EDINBURGH NAPIER EXPERIENCE - PART 2 - THE CITY

As you may or may not know from last weeks post Edinburgh Napier University invited me up to try out Scottish student life and show myself and a few other Teesside bloggers what it had to offer.

We really had the best time trotting around my favourite city in the UK.

We were super lucky enough to be there while the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was on. I have never had the chance to soak up the Fringe before so this was a little extra treat. We even got to go and see Joe Lycett who was hilarious.

EDINBURGH NAPIER EXPERIENCE - PART 1 - THE UNI

You may want to grab a cuppa and a couple of biscuits as this post is full of visual treats!

Last week I was invited up to Edinburgh Napier University with a few fellow bloggers to experience the student life and to see what Edinburgh as a city has to offer.

And guess what guys, it didn't disappoint. Take a peek at what Megan - Thumbelina Lillie, Gianni - The G Edit, Beth - Polished Couture and Amy - Amy Gatenby , and I got up to.

I was a Musician, an Engineer, a Midwife, a Scientist, Vet and a Sports Coach all within three days.

I thought I would put together a few snaps of my trip to show you what we got up to.

I am seriously thinking about cracking out a masters after this, then maybe a pHd. Dr Mac sounds good right?  If not a little like a cartoon network programme circa 2001.

So lets get started...

CHANNEL 4 - SUNDAY BRUNCH

GRAZE ME UP

I am soooooooo bad with jumping on the bandwagon (with everrryyyhting) that bandwagon that was once totally full and is now ever so empty - because yes it takes me that blooming long to catch on to what everyone else is doing, listening too, watching, wearing... the list goes on and on. But it's ok, because we all get there in the end - sort of - I know the ending to breaking bad. Sort of got there in the end didn't I?

You will ALL be aware of Graze Box - That little perfectly post boxed size treat full of well, grazing snacks.

TEA LADY WEARS - DOTTY P

I have been in love with not only the burnt orange colour this season, but that suede look that everyone is rocking. Oh my, Oh my.

I thought I would make the most of this wonderful weather we are experiencing here in the north and grab a couple of snaps in my new favourite fashion trend.

I say this as I write this blog post and it has been raining for 24 hours straight.

ALOE ALOE!

So I am little obsessed with tea, we all get that. I love a good Earl Grey. Duchess Earl Grey is my all time favourite with it's zesty, limey flavours.

The blend of Earl Grey has a distinctive flavour. It is the oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange. The bergamot tree only blossoms in winter which makes having a brew of Earl Grey on a cold winter day that little bit more special.

Bergamot is not only a flavour I like to drink, it is also really good for your skin and helps you to  relax caused from those day to day stresses.

Another favourite this summer has been Aloe. Aloe has been my summer saviour. After my holiday I burnt like a fried chicken so this extract has been helping get my skin back on track, soothing my burnt burnt skin.

I thought I would show you what I have been using recently to chill me out and get my skin feeling radiant again.

BRUNCH WITH BODEN

And so the wild wild weekend begins...

SUPER FOOD COCONUT BALLS

I have the ultimate sweet tooth. Like, it can get really bad. It can get that bad that when I sometimes 'need' a biscuit, I can only muster up a hand signal to my other half - which means get off your ass and get me a custard cream.

GETTING MY NUTRIENTS WITH NUTRILENT

I have had a gym membership for over 2 years now and have never really taken advantage of it till right before my holiday - you know that time when you think 3 sessions in the gym will make you into a beach bikini goddess.
