For my Nineteenth Birthday I visited the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand!

I had been so excited about going to this after I booked it back in January so I was practically bouncing by the time I actually got there! I booked this trip as my brother had been the previous year and told me how cool it was! 

It was such an incredible experience.

i turned eighteen!

I am finally an adult. omg. My actual birthday was at the end of April but because there are so many consecutive birthdays at my school I actually went to another guy's Hawaiian themed party! So this post is kinda a mini birthday haul...

Maybe I Ate Too Much Cake...

Okay, so a few weeks ago I did a post about what was on my birthday wishlist, and now my birthday has been and gone I thought I would show you lovelies what I got!

DVDs

These have to be my favourite movies at the moment, especially Frozen! I definitely turn into a big kid whenever I hear "Do you wanna build a snowman?"

Real Techniques Core Collection

Yes, I have finally joined the band wagon and got these amazing brushes. And I am so glad I did! They are sooooooooo good! 

Deaf Havana Vinyl

This is one of my favourite bands at the moment and I am so excited to see them at Reading Festival this year!

World Map

As mentioned in my initial wishlist post, I asked for a world map so that I could plan where I wanted to travel on my gap year and now here it is pride of place on my wall.

Tickets to see Fame!

My boyfriend is officially the best! He is taking me to see Fame! at the Bristol Hippodrome! He is actually going to sit through a musical for me! I feel so lucky...

Perfume

His Mum also got me a top up of my favourite person from Nina Ricci...

Scarf

And his Dad and his Dad's girlfriend got me this beautiful scarf from Fat Face!

Meanwhile, my own parents got me the other things above along with some money for driving lessons which I can start as soon as I sort out my provisional licence!

My day was so lovely (except the mock exam I had to take) and so full of food!! Me, my boyfriend and my family went to a restaurant in Cotham called The Burger Joint and their food looks like this:

Definitely an A++ for lushness of food!! 

That's all for now!

My Birthday Wishlist!!

Hello hello hello!

In two weeks will be my 17th birthday! So I thought I'd do a quick little post about what I have put on my wish list.

1. Driving Lessons!! 

Finally, I have reached the age when I can learn to drive and buy a car and be able to get myself to places without having to rely on other people or public transport! (although I do love getting the train!)

Dream car! 

2. New Balance 574 in Grey and Purple

I love these shoes as the colours go with pretty much any outfit as well as being very comfortable to wear at sixth form, so they'll get worn a lot!

3. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire DVD

This movie was probably the best sequel I have ever watched! (well except Harry Potter...but that's coming from a hardcore Potterhead) and I cannot wait for both parts of Mockingjay. There has only been four books I've cried at and Mockingjay was one of them.

     4. An Earring Holder/Earring

It's been something I've been meaning to get for a while as at the moment I only have a pot for my earrings, which makes it difficult to find a matching pair. I also need new earrings as the ones I have are boring me at the moment!

I'm thinking something similar to this...

5. Deaf Havana "Old Souls" Vinyl

Hey, some people may call me an indie-wannabe but I love the sound of vinyls compared to CDs and Deaf Havana is a band that I've recently got into AND I get to see them live at Reading Festival!!







6. Frozen DVD

Yes I admit it, I do want to build a snowman! I initially didn't see this film and watched it at a friend's request - I LOVED IT! If you haven't seen it, do!





7. A World Map

A bit of a weird one some people might think but after I finish sixth form I'm planning on taking a gap year and stereotypically travelling as much as possible so I can work out what I want to do with my life! Hopefully a map will help me plan where I want to go!





8. Real Techniques Core Collection

I'm not going to pretend that I am pro at make up or anything but I would just really like some great brushes to work with! All of the reviews from the hundreds of beauty bloggers has made me want them so bad!

I am so excited for this birthday for some reason! Leave a comment below with what's on your wish lists at the moment!
