Space Smells? | Barrhead Travel

05 April 2017

Hello!

Last month, on March 2nd 2017, I was given the honour of being invited along to a press event for astronaut, Brian Duffy, the 268th person to go into space, who was visiting Glasgow. Brian Duffy is part of the Kennedy Space Center and talks to schools, with a aim of inticing the next generation of scientists and astronauts. This event was hosted by Barrhead Travel.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this post up, I've been struggling a lot with uni, but here we are!

The event was being hosted at the St Vincent street branch in Glasgow City Centre, and oh my god. I told my friend Morag that if I hadn't have been walking there with her, I probably would have walked right past the store - because it's not the red and blue branding that I expected. Instead, the shop had a more luxury feel to it, with the store front being in black and gold, and inside there were canopies set up with the travel advisors sitting inside. To get to the travel advisors, customers have to walk over a little bridge that goes over a "river" in the middle of the shop. It was all really cool, and I appreciated the little attentions to detail.

About My Tattoo

24 March 2017

Hello!

So. I got a tattoo. It's my first tattoo. You've probably worked that out from the title already, though. I got it when I went down to visit Saph, who made the appointment for me (thanks bae!)

I'd thought about them for a while, but any idea I've had, I quickly grew bored of and thought 'phew, thank God I never went through with that!'. Plus, I know my mum isn't fond of tattoos, and that has grounded me a lot when it's come to them.

British Airways: An Airline Review

27 February 2017

Hello!

On 17 February 2017 I flew down to London Gatwick (and then made an onward journey by train) to visit my lovely Saph. I flew with British Airways and my god lemme tell you, I was so excited. I don't know why, but I've longed to travel with BA for so long! I'd always pictured them to be the more expensive way to travel, especially considering that this journey in particular was a short haul, domestic flight from GLA-LGW but instead a quick search on Google showed that BA was actually cheaper than easyJet! Granted that this was as a hand baggage only rate, but it was enough to convince me to book with them.

I Need To Rant.

Hello.

For the past few weeks, I've been really unhappy. I've not felt comfortable in my decision of attending university. I've felt like I've chosen the wrong course, or taken the wrong path and everything is like a spiral that I can't escape from. And it's just really brought me down.

I've talked about this a little bit, as a guest post over on my lovely Lucy's blog (go check her out, yo!), but I feel obligated to talk a little about it here.

Let's Spread Some Positivity

02 February 2017


Hello!
Life is a bit stressful right now, and although I have a lot of post ideas, I haven't had the time or the energy to get anything written here at all! But I'm still alive, hi, hey, hello! Before I jump straight into this post, I just want to let you know a lil summat.

Next week, Monday 6th (or Tuesday 7th) February 2017, I will have a blog post going live. But it won't be live on this account - instead, it'll be on Buzzfeed! Yup. As part of my university assessment, I'm to write an article and have it posted live as of Monday 6th (or the 7th) and lemme tell you I am nervous about it  - the article I'm writing won't have any relevence to what I write on this channel, and it's going to be totally different to anything I've previously written here. I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm going to be spending a week promoting a Buzzfeed article, please do engage with it as that's part of my grade, but please also know that I'm not changing anything to do with my usual nonsense.

Okay! So, I have quite a number of friends, both on and off line. And I love them all. I love you guys <3 and it's phenomenal just how much they all mean to me. I've previously written an article dedicated to my Baguettes but I thought I'd dedicate this one to my Blogger Baes.
