Snaps of my Life – Birthday Edition

If you haven’t guessed from the title, today is in fact my birthday! I had originally planned to do a “day in the life” post, only to realise I kinda missed the boat on that when I kept forgetting to take photos :/ If you guys are keen I might still try it another day when it appears I have a life 😉

So instead, I’m going to share with you what I got up to last Saturday~ This should be more a personal post if anything else, a one day deviation from your normal beauty programming 🙂 Be prepared for photo galore!

My outfit for the day! 😀 Used a larger bag for the day, and switch it for this smaller clutch for the evening!

Saturday was the MBBE Xmas Party, which Stef so kindly hosted! She was an amazing host and I can’t thank her enough for so graciously opening her home to us, love her <3

Our lunch :9 Sooo delicious~~

The Secret Santa pressies 😀

Amy suggested we play Secret Santa with a twist, when it’s your turn to pick a present, you can choose to steal or open a gift~ Here’s how it went.

I opened a lovely L’Occitane Skin Care gift set with earrings 😀

Come Amy‘s turn and she set her eyes on my gift :_:

And steal my gift she did!!

DEFEATED!

Amy‘s evil must have rubbed off on me, because I then went after Jess‘ gift! XD Sorry Haul Twin!!

Later on Stef so kindly wheeled out her makeup collection, and being beauty bloggers, we literally pounced on her collection :3 Let me say that Stef’s neatness puts my collection to shame 🙁 Sooo messy in comparison!

Left to right: Jess, me, Stef, Tine, Amy, Violet, Akisa, Val & Celeste. Nadia came later, unfortuantely not pictured 🙁

Fantastic time, I completely love these girls. My favourite part of the entire lunch was when we all settled down at the end to just talk about blogging, our lives and everything in between. I’m so lucky to be able to call these girls my friends, they are an incredible support network in an otherwise rather lonely hobby 🙂

After the Xmas party, Toby took me out for dinner to celebrate my birthday *_* To celebrate we went to Momo, which I heard about after my first visit to Melbourne’s Spice Market only to discover that the owners also ran a Modern Middle Eastern Restaurant called Momo, I had to give it a shot!

Sorry for the terrible photos, I wanted to be extra stealthy and had to rely on my iPhone 🙁 And you know how terrible lighting is at restaurants.

I thought this was pretty cool, in the ladies’ bathroom they offered a hair driyer and GHD hair straighter just incase XD How thoughtful!

My terrible food photography does no justice to how awesome the food and service was! I already want to come back and highly recommend it 🙂 I maaay be writing a review on Celeste’s food blog, depending on how craptastic the rest of my photos are, and they are pretty craptacular 🙁

A wonderful day and a wonderful night! 🙂 Lastly, thought I’d share with you some presents Toby and Anty gave me!

Now my console family is complete :9 And just hit level 82 on Cataclysm about 1 hr ago, planning to cap it to 85 before the week is out! Hopefully the blog doesn’t suffer for it~

Hope you enjoyed the photos! I love doing these posts, feel refreshing! Plus it shows you guys I kinda do have a life beyond reviewing beauty products hehe XD

Special thanks to Jimmy for taking all the photos I watermarked with his URL!
