My “lockdown birthday” was last week – May 7th to be exact – and as I’m writing this Iām certainly feeling the post-birthday blues. And I’m quite sad it’s over for another year. Usually, we go out for the day, or to one of my favourite restaurants, but it was nice to have a relaxing day at home instead. There were also some unexpected surprises (all from a safe distance,…

30 things I’ve learnt in 30 years
On May 7th 2018 I turned 30, which seems like such a long time ago now but I wanted to mark the occasion in some way. Anyone else think this year is really flying by? I celebrated my 30th birthday with a Star Wars themed party which my sister planned for me. It was a surprise party and I honestly had no idea she was doing it. It was perfect…

Caramac cake
My mum’s birthday was this week and we went out for a birthday meal on Thursday to celebrate, I asked the pub ahead of time if I could bring a cake which they agreed to. My mum loves Caramac bars so I decided to make her a vanilla and chocolate swirl cake with Caramac decorations. The most challenging part of this cake was finding a lot of Caramac at a…

Coping with Chronic Laryngitis | Treatments & Diagnosis
Hey there! It’s been a while since my last post about my 21st birthday. I’ve been very unwell recently, so blogging took a bit of a back seat this month. At first, it started with a cold then developed into sinusitis and laryngitis, thankfully the sinusitis cleared up with antibiotics. My laryngitis, however, is getting progressively worse. I have very little voice and some days no voice at all. It’s…

My 21st Birthday Staycation
After my parents threw me a party for my 18th, I knew I wanted something a bit more relaxed to celebrate my 21st birthday. Don’t get me wrong I’m very thankful to them for throwing the party for me and I especially loved my Buffy cake(!). š But wanted a more chilled 21st. Especially as I haven’t been feeling too well lately. As luck would have it my Auntie Val…

My First Tattoo Experience
As it’s coming up to my 21st birthday I’ve been thinking about tattoos. I marked my 18th birthday with my first (and only) tattoo and I’ve been thinking about adding to it to celebrate my 21st at the start of May. Since my tattoo is related to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I was thinking another Joss Whedon show would be a good addition? But while I’m busy thinking of ideas,…
