30 Day Snap #28 | Edinburgh Trip: HMV, Primark & Wetherspoons!

Edinburgh!

Castles, amazing buildings, train rides, Costa mocha mint frapachinos, Primark shopping followed by a meal in Wetherspoons (I loved the old telephones on the wall in the restaurant... Alexander Graham Bell: Wetherspoons)

Myself, my parents, brother, cousin and bestie went to the city for the day. If we had taken an earlier train we may have had a longer day of strolling about and also I wanted to go into Jo Malones (I took a picture all the same).

I bought a Slytherin top in Primark along with a pair of shoes, so that was fun. Edel also bought me a new bag. A twenty-first gift. Oh she also took the picture above of me on the train. So thank you Edel for that. Purple lady on the purple train. And seeing the wonderful statues and gardens also was amazing for the camera on my phone. Some amazing memories to hold on to.

We went into HMV, there I got my Downton Abbey Season 4 and Little Dorrit. Anything BBC production is always amazing. I found out after buying Bones Season 8 THAT I ALREADY HAVE IT! So I gave it to Edel to keep.

My 11 year old Scottish cousin stepped in for a photo of a Braveheart cut out. I think he liked our craziness. He loved giving hugs to my Mum, which I thought was adorable.

At night we cozied up on the couches with quilts watching 'The Walking Dead'. My brother and I helped in paying for the 3 seasons for our cousin. He was thrilled with having it.

Family time is always something I love to take pictures of. There needs to be more cuddles in the world :)

30 Day Snap #9 | Jogging in the Woodlands

I was feeling so terribly off yesterday. I felt as though procrastinating was boring. I felt as though I wanted to take out some of my stress, anxiety, whatever... the emotions that were wanting to burst out from me, with jogging. Even with feeling so drained, I just wanted to get out of the house and feel better. I knew that I would disappoint myself if I allowed myself to feel unhappy.

I made myself get all geared up for a jog. I went out to the nearby woods and had 'Coldplays' new album blasting in my ears. Just when I knew I was alone I ran like a wild lunatic through the little path ways, as though I was running away from someone. There were times when I would glance behind me to see whether I was being followed... scary, I know!

I felt so exhilarated out there. The traffic could still be heard, but I eliminated it's horrific noises with music and the sound of my own heart thumping. Regretfully, I could have chosen a better day to go jogging. There was some rays of sunlight to be seen, but it was such a stuffy, claustrophobic day, making it harder to breath when racing through the trees.

I used to at one time in my life take my anger out on my brother, yes I was a terrible sister, you don't know how I regret it now. But now he's bigger than me, so he's usually the one bugging me. Fair enough. I had such anger management issues a few years back and having jogging now in my life really has made such a difference in my life. The pain I feel from jogging, with breathing, is something I can control. I like to know I can control pain. Having it as well, is just a way of letting go. It's a great stress relief!

How do you like to let go of your emotions... nothing so dirty now! But when you feel as though you need to unwind yourself, what does it for you?

Lots of luvin',
