November: Lately I've Been Loving

My friend Jess sent me a gorgeous box of Sciolti Botanical Chocolates - which sure did put a smile on my face!  These delicious chocolates come in a range of exciting and unusual flavours. You can see the website here.





We had lunch at a local restaurant The Dogs - comfort food at it's very best! A quirky restaurant with mismatched glasses and plates. It has a buzzy atmosphere and serves great food. It's also very reasonably priced. They do a different menu at dinner - want to go soon! I ate a delicious and fresh tasting salad with crowdie cheese, salad leaves and salsa verde dressing and smoked fish kedgree with soft boiled egg. We shared a delicious lemon posset with an oat & ginger biscuit.





I also visited a great bar in Edinburgh called 56 North which serves a staggering 80 gins! They also offer gin classes - see here - think I must book one soon. Throughout December they are offering a Ginvent Advent - a different gin will be available with Fever Tree tonic for the 24 days of Advent at £2.95 a day.

I drank a very delicious cocktail - Cucumber Tea - which was made with Hendricks gin, cucumber, chamomile flowers, lemon and topped up with fizz. I love that it's served in a tea cup with saucer. 


The perfume which I've been wearing every single day in November is Shay & Blue Atropa Belladonna. I'm simply in love with it. See my recent review here.


The skincare product I can't live without is 001 Intensive Elixir* this amazing product makes my skin glow!  See my review here.


What have you been loving this month?
