Party Chariot // Project 365 // Day 354

Hoot the Redeemer, is another little quirky spot in  Edinburgh that I completely recommend you try with a 50's Cinema vibe. Alcoholic Ice Cream Machine, Claw Machine full of Cocktail ingredients for a bespoke drink the place has a lot to offer.

The staff are lovely and helpful and its a great spot to take a photo or fifty.

Private Detectives // Project 365 // Day 352

Once Byrant and Mack now Bullard and Worth Private Detectives Club, is one of my favourite haunts in Edinburgh a small intimate venue with small quirks and a great atmosphere.


When you arrive you may be put off by the exterior that looks like it is in fact uninhabited, you must knock on the door to be welcomed inside. Where you will be seated and brought menus as if there were cases you were looking over. As you now are a Private Detective going about your business in the dimly lit bar.

Next time your wandering about Rose Street I very much recommend giving this place a look.

Lil' Break // Project 365 // Day 347

At the end of November I took my friend away for her birthday that wasn't until the 11th of December. Mainly cause we both work in retail which makes December birthdays hard.

So we grabbed a little overnighter in the Capitol.

Fringe // Project 365 // Day 249

It's September now, but I wanted all my Crete photos together. The Fringe takes place in Edinburgh in August and for the last 8 years I've made a habit of attending.

There's an energy to this place, a natural want to be there, whilst its all a bustle.

Make Effort for People who Make Effort for You // 365 project // Day 6

Yesterday I wrote about how I was miles outside my comfort zone going to a day out for a birthday of a friend. And one of my reasons for going was challenging myself outside of my comfort zone. Seeking new and unfamiliar territory. 

The main reason though was that this year my aim is to make effort for people who make effort for me. And my friend is someone who makes effort to see me, to text. And this year I want to make sure I’m returning the favour. Not just for her but all the people in my life who make the effort. 

I’m going to stop putting a lot of effort into one sided friendships. And start putting in effort to the people who can often be taken for granted because they're always there. 

Putting in the effort can be rewarding, whither instantaneous like last night where going out resulted in meeting friendly new people and discovering new cocktails bars that I will certainly be returning to.  Other times it may take a while to see your effort paid off like with exercise or eating healthier but no matter the case if you put effort into the right things then you will reap the positive side effects.
