As most of you know I celebrated my birthday a couple of days ago and got absolutely spoilt rotten with an obscene amount of chocolate, presents and pampering. My best friend Roni, came round in the morning with a tub full of homemade chocolate chip cookies which I could not wait to sink my teeth into. As of March 12th I had gone without chocolate for 101 days, far too long for anyone to be without that gorgeous bean, but come b-day I was given chocolate left right and centre and to top it all off, my lovely Daddy sent me 36 Malteaser bunnies. Heaven!
It was odd being away from my family for my whole birthday but boy oh boy was my birthday package a treat. Bursting with M&S goodies amongst all the presents. I was a very happy little girl.
Roni and I went out for a huge birthday brunch at one of my favourite breakfast spots in Leeds, The Box in Headingley.
After which my lovely housemate and I, went for a little manicure sesh.
My housemates got me such gorgeous presents and this little macaroon jewellery box was by far my favourite. Emma searched far and wide to find it, and I absolutely love it! Isn't it the cutest!?
Roni & I were seriously getting out pout on. Reverting back to our 14 year old selves.
What I'm Wearing: ASOS Twist Back Body, New Look Necklace, Gap Jeans & Kurt Geiger Shoes.
Next stop, dinner at Viva Cuba. Recommended by Roni, this was certainly the best Tapas in the whole of Leeds! It's hard to find good Tapas outside of Spain, but this was the real deal. Perfect cocktails followed by unbelievable amounts of food. The girls and I were in our element.

Emma decided to have a rather generous piece of the Pollo Picante (Chicken breast fillet served with house piri piri sauce). Little did they mention that their "homemade" piri piri sauce was code for some seriously hot hot sauce. Poor Em is not one for spice, and decided to get her own back after all of us were in hysterics at her reaction and gave an even bigger serving to Hayley...
Dinner was absolutely great and despite leaving absolutely bursting at the seam (not a great idea to wear a body-con leotard...), we headed off to Call Lane for a tipple or two and a boogie in front of the live band at Norman's.
Thank you to my gorgeous girlies for making my birthday so special, had a wonderful day and can't wait to celebrate again later this month with my twinnie.
