My best friends always surprise me with the awesomest things, leaving me standing there in shock holding my gift and not knowing how to react... Hence why I wanted to make this post so I can remember the things I got for my 21st and how I felt about them!
From my best friend Lauren whom I have been friends with for more than half my life:
A Marc Jacobs wallet! She's too kind, I was so speechless when I got it because I would never get anything like this for myself! I was also in desperate need of a new wallet, so this is super fantastic :)
From Alex who just came back from a trip to Singapore and Hong Kong:
A very cute panda zip-up case and some of the most delicious smelling hand sanitisers! People really know I like them antibacterial things!
From my bae Angela:
My second ever Pandora charm for my leather bracelet - a 21. Perfect little charm for a 21st gift! I was never that into Pandora until I realised the sentimentality of getting charms for different occasions, it's a pretty interesting concept despite being a piece of jewellery.
More from Angela, she spoiled me with so many things that I like and use everyday!
So excited to use these brushes, they feel so soft and dreamy...
This, smells amazing. It smells fresh, fruity and vibrant, and I absolutely LOVE pear!!! Which I actually find hard to come by, anything pear flavoured and scented.
A reed diffuser with a musky and floral scent - she knows what I like!
From Thomas who also brought me treasures from his trip to Singapore and Hong Kong:
Mega dark chocolate, mmmmm!
Tea from TWG Tea! I don't really know much about this brand, but after having a taste, I can see why it's famous.
I tested out the iced chai tea - I actually had it hot, without milk and with one teaspoon of raw sugar.
It tasted so good, more of a fruitier and spicier flavour than regular chai teas which I sometimes find to be a bit sickening - after a few sips I don't want anymore. But I couldn't get enough of this...
And the teabags are sooo pretty! One of them makes an entire pot, so at least 4 cups of tea.
Despite not being that big on celebrating birthdays and making it less of a big deal, I had a pretty good time this year. I went to two of my friends' birthday party to wish them a happy birthday and saw lots of old friends, as well as going out with some of my closest friends for the night for lots of fun and being silly in karaoke!
Hopefully this year will be good, and better than last year! I feel as though my birthday plays a huge factor in how the rest of the year will be like, being so early in the year that if I have a bad start, I usually dread the coming few months. Positivity is key!
