BOYFRIEND TURNS 26

Yesterday was the boyfriends birthday and the old man turned 26. 

I told him I would take a photo of him today and then again next year on his birthday and see how much older he looked, he wasn't too keen on this idea, but I snapped it anyway.

He had a work dinner on last night so we didn't make dinner plans, instead we caught up for lunch.

We went to Left bank in Southbank.

The boyfriend ordered Corn Fed Roast Chicken $33

I had the Steak with Cherry Salad $22

 I like left bank they have good food and its relatively priced.

However, if I tell you I don't want blood coming from my steak, I mean it! Gah.

But the boyfriend loved his which was good, considering its his birthday ha!

Yesterday in the foyer of my work building they had a number of different stalls set up, I'm not sure if these are all local people they must be? Anyway I saw that there was a cupcake stall. This of course peaked my interest so over I went.

They where $2 each

2 for $5

or

6 for $12

I brought two, one for the boyfriend for his birthday. When I gave it to him he asked if it was "A Protein Cupcake" I smiled and said "Of Course" haha. 

But in all seriousness, these cupcakes are purely amazing. If you cant see the label above they are from "Sophisticakes" her name is Barbara  and I highly suggest that you check out her website!

I don't even know if she does online ordering, but I know she makes cupcakes, wedding cakes, engagement cake etc etc. They are so darn good.

Tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary and we are heading away for the weekend a bit of a combo for our anniversary and his birthday.

Cannot wait!

LIFE SNAP SHOT

Since I've been a bad blogger recently I thought I would update y''all on whats been happening in my life via Instagram. (hollymay89)

1) I have been loving lipstick recently - I usually just stick to boring work colours but recently the reds, pinks and corals have come out to play. Hey why not it beats this awful Melbourne weather.

2) To drown my sorrows of working almost 24/7 I brought a new pair of Tony Biancos' online. These look stunning I just hope they are as good in real life.

3) Our receptionists had her birthday at work so following suit we always get a birthday cake, I have never known anything bad to come out of the David Jone's food court. Mmmm food.

4) Sunday, I went into work this was the day after the shocking weather we had - Look @ how disgusting the Yarra water is? #vomit

5) TED's thunder song was right up my alley on Saturday with the crazy weather we had, the thunder literally shook our apartment. Safe to say I moved away from the couch, which we have right in front of the door. 

I'll be back to blogging normally again soon x

TURNING 24

I love birthdays full stop.

So does Siri last Thursday was my 24th birthday  (C'mon retirement) and I had been counting  down if you have been follow me on Instagram (hollymay89) I was overly excited when I got this message from Siri.

God, love her.

On Wednesday night the boyfriend and I watched a movie which was odd for us considering it was a week night and I am usually in bed by 10pm but csonsidering my birthday was now only  a couple of hours away. I was too excited to sleep. Midnight came just as the movie was finished and of course I reminded the boyfriend it was my birthday and that I should be allowed to open my presents now and not have to wait until the morning, he didn't agree with this at first but caved in.  I'm such a kid when it comes to birthdays.

I let out a little squeal when I saw the Tiffany and Co bag - who doesn't love T&C on their bday.

Each layer I removed I stopped to take a photo, the boyfriend was getting impatient hahah.

He brought me a gorgeous necklace with the letter H.

I love it and it's such a perfect birthday present.

The best part about birthdays is hearing from friends, family and just generally feeling loved!

My work buddies spoilt me. We went out for an extended lunch to Left Bank and enjoyed a glass of wine and then just after we got back to the office a gorgeous bunch of flowers landed on my desk.

Followed by cupcakes from the cupcake bakery - Red Velvet... Mm mm

Turning 24 was great and thank you all so much for the birthday love on Instagram each time I got a little notification it made me smile. You guys rock.

The only down side to my birthday was I was struck down with that horrible cold/flu that is lurking Melbourne I felt really bad on Monday and had my fingers crossed that it would be gone by Thursday sadly not! 

My birthday celebrations didn't stop there - On Friday my MD at work was back in the office and felt bad for missing my birthday (Ha!) So he took us out for lunch to continue my turning of age. We all waddled up to Merrywell for lunch - This was not a good idea. Food overload.

I had planned to go out for dinner with the boyfriend on Friday night just the two of us to celebrate but I pyked on my own plans as I just wasn't feeling well, I was all snotty, couldn't breathe and had a headache like you wouldn't believe. Worst ha? So we ordered in Thai food and watched a movie under the blankets.

Saturday we had tickets go to the Dream Time game at the MCG. Essendon Vs Richmond.

Mandatory selfie.

Knowing I was still sick I made sure that I rugged up. I wore skins underneath my jeans ha! Paired with my leather jacket and with the usual bombers scarf and boots.

We went to Meat and Wine Co before the game for dinner. The boyfriend ordered the Onion Rings but I thought wasn't great until they arrived at the table. Those things are amazing. 

I can never fault the food at the Meat and Wine Co. I do think I prefer squires Loft - Agree/Disagree?

We had ground seat tickets but towards the back so we were abit worried that we (I) wouldn't able to see anything as it was almost a sell out match lucky we striked luck and I didn't get any one tall sitting in front of me.  The game went to plan and we won. Go Bombers!
