Fly Ass Pisces

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.


Flew With EasyJet!!!

Our 'Welcome to CYPRUS' Cocktails

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

CABLEEEEE!!!!

The Lobby

I love this chandelier so much... I couldn't stop staring at it for the duration of my stay

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.
