birthday


A few days ago I turned 33. Three is my favourite number so I am really loving being 33. A friend told me that my 'number' in terms of numerology is 33 so this year will be extra special, and you know what? I can feel it already. 

Here is a little bit of the birthday booty as I call it. The perfect ingredients to a happy birthday - chocolates, a beautiful print for the wall, colourful nail polish, an awesome necklace and a favourite movie. I had a late afternoon trip to our local calm water beach with my niece and mum then dinner with family. 

ps. I'm half-watching The Breakfast Club right now. I would do this all the time when I was younger, put the movie on and work away at my school or uni projects on the living room floor, half-watching it. It is the first time I have watched the movie in a really long time, as I only ever had the video (and no video player to watch it now). That song (do you know the one?) is still one of my all time favourites.

  1. Happy Birthday!

    What lovely presents. The Breakfast Club is such a classic 80s movie.

    I don't know the song - it's been that long since I've seen that movie.

    There was another one with virtually the same cast ... what was that? Or am I confused?

  8. Happy Birthday!

    What a fabulous birthday haul. Very jealous, I wish my loved ones knew me as well as yours seem to know you.

    The Breakfast Club is one of my favourite 80s filcks -an all time classic, fereros never go astray, that essie nail polish colour is gorgeous and I love the necklace for its' faceted beads (I love a good facet) but most of all I love that print. Do you mind me asking if you know where it's from?

    Now I have Simple Minds' Don't you forget about me, going through my head! - Fabulous.

  9. Hi Sandy,

    The print is from Blacklist Studio - Limited edition of 30, but I just checked and it is now sold out.

    My family are coached very well on present giving, ha ha! They ask lots of questions.

    I've been in my 33rd year for a little while now, and I must say it's been a pretty great age to be - it certainly sounds like it will be a good year for you too! :)
