21st Birthday Makeup

Today is my birthday! I turn the grand age of 21, just a year until I can sing the very famous Taylor Swift song (you know which one I mean). I haven't really been excited for this birthday, I've been more scared. I can't believe I am to be 21, basically a adult with a job and having to think about the future. The makeup that I wear for my meal out tonight is a signature look for me, I like to go all out but still keep it true to myself.  Its also a face full of makeup that I am low key obsessed with at the moment.

How To Throw The Best Tea Party

This weekend is the Her Majesty The Queen's Birthday! I am sure just like anybody else, she celebrates with her friends and families and marks the occasion. However, she must go all out - she is the Queen after all and this year she has a few new additions too. To mark the occasion I have teamed up with The Grand Hotel  to tell you how you can thrown the most epic tea party, whether it be this weekend for yourself, a gathering with friends or just because!

Turning 20

Today, the 13th June, I turn 20! So long teenage years and hello 'adult life'. I'm the last in all of my friends to turn this grand old age, feels like a long time coming. I am actually spending my birthday in school, as I am currently on placement. So teaching, like I will be doing (hopefully) for the rest of my life. I've never had a rest on my birthday, for as long as I can remember, its either been during exam season or I've been working/at school. Its not a bad thing, as I never quite know what to do with myself apart from shop and eat. Sounds ideal! 

In celebration of turning 20, here are 20 things you may not know about me/things I have learnt over the years. Claire also tagged me to do the Blue Sky Tag and it has taken me so long to do it, so here are my answers, they are intwetwined within.

Summer Style

Boutique of Molly are a brand that have been mentioned on here a handful of times, they have supported me through all the years of blogging and every time I work with them - my stomach turns. I feel so grateful! This time I am featuring not one, but two of their gorgeous pieces! Both are the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe and no more mirror pictures, I have sorted a solution!

So, that's another birthday over with. If you didn't already know, then on Monday was actually my 19th birthday! I can't actually believe that I am in my last 'teen' year, I remember turning 13 and now 19 - crazy! I'm a summer baby, so the last person in my friendship group to turn this grand old age. Its just how its always been, but having a birthday exactly half way through the year is good enough for me.

Birthdays are a real funny one, my whole life I have been at school for them, for he past 4 years had an exam on them and this year I was working! How fun! But I had a great weekend to compensate for it and enjoyed the day by wearing a badge and everyone wishing me happy birthday.

On Monday its my birthday! I honestly can't believe how quickly this year is going and that I am turning another year older again. Its crazy how fast time is going and how much everything and everyone around me is changing. A birthday or celebration isn't complete without a few things; love, happiness, food and flowers.

18 Things I've Learnt Before Turning 18

This Saturday I turn the grand age of 18 where you officially become an adult and the whole world is in your hands. I actually can't believe that 18 years of my life is over and I don't think I remember half of it but in the last few years I have managed to learn quite a few life lessons and general lessons so here are the top 18 ...
18 life lessons
CREDIT

1. Go with your gut on any decision you make
2. Don't waste any time on the people who don't have time for you
3. If you have any fears then face them because you may never get the chance again to do something you would never have the chance to do
4.  Spoiling yourself every now and then is always the right thing to do
5. There is nothing wrong with eating until you burst/pop
6. Don't settle for the first boy you see, and don't ever change for him either, he should accept you just the way you are (learnt this from other peoples relationship's)
7. Some people just don't want to listen you to what you have to say, so make them listen
8. Failing at something isn't the end of the world, in fact it is the start of a hard working journey 
9. Have Fun
10. Money doesn't solve all your problems, it can help with them but not fix them that is up to you
11. If you want to stay in and watch back to back Disney films then why not? 
12. If you have a dream that seems possible (even if it costs) go for it
13. Everything happens for a reason, a bit of a cliché I know but 
14. Change isn't an easy thing to get used to but get used to it because it is there to stay
15. Accept yourself for who you are, flaws and everything 
16. Laugh when you can because it helps you even in the most terrible situation
17. Forget about all the things you worried about in the last year or even 18 years because they were all important life lessons
18. Be who you want to be and be the best version of yourself

If you can think of any 'lessons' you have learnt in life let me know! 


The Birthday Edit + First Ever MAC Purchase!

First Ever MAC Purchase!
Last Friday it was my 17th Birthday! Time flies and I honestly couldn't believe that the year has gone so fast and turning 13 seemed like yesterday. I thought I would take pictures of all my celebrations and a teen tiny haul! Not bragging or showing off, but it has been ages since I have a haul on here!

On the actual friday I was actually at work experience, and decided to go there with this birthday girl badge on that is really cute. The dress I am wearing is from Primark and have fallen in love with because the fit is beautiful as well as the pattern of it, I wore it with some black pumps but think that some heels in either nude or black would look great as well! Then on my nails I had this gorgeous colour on from Rimmel; Breakfast in Bed by Rita Ora is my go to shade at the moment.

First Ever MAC Purchase!

The first two things were bought a little earlier than my birthday, as when we went to the Ideal Home Show in Manchester there was a makeup store (Cherry Berry Cosmetics also online) and their prices were a tiny little bit reduced. So I bought a MAC Glaze Lipstick in Hue which is such a gorgeous colour to wear everyday and I now want to buy lots more lipsticks because they look so pretty! I also picked up a MAC Bronzing Powder as I have been on the hunt for a new bronzer for months and when I saw this I didn't even think twice about it.

Then my lovely friends also spoilt me rotten this year! With all these lovely gifts that I have fallen in love with. Aamira bought me a MAC Lip gloss that goes great with my lipstick so that is my new everyday lip combo I can already sense it. Along with that she also bought me a box of chocolates which I gobbled up very quickly as well as the white statement necklace you can see in the 2nd picture, which I already know how to wear and what to wear with. The other necklace was from the work experience placement I was on last week which was very sweet of them, and the perfume is from my brother! The Debenhams gift card which will be spent very quickly is from Nicole as well as a Little Mix cup that I am currently drinking out of as we speak. The candle is a firm favourite in our household as well as that I received an entire pack of stationery from Charlotte the book, notebook, folder and everything to keep me organised for the new school year! 

I feel very lucky to have got all these things and much more which I didn't photograph, thank you all for reading!
