures, it was nice to hang out and not wander too far. On Sunday, we grabbed some lunch at the Glad Cafe (their home-made hash browns are RIDICULOUS. Pure comfort on a plate, I tell you!) before taking a walk around Queen’s Park.
During the week, I caught up with some of my favourite local bloggers at LUSH Braehead’s Winter-themed event. We made bath bombs, got VERY excited about Christmas and chatted about taking care of our skin when the days get a little colder. I always love hanging out with the LUSH team, and this event was no exception.
On Thursday, I started preparing for this Halloween with a visit to Swoon for a vampy, dark manicure - ooh, la la! It’s a little different from my usual day-glo and glitter, but it’s very apt for the season and makes me feel very American Horror Story: Coven. Now, where did I leave that eye of newt?
Today I did something completely new and went to the gym! And it wasn’t so bad (in fact, I actually quite enjoyed it). I’m trying to avoid the urge to completely hibernate over the next few months, so working a bit of exercise into my routine will hopefully be a welcome little challenge. Watch this space…
I’m looking forward to a lot of things this weekend - hitting Hutchesons for brunch, hanging with our besties and recording a new podcast episode to name a few! What about you guys? Before we go off and make the most of it (AND that extra hour in bed this Sunday!!), let me share a few favourites and must-clicks from this week!
