19th Birthday and Gift Haul!

Hello everyone!

It’s been a crazy long but amazing couple of weeks! It was my 19th birthday on the 17th August and it’s finally time to sit down and have a rest before uni begins again!

On my actual birthday my sister, boyfriend and I had the day at Thorpe Park and it’s such a great theme park! Probably the best I’ve been to! There are so many big white knuckle thrilling rides- the weather was glorious too which made it even better

We had to get up at 6am and I was greeted by my sister bringing in a Frozen birthday cake with princess candles! (Yes, turned 19) Then we sat on the bed and opened gifts and I got some lovely things

We were then off on the road to Thorpe Park and we packed a picnic to eat throughout the day- then driving back we stopped off at a food court that had selection galore!! We could choose from chinese, Indian, mexican, KFC, McDonald’s, Carvery, Starbucks- the lot! We ended up sitting altogether and sharing food and it was a nice end to the day

We got back around 10pm and we had been out the house for about 16 hours and I had to pack and get up early the next day to travel from Worcester to Birmingham- I got 8 free Krispy Kreme donuts and an Eds Easy Diner milkshake for free as a birthday complimentary gift and we saw Inside Out!

We then traveled back to Doncaster the next day we got ready for my birthday meal out to meet all my friends and boyfriend Joe- we went to a restaurant called Zest (my favorite place!) and I also got a 3 course meal for free and my friend even paid for my drinks!

It was lovely to see my friends who I haven’t seen for months, maybe even a year- they even put a candle in my pudding to sing happy birthday for me!

We then went to a few bars for cocktails and then went to an 60/70/80’s bar called Flares and ended up doing shots- even bacon flavoured ones which was disgusting! And ended the night at 2am on karaoke which was hilarious and photo booths!

Then I visited my nan and opened more presents and cards from friends and family

So I thought I would show you the lovely bits I got from family and friends 🙂 Aswell as the things I bought with birthday money

My sister got me these adorable Olaf jogging bottoms which are so comfortable! I love Olaf

She also got me this super cute vest which ties at the bottom and has a tropical print of birds and gardens- I wore it to thorpe park with some high waisted denim shorts and it looked so good

She got me this beautiful pink and white/off yellow underwear set (im a sucker for underwear) It’s hard to see the colour on the photo

She also got me one of these foundation make up egg sponges that everyone has been going crazy over and It works really well

She also got me a card with money inside and my adorable Frozen cake!

My boyfriend bought me a gorgeous Pandora Bangle along side this Rose Gold white daisy charm which is adorable! Absolutely in love

He also got me some Tsum Tsums! Doc and Dopey from Snow White! 🙂

I got money in my cards from my sisters parents in law and my boyfriends parents to which I bought the Nightmare Before Christmas Tsum Tsums with!

My nan bought me my entire birthday outfit; playsuit, shoes, bag and necklace which are all gorgeous!

I got a lovely bunch of gifts and cards from my friends too; I got this adorable friendship elephant bracelet and giant lush bath bomb that exploded with confetti

I also got a big pack of marshmallows and roses chocolates (they are long gone)

Another friend got me this beautiful blue and silver necklace from Accesorize

I also got a really cute owl water bottle and this really cool cute hipster Pug that waves when it’s in the sunlight! Along side these adorable nail decors

Another friend also just visited Disneyland Orlando and brought me some adorable Mickey and Friends cookies back

With birthday money I bought these adorable Minnie and Mickey van like shoes- Vans were selling disney editions but we’re incredibly expensive but these are just as good- if not cuter

Victoria Secret PINK had a mini sale too! And I’m like a kid in a sweet shop for PINK stuff- I got this baby blue jumper with a hood and key hole back for £20.50 down from £40 and these yoga shorts down to £11

I was also running low on foundation so I decided to try the wake me up foundation as it was on sale for £5.99 from £8.99 and my sister recommends it as a good drug store product

Primark also had a sale on pyjamas and I needed some bed shorts as the warmer nights make it hard to sleep in full legs- I got this cute grey pair for £1 that say ‘pass me the popcorn’ which also matches a popcorn PJ top I already have!

I also saw this Mickey Mouse American style oversized PJ top a while ago and kept going back to it, and im glad I left it as I found it again on the sale rail for £3!

I’ve started to organise my make up too and for Christmas from my sister I got a white wooden organiser stand. My Nan got me another one that has larger compartments for my perfumes

I also got two more Alice in Wonderland Tsum Tsums; Queen of Hearts and the Mat Hatter

I still have a couple things to open from friends I haven’t seen yet but that sums up most of it! 🙂 It’s been another great birthday- last year of being a teenager too! Scary!

Happy Celebrations! x

ABC Dating- ‘D’ Date! Dungeons and Diner

Hey everyone 🙂

More of a personal one today; it was Joe’s turn to do the date for this month and his letter was D and he chose; Dungeons and Diner!

I was nervous about the York dungeons, never been so I had no idea what to expect but it was so so good! It was scary but funny and you learnt quite a lot!

The actors would spook you and make you laugh, lots of interactive aspects too and effects such as lighting and smells

We booked for the 1pm tour and there were 9 others; when we got there there was a green screen and someone asked us who was guilty today? I automatically pointed to Joe (haha) and he got given a plaque saying he was guilty of ‘spreading the plague’ and we got our photo taken, they then told us to look down at this splodge on the floor and look terrified (me being the drama student, I went full on ‘crappy my pants’ mode) and Joe looked pretty funny

And then we sat in a dark room whilst thing man hung up on the wall chatted to us, was a projection of a face on a body and it was so dark I could not see a darn thing, we had to wait a little while until more people came and then it began!

Joe even bought me the program 🙂 

Won’t give any spoilers just in case people wanna do it but basically you go through different times in history such as Guy Fawkes, Henry the V||| and tourture, prisons and disease while actors tell you the story and you act as peasants called the ‘still living’

It was nerve racking going into new rooms and opening doors not knowing who would pop out!

Joe even got chosen in the court room to step up and accused of wearing a blonde wig, lipstick and dress and walking around asking for boys! He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to have his fingers pulled off and fed to him… nice!

I was pretty scared for a lot of it, very jumpy and dark and scary but really fun too! They have some other dungeons in London, Amsterdam, Edinburgh and a few others

It lasted about an hour and ten minutes, we then ended up in the gift shop and saw that our photos that were taken had cool backgrounds; a court room, a grave yard and a surgeons room with a dead body and we decided to buy two and I love them!

We then caught the bus to the York Designer Outlet, not to shop but for the food court for Eds easy diner!

Im on a diet and exercise plan at the moment but today was my cheat day! So it was a hot dog and chips for me with onion rings and a mocha shake! Felt like a right fatty after

It’s been a great D date and it’s my turn next week to do E! I’ve got something planned and Im excited but I can’t say just in case he see’s 😉

I do recommend going to the dungeons whichever one is closest to you! They are probably all different so hopefully I can check another one out soon

Until next time!

Happy Dating! x

Alphabet Dating! A-C done so far!

Hi everyone!

This one is more of a life-style dating review and fun idea as well that my boyfriend and I are doing, as well as my sister and her partner!

The idea of alphabet dating is easy and fun; you take it in turns of taking the next letter in the alphabet starting from A each month and set up a date with something beginning with that letter!

It makes you think about more interesting and different dates and of course is super fun!

January

We started with myself on the letter A, I decided on All you can eat! So we went to Cosmo in York to feast!

Other ideas you could have for A:

• Arcade
• American Diner
• Art Gallery
• Archery

February

Joe had B so we did Bingo! Unfortunately we didn’t win but it was fun nonetheless 🙂

Other B date ideas:

• Bowling
• Baking day
• Ballet Class
• Burgers

March

This month was my turn with the letter C! We got to spend our Anniversary in Disney land too! So we did the Castle!

We did Ceramic Painting where together we painted a Piggy Bank at a place called Rainbows Ceramic Painting Studio and it was so fun! We did a pretty good job! We then did Chinese and Curry and Cakes for evening dinner out!

Other C date ideas:

• Cinema
• Cafe
• Cooking Class
• Trip to the Coast

It’s Joe’s turn next month to do D… I’m already ahead and sorted for E in May but I can’t say because he has a blog on here himself so don’t want to ruin the surprise 😉

It’s fun, it’s exciting to wonder what the next date will be and where it will take you!

Next Month I’ll update you on what our D Date was like!

Try it out! You could even do it with friends or family 🙂

Happy Alphabet Dating! x
