…Well, one day of it! 

A normal working day for me is a varied one, I work as a coordinator for the BBC in sunny (!) Scotland. I have worked in TV for the past couple of years and on the most part I love it. Not always glamorous the hours can be very long, but there are so many adventures to go on and new things to try, it is usually worth it in the end.

I am lucky that my day does start not as early as some, I don’t start till 9.30..ish and live nearby , so I often don’t drag myself out of bed until 8.45! I like my beauty routine in the morning to be quick and fuss free, I usually dry my hair at night and either tie it up in a messy bun or let it dry in pigtails, so as to give a relaxed and messy do the next day – one that hopefully looks like I meant it to look that way! Make up wise a touch of foundation to even out the ole cheeks, a healthy blob of under eye concealer, a swirl of blusher on the apples, some liquid black liner for the lids and lashings of Mascara is quick and easy to achieve while in a rush and keeps me from scaring the colleagues with morning face!

I really enjoy walking to work, it gives me time to wake up and look silly mouthing the words to whatever song is on my ipod! This walk  is usually fine and pretty uneventful, I just have to wander through a tunnel over the motorway, over a bridge and I am there but not on the day I am considering sharing with the Superdrug world oh no- my usual bridge is looking a little difficult to cross…. A little later to work it is, oooops!

At work my day is usually a mixed bag of events, nothing too exciting is happening currently so I wont bore you. But here is where I sit and here is my lovely building, all open plan and always something random to look at or listen too. Celeb spotting and  munching on delicious tray bakes in the canteen helps pass the time when I should be at my desk getting on with things! ( I promise I do actually work very hard and love most aspects of my job!)

Now in order to make my days seem slightly more glitz and glam I was pretty pleased to be asked  to do this just before a black tie event I had coming up ( I do not get dressed up like this every day!) I finished at Uni a couple of years ago and while I was there I was involved in my Students Union and every year the president of the place is given a big fancy dinner in his honour, cue a few drinkies, fancy clothes and some bad dancing.

I was proud to be asked to attend along with some of our best friends to celebrate our friend Aarons great year in charge. I took the afternoon off work to go home and pamper myself and get ready, I love taking my time for a special night and getting right down to the details. Although it was  dark inside so no one would really notice all this effort!  It was an amazing night and well worth the worth the blisters, the headache and the dress covered in red wine! Needless to say the next day was a lot less productive than this one!

So there you have it,  a snapshot of my life. I hope you enjoyed it and hopefully I will be back  to share  more summer adventures and hear some of yours soon.

Much Love
