(It’s been a long time coming)
So I turned 25 this year. Now I don’t normally celebrate my birthday. This is because for some reason, in the passed 7 years a series of unfortunate events take place and I don’t get to celebrate or just don’t feel like it. This time I was going to celebrate by Fire by Force! Oh yer!!
I’m a control freak, I like to know when things are happening, how and why! I wanted to do something I would enjoy and also something that would make up for all the birthdays that I couldn’t celebrate.
I decided on having 3 events in one day. “Whoever comes, comes!” I said to myself
I booked a hotel room for myself and the girls at Mondrain, planned a spa trip at Agua, Dinner at Sea Containers and clubbing it up in Monte Zuma.
I sent out the invitations. Many replied but I knew some would decline. As I awaited people’s RSVP’a I looked for my dress. I saw a dress I liked on House of CB but you can never be sure so I went into the store in Stratford Westfield. I liked the dress it was banging 😍😍 I bought it along with a green faux fur coat (I love Faux Fur..)! The only issue I had with the dress was the cleavage. Oh my the boobage was crazy. I thought I could get away with taping my boobs but nah they would spill out. I wouldn’t want a fashion meltdown at my birthday no way! I bought a bra to go with it in Debenhams.
A lot went down that month leading to the 17th of Feb.
1. The Hair that never came
I had some seriously fabulous hair that I ordered online. It was ombré blonde and I ordered it 2weeks before my birthday dates. Oh my gosh I have never felt so anxious! The seller kept giving my stories upon stories in the end I cancelled the transaction but it would take up to 21days to get my money back 😩!
I then ordered a closure from Amazon. That actually came. But I then lost it somehow. I blamed these misfortunes on the devil! I ended up wearing some hair I had from before which still looked good #swerve.
2. Don’t lend money out if you need it
I lent some money to someone and they didn’t give it back. Oh my God I felt so heart broken. Not only was I banking on using it I was making losses left right and Center! Why me?
3. The Allergic Reaction
Because of all of the small issues that I was having on the days leading up to my birthday. I felt like I wasn’t supposed to celebrate it. It was almost like a curse. I then began to have one of the worst reactions on my face and chest ever. It began as a rash and then it developed into acne. Oh lord help me. I used everything under the sun to try to get rid of it but it wouldn’t go away. Hmm. Should I still celebrate???
The day came, Friday 17th February 2017. I went over to the salon to get my cornrows, got my Hollywood wax, eyebrows done and nails did!!
I took a cab to Mondrain where I was ready to relax. We put our clothes into the room and then made our way to the Spa. The spa was amazing. I was given a facial and full body massage. I felt rejuvenated. Then the ladies gave me my birthday cake and champagne oh my it was lush I enjoyed it. And I enjoyed having my girls there with me.
We then went to the room where the make-up artist @missasuni came to beat my face to tha gwads. My make up was amazing thanks Abi ❤.
I got dressed and went to have dinner. My friends were downstairs waiting on me. All the anxiety went away.

We then went to Monte Zuma to Turn up and that ended the night well. All in all I enjoyed myself and can’t complain.
