birthday suit

Last weekend i turned a year older, I'm at the stage where i don't like to tell people how old i am, not because i think i'm old, but because i'm generally younger than half of my co-workers, and we don't want to open up that bag of goodies!

This is also the reason for my absence, this has been my longest running birthday ever, a week and a half of dinners and catch-ups, and no free nights to sit back and blog my 'lil heart out!

To add to this busy-ness i also will be doing my first beauty product review for primped.com.au, as i am part of their new primped posse blog, so there may be more absence in the future! but i am very excited, double exclamation marks!! 

Back to the more important stuff though, ie my birthday...ahem
i thought i should share some of the presents i was given as they are just so darn spesh!
okay, seeing as you begged  me.

I have wanted these pretty little things for aaaaaages, they're from a little stall in the freo markets. Just paper cranes folded using gorgeous little pieces of paper, i like the idea of displaying something that shows someones talent (mind you it's probably some kid sitting at home folding hundreds of these or else they don't get ice cream tonight).

This is the second item from my mumsie, only the little octopus, another Thomas Sabo charm, thought i'd go for a beachy theme for lunch in Fremantle. We were a bit confused as to why it only had 5 legs....

Then these lovely pressies from my Mexican cuisine night girls. The Body Shop is always a winner for a bit of luxury pampering (if it smells like you could eat it and gain 3 kilos in doing so, i count that as luxury), and the AWW health diary, one of those things you've always thought "i should probably buy that sometime" but forgot almost instantly.

This from my lovely cousin from wait for it....Mecca Cosmetica. The perfect shade, i know i rant on about my love for bright lippy, so i shall refrain, but she did goooooood.

You may notice these lippies are perfectly photographed (i got lazy and decided to google image rather than do some work). My gorgeous Aunty got me this little balm and it is so good, u only need a tiny bit to go a long way, but i'll save the reviews for primped!

She also popped this cute pic in with my card with my cousins when we were 4/5 - oh how chubby we were!

This glorious thing is a lamp, from my dad from an antiques shop. I have a thing for 1920's art deco so this was right up my alley, i just love it, it looks amazing lit up, certainly looks amazing in my wardrobe room!



Now i did receive a gift from my boyfie (i stole that from a freind). A gift card to Freedom the furniture shop, so a good pressie as it'll end up in his house anyways! but i'll put that in another blog.
