Aloha! Tuesday (21st July), was my 23rd Birthday! I'm getting old! I thought I'd do a little post about some of the lovely gifts I received! I'm very lucky to have such generous family and friends!

So here are the gifts I received! 

Yankee Candle Butterfly Burner

Yankee Candle Easy Clean Jar Melts in Bahama Breeze, Sun & Sand, Pink Sands, Lavender Vanilla & Buttercream. All of these scents except Pink Sands are discontinued so I'm pretty impressed Mikey managed to get hold of them!

Village Candle Medium Jars in Summer Breeze & African Safari fragrances. 

I've heard many good things about Village Candle so I'm very excited to try these!

Sanctuary Spa Gift Set & Handmade floating flower candles

L'Occitane Gift Set

This was a gift from my lovely friend at work!

I'm excited to try these out! It's a brand I haven't tried before, so even better!

I bought these with some of the money I was given! 

I've used the same make up for years and decided it was time for a change! 

So far, I love them both!

Yankee Candle Plate

Yankee Candle Tarts in Citrus Tango, Vanilla Chai, Fruit Fusion, Black Plum Blossom & Beach Flowers

Yankee Candle Car Jars

Again I bought these with some of the money I got. My local Yankee Store have a sale on...can you tell?

And you can expect some haul posts, as I've got plenty of vouchers to spend too!

Woohoo!

So that was my birthday treats! I'm so lucky to have such generous family & friends!

Blogger Secret Santa #1

Hello Everyone! During December, I took part in two blogger secret santa's. I really enjoyed shopping for someone I didn't know, and using their blog to help me pick gifts! The first secret santa I took part in was run by Becky at milkbubbletea. My gift were sent to me by the lovely Adrienne at TheSundayGirl. I love my gifts I was sent! 

The first parcel I unwrapped were these awesome cat gloves from ASOS. They have those little things on the fingers so you can still use your touchscreen phone without having to take your gloves off! Perfect for me, as I'm always playing on my phone in the morning whilst I'm on a freezing cold bus to work!

The second parcel I unwrapped was this lovely cat purse from New Look! I have been looking for a new purse as mine is getting rather old and this is just adorable! Also it has plenty of card slots which is a must for me! 

Also included in my package was lots of yummy chocolatey treats in the form of roses and milka! I will have to get them scoffed before I go back on my diet in January! 

Thank you so much to Adrienne for my lovely gifts!

The Sunday Post#1- Valentine's Weekend

Hello Everyone! :)
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend! Welcome to my new feature as well, The Sunday Post!
Now it is not very often I get a weekend off, but this weekend I managed it! Here's what I've been up to on my weekend off!

Friday
Of course, Friday was valentine's day! I was a very lucky girl, indeed! My wonderful partner bought me the 'think pink' lush gift set and a black cherry yankee candle!

This is an amazing gift set! Everything smells soooo good and I can't wait to use them all! Expect many a lush related blog post in the next few weeks! My yankee candle will be a great accompaniment at bath time! 

After receiving these lovely gifts, my partner took me out to a gorgeous french restaurant for dinner! The food was amazing! I wasn't brave enough to try the frog's legs or snails though! 

This was my outfit for dinner. My dress is from New Look and my cardigan is from Primark. I put my hair extensions in for the first time in ages just for a bit of added volume (not that I need it!) P.s excuse the mess on the bed! I changed outfits about 20 times! 

Saturday

It was my cousin and my great auntie's birthday's over the weekend. They both live in Darlington so we don't get to see them often but since they were both celebrating big birthdays we headed down for a little party! It was so lovely to see all my family down south for the first time in years! 

This was the only photo I took from the party! We dressed my cousin up in a bubble wrap suit which everyone wanted to pop! My mum has loads of good photos from the evening so I'll just have to steal hers! Anyway, lots of drinks were consumed and good food had, so overall a great evening! 

Sunday

And finally, on to today! 

This was our view from our hotel room window this morning! What a beautiful morning it was! We headed to my aunt's for breakfast (which was amazing!) and then we headed on our way up the road after saying our goodbye's to everyone. 

So that pretty much sums up my weekend! I've really enjoyed being able to chill and spend time with my family, shame it can't happen more often!

Hope you've all had a great weekend too! What have you all been up to?
