My 22nd Birthday Haul // Lucyy Writes

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22. Last Friday I celebrated my 22nd Birthday & boy do I feel old - thank god for being blessed with a baby face. Time is flying by so fast, it only feels 5 minutes since I was rambling on about entering my 20's. I wasn't sure what was going to happen on my 'big' day, since I've a little West Highlander at home recovering from a Hip Replacement. However my family made sure I had a lovely day, one of my favourites in a long time. I was able to head out for a girls shopping trip. With the incredible weather, we made sure to grab picnic food from M&S and head to the beautiful park I love. The journey home however took 2 hours!? When it would usually take 30 minutes at the busiest of times. Once home I was greeted by my furry friends who for once missed me and had the loveliest of evenings with my little family, consisting of WAY too much food and the largest chocolate cake we could find - not to mention the delicious white chocolate and strawberry cake we'd demolished for breakfast. You only turn 22 once, right?

Since I haven't posted in quite a while, I thought I'd share my favourite gifts and items I picked up on the day! I was lucky enough to receive money and the odd gift card, along with the loveliest of Lush gift sets which included items I wished I'd picked up earlier on in the day. For once I didn't receive a ridiculous amount of chocolate, with just three small items from Hotel Chocolat. Their Dark Chocolate Caramels with sea salt are to die for, along with their strawberry puddles and the new Smoothie collection. There were bits and bobs for my car, the box set of Ugly Betty - I became addicted to the show earlier this year. My Dad picked out my 'main' present all by himself, I absolutely adore Fiorelli for handbags! He decided on the Savannah in the jungle print. I'll most likely review the bag on LW in the near future as I love how it comes with it's own organiser.

I'm excited to try out the baking items my neighbour gifted me, along with my first lot of NYX items - *spoiler* I'm going to have to buy the entire Butter Gloss collection, the formula is incredible of the two I picked up. I also at long last own Fleur De Figure scent from Roger & Gallet after loving the body products for a few years. Who knew my M&S actually stocked the brand. Other items I picked up whilst shopping were a few sets of underwear & a couple real technique brushes.

Has anyone else celebrated their birthday recently? I'd love to hear what you got up to! Thank you for the birthday messages & again, apologies for the hiatus - life has been pretty hectic. Lucy xx

  4. Happy belated birthday congratulations! I turned 23 around a month ago so I know how going into your 20s feels, super scary! It sounds like you had a wonderful day and you can never have too much food or cake on your birthday! It looks like you got some great presents! Those chocolates look to die for and that Lush stuff looks fabulous. I love that bra you got as well and the makeup looks great. I'm glad you had a good birthday and big cuddles to your doggie, I hope they are feeling better this week. XxxX
