Hey guys,

I'm sorry, I kind of lied in the last post. I promised a double post for the weekend, but ended up not having access to my computer. I'm sorry for letting you all down. I'm here to post about my birthday party that was on Sunday, and my actual birthday that was on Friday. And you'll get some good quality pictures now too! Let's get started.

 I turned 20 on the 23rd of May. I actually forgot, in the midst of all this exam whatnot, so when my mom hugged me on the morning of my birthday, I was dumbfounded. We had already agreed on going to the new restaurant that had opened in our town, that sells grilled foods of all kinds. We had to wait for my mom to get out of work, and that was around 3 PM. We picked her up, and went to the steakhouse. The hugest pain was, that it was around 30 degrees out, and the restaurant didn't have ANY air conditioning. Either way, we ended up ordering. I got an ox entrecote, with herb butter, grilled vegetables and fries, mom got some fish and I think dad got chicken pasta. But after ordering, they whipped up my present. I was fairly sure that they got me the camera I've been wanting, but what surprised me was the quality of the camera that they had got. 

And here's my baby, Nikon D3200. It has good specs for a starter photographer, and it's fairly easy to use. I still haven't gotten used to the quality of the pictures I'm taking. Here's a few unedited pictures, for reference. 

What makes me excited that it actually picks up the little color differences in my baby dogs fur! Getting good pictures of a white dog in full blown sunlight is super hard. Either way, rest of the day I spent eating cake and strawberries whilst watching movies.

We didn't do much more on Friday, the only other thing that happened, was that I ended up biting a huge chunk off of my inner cheek. The pains of growing wisdom teeth.. Sigh. The pain was terrible, but it toned down after a while. 

 During the night, my two best friends apparently visited my house, and dropped off a present in my postbox. At 3AM. *slowclap*. First off, there was this hair turban in ( from which I have no pictures because brainfarts ), a pink one, that you can basically wrap around your damp hair. It's like a fluffy towel, and it's really useful. The other thing they gave me, was an super cute jersey mesh top in pastel floral print. I immediately fell in love.

I'm pretty certain they got everything from Primark in Düsseldorf, which they visited for a BAP concert. I'm super happy about everything I received from them, as well as this camera from my parents.

On Sunday, we had a little get together between my neighbors and my family. It included my grandma and nana and papa, and our very close neighbor family, whom are sadly moving to Russia this summer. We just casually talked about everything imaginable and had coffee on our front porch.

What I wore:

Shirt and skirt - Monki

Belt - Seppälä

Shoes - H&M 

Fluffbutt enjoying apple tree petals

All dis food.

Later on I met up with my bromance partner to do some catching up. Below is a selca from that happening.

What I'm wearing:

Sunglasses - H&M ( Find them from this post )

Cropped mesh top - Vero Moda

I got around 140 euro for my birthday, and I order a few things I've been meaning to get for a long time. First off are the clothes:

 The first one is from BOY LONDON and you can find it from either BOY LONDONs own website or Long clothing's own website. This piece cost me 40 pounds as in just below 50 euro. Second one is from LONG CLOTHING, and it cost me 35 pounds, as in 43 euro. Both tops are one size fits all and unisex. I've been meaning to get both, especially the Long Clothing Command vest, for a very long time. I totally adore BOY, even though it's becoming a mainstream clothing line slowly.. I need to keep up my hipster appearances you know. Though the original pieces are kind of expensive and high quality, I keep seeing many copies around. Long clothing is a little less know brand, even though they have a co-op line with BOY called BOY X LONG. Anyway, this heat prevents me from wearing my BOY sweatshirt ( you can find the post here ) that I ordered a long while ago, so I wanted something more summery from this clothing line. Together with postals, this order ended up costing me 103 euro in total, and I bought them both from Long Clothing.

Next things I bought from eBay.

 From top left to right:

Etude House, Wonder Pore Freshener 250 ml - 13 dollars - From this seller

SKINFOOD, Honey Red Orange mask 125 g - 13,18 dollars -  From this seller

Etude House, Collagen Eye patch x 5 - 14, 20 dollars - From this seller

Whale Rubber Soft case in color mint - 2, 71 dollars -  From this seller

Galaxy Snap on hard case - 2,39 dollars - From this seller

EVERYTHING WITHOUT POSTING FEES

I've eyed the SKINFOOD mask for more than a year now, but never got around into ordering it. It comes in such a cute package, like a honey jar, with those cute swirly honey spoons as well! I just couldn't resist anymore, so I order it. I first came into contact with this brand like two or more years ago in the KPOPTOWN website, and fell in love with the brand, since the packaging they use is cute, all the items are organic and they tend to use a lot of fruits and vegetables in their products. 

On the contrary, I've known about the Etude House products for a long time, and when their packaging is super super cute, the products themselves are ridden with chemicals. I never actually thought about getting any of their products, but I saw the Collagen patches as well as the Wonder Pore products being used by Venus Angelic on her youtube channel ( I'm not a fan of her really ), and they really made an instant difference on her skin. Especially the patches, they got rid of her eyebags as well as dark undereyes instantly. They weren't overly expensive in ebay, due to not having to pay posting fees, so I thought about ordering them and trying them out myself. I'll give you a review once they arrive!

Last pieces were the phone cases, which I'm obsessed with. I could almost say I bought an iPhone just for the cases.. But that sounds crazy doesn't it ? They're just so freaking cute... Not gonna take part in any mobile fanwars though. I've wanted a hipster triangle case for ages, but never found one for 4s, only for 5 and 5c or whatever the new phones are called. Now I came into contact with this one, and it suits my needs! But the real highlight in this haul is the mint colored whale case. You can actually shove your earphones and cards into its huge mouth. And look how freaking cute it is! It cost me like nothing at all as well. And it's in one of my favorite colors.

But this was my birthday haul, and I'll be posing and reviewing all items when they arrive. I actually managed to save some money too! I might get a little more in the end of the week, since my aunt couldn't attend the party, and might leave me a lil' sumtin sumtin :3 Anyway, I'm off to study again, one more week to go! Later on today, I'll be going to see the new X-Men movie, leave me a comment below if you have already seen it and what were your thoughts about it! Mia signing out, stay classy folks <3

Ootd for you guys!
