Every thug needs a lady

I jet off on holiday at 7am tomorrow, but wanted to fit in one more wee update before I go. It’s a picture heavy one – so don’t say I didn’t warn ya! I happened to reach 1000 followers on google connect over the past few days, and no way in hell did I think that would happen when I started off this little blog of horrors, so thank you to each and every one of you who read this and give me the motivation to keep writing/ranting/babbling on 🙂 ♥

I was lucky enough during the week to be invited to a blogger event held by the lovely folks at Alison Jameson Consultants. We went to the gorgeous Tigerlily in edinburgh, for cupcakes, cocktails (strawberry daquiri was my tipple of choice) plus our hair and nails done, and an introduction to some of the lovely brands AJC whom represent. Here is a few pictures of on the day from their facebook:

I had a wonderful time, and was treated to my hair all gorgeously curled by Ryan from Medusa, and some nail art from the amazing Zara, who works at their Inner Sanctuary beauty salon within the Bread Street branch of Medusa. Stella, Snooki and Kara were awesome and really looked after us for the afternoon 🙂 It was great seeing all the fellow scottish bloggy ladies again who’ve I’d had the pleasure of meeting before – miss you girls already! We also got to bring a pretty awesome goody bag home…

I have used the phil smith mirror shine spray so far, which really did make my hair gorgeously shiny but not greasy or sticky at all. I also used the tan truth gradual tan, which was amazing! Gave me a lovely colour boost even with one application. Will be great for keeping my tan topped up when I come back my hols. Genuinely so impressed with the couple of products I’ve used so far, I’m really looking forward to trying the rest.

Stella and Snooki also kindly gave me some Hairaisers hair extensions to take home. These ones are pretty close to my current colour, and my mum is going to cut and colour them into my hair when I get home in a week 🙂 They feel amazing, and it will be great to have long hair again, super excited. Here’s a little close up of my leopard print nails by Zara, AKA Miss Cutie Kills (and also the tiniest anchor you’ve ever seen)

While getting organised for my holiday I decided to make myself and David a toiletries bag to use up all the mini’s and samples which have been engulfing my bathroom! Here’s mines:

And the bag I did for David:

I can’t see David wearing a shower cap I got from my stay at the Crowne Plaza Hotel last year (when I was stranded in Glasgow after work for a few nights because the snow was so bad) but I thought I’d throw it in for a giggle 🙂 I’m taking a few more toiletries, makeup etc ontop of this, but using up these samples have cleared a space in my drawers so I’m quite happy.

Tonight we’re going to have a nap before we need to get up and leave at 3am, the drive to the airport will take just under 2 hours. The pet sitter is all organised but I will be sad to say goodbye to the piggies! 🙁 They are enjoying their new cage loads, and I’ve even managed to get them sleeping on the baby pillows I bought for them. Auww…

Bit of a blurry shot – was trying not to wake them! One more random thing before I go, the campaign I did just as I graduated last year for my old uni is now being promoted across glasgow. A few tweets and phonecalls over the past week or so have made me aware of the massive posters of my mug spread across the city centre. I could die of embarassment, but I am also quite proud for them consider me as one of their successful alumni 🙂 So without further ado…

Anyways, I don’t have any guest posting organised for while I’m away, so this will be the last you’ll hear from me for just over a week or so. Thank you for your supportive and reassuring word/comments/tweets as always. A holiday in the sun with my fella is exactly what I’m needing right now, so stay classy san diego, and I’ll be seeing y’all real soon 🙂
