642 Things – I Was Warned

     I picked up a new book recently, called 642 Things to Write About, which does what it says in the title. It contains hundreds of writing prompts, which I plan to use and post on here. So here’s the first… “The one your mother warned you about” (Source)…

Edinburgh Fringe – Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare

     The Fringe might be over now, but that doesn’t mean I’ve blogged about everything I saw yet! Last week I went to see a show called Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare, which is a Shakespeare play performed with one of the actors being drunk. This year it ‘The Two Gentlemen of…

Review – Twin Atlantic: Great Divide

     Big, bold & stunning. I had high hopes for Twin Atlantic’s newest record, given how much I adore their last, 2011’s ‘Free’. However, the lead single from Great Divide, Heart & Soul, was not one that I instantly loved and therefore had me somewhat nervous for the new…

Edinburgh Fringe – The Noise Next Door

    Another Fringe show to tick off my wish list for this year. The Noise Next Door are an improv group whose show is made up of lots of sketches and songs. I saw them last year, when they had 2 shows, their main one (‘Soundhouse’) and their comedy…

Outfit of the Day – Doing It Different

     This isn't a particularly unusual outfit in the grand scheme of things, but it is a little different for me. This top was given to me as a gift and is not something that I would have ever picked up myself. However, I've found I rather like it,…

Edinburgh Fringe – The Only Way Is Downton

     This was a show that I wanted to see last year having heard many good reviews about it, but didn’t have the time to go to. I think the time I tried to get tickets it was sold out already. However, this year it’s back so I made…

Outfit of the Day – Drifting Along

    Some days you just want to drift through life, putting in the minimal effort possible. However, I've found that this doesn't necessarily mean you can't dress nicely while doing so. This outfit took seconds to throw together, but little touches keep it interesting. A shirt over a plain…

The Scotch Whisky Experience

    It's a common occurrence that no one ever goes to see the sights in their own town. This is certainly true for me, as I had seen very few of Edinburgh's sights, at least before working at summer camp, which has involved visiting quite a few. The other…

Edinburgh Fringe – Showstoppers

     The Edinburgh Fringe is in full swing, which means the city is heaving with tourists and performers and there’s an inescapable buzz in the atmosphere. For someone living and working in the city, like me, it can get pretty irritating at times, but there’s no doubting how unique…

Musically Inspired – Exaggerated Enjoyment

     Best Day EVER! We do have a tendency to exaggerate don’t we? I think everybody is guilty of this at one time or another. Superlatives and exclamations roll off our tongues so easily and if we were to take them all literally then our lives would be infinitely…
