Ayden In Wonderland

Well its late sunday night, and I must apologise for not posting in quite a wee while. This weekend was a busy one for me, back to work in the cafe yesterday and my grandparents have been down visiting my family in leeds, so Iโ€™ve had the house to myself for three days! David has came to keep me company since friday night, and tonight is our last wee sleepover ๐Ÿ™‚ So we chilled last night, made dinner and watched lots of tv. Youve been framed, Britains Got Talent, Over The Rainbow, and Lost! This morning I was taking photographs at a babyโ€™s christening, and this afternoon me and David drove up north to visit my mum who is currently staying in a gorgeous lodge by loch lomond with her boyfriend Mark and the little ones. Ive never seen them so happy! It was Aaron and Tylers first little โ€˜holidayโ€™, and although it was only a couple hours drive from home, I think the gorgeous hills and countryside, big lochs and fresh air was really good for them. We went to an awesome little rustic pub for lunch (I felt like I was in the Leaky Cauldron from Harry Potter) next to a lovely log fire and drank a half pint of kronenbourg shandy at a very slow pace. Totally chilled! Just what Iโ€™ve been needing after feeling rather drained at the start of last week.
So, probs on to why this post is called Ayden In Wonderland? I didnt endulge in the Urban Decay Alice Pallete, but I did recently buy the Alice inspired OPI polishes from ASOS. I tend not to paint my nails very often cause of the state they get in when Im painting, but I totally fell in love with these little beauties! Plus, I had some money in my paypal that needed spending ๐Ÿ˜‰
ย 
I have not been able to stop looking at my nails since the moment they were painted! So glittery, its actually unreal haha. I protected them with a clear top coat too, so hopefully they shall withstand my messy days on placement. Have you had experience with any other OPI polishes or the Alice range? Im rather impressed! Me and David took a trip to the Botanic Gardens down Glasgows west end one day last week when I was in need of cheering up. There were so many lovely flowers, I thought it would tie in nicely with my Alice polish postโ€ฆ cause I did kinda feel like we could have been lost in wonderland. (Warning, this bitโ€™s a tad picture heavy)

Haha excuse the cheeky pictures near to the end. There was a pond with Koi fishes in it and at one point one of them actually did a full lap of the pond whilst leaping out the water every 5 seconds, it was the funniest thing Ive seen in so long, we were in absolute stitches! Unfortunately I didnโ€™t catch it on camera.

Anyways, I better head off and start getting my lunch packed and clothes ironed for tomorrow. I also have an american swap buddy who Im exchanging parcels with ๐Ÿ™‚ Her name is Danielle and you can find her awesome blog here. I also need to catch up on google reader tomorow and see what all you lovelies have been upto โ™ฅ Hope you had a great weekend!

ย Ps. I miss Jenn ๐Ÿ™
