Welcome!!!

Hi, my name is Blessing Havana. My friends call me Bee or Bless, I actually prefer Princess Bibi hehe. I'm currently studying abroad for a semester at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, UK and I created this blog just as way for family and friends to keep up with what's going on here. I am very excited for what God is going to do in my life and through me while I'm here, I'm excited to meet new people, to make covenant friends, and to learn things that will change the way I look at Scotland, and at life. My goals: to grow immensely in every possible way, to be used by God and to walk in my purpose, to have a GREAT time and to lose a little bit of weight (hold me accountable ya'll).
So friends, I hope you join me on this journey...it will be fun and I'll do my best to keep you posted.
Much love,
Princess Bibi :)

Have we talked about FOOD?






Hmmm, now as a lover of food (who isn't really), I just have to tell ya'll about my food experience! I am very picky when it comes to food, plus I get bored of stuff really easily. So some foods I loved for a while, but it didn't last, and some are still the BEST! Okay, pay close attention now, don't say I didn't warn you, LOL!

IRON BRU- that's a specifically Scottish fizzy drink. You can only find it in Scotland and it is a-mazing. I only had it about three times but I'm sure if I had it again it would still taste the same. Viva Scottish Iron Bru! :)

Haggis- this is a Scottish dish, I only had the vegetarian one although I hear the chicken one is pretty good too. We actually had haggis as our stuffing for the turkey on Thanksgiving. It has these wheat-looking grains in it, tastes really good, you must try it for the ultimate Scottish experience. That and deep-fried mars bar. Basically a bar of chocolate coated with a special batter and deep-fried. Okay, ignore the calories and try it, it's really good!

Digestives and Cadbury chocolate drink- this was my typical snack for the first month in Scotland. Unfortunately it grew old for me, but it's pretty popular around here. If you're a chocolate lover, there are chocolate-coated digestives and they will make you smile, trust me on that one hehe.

Gregg's bakery products- I might be biased on this one since I generally love baked goods. Almost everyone loves Gregg's food. For me in particular I'd say the chicken steak pie, it's to die for omg! And the belgian bun is another one, because it has raisins in it!!! But seriously, you want to pay a visit to this bakery :)

Muller Yogurt- It's my personal favorite right now. Comes in lots and lots of exciting flavors, with a side compartment with stuff to put in the yogurt. My personal favorite is the fruit, makes you feel less guilty than other sugary stuff don't you think?

I went through a sandwich phase, but it passed. No bread please. I also went through a pasta phase, please don't give me pasta. Also a sadza (my staple food) phase- very very short I tell you, an oatmeal phase, and a chocolate peanuts phase. Very few foods have stood the test of time, congratulations to those that have...and to those that fell by the wayside, they too have contributed to the great Scottish experience.
Ah my friends, sorry I don't have many pictures of my foods, LOL, much love!
