You might have guessed from all the autumnal colours, but I actually visited Blair Atholl back in October. I've been so busy writing about California that all the other small trips I've taken have been neglected on the blog! Blair Atholl is a castle in Scotland close to Pitlochry, with a huge estate. I stayed in a large house close to the castle with a bunch of my Edinburgh friends. The turning leaves,

At the beginning of summer last year, I went on a beautiful yoga retreat with my mum. The yoga instructor gave us each a tub of homemade moisturizer and homemade sugar scrub.

These eczema relief bath melts have been a lifesaver for me over the past year. I'm sure I'll write about this in more detail soon, but a couple of years ago I developed eczema out of the blue. I'm convinced it was stress related, but I still haven't been able to shake it. It mostly effects my hands, the inside of my elbows, behind my knees and the top of my eyelids (lucky me).
