What I got for my birthday!


As you may know from my previous post ’28 πŸ₯³’ I recently celebrated my 28th birthday.

I love reading/watching peoples ‘What I got for my birthday’ blogs/vlogs so I thought I would do it again this year.


**Disclaimer**

I’m not boasting, I really just like to show my appreciation for my presents and remember them when I look back on my posts & I know some people like these kinds of blog posts too.


Let’s get started.

My main birthday present from my husband Tim was my coffee machine.

I’ve wanted one for a little while but it’s a bit of a luxury so I haven’t bought one, my birthday seemed like a good opportunity to add it to my list and I was very lucky to get one.

Tim bought me the Nespresso Lattissima One.

I love it! Especially the milk frother as it makes delicious lattes, my favourite coffee. πŸ˜‹

My sister bought me these cute glass mugs to go with it.


I love reading! So I always welcome receiving books for my birthday.

Mrs Hinch’s book was on my list as I like her, her insta is hilarious!! My older sister got me this one.

My work friend got me a little book all about Mindfulness as I really enjoyed the positivity of my ‘Mindfulness March’ challenge.

& Tim chose the book ‘The house across the street’ for me as he thought I would enjoy it 😊


I LOVE bath stuff, especially Lush bath bombs! And I got a good little haul this year. I cant wait to try these all out.

One of the most exciting bath bombs I got was ‘The Comforter’ it’s my absolute fave Lush product as the bubble bar but now it’s a bath bomb too πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I also picked out these lovely bubble baths when me and Tim were in Tesco just before my birthday. They smell incredible.

Fruity and honey/vanilla scents are my ultimate fave when it comes to bubble bath and these are just amazing, they almost smell good enough to eat!!

I also got lots of lovely shower gels and a super cute polka dot travel toiletries bag that can hang up in the shower, pretty & practical!


I got a couple of Harry Potter bits for my birthday too.

I got this cool book from my brother in law which has all the different character wands in it and lots of information about them which is really cool.

I also got this cute little coin purse from my Mum. This is perfect for travelling and when using a smaller bag, plus its in the shape of a golden snitch, what’s not to love!


Along the lines of Harry Potter, my lovely husband Tim bought me and Sarah a Harry Potter activity themed day out in London. We will be having Magical Harry Potter afternoon tea and attending a magical potions cocktail class in the evening. Its going to be so epic, I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!! ⚑⚑

I’ll pop the details below incase you are interested in that kind of thing:

‘The Cauldron’ Cocktail potions class

The Potions Room Afternoon tea


I also got lots of yummy chocolatey treats…

& a great selection of new nail varnishes including some pretty pastels, summery coral and colour changing heat/cool gel nail varnishes.

& the standard birthday pyjamas.


I love my Auntie presents from my favourite little people too πŸ₯°


I hope you enjoyed having a little look at my pressies.

Here’s to my 28th year!

Until next time,

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 6 πŸ””

Hi guys!

Today is day 6 of Blogmas (already!!!) Only 19 days to go until Christmas day.

 

Here is what’s behind window number five of my Tanya Burr beauty advent calender…

A lovely glittery and super sparkly nail varnish.

This polish is called ‘Glitter rain’ and is a lovely silver glitter.

The glitter is great as it adds a festive, party sparkle to your nails (great for those Christmas parties) But is a bit different from the usual gold glitter.

Great for creating a festive, frosty look! ❄

The glitter is fine with larger bits of glitter too which is great on it’s own for a simple touch of sparkle but its also great over other colours or to add a accent nail.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my advent calender.

Who else is loving having a little choc in the morning btw!?! LOVE IT.

Until next time,

Nails 💅 Mermaid inspiration 🐟

I’m suprise I havn’t done one of these before as I love nail varnishes and have a rather extensive collection.  I recently sorted it out into usable ones & thought I would give my nails a break from acrylics by doing my own nails.

I keep seeing lots of mermaid inspired nail art online and thought I would have a go at my own twist on them.

I’m not very good at drawing on intricate designs so I modified it to match my own ability! Haha.

I used these three colours as my base…

  • BarryM Coconut infusion in a mint green 
  • BarryM ‘Cyan blue’
  • BarryM Effects edition ‘Lilac foil’

I applied the green first as I would any mail polish and waited for this to dry.

Once it was dry I used a cotton pad to pat on the blue & purple colours like so…

Once I had done all the base colours I moved onto glitter…

  • BarryM aquarium collection ‘treasure chest’
  • BarryM aquarium collection ‘Atlantis’

These glitters were perfect for this nail look and being fron BarryMs aquarium collection was very apt!

I popped the gold on first, followed by the pinky glitter.

I love both these glitters as they have a mixture of small & large bits of glitter in them.

The pinky one is fab for a ‘mermaid nail’ look as it had a lovely mix of pinks, purples, blues, teals & silver, perfect 💜

You’ll have to excuse my nails, with nice long nails this would look even better.

I hope you enjoyed this little nail tutorial. Let me know if you have a go or have tried something similar 👍

Until next time,
