Hello! I’m taking some time to give the site a bit of a makeover (cue the montage a la the best kind of 80s movies), so there’s not much to look at right now! I’ll be back soon(ish). In the meantime, you can keep up with the podcast and listen back to over 50 episodes over here. The post Be Right Back… appeared first on Lynsay Loves ..read more

The Woman in Black After really enjoying The Exorcist live show last year, I’ve made it my mission to catch more scary stories at the theatre. Glasgow’s Theatre Royal and King’s Theatre both have fantastic programmes for 2020, with a few spine-chillers mixed in for good measure! Recently, Gary and I went along to King’s Theatre to see The Woman in Black, a show that has been creeping out audiences (in a good way!) for over thirty years. Based on Susan Hill’s novel, it tells the story of a lawyer, Mr Kipps, who has been assigned to sort out the affairs of a recently deceased eccentric ..read more

In Glasgow, festivals really do come in all shapes and sizes, bringing people together to celebrate everything from culture to coffee. This month kicks off one of my favourites in the city’s calendar, Glasgow Film Festival 2020! With a jam-packed line-up of over 380 films, screenings and special events over the course of 12 days, there’s never been a better time to head to the cinema. Glasgow Film Festival 2020 is the 16th year of the festival and there’s a lot to look forward to: from a whopping 102 UK premieres to a wonderful mix of cult cinema and classic favourites. There’s a few sc ..read more

Lynn McGarry My Local Lovin’ series started as a spotlight on designers / stores / creators of marvellous things (and anything else that catches my eye) – all based here in Scotland. I believe that we should be supporting our amazing home-grown talent, so I decided to keep Local Lovin’ as a permanent feature! Last summer, Lynn McGarry very kindly featured me as part of a Follow Friday over on her Instagram (@lynn_doodles). I was actually in Walt Disney World at the time and got a notification on my phone – regular readers will know by now that it takes a LOT to get my attention when I’m ..read more

Let’s talk… Lush Valentine’s Day Gifts Mes amours! Have I ever told you just how much I love Valentine’s Day? I’m pretty sure I have, but today I’m going to chat about it again for the people at the back who may have missed it! To be honest, I enjoy the international day of lurrrve in the same way I am a big fan of Christmas and Halloween. So, let me be clear in my reasoning: this gal loves a strong theme! From food to accessories to playlists, if it can be pulled together in a visual, fun and inexpensive way, I will be right in about it. Don’t get me wrong, I also love LOVE. Love m ..read more

A Staycation at YOTEL Edinburgh I’ve always been a big fan of a change of scenery – whether it’s using a new workspace for a meeting, trying a different coffee shop, or spending a Saturday in a new (to you) neighbourhood; I firmly believe that switching things up can do wonders! At the end of what felt like a seventy day long January, Gary and I decided to take some time off together and recharge a bit. Switching on that Out of Office and popping our work things away for a week felt very satisfying! And, by way of excellent timing, the lovely team at YOTEL got in touch to see if we’d li ..read more

Making it Happen in 2020 with Collins Oh, hello! It’s been a minute since we last chatted, hasn’t it? I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and your year has got off to a smashing start. January was a very busy month around here! Before I knew it, it was the end of the month and – BAM – we’re now officially in February. I’ve spent a lot of time having a think about what 2020 means to me. This year, I want to practice what I preach a bit more and invest in myself. I want to set myself stretching (y’know, in the right way!) personal goals, develop my skills aaand I also have a few lof ..read more

Want Scottish Christmas gift ideas? I got ’em! With just less than a week to go until Christmas, this is probably going to be my final festive post before the main event (you can catch up on my recent gift inspiration posts here and here, and my guide to indie shopping here!).

As well as supporting brilliant Scottish businesses, these treats are ones that I think are particularly awesome and would be de ..read more
