Free tickets to see a screening of the action movie The Raid have been released. It’s in Indonesian so there will be subtitles and it’s an 18. See the link below for free tickets:
Hope you manage to grab some! Unfortunately none for Edinburgh, maybe more codes to come though.

I have a thing for bowls. I wanna have lots of different coloured and sized ones to put sweets, crisps, dip, popcorn and anything in. I love watching movies with a load of them filled with a selection of stuff that I can pick and choose from. Maybe it’s just that I’m lazy and like to eat sweets – it’s easier to get to them when they’re not in a packet. But I could say it’s ‘portion control’ instead ;)
Sadly my cupboards in the kitchen are teeny so I can only have a couple, but I enjoy window shopping for bowls almost as much as owning them. Is that weird?
Here are a few of my current favourites a long with some cute bento boxes:
As well as bowls, I want to own a Bento box. I think they are so cool with compartments and stuff and not clunky like lunch boxes which hardly fit in my bag. I especially like the Aladdin one seen above as it’s fully sealable and can store both hot or cold food and keep it that way. Although i’d get the smaller size, this one can be for Jon! I don’t enjoy lunch at uni because it’s normally a squashed sandwich, but with a bento box I think I’d experiment a lot more and take pasta, couscous etc with me – so much better!
So anyone else like me that loves bowls? Or maybe its spoons or dessert plates? (Both of which I love btw)

I’ve had a busy week the past week and thought it’s time to catch up with everything whilst I have some time before dinner and a movie night with Jon :)
On Sunday we both volunteered at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Edinburgh Half Marathon, which was really fun and it was such a nice sunny day. We were over at Holyrood park all morning and after holding rope for the corral starts we ate hotdogs before the runners started to come through the finish line with the female winner after 1hr 16mins! We were working at the chip retrieval where we clipped the chips off people shoes, yum. Was a great day, maybe some time we’ll be running it :p
Afterwards we went to Usher Hall to see Bang Goes the Theory Live (not to be confused with the Big Bang Theory)! We managed to get free tickets and it was pretty good. Lots of kids though and I was sat by a boy who couldn’t stop jumping up and down in his seat so I was flinging around lol, that was quite annoying after a while… Was an entertaining show though for all the family and educational too, and the audience were involved which the kids loved. It was my first time inside Usher Hall and it’s a really nice venue.
On Monday – Wednesday Jon had family up to visit which was lovely. It’s so good when we have visitors, sucks we are so far away! They were staying in an amazing apartment right in town with heated floors which were so nice and even a garden. Hate how cold our flat is :( There was this mirror in the lounge which I love:
It’s made of magazine pages rolled up in to squares. So I had a look at how to make it and found lots of other things to make with magazine paper which I pinned on Pinterest (so addictive!)
Before Jon’s family had to leave back to Cardiff we had free cocktails at the Rutland Hotel Bar :D They were so good – in order of yummiest:
Would definitely go back there for more!
We also had a wander around the shops, and went to Anthropologie which I’d never been to before but Jon’s parents had been whilst in the US. It’s such a nice shop, pretty expensive, but they had a sale! Jon’s Mum found this plate and we had to get it, down to £3 from £12:
So now they’ve gone back we are sad they’ve gone and we have to get back to studying. Revision plan has kicked back in and my first exam is this Tuesday… :/ Starting to stress but thing like tea, cake and highlighters make it all a bit better.
So that’s my week so far. The rest will be a nice evening tonight then stuck at my desk trying to get all this revision in to my head. I shall be sleeping with symbols in my dreams.

Can’t wait for May 14th when my exams will be over so I can start seeing movies again!!

Free tickets to see Café de Flore have been released for screenings on the 23rd April at 18:30. It’s a french movie so will be subbed and I haven’t heard much about it but it could be a good one. Grab them before they’re gone!
Thanks to holly100 (HUKD)

A couple of days ago I had a bit of time spare so painted my nails. I used Max Factor’s nailfinity in Red Passion that I had for my bday. It’s a lovely vibrant red. I used the nail art pen again that I used here, and painted on some dots. The pen’s great for doing polka dots, just make sure to put a clear coat of varnish on top or they might chip off. I think they look kinda ladybuggy/watermelony, nice and summery :)

It’s Easter tomorrow, woo! So today I’ve been busy making cupcakes with my favourite things ever – mini eggs. I usually use a flake on them too but I didn’t buy any so they’re a bit less chocolatey than normal, but still just as tasty.
I used my Tala icing bag, and tried out a different nozzle on the one cupcake – can you spot it? :p
Have you done any Easter inspired baking? I’d love to hear about your creations!

I’ve recently seen a number of different codes available for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen so I thought I’d collectively put them together for those wishing to see it. I’m not able to make any of these screenings and probably won’t be going to the cinema now until after exams – boo :( But here they are, enjoy!
Hope you manage to get some!
