Over summer I spent a glorious long weekend with my family and James on the shores of Loch Tay. Loch Tay is in The Highlands, north of Edinburgh, but only a couple of hours in the car. The scenery is stunning - we took a detour into The Trossachs on the way home where I snapped a picture of the magical rainbow below. Scotland doesn't have very many trees, but they all seem to be living in The Trossachs.

I took these photos over Easter weekend with my lovely cousin Milly. Don't you think she looks just like me?! My mum grew up in South Africa and a lot of her family still live over there so I unfortunately don't get to see them too often.

Christmas day is the best! This year I wore a vintage 80s sparkly blouse, a skirt and jacket that I made and velvetine lipstick by Lime Crime in "Wicked" that Santa very kindly left in my Santa sack :) . In the morning Oscar and I opened our presents from Santa (yes he does still visit children in their 20s...), had a leisurely breakfast, cuddled Archie and we all opened a present from under the tree.

Things have been a little quiet on Jessthetics recently. I've been working full-time as a Christmas temp, trying to finish off homemade presents and getting ready to move back to York in January - I forgot how much hassle it is to find somewhere to live! I've not had much time to sit down with my computer and blog. My Christmas day was lovely and relaxed - exactly what I needed (especially since
