My Music Box

Hello again my sweets :)

Last week my boyfriend gave me a surprise gift as he had been away for the weekend with his dad and saw this and thought of me (how cute :P) 

When we were in Indian last Easter we bought a wooden box with an engraved elephant on top, it was so pretty and its the one regrets I have because I didn't buy one for myself! Me being me I have then gone on about it for the last 18 months :P however now I have my own box and I have to say I think this one is better and I have fallen in love with it :)

It is a tradition Italian music box, the box itself does have some scraps and chips but I just think they add to the story behind it :) 

He bought it for me because I wanted a jewellery box and added extra it was a music box, however when he gave it to me I turn it over and found out the song it plays is 'Torna a Sorrento' :) he hadn't realised this but one of my favourite places in the world is Sorrento, me and my family have been twice and I can't wait to go back in the future at some point :)

I wanted to use the box and for it not just be for decoration, so I have made it into my earring box :) I am very safe with my jewellery and don't really mix it up so I think this will be a good way to building a collection and having it next to my bed means ill change them more often :) 

(My favourite earring of all time, I wear these most days)

I know this is a bit of a different post but I love when things are sentimental and have more meaning when you look into them :) I know this will be a box I keep forever :)

What's your most sentimental thing?

My 19th Birthday

Hello again :)

So on Thursday it was my 19th birthday, I was so glad to have my birthday at home so I could spend the day with family, which is my favourite thing to do. On my first we went to Newcastle for day and had a shop round the Metrocentre which I love doing because I've been there so many times and just love being back in Newcastle :) 

I have a small family so these are my cards I received from family members, all so cute and with the loveliest messages inside. 

These were my presents, which I have to say I'm in love with all of them :) I got a 6 month subscription to Glossy Box (this will be my next blog), testers on the Benefit skin care from my boyfriend, which I'm very excited to test, Vlogging book for dummies as I've just started my YouTube channel, DVD called 'Second hand lions' which is one of my favourite films and Muji boxes for my make-up. I can't wait to use them all, I feel like a very lucky girl :) 

I thought I should take a better picture of the Muji boxes because they are just so lovely :) when my mum ordered them the stacks of the wide storage had sold out, so instead she bought me 5 individual ones, which I prefer because I can stack them in different ways and can buy more if needed. I don't have a very big make-up selection so 5 draws was enough for me at the moment but I'm sure i'll be adding to the collection soon :) 

I also got a Zara bag from their basic collection however, this is from their winter range because my mum had bought it for me for Christmas but had forgot to wrap it up so instead gave it as a birthday present. I have to say I love this bag, I have used it very day and it's just the perfect size to fit everything in and can be used for many things, so I'm very glad her found it :)

For my birthday I picked what we were having for tea, and this was a easy decision. My favourite meal of all time (except maybe Sunday dinner) is chicken soaked in lemon which pita's and salad. It's such a lovely summer meal and I just love it!! 

After tea we had the traditional Scott birthday cake that my mum makes. It's just a dairy milk cake with cream, but omg this cake is the best thing known to man. And I just love birthdays because I know this will be made. Mine had strawberries because they are in season and on my brothers and dad's cake they have orange :)

  

I had the most amazing day and I'm so thankful for my family for making my birthday so special :) 

What has been your favourite birthday gift?

Hope you've enjoyed reading and speak to you soon 

Bye :)
