Christmas day 2015

Christmas was magical as always! We had an amazing day with family and I was completely spoiled. This is just a quick post with some of my favourite photo's from the day!

My mum made an incredible Christmas dinner and we even tried the "cheatin' celebration roast" (it was delicious). My Nan also made us a vegan trifle for dessert!
The best part of the day was the game of Trivial Pursuit, even though I lost so badly (I didn't even manage to get one slice of pie!).

I'm so grateful for how well my family know me and how awesome all of my gifts are! I spent today relaxing in my pj's and eating lots of chocolate, isn't that what the holidays are for?

Did you all have a good Christmas?

So my goal to finish my Christmas shopping by December 1st didn't work out, but I have been sensible and sorted the majority of my gifts. I've had two trips to town with a list of gift ideas stuffed in my bag and yet I've still managed to buy myself presents before any family members (oops).
The gifts I've shown above are things that I would quite happily receive, so it's sort of a gift guide/wishlist. Compiling this list just made me want to treat myself to all of the pretty things, maybe I'll splash out in January after the Christmas madness!

How are you all getting on with your Christmas shopping? Hopefully better than I am!

22nd Birthday...

 So yesterday was my birthday and I ended up having a really chill but great day!

My boyfriend Mike got the day off work and so he was up on breakfast duty whilst I was unwrapping my gifts.

Like most people my age I was mainly greeted by money as I opened my cards (since everyone knows you can't go wrong with cash!) but I was given a few gifts from my Mum and her fiance and of course from Mike.

Firstly I opened the Egyptian tea set from my mum and we were so excited to try it out! We chose to try a peony tea and I loved watching the flower expand as it brewed (and it tasted amazing).

Mike has obviously been picking up on the hints I've been dropping over the last few months and he bought me a grey Moon bear by Hanjipan Designs.
The bear was wrapped beautifully and included a hand written note from the artist Hannah.

He is so fluffy and soft, I am really impressed with the attention to detail of the little chap.

My German Shepherd Sabbath wanted the Moon bear for himself so I had to hide him for now, my next plan of action will be getting a shelf in my bedroom to display him on!

Seriously check out the page, I need to collect more cuties!

Mike also surprised me with the "Sabbath" necklace that I've been obsessing over from Souvenir Jewelry.

I was so excited and I haven't taken it off since, it's certainly going to be a daily outfit staple.

The necklace is really high quality and it's amazing how they're made. If you follow her on Instagram you will know just how talented the artist is.

The next addition to my jewelry collection will be the "Sweet leaf" ring, it's so perfect (can you tell I love Black Sabbath?)

So after I ripped open my gifts I ate that awesome full English breakfast (#whatfatveganseat) and then chilled out and watched some crappy daytime TV with my loves.

I rounded off my birthday by having a fun bouldering session at The Climbing Hangar and then going for a beer and a burger at Brewdog Liverpool.

It was an amazing night but my camera failed to make it out of my bag because I'm too forgetful to take photo's!

Hopefully this year will go slower than the last!
