A week of Parties!



Like I said in my last post I've been busy working, or partying! Well going to events at least. I didn't take pictures of everything so didn't have a wide selection to pick from oh well. It was my brothers 21st birthday so I made lemon cupcakes for him, and also my boyfriends 26th birthday. He wanted a Victoria Sponge and that's it in the top picture... only... I dropped it and forgot to bring the cute candles I got :( It still tasted yummy though, it just looked silly! I was working on his birthday event and then went to a BBQ but it was dark, and for his actual birthday we went to the Uni Society events do. The second picture is of the empty sweet jar filled with stars lol, and the third is my outfit. We all wore blue and white to match the drama's colours, and they won a few things, so yay! It was loads of fun. My dress was from New Look and I got £8 off thanks to a tiny little mark that came off easily, woot! The night after that a lot of the societys held a Night of Musicals, which was awesome including drama, choral, glee, dance etc and I made a new friend, he was sititng by himself bless him. I'd be too scared to go to something by myself, I mean I do but I know loads of drama people will be there and try to sit next to them, but he was lovely. 

Second row, yeah... a weird picture but that's me trying these curler things. They do work, but didn't work for the night I needed them as my hair didn't dry fast enough. I'm trying to make my hair prettier but also treat it better so tried these out from New Look. I think my hairs a little bit too long for them though. The middle picture is of my pink lush bath! Finally getting round to using all these bath products :) I including those two pics to fit in with the party theme as they are 'getting ready' pictures. Third picture in that row is of Taybarns. It was my first ever visit and was okay, think I prefer Cosmo but it is much cheaper. It was birthday/new job dinner for my boyfriend since he likes Taybarns. Driving there was a nightmare though, I may or may not have got lost.... anyway! Moving on!

For the third row there's me sporting my Jubilee look, but not really, I worked it! :( I wore this bow when I came home though, can't wear it in work since I wear hats. Then it was the Drama awards night and I got to sit on the committee table even though I'm not even a member! It was very fancy and loads of fun. It's quite sad too though since I won't be seeing a lot of people again since they're leaving Swansea after finishing uni :(  I wore a dress from Debenhams which I got for £5! It used to be £85 but it was in the 70% off pile and it was buy one get one free, and I didn't get a free one, yes I'm stupid! So that was my week in Instagram pictures and just add in a few closes in work, and it sums up my week. Now I'm off to pack since I'm going to London in a few hours and I have done nothing! Ooops! I am tempted to take my laptop on the train to catch up on blog reading and plan a baby shower but then I don't want to lug it around London, hmmm, why can't my laptop be tiny eh?

Instagrammed



Here's another 'Week in Instagram' type posts, but it's a bit longer than a week so I just titled it 'Instagrammed' today. I was going to do a 31 day challenge catch up but I'll do that tomorrow as its half one now (but I'll change the time manually tomorrow so this is still Sunday) and I should be sleeping. 

Top L-R: Glittery Nails, A view of Mumbles, Eddies Rocket for a catch up and malt shakes, Watching my boyfriend in 'Scary Play'
Roller Skating on the Promenade, Brooches from a Vintage Fair, I did a 'What's in my bag?' post, Finally read Magic Knight Rayearth (yes, I'm an anime/manga geek ^_^)
May's Glossy Box <3, Purple Dye and water, I'm in a Hammock!, A cute puppy who was still for once and not biting!
I saw an Olympic Torch bearer when I left work early, I watched Eurovision - they were last years winners, Had a BBQ, and spent some time in a giant paddling pool.

So that was roughly my week in pictures, but add in some work and sunburn, fun! Oh I also spent a lot of time in my garden but forgot to add those pictures too. I finally went roller skating which was so much fun, but it was a boiling day and I went to my first Vintage Clothes Fair. I also did a 'What's in my Bag?' post. 
I've spent the weekend down my boyfriends family's, they have a huge garden, paddling pool, hammock, BBQ, rabbits, a puppy and a cute two year old, it was a blast! 

I had the shortest shift ever in work on Saturday since I felt ill, and as I left I saw an Olympic torch bearer waiting to have her torch lighted. It was funny, everyone kept giving her their kids to take photos with and she said "If I had know it'd be like this, I would have done my hair!" bless, but she was very nice and smiley, I just didn't get a good shot! I didn't stick around to watch it though as I was dying and just wanted to curl up somewhere. I then watched the Eurovision, poor Hump, he deserved better! I liked Sweden, who won, but also liked Germany who came somewhere in the middle, and also Denmark who did just a little bit better than us, so near the end, and was kinda shocked, what's going on? They both should have done better. I think next year I want to go or host a Eurovision party, it'll be fun! Who did you like in the Eurovision? And I hope you all had lovely weekends :)
