Turning 29

Image
As you’re reading this is actually on the day of my birthday so happy birthday to me. As you can probably tell from the title I’m turning twenty nine. I have a lot of mixed emotions about it because it’s another year of being older but it’s also the final year in my twenties. Next year I’ll be thirty and that’s kind of scary. I feel like there’s so much I still need to do in my twenties. I even created a bucket list on this blog a few years ago of everything I want to do before I turn thirty. Perhaps I might make an update on what I have left to do as it is my final year before I turn thirty.  I have mixed emotions about turning twenty nine. I feel like some parts of my life are not complete yet like I’m not living in my own place, I’m not married nor do I have kids. Yet that’s okay because not everyone does by the time they reach thirty. I feel like our twenties is the time to experiment, make mistakes and figure it out so that by the time we get to our thirties we can start to se...

October

It’s the month of October which means it’s the month of my birthday where I’m turning the scary age of twenty nine. This means it will be my final year of my twenties which is a daunting thought. I’m actually looking forward to my birthday as it’s this Saturday coming because I’m actually going on a surprise with my special someone. I have an idea of what it is but I still don’t know fully yet. Either way I’ll be waking up on my birthday with my special someone and that is already something exciting for me.  Another incredible thing that is happening is on Sunday I’ll be flying to Belfast with my mum. I’ve never been to Northern Ireland before and I’m looking forward to it. We’ve booked for the Titanic museum and I think we’re going to do some other stuff there too. I’m looking forward to having two getaways this week. Kind of busy week where I have to pack twice. Luckily a lot of stuff can be transferred over like toiletries but yeah it should be good.  So far that’s all that...

September Favourites

Image
This September has been a month of a few little favourites of things I've enjoyed and I thought I'd share them with you. Only Murders In The Building I recently started watching this again as I stopped watching after episode 2 of season 4. I kind of stopped because I cancelled my Disney Plus subscription but then I saw trailers for the new season and I wanted to watch it so I continued where I left off. Honestly it's such a great cast and the dynamic between the trio works really well. I also enjoyed guessing who the murderer is and I'm never right. It's always the one you least expect but when everything comes together it all suddenly makes sense. I've started watching Season 5 now and so far I've enjoyed it as once again it's another murder mystery and I'm intrigued to know who dunnit. No spoilers in the comments, people. This is a spoiler free zone.  The IT Crowd This is your classic British sitcom and honestly I'd never seen it before but I s...

McFly VS Busted

Image
Last Tuesday was an incredible day because I saw McFly VS Busted in Birmingham. I've been waiting for this moment all year, I remember getting the tickets back in January and I was buzzing. I've been wanting to go to a McFly concert again since I went last year but when I saw this tour was announced I knew I had to go so I did. I remember going to the pre-sale link and considering where to see them. Birmingham seemed the easiest because we have a train that goes all the way to Birmingham so that would make it easier. The day finally came and I thought I'd share a photo journal of my day when I saw McFly VS Busted in Birmingham.  Let's get started. Took a train to Birmingham International. I went to the Novotel for lunch and had a steak sandwich and chips. The only issue was the steak was very chewy. Got to the hotel which was the Ibis at Birmingham International. It had the comfiest bed and wasn't far away from the venue. Had a bit of time to chill so ended up watch...

Concert Essentials

Image
I recently just went to a concert in Birmingham where I saw McFly VS Busted and I thought I’d share what I brought with me to the concert. Let’s get started The bag I brought was this fake prada bag that I bought in Mallorca. I honestly love these styles of bags because it’s not too big but it’s not too small. You can surprisingly fit quite a lot in them, plus it makes it easier to carry when it’s a cross body strap. Plus it’s better to take a small bag with you because of the bag checks and the last thing you want to worry about in a concert is having a big bag while you’re rocking out. I got a little wallet which just has my ID and debit card because honestly you don’t really need to bring all your loyalty cards with you. Also most venues are now cashless so it’s a good idea to bring your card with you, although I have Apple Pay on my phone. I just like having my card just in case. Plus I like to bring ID because even though I’m 28, every now and then I will get an ID which is intere...

Evening

As yesterday I shared my morning, I thought today I'd share my evening so let's get started. My evening starts with dinner. I decided to try out a recipe for beef noodles where you used beef mince with noodles and a bunch of other ingredients. You can pretty much see everything I used there and I was really excited to try this out as I always love trying out noodle recipes. I used a wok to cook it and honestly it was so delicious. I'm sure if you google beef mince noodles on Instagram you will find the recipe as that's where I found the recipe. It was so tasty and I highly recommend it as it took about ten/fifteen minutes to cook.  After dinner, I decided to run myself a bath and used this bath bomb from Primark. Honestly, I love using Primark bath bombs in my baths and I feel like my bath is not complete without a bath bomb.  This bath bomb turned my bath pink and I added a bubble bath to it. I always love having a bath once a week because I feel like it washes away th...

Morning

Today, I thought I'd share a morning in my life so let's get started. My morning starts like everybody else's morning. Waking up in bed. My first stop when I get up is usually the bathroom to do my business and brush my teeth. I also had a dentist appointment on this day so I needed to make sure my teeth were extra clean. My morning is not complete until I have coffee. It's on the radiator as it's next to my desk as I'm a bit clumsy so I'm known for knocking my desk which means split drinks are inevitable. On my radiator means it's less likely to spill. Don't worry, my radiator is not on yet.  Now to make my bed. Ta da. Good enough in my opinion because who wants a perfectly done bed.  Time for makeup, I've shared my makeup routine earlier this month so be sure to check that out if you want to know what I wear. It's not changed since then. I got my clothes out and put them on because I was leaving the house on this day. I get my purple little...
