I turned 23!!!

I had the most amazing day this Saturday! Did you? I sure do hope so. I was sending bucket loads of love into the universe since my day was overflowing with it from close friends and family!

 My fam had organised a lunch with a bunch of some very awesome people. It was beautiful, intimate and so much fun! I'd forgotten how lovely it is to spend my bday with my family having spent my previous 3 birthdays in South Africa.

 The Muthaiga Golf Club (where my bday was hosted) is super strict when it comes to phones. You're not allowed to answer or use your cellphone while on their grounds but the space we'd rented out for my lunch party was a little more relaxed when it comes to such rules. Needless to say I took advantage of that like nobody's business.. I was on a two phone tip.

 My lovely friend Marion. Woman's getting married at the end of the year!! Can't wait for that wedding. 

 Happy Birthday tooo meeeee!

There were about 9 kids at the party under the age of 10 who all started shouting at the same time "CAN I HAAVEE THE ROOOOSE ON THE CAAAKE??" Why do kids always drag out their words? Anyway, we had to split the petals so that everyone could have some..It was messy and fun.

 Say cheeeese

 Now onto the gifts. 

I must say that I was pretty thrilled that most of the people who came gave me cash as a gift. I'm saving up for a camera and that cash brought me that much closer to holding my baby Canon! Woopdidooha. 

But I also got a few gifts that I loved like this lovely faux snake skin, sparkly, grey clutch from my aunt. It comes with a strap but I'd use it mostly without it. Love it.

My other favourite (can I do that? Say what my favourite gift is? If any of my friends/relatives from the the party are reading this and don't see their present up here I still loved it!!!) was this present that I got for myself! A Nine West wallet. The colour just does it for me.. Forget putting it in my handbag, I'm going to walk around with just my wallet and phone. Goodbye lip balms, hand lotion, nail files and all that other junk I carry around in my bag. 

Before people got to the party my friend Marion and I went a little crazy snapping pictures with my aunt's Canon. Can't wait to get the pictures off her and show them on here. 

Guys can I just say how excited I am to get a Canon EOS T2i Rebel? My heart beats a little faster whenever I think about it. The camera will cost me about $800 and that's inclusive of a case and a memory card. I'm going to get it in May from ze United States of ze America. Cannot wait to have that little baby in my hands.
