My 26th birthday is only 1 month away! I get stupidly excited about birthdays, probably because they provide an excuse to get dressed up and go out somewhere nice, something my boyfriend and I do VERY rarely these days! To put it into perspective, I’ve had two nights out since January! I usually start planning what we’re going to do and, more importantly, what I’m going to wear well in advance. I’ve decided that this year I want to keep things quite low key and just gather my close friends together and enjoy some drinks down by the quay. There is a fabulous gourmet pizza restaurant down by the river where we could enjoy some scrumptious food. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we’ll all be able to sit outside.
Usually I would buy a whole new outfit and probably some new make-up to wear but, in a nod to the recession and our current personal financial situation, I’ve decided this years ensemble will be all about raiding my wardrobe and putting some of my old favourites together to create a (hopefully) fabulous outfit. I’ll also be forcing myself to create a make-up look from my existing collection and doing my own mani/pedi. I will allow myself a few birthday treats, I’ll definitely need to get my hair done and I might splash out on a facial.
I’m already incredibly excited!!!
