Guess what!? I turned 24!! So I thought I would write a
quick post to thank all the wonderful people who helped me celebrate. I had a
fantastic birthday weekend full of laughter, food and of course- GIN!
My birthday celebrations started with a cheeky Clinique make
over during my lunch break with the lovey Elanor from Tiggy Poes andFlutterbys. Our readers will know how much we love this brand so you can
imagine our excitement. Our two makeup artists Rachael and Jordan complimented
us perfectly! We left looking absolutely beautiful! Me with an in-your-face lip
and Elanor with traffic-stopping eyes! I bought the Pop Liquid Matte lip colour
in Candied Apple Pop and lipliner in Intense Jam. They were even lovely enough to
give the Bonus Time gift bag! Then it was back to the office to finish work
before party time in one of my favourite bars- Bar Home. And yes a lot of
G&Ts were consumed before dancing the night away in Glasgow’s resident rock
club The Cathouse. Needless to say the next day was a couch day! With a lovely visit from my mum and partner who bought me an every so pretty 2-tier cake stand and a bottle of wine!
When my actual birthday arrived I was super excited! No
matter how much I moan about getting older I’ll always wake up feeling like a
child! It does help though when you have a hungry cat prodding your face
because she wants fed! It’s my birthday shouldn’t Eve be bringing me breakfast
in bed? Bus alas cats have no thumbs! When I did get out of bed there was a
lovely gift waiting on me courtesy of my flatmate. A Harry Potter t-shirt! Who
doesn’t love HP? I can’t wait to wear it!!
When I got to work there was a lovely gift bag sitting on my
desk from my amazing work wife (who got me the wife birthday card) Elanor! Now I’ve had 24 birthdays so I should
know how they work. Isn’t it tradition to gift something the birthday girl/guy
likes? Apparently I was wrong because in Elanor’s attempts to make me like The
Walking Dead, you may recall I had to read The Rise of the Governor for
book club, she bought me season 1 of the show and a comic book. I DON’T LIKE
ZOMBIES! But waste not want not…anyone want to buy a comic book and dvd? Jokes!
I will one day give it a try! She did also get me a lovely comic book about the
Mighty Women of Science which I love!! My dearer readers will know my passion
for inspiring young girls into a career in science. She also got me 3, yes 3,
count with me..1,2,3 packets of my new favourite crisps from M&S- Cheese
Tasters! Another lovely dear from work got me the cocoa gin set from Hotel
Chocolat-can’t beat a bit of chocolate and gin!
My lovely birthday ended with my flatmate and I enjoying gorgeous pizza at Paesano then heading to see Finding Dory at our local cinema. Perfect way to celebrate a birthday is seeing a kids film if you ask me! Never too old for some Disney!
My lovely best friend has promised me a spa day/trip because I’ve worked so hard the past year. He is THE BEST! Can’t wait for that and to of course she it with you!
And obviously no birthday is complete without cake-I GOT TWO! A chocolate haggis and a delicious carrot cake!
Highlight of the day? Convincing some street campaign worker that I was in fact 17 years old!
All there is to say now is a final thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday so special! I’m looking forward to what the next year will bring!
Pst…I got some amazing work news yesterday too but I can’t share that right now so keep tuned because I’m almost bursting with excitement!
