WHAT I GOT FOR MY BIRTHDAY

On Sunday it was my 20th birthday and it feels pretty weird to not be a teenager anymore, I'll admit (though in reality, I feel no different) but I had a lovely day and thought I'd share some of the gifts I kindly received!

Globe Necklace

I've had my eye on one of these for the longest time now, I'm pretty sure I even tweeted about it a while ago and I've definitely liked a lot of photos on Instagram! Unfortunately, I'm not sure which brand this is from but there are so many great places that sell them and you usually choose from gold, silver or rose gold. I really like the design and since I have such an interest in travelling, I thought it was perfect. 

Jumper

I've been meaning to buy a more boxy style jumper for a while now as I really like the cut of them and this particular one from Topshop is also an off the shoulder which I think can really add interest to an outfit. Grey is one of my favourite colours to wear too so I know it's something I'll get a lot of wear out of. 

Denim skirt

I'm not the biggest skirt wearer but do have a couple and my wardrobe was definitely lacking a black denim one! Mine actually came from good old Primark so was super affordable too, I'm actually quite excited to plan some outfits with this!

Pink stripe t-shirt

So anybody knows me will be aware of how drawn I am to striped tops and I also really liked this shade of pink. It is actually meant to be a crop but a sized up as I wanted it to slightly longer and as it's pretty stretchy it still fits nicely. This one also came from Primark!

Grey striped t-shirt

Yes, another striped top which is grey and from Primark...shocker! I liked the more oversized cut of this and thought the tie at the bottom gave it more interest than a basic t-shirt, it's also one of the things that you can throw on with some leggings or jeans for a really simple outfit. 

Body Shop products

For anyone that isn't aware, if you're a part of The Body Shop Loyalty Club, you will receive £5 to spend for your birthday. I picked up a Watermelon Lip Balm, Mango Bath Bomb, Grapefruit Bath Bubble and the Moringa Bath Bubble. I love their lip balms but haven't had one for a while and I'm really interested to try the other bath products!

Resistance trainer

Okay, so I know you can use this for a tonne of various exercises which is perfect since I usually get random bursts of motivation and energy late at night. It also targets multiple areas and as a have ongoing back and neck pain I thought it might help me to stretch and strengthen them a bit. I'll let you know what I think when I've used it for a bit!

Space NK products

I also picked up my birthday gift from Space NK as part of the N.Dulge Club, unfortunately, they'd run out of the March gifts but still had some of the ones from February left! I received a Nap Spray from This Works, an Eye Renewal Balm from Algenist and a Deep Conditioning Mask from Briogeo which I'll definitely be trying out soon!

Garnier 3 in 1 Clay Wash, Scrub and Mask

I've wanted to try out more skincare products recently so when I saw that this product from Garnier was a 3 in 1 product, I was pretty intrigued. I've always been a fan of face masks and needed a new face wash or exfoliator so I thought I'd give it a go. I've only used it twice so I can't give much of an opinion yet but my skin felt super soft after so I can't complain about that! 

I was also kindly given money from most of my family members which is obviously really useful so that I can save it and buy things when I need them. I'm sure I'll share anything I decide to buy on here or I'll put it towards my travel savings! Ooh and I also got some chocolate which I feel is a birthday essential, thought I actually got a few bits Easter chocolate (got to make the most of it!) I had a lovely day in Bournemouth, which I'll speak about more in an upcoming post!
