Turning Nineteen

It only seems like yesterday I was frantically tearing open barbie dolls to play with at 9 years old and now I’m celebrating my 19th birthday! I’ve always loved birthdays, not because of all the gifts and attention, but because it’s one day where the majority of the family comes together and the day is filled with laughter and fun. and cake. Turning 19 hasn’t been a big deal to me as it isn’t a big birthday like 13 and 18 were and how 21 will be, but it is a strange thought that this year is my last teen year? I always wanted to grow up quickly and be a big girl with a great job and my own mansion with 10+ dogs, but now thinking I will, in fact, be an adult next year with responsibilities is kind of scary! 

I was super lucky to be able to celebrate with not only my immediate family but also my extended family and some of my closest friends! My day consisted of breakfast with my grandparents, whom I find so adorable. I had a fun-filled afternoon with my parents and siblings opening gifts and eating too much cake and the evening was spent at pizza express, followed up by a walk along the coast. The days after my birthday I got to spend time with my close friends and celebrate how old I already becoming. One evening, in particular, I spent in my friend's car, eating chips talking about our lives and it was a great evening!

This birthday, in particular, may have been one of my favourites. It wasn't filled with business, noise and trying to make it to a meal on time, and it was just how I like it. My favourite gifts were all the skincare products I accumulated, beautiful flowers and some lovely scented home pieces for my wardrobe. Along with all of the wine too!

Thank you to anyone who wished me a happy birthday!
