Birthday Presents | Random

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the final installment of my Birthday Presents series. It is now time for the things that can't really be put into any other categories except this one.


The first random thing is from one of my auntie's on my mum's side. It is a Tangle Teezer. I know this isn't really that random, but I am not going to make a hair edition of this series to have only one thing in. It works really good. I have wanted it for ages. I am so glad that I finally have it. You may see this is an upcoming favourites post. *hint hint*


The next thing I got is from my dad's auntie. It is a packet of chips. You may be thinking, "Who gets for chips on their birthday?",  well, I do. I love chips. If you have read my blog for a while, you will remember that I asked for (and got) a bucket Maltesers for Christmas. 


The next two things are also from my dad's auntie. The first of those is a makeup bag. It has loads of dresses on it. They are ones that you cut out and stick the tabs into the sides of the girls (like the ones on the bag). I really like it, but I do have about a MILLION makeup bags. Okay so maybe five or six. Slight exaggeration there...


The next thing is a Truth or Dare game. It has 50 cards in it and you draw them off a pile and do the dare or tell the truth. That is the game in a nutshell. Also, it has a Pugasus on the front! It used to have a sticker on the front to tell you what it was, but my brother pulled it off.


The next things I got are from various school friends. The first of those is an owl bookmark. It is really cool because it can loop around the pages or just clip onto one. That is particularly good if you have to read up to a certain point in the book. I had to do this in English class (I didn't get the bookmark until I finished the book, though). We read To Kill a Mockingbird, in case you were wondering.


From the same friend, I also got a pen. It looks like it has been covered in glue, dunked in glitter and 100's and 1000's. That is not a bad thing, but the things will fall off all through my pencil case and everywhere else. I like it a lot.


The second last thing I got is from a different friend; I would say that she is my second best friend and she is moving schools to be closer to her house*sheds a tear or two*. Anyway, she got me a pair of plain, gold studs. I love them, they are so nice and they are allowed to be worn at my school (the rules at my school are quite strict).


The last thing I got is from my best friend in the entire world. It is a plaque and it says:

 Friendship is not a big thing...
it's a million little things


That is the last of my birthday presents. I hope you enjoyed this series, I'll probably do a similar thing at Christmas time, so stay tuned for that!

Bye!

Birthday Presents | Fashion

Hi everyone,

Today is the day that I show you the fashion items (also known as clothes) that I got for my birthday!


The first clothing item I got for my birthday is from my mum. It is a pink fluffy jumper from Ice. It is really fluffy and really warm. It doesn't go with everything from my wardrobe, but I generally pair it with my black skinny jeans or something like that.


The next thing I got is also from my mum. It is a crochet, ombre, summer dress that I have wanted for ages. I just love the look of it and even though it is a *little* bit big for me now, by the time summer hits, it should fit nicely.


The last clothing item is from one of my aunties on my mum's side. It is not something you would wear out in public, but it is still an item of clothing so I'm putting it in this post. It is a grey, fluffy dressing gown from Cotton On Body. It is the softest thing I have ever felt. I wear it every night to keep me warm, but when I'm eating I take it off so I don't get food on it. I just love this dressing gown.


They are all the things I got for my birthday that are fashion related. I hope you enjoyed this post. Coming on Wednesday is the final installment of my Birthday Presents series. It is the random things that can't really be categorised into anything else.

Bye!

Birthday Presents | Body

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the second part of my Birthday Presents series. This is the one where you get to see what body products I got.

I also got a Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub, but I couldn't find it at the time of taking the pictures.

The first things I got are from one of my aunties on my mum's side. They are from Soap and Glory. They are the Sugar Crush body wash and the Daily Smooth. These smell absolutely amazing. I'm sure most of you know what they smell like, but Sugar Crush smells like Sweet Lime and the Daily Smooth smells like Sweet, Musky Flowers.

The next things I got are from my dad's auntie. They are 3 body washes from the brand Camille & Mae Toujours body washes in Rose and Vanilla, Lily and Lavender. They smell lovely. I am currently using the Rose and Vanilla one and I love it a lot.


From my mum I also got a Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. I love this. It tastes amazing. To me it tastes like raspberry cordial that has no water in it. It works really great too.



My grandma on my mum's side got me these next three things. They are all from The Body Shop. The first is  Almond Cuticle Oil. This works really well. You just twist the end to get the oil onto the brush thing and put a bit onto each of your cuticles and rub it in. Then you use the lid to push back your cuticle. I hate this bit, but because the lid is rubbery, it doesn't hurt as mush as a plastic one would.

This is The Body Shop's Almond Cuticle Oil. I'm sorry that it's not that clear what it says, but this is the best photo I have.
The next thing I got from her is the Strawberry hand cream. I put this on after I use the cuticle oil. This smells so good. And exactly like strawberries. I absolutely love it.


The last thing I got from her is the Big Nail Filer. I have to admit that I have not used this yet. I don't like the feeling of filing nails. Mum will have to teach me a thing or two about this because I have no clue how to do it.



 They are all the things I got for my birthday that were body related. The next in the birthday series goes up on Saturday and it is the Fashion part of the series.

Bye!
