Birthday Surprises

Hello! It was my birthday on Saturday - the big 17. How odd is it that at 23:59 I wasn't able to drive and 60 seconds later I am all of a sudden allowed to drive on the roads? Of course, I haven't passed yet but I did have my first lesson yesterday which was pretty good actually! I thought I'd share a couple of things I got for my birthday. I did ask for money as I wanted to pick myself up a couple of things that were specific to me and that I needed to go grab which I plan to show you in another post... Boring disclaimer alert: I'm not bragging, I love reading these posts so I thought you might too...

First of all, my friend got me this delicious pasta recipe book. Pasta is my favourite thing to cook and I shared this recipe towards the beginning of my blog that I kind of made up, kind of copied. That recipe is running a little dry so this is a great way to find even more ways I can eat pasta. I bloody love carbs. Help. My dad bought me a beautiful Tiffany bracelet back from New York which surprised me so much. It's so dainty and small which I love and it's something I can keep forever. Absolutely timeless. My friends all pitched in together to buy me an Instax Mini 8. I'd had my eye on this for a while so I was so excited about this. I love the idea of Polaroids and while you can easily print digital photos, not enough people do! Including me! If you cast your mind back to my birthday wishlist, I showed a Mulberry pouch on there with not-so-high expectations. However, my brother seemed to be able to find what I was looking for! And finally, a concealer I've been waiting to have in my collection for a while! I've used this before but never actually owned it and there is a lot of hype around it at the moment! I love a good concealer! I'm also getting my hair done tomorrow and am going a little lighters for summer which I'm really excited about! EEK!

Hope you are having a good week and half term if you're still at school!
