My July, 2014

So July is coming to an end. Seriously, where has the time gone? It's getting a bit scary!

July has been a pretty exciting month to be in Glasgow, since we are proudly hosting the Commonwealth Games. I thought the opening ceremony was so much fun, we didn't take ourselves too seriously at the beginning, I mean dancing tea cakes, giant kilts and a huge inflatable Nessie let's the world know our tongue is firmly in cheek. But we had some really emotional moments too. Gay kiss anyone? And the campaign for UNICEF has already raised £2.5m in the UK alone in less than 24 hours. That's insane. There's a real carnival atmosphere in Glasgow just now, we are getting glorious weather and it's a really exciting time. Wish we could do this every summer!

July was also my birthday, which involved lots of presents and a day at T in The park! T in The Park is a music festival and again Scotland was blessed with gorgeous weather on the Friday. I seen Ellie Goulding, HAIM, Imagine Dragons, Biffy Clyro and Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran and Biffy were the highlight for me. I had a fun and eventful day with friends, and a bus load of drunk strangers sang happy birthday on the bus which was pretty funny!

I'm pretty obsessed with Starbucks Mocha Coconut Frappe's. I have a serious problem if I don't get one every few days and I often organise my free time around Starbucks. If there isn't a Starbucks there, I'm not going. Just being honest! The Holy Guacamole Salad is also to die for and I'm pretty obsessed with them too. If you haven't tried them already, get involved. I'll wait right here until you get back. No I'm not joking. 

July was also the month I took the plunge and got a tattoo. I got a small bow on my right ankle and I'm not going to lie, it stung like a little bitch. But I love it and I was pretty lucky since it healed really well. I'm already planning another one! The folks will not be pleased!

Finally, I was lucky enough to sample this fudge and it's amazing. I should say, if it's not already obvious, I'm obsessed with all things coconut. This fudge is amazing but you can only get it in select locations in Glasgow do it's definitely a special treat. Wow I really want this. Right now.
