Birthday Haul + Catch-up


Hey Guys sorry I haven't been posting very often its just that I have been so so busy with my school show practise which I mentioned in the last post which went all of the second week of holidays and also stage challenge which I also mentioned in the last post. It also has been horrible weather lately it even SNOWED which never happens in Dunedin!

So if you can tell by the title I'm doing a birthday haul also before we get into this post I would just like to explain that I'm not at all bragging with the gifts that I got. Also just to clarify my birthday was 2 weeks ago so this is very over due!! Lets get started.

On my Birthday I was not just celebrating my Birthday but also easter so we started the day with finding eggs which was heaps of fun! We then got into opening the presents I got from everyone
which was heaps of fun!!

Firstly I opened up the cards which had money in them since I'm going to Auckland and I'm wanting some spending money.
These are the cards that I got then and in one of the cards was a Glassons voucher.


This is the money I got $180 and also I was aloud to get eftops card which took a long time getting but I'm super excited to start using it!!  

I also got tickets to see 5 Seconds of Summer which I already new about but what super exciting to see the tickets!! And also it came with the Auckland trip. 



Ps ignore the pyjamas in the photo.

Next I got a volley ball from my Brother the one from castaway Wilson. Which I love to pieces I've been asking for one for ages so I'm so happy I now have one!!


I also got these awesome nike pro shorts which I wear all the time, when its not raining or snowing! Can you believed it snowed on Monday and Tuesday!! It was crazy anyway back to the topic. The shorts are awesome I have wanted a pair for a long time and I'm so happy my parents got them for me!!


And the present that I didn't except was one of my favourite it was an Pineapple drink bottle but with Ed Sheeran tickets in them I was so so happy and surprised lot of emotions XD


It wasn't a great photo but oh well. Also my birthday cake was amazing my mum made it and was so so delicious it was a huge surprise though so while they were making it I would have to go to of the room and sit by myself which wasn't exactly fun. But here it is...


Sorry for the late posts but I will make sure there all up on Sunday right on time. If you have any ideas for blogs or you have any questions don't be afraid to ask and I'll answer them in the next post!! Talk to you all soon.

Pinteresting Pins - Easter themed


Hello everyone sorry I have missed my last two post I have had a lot of things going on like the School Show is coming up so were learning lots of new things, also I'm doing something called stage challenge which if you know what Stars on Stage is then its like that but for high schoolers and its more competitive. If your being living under a rock for forever of you don't celebrate this you should know that this weekend is EASTER!!!!! Also its my Birthday I'm super excited so you should be expecting a birthday haul coming up soon. 

Anyway as it is the easter season I thought that I should do an easter themed post. So this is going to be some of my favourite easter activities or traditions and since its Good Friday I'll tell you about some of the weird things that people do as well. I also thought why not create a new theme for my every second post like have my favourite pins from Pinterest and since its a holiday it will be easter themed.

So to start it off here is some of my favourite easter themed DIYs on Pinterest!

First off we have the Mason Jars Candy Pedestals which are just genially awesome I've always wanted to make something like this and they would be great gift for a friends or boyfriend or girlfriend. Also who doesn't like chocolate, and I know that some people can't have chocolate and all it was just a rhetorical question.


Then we have the second DIY which is what i've always wanted to do but never really had the time or have had any of the things you need for this and also I could never make my things look as good as the ones you see on Pinterest, some of the ones on Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram look crazy good and I'm just like what and how!!?? You feel me? Anyway this one looks really cool its used with crayons.


I may love decorations but I love the awesome snacks even more some of the things some people make are so cool like the nest things and cool rabbit cakes, I wish that I could make really cool things like that! So here are a few of my favourites.






Ok so lets take a moment a respect how amazing some people are at creating stuff like this... ok moment over. But seriously is anyone else dying from how yum these look also I feel a bit sick haha.

Since it is Good Friday there is some different way of how people celebrate the holiday. Like in Philippines they show their respect by nailing their hands and feet to a cross and won't get off till they feel like they have showed all their respect. The most times that someone has been nailed is 22 times. Also is places like Mexico and Germany they will be a bit safer and perform plays like Mexico will get 400 local actors and perform on the streets. In Germany they will perform theatre plays like The famous kiss betrayal and Pontius Pilate sentencing him to death.

Hope you all enjoyed this blog post and I'll probably post on Sunday as well for my Birthday Haul so I'll talk to you later.
