A Birthday Weekend Full of Cocktails
27 Aug 2020
On Friday I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in six months due to lockdown and honestly it was a great night to catch up on each other's lives and everything that's been happening with us! We chose to meet at Benedict's for dinner and some cocktails and the food was delicious... except the cheesecake but that's only because as it was my first time trying it and I am not a fan! If you love cheesecake, you'll enjoy it! The texture was just not for me!
My dinner:
Starter: Cheesy Garlic Bread
Main: Side of Mash, chunky chips and vegetables
Dessert: Malteser and Honeycomb Cheesecake
Cocktails: Strawberry Daiquiri x a few, Pink Panther & Fruit Blast
I'm really looking forward to the next time we meet up and hopefully it's not so long this time around. Look at that daiquiri though? Isn't it lush looking!

On Sunday the day of my birthday, my mum took me out to a restaurant I love, Romas! Again choosing Strawberry Daqs as they're my favourite! The food here is always mouth-watering and I had an absolute blast, with it being just the two of us. Again I opted for my usual mash, chunky chips and veg!
I know I should start checking out other options available but when you find something you love, it's nice to stick with it! It was so quiet and definitely a good time we chose to go.
My lunch:
Starter: Cheesy Garlic Bread
Main: Mash, Chunky chips and vegetables
Dessert: Chocolate Brownie with Ice-Cream
Cocktails: Strawberry daiquiri
I did manage to fit in a chippy with my Dad on the Saturday of course! It appears my whole weekend was filled with good food, company, and amazing cocktails! I have a feeling being twenty seven isn't going to be as bad as I initially thought.
Check out the outfit I'm wearing with my new yellow blazer on Instagram HERE and also my first ever reel HERE.
What do you think of the cocktails and food? How did you spend your weekend? Let me know in the comments below!

Hello August! Happy Birthday Month To Me!
1 Aug 2020
There are a few things I have planned this month including some things I'd like to do and last year I stopped writing to-do lists as I felt there was too much pressure to complete the tasks, a could do list though contains tasks I 'could' do but if I don't? Well there's no disheartening feeling and I can simply add them to the following months list.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
My August could do list -
- Zumba with Kat -
It's been quite a few weeks since I had my last virtual class and I'm wanting so bad to do it again but with not feeling the best I wasn't able to.
- Have an Ice-Cream Sundae -
- Start saving for Christmas -
- Collect shells at the beach -
I haven't been to a beach all summer and I had planned (in my head) so many beach visits so I'm determined to at least get there once before the summer ends and collect some shells for crafting.
- Donate to charity -
- Start making Christmas Cards -
- Have lunch with a friend -
- Do something for me -
I do have quite a few August plans I'm looking forward to such as cocktails with my bestie as I've not seen her since February which means there will be so much to catch up on! I have a night in planned and takeaway with my sister... I've gone through the list of takeaways I like and after all the many "no's" my sister said, we finally got a YES...no to Pizza though! Plus I'm grabbing a bite to eat with my mum and having our daily cocktail for my birthday!
I turn 27 which honestly stings me quite abit to say out loud and decided to have a massive clearout which meant finding some treasure in amongst quite a few cards I'd kept over the years. (why do we always keep birthday and Christmas cards?)
From the above pics you can see I still have two baby cards and a ladybird my Pappy got me I think for my third birthday that I used to take EVERYWHERE! I would walk for hours if it meant playing with this thing and it's still in an okay condition! You just won't see me taking it anywhere nowadays though.
Again I'm so looking forward to this month as it means we are also getting closer to Autumn nights and new wardrobe changes!
What do you most like about August? Let me know in the comments below!

A Birthday Message is all I Need.. or a real tiara will do!
21 Aug 2017
Growing up I've never enjoyed my birthdays from being center of attention, as a child sure I got the occasional silly gift, a bicycle, trampoline, mobiles and hundreds of barbies which made me the happiest girl ever but each time it came to making a wish by blowing out the candles on my birthday cake, things never came true! I never got that good singing voice, my sister never played barbies with me for a day and I never actually fell in love with Prince Harry. I did get a tiara though! Don't judge okay? It's not pretty being judgy!

| Tiara Megan got me years ago for my birthday! |
Over the years I've been told I'm hard to buy for, that I'm so indecisive and moneys better to give me but when truth comes to shove I'd rather just have that attention I hated so much as a child. I dislike people going out of their way to get me a gift, or giving me money when they're struggling enough as it is.
I have everything I want and need which is why I hope this year for my 24th I get to spend some time alone with my fiance to relax and watch a movie, to go for a walk with my mum and enjoy our giggling chats along the way and also to spend time with my sister as Megan loves my birthday. (I'm gonna force her to watch Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson.) Gotta have some influence and sway on my birthday!
All anyone needs on their birthday is a card to let someone know you're thinking of them. Christmas however? That's a whole different scenario! Christmas pressies all the way with ribbons, bows, glitter and sparkle! Won't be long tis the season starts...
What do you think of my post? Do you think people go overboard when they can't really afford it? Do you personally look for more than a card? Let me know in the comments below.
