Winter

So everyone has been talking about the crazy weather! also I noticed a lot of my posts relate to the current climate... how exciting! The snow makes people go a little bonkers (myself included). Its been as low as - 10 and created havoc here in Glasgow... the shops closed early, the gym closed early, people panic bought which meant carrots were in short supply D: forget bread & milk I need my beta carotin! The pavements became ice rinks and it is absa- friggen- lootly freezing. 

I still ventured out one winters day and got myself...

some spaghetti squash (!!!)

the good thing about this weather is it makes everything look pretty

and definitely adds to that 'Christmas feeling' :)

In other news it was my Birthday on Sunday and I am now pushing 25 at grand age of twenty four years old.  I got some new trainers, perfume, jewellery and lots of other lovely jubbly gifts. I had a bit of a rubbish day falling off my bike 3 times, finding out the swimming pool was closed and body attack was cancelled. My birthday day was brightened when I met with Julie for birthday coffee and shopping which just made me forget the rubbish and enjoy the remainder of the day.

The festive period is generally really stressful and I am really feeling the pressure and anxiety is at quite a high level right now. It is just one day and everything will be back to normal before we know it so I am making it my task this Christmas to enjoy the day. After all it only occurs once a year! I am playing Christmas host this year which is exciting and very scary but I think (hope) I have everything organised. Today I went for last bits & bobs and the world has officially gone Christmas mad. Wow I am exhausted just writing about it all! So with a sprinkle of cinnamon in my high lights and another lot of things ticked off the to-do list... its time for my bed.

NYC: Four

Gosh! Apologies I am just getting round to posting my fourth installment of NYC. I don't want to flood you all with photographs so I thought it be best to split up my posts. If you are a regular reader then you will know my updates tend to be a little on the erratic side so my next post will be final New York post with a full run down on how I found the trip and how things have been lately :) 

I couldn't skip going to the natural history museum so off I went on my adventure which again took a long while to find due to my poor subway navigation. Anyway! The museum was huge and I highly doubt I got to see everything but I reckon I would need a good couple of days to cover the grounds of that place. What I did see was great and I do love a good history exhibition so it was a very enjoyable day. 

Afterwards I headed towards times square...

Now... people rave on about how amazing it is and how its a must see. I agree go see it, get some snap shots and get as far away as possible. It was bedlam! The bright lights are warm on your face & got me thinking about the amount of money it would cost to light the square (cause y'know I'm odd like that). It was sheer crazy and I just didn't feel comfortable at all. 

So what's a girl gotta do?

Shop of course!

I couldn't not walk by Toys R us and ignore it...

I look way too happy in the barbie aisle of the store for a 23 year old. Haha. I did feel like a kid in candy shop though as the shop was so big and the fact there is a ferris wheel in the middle makes it even more of a fairground. I got some Christmas shopping for my little Poppy niece :)

more shopping...

and a little more...

shopping

oh! you get the picture?

Shoppy shop shopping! It really is a shopaholics delight and I really could spend many more days shopping and have minus dollas but lets face it I can't afford to skip meals ;) and would wind up homeless which btw would happen if I lived in that City! so it was probably good I had to return to the UK the following evening...  

Back shortly with the final installment of my NYC trip.

Love
