Hey Guys, It’s my
first official post and I have decided to dedicate it to my birthday
month (Yes, I celebrate for the whole month).
#MarchBabiesStandUp
Now, if you follow
me on twitter/instagram, you will know that my first birthday present was a
vacation to Cyprus for a week in the sun.
This is the second
trip I have ever been on without my family and all I can say is, I HAD SO MUCH
FUN!!! Everything just seemed better in Cyprus- The Weather, The People, The
Food and The Amazing 5* Hotel (St. George Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort) we stayed in.

DAY 1
We landed mid-day but because I was so tired from packing (*sings I hate this part right here by Nicole Scherzinger*) and trying to get to the airport, we pretty much unpacked, ate and chilled for the rest of the day. THANK GOD FOR ALL INCLUSIVE PACKGAES

DAY 2
We decided to
sightsee around Paphos, Cyprus and got on the local bus, which took us straight
into town and guess where I hit first… *drumroll please*… THE (KING'S AVENUE) MALL!!!
On entering the
mall, I headed straight for my favourite store ZARA and ended up with 3 new
additions to my wardrobe. In addition to my new finds, I also got a new NYX
lipliner for my two orange MAC lipsticks (So chaud & MORANGE). After
leaving the mall, we went to the Paphos harbour and indulged in a speedboat ride,
which gave us a great tour of the city and its surrounding islands.

DAY 3
This was my actual
birthday and it was special from midnight on both sides of the ocean (Cyprus is
2 hours ahead of London). Just before 12am, I went down to the bar with Tosin,
who ordered me an array of cocktails to kick off the celebrations. On learning
that it was my birthday, the Bartender proceeded to give me some shots he told
me not to smell, just swallow. It was nasty but I got my buzz on hella quick!
After getting
carried to bed (yes, I was wasted!!!), I woke up to breakfast in bed (Thank You
Tosin!). A few hours later, a bucket of champagne arrived but because we were
going to the beach, I couldn’t really drink it. After the beach, we headed to
MareMare for Milkshakes and a cake buffet, which I loved. It was the ambience
that did it for me.
After all that
activity, we headed back to the hotel for a Steam room and sauna session before going to dinner, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and yes, I finally
opened that bottle of champagne.
