I don't want to be boring, but I'd just like to start off with a big fat disclaimer just in case you're wondering; I'm in no way trying to show off. I'm incredibly lucky and thankful for all the wonderful presents I got, so before anyone gets carried away I thought I'd just throw that out there!
Somewhere between this post and the last post I sat down to write (praise the wonders of scheduling), I turned 20. To me, this is pretty serious stuff and also very, very terrifying. I can no longer claim to be a teenager, and on my birthday I had to do adult things like squeeze in cleaning the oven because I didn't think through my mad act of putting 24 hour cleaner on the day before.

I don't want to make a big deal of it, however, and mostly I'm just letting you know so I can show you a few of the things I was lucky enough to get. I won't go through everything, because I don't want to seem showy, but here's a few of my favourites! Personally I love these posts, and 90% of what I asked for came from reading blogs and finding things I wanted!
I've wanted this for so long, so I'm uber happy to get this! To me it just smells like flowery happiness (which is why I'm telling you the official description rather than trying to describe it myself), and I've been wearing it non-stop.
"DOT opens with a delectable blend of red berries, succulent dragon fruit and sweet honeysuckle. The floral heart of the fragrance blooms with addictive jasmine and notes of coconut water and orange blossom. The base of the fragrance is a feminine mix of creamy vanilla, driftwood and sensual musks. A lush, juicy floral that comes full circle with a balance of modern whimsy and classic elegance; happy and vivacious."
I've had my eyes on a pair of these bad boys for a while, so I thought it was finally time to embrace my inner grunge and ask for them. They're so lovely, but still being broken in!
Complete with a purple yoga mat, I don't know why but I've been loving yoga recently so this is amazing for me! Queue many injuries from attempting the hardest positions first.
My best friend has an impressive amount of Disney films gracing her shelves, and I finally caved after gazing at them longingly for a year and asked for just about all of them. I got a few of my favourites here so I've got enough to keep me going!
This was just a little quirky something my parents bought me; I'm not a great lover of champagne or wine, but they found me these so bought me some champagne for me and my friends! These are just little mixers that you add into your drink and they make it taste a hundred times better. I used the raspberry on my birthday, and the others that I'm waiting for an excuse to use are mango, grapefruit, blood orange and mandarin!
I can't believe I now own a Naked palette! Two of my best friends got me one between them, and I'm unbelievably happy that they're so lovely! I'm 100% in love, and I'll be posting a very excited review about this soon.
Finally, this is possibly my favourite present; my boyfriend bought me (after I hinted maybe just a little) a Pandora birth stone ring. I have amethyst for February, and I've been wearing it since he gave it to me!
Finally, a few pictures of my actual birthday; raspberry flavoured champers with blueberries, my three birthday cakes (Sainsbury's have an offer, so my parents got carried away. There's a lot of cake in my house right now), and with three of my favourite ladies before we had a night out!
I hope you liked this post!
