Cake… Everybody Loves Cake! Recently I have spoken about how I’m going through a bit of a low point with my mental health, I am on the mend at the moment and feeling a lot more positive. One thing that did help was how supportive people were being – there is also a downside of that and that is how I got to the lowest point. People would ask how I am and I would say, “I’m Fine” when we both knew I wasn’t. The biggest thing I struggled with was telling how I was feeling. It left us all in an awkward situation becauseRead More →

Thanks to Burgh Blogger for the tag. What a lovely idea the Smile Tag is, Sharing pictures of yourself smiling. This may be a challenge as I hate pictures of myself and I smile like Chandler Bing in most photos but here we go! This picture is from a recent wedding we attended. The wedding was at Castle Campbell in Dollar and was such a stunning setting for a wedding. My Husband was a groomsman hence why he looks so handsome in a kilt. The sun came out just in time for the bride walking down the aisle after being quite an overcast day andRead More →

Indian food is my favourite. I could eat it all day every day, I love how flavourful it is. I was also thinking the other day how bland looking and tasting traditional British Food is.   I recently was invited along to try out the new menu and visit the new restaurant. The Raj is a well established Indian, recently relocating from Leith to Blackhall. Blackhall is a 15 minute bus ride out of Edinburgh city centre and there are buses every few minutes. So it’s really handy to get to! We received a warm welcome and were impressed by the restaurant. The menu wasRead More →

To me, it feels like they have been going on about this film for forever. There has been so much hype about it. Those of a certain generation will remember watching the Hoff and Pamela Anderson running around the beach fighting really obscure crimes on a beach whilst running in slow motion and bouncing in all the right places. I had a Baywatch Barbie- she was awesome!  If you are too young to remember this may struggle to get some of the jokes in this film. The film is ultimately a spoof of Baywatch the TV Show. The characters are the same – there are Mitch,Read More →

As the name, Juniper Daze may suggest I am a massive Gin fan. I saw that there was this Gin festival on in town but initially thought I wouldn’t be able to make it, however, luck be had it that I was able to go on the first night of the Gin Festival. The festival is held in Summerhall, which is the old vet school in Edinburgh which is now used as a venue, art area and Gin Distillery it seems! My husband and I went for a few drinks before hand – we soon learned this was a bit of a mistake. The ticketsRead More →

  I have a feeling of being a bit lost at the moment. I have lost my Mojo. You may have noticed I haven’t blogged in awhile. I just didn’t know what to say. I still don’t. I have talked about how I am at a low point in my life with Anxiety and Depression. I am on the mend though, I am having more good days than bad days and I am working through the Mood Gym modules that seem to be helping me be able to put into words what I am feeling. It’s all about how I interpret thoughts and frame themRead More →

I suffer from Anxiety. Wait I don’t like the word suffer. I have anxiety; it’s a bitch but it’s there. A lot of the time I can control it; I find ways in which I can tackle it but other times it takes over my life. The worst thing is – it’s unpredictable. There’s not really one trigger. This week is Mental Health Awareness week and so I thought I would go a little way in spreading some awareness of how anxiety affects me. This is not a conclusive post, I don’t have the answers, I barely know how to describe it myself but hereRead More →
