Santa brought me....

First of all, I'd just like to say a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my lovely readers. I hope that you have all had an utterly amazing Christmas and New Year. I can't believe the holidays are over and after tomorrow, it will be back to reality again. Bah humbug.

I've been such a busy little bee over the holiday period, today is actually the first and only time I've actually been able to sit myself down and get a blog post up for you girlies. I'm hoping to do a "My Christmas" post with pretty much everything I have been up to. I enjoy sharing these things with you and I'd also love to hear what you've all been up to.

But for now, I'll leave you with a sneak peek to what Father Christmas left me under my Christmas tree;



* £400 cash to put towards moving in with my boyfriend

* Nikon Coolpix Camera L120

* Huge Soap & Glory set

* Little bits of Soap & Glory also

* Starbucks mug

I was extremely lucky to receive so many lovely items. All the presents are from my boyfriend and friends, where as the money is a collection from mine & my boyfriends parents. We asked for money this year as we are moving into our own house together in the new year! I'm super excited and can't wait to show you all what it looks like inside. A tour is deffo on the cards.

Something else I'm really excited about is that my lovely boyfriend surprised me with a new camera, so I'll hopefully be getting some really clear photos up on my future blog posts.

I hope you enjoyed this post. What did Santa bring you this year?

My Birthday Post!! Presents, OOTD etc..

Sorry I haven't posted a blog in a while, but as most of you will know, it was my Birthday last Tuesday. I've been so busy having fun, that I decided to conjure up this huge Birthday Post for you all to nosey at. This post will include what Birthday Presents I received, what I been up to, plus an Outfit of the Day.

On Tuesday 16th August, I turned the ripe old age of 25. Ahem, or as I like to call it; 21 Years and 48 Months. ha ha, i just add on another 12 months every year. Although, people always tell me I look a lot younger. Always a brucey bonus.

Let's get cracking with the best bit.....

Here's a closer look at everything..

I booked a few days off work to enjoy my birthday celebrations. What did I get up to? I hear you cry!

I've been a really busy little bee. On Saturday night, I had all the girls come round to mine to enjoy some pre-town drinks (cocktails which I prepared), Party Games, more cocktails and then we hit the town for some drunken antics!
Here are my friends tucking into the 'Sex on the Beach' cocktails I made. With special 'Lauren's Vodka measurements' ;) They sure did have a kick!

And finally, the most important part, which is of course the Birthday Dress!

Dress - ASOS
Shoes - Bank

Very excited about opening my Microdermabrasion session from my best friend.

If anybody is unsure to what Microdermabrasion actually is, I have put a link with an explanation above (in my gift list). It is basically a non-surgical face peel to remove and minimise signs of aging, wrinkles, age spots, freckles, acne, scars black heads and white heads. I'm really excited about it and have never had anything done like this before. I'm going to feel slightly like a celebrity having my special treatment!
If anybody is interested in having this done, I'll be doing a full blog post on my whole Microdermabrasion experience.


The party games..

As I mentioned before, all the girls came to mine Saturday night for drinks and party games. I couldn't leave you without some funny snaps we managed to get of us all participating in the silly party games. I'm such a random host and like to keep my guests entertained! Ha, ha.

To get the ball rolling we had a game of 'I Have Never'.

The rules? Big huge glass of cocktail in the middle complete with lots of straws. Go around the circle saying different things; eg: "I have never... been arrested." "I have never had sex on an Airplane" etc.
For those who have they have to take a drink from the middle. It's a great way to find out every bodies darkest secrets! Muhahaha!

Round 2: Pass the Cucumber.

Slightly like Pass the Parcel, only with a cucumber. The rules? You cannot use your hands. When the music stops, you're out!

Yes, I have a cucumber todger..

Round 3: Mummification.
The rules? Get into teams. You get one prop - a toilet roll. You have a one minute race to see who can get their team member the most "mummified". Ready... Steady.... GO!!!
 

Team one: Casey and Jess

Team 2: Abbie and Laura

Team 3: Elyse, Sarah and Nicky.

Team 4: Becky, Jess and Anita.

And the winners were; Elyse, Sarah and Nicky! Woohoo!

Here I am with my final contenders;

Round 4: How low can you go?

The rules? Pick up the said box with your mouth. The only part of your body allowed to touch the floor are your feet. For any of you who watch Celebrity Juice you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Haha!

Got to slide in a good old group shot. I love all of my friends so much!

Me and my Best Friend, Laura.

Me and my sister, Elyse.

We then all hit the town and met up with the rest of the clan.
Gotta have a Birthday Conga...

Little Pretty White Birthday Dress: £35.
Fake Tan: £25
Fluttery False lashes: £5
Punch machine: 50p
The look on randomers faces when I clock a decent score: PRICELESS!!!

(FYI - The top possible score is '999')

I have been told I have hidden strength, don't mess, innit.

Clearly loving life a teeny weeny bit too much! Needless to say I had a truly amazeballs night!


On Monday, my boyfriend, Lee and I headed to the seaside for a day filled with walking on the beach, going on rides, playing on the slot machines and waaaay too many sweets!

It just had to be done.

Then on the Tuesday, my friend Rachel and I headed off to Drayton Manor Theme Park/Zoo.

Croissants and Jam Donuts for breakfast, hmmm, ok!



A fun day filled with lots of sunshine, laughing, getting wet on rides, wanting to steal meerkats, being terrified and screaming my head off, plus lots lots more!

I really had such an amazing long Birthday weekend and I want to thank all of my family and friends for making it so special for me.

D'awwww I'm a cutie.

I hope you all enjoyed reading and looking at what I got up to!
