Birthday girl.


I had such an awesome birthday- and to think, I wasn’t going to do anything!! (Shanté? Do nothing? Never! Haha- I hear some of you cry). It’s just one day in the year and you got to thank God for sparing your life to see another year and it’s a great chance to reflect on all the achievements you have made thus far- so I say everyone should do something-even it’s just simply a meal.
Anyways, as I said, it was an awesome day. A blessed, chilled and very relaxing day in fact. I'll take you through it! I started with getting my toes did- a midnight purple :D Then I spent the afternoon having afternoon tea at the Hilton with the mother dear. It was a real cosy. The service was excellent and the food and tea galore made us so comfortable. So comfortable that we had to hop, skip and jump over to the Aldephi theatre to get to The Bodyguard on time. We made it haha! And by the way- IT WAS AMAZING! SERIOUSLY AMAZING! Beverly and the team gave the story life AND justice. 10/10 I say! I was laughing and crying, sometimes within the same scene! The songs got everyone going too! Who doesn't love those songs! 
Finally the day ended (well just before this, my mother and I got free Rosé in Garfunkel because we went to use the toilet and I had my birthday badge lighting up! Cheers Andrew!) with us heading to the Roadhouse in Covent Garden. There I met with my good mates and my sister. It was a fun night! With a live band and the DJ playing a cool set alternating, the night was a great one to end all of the celebrations. Here's the pictures! Enjoy!


ALSO, my blog turned ONE last week!! Woo hoo! The first year has been great, and I'm looking forward to what the next has in store! Enjoy this journey with me... :D

Year '22' Begins...

MY AMAZING, BEST-OF-THE-BEST, GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A WEDDING CAKE, CAKE! Thanks mother, did an awesome job with the design!! And taste sooooo good <3


I had a lovely birthday yesterday! Very relaxed (well somewhat!). Turning 22 is not one of the big ‘milestones’ I say- next one for me is 25-nonetheless, I am thankful to God for allowing me to live to see my 22nd birthday and for all the wonderful family and friends that were there to make my night! In my 21 years on this earth, I have been blessed to have done so many things around the world- from studying in California for a year, attending summer school in China and spending a month in the United Arab Emirates to perform for millions with my theatre company.  I am truly thankful to those that made things happen and look forward to my future adventures.

I celebrated my birthday with family and 10 awesome friends at ‘Kimchee’. A Korean restaurant located in Holborn, Central London. I can now say that I have fallen in love with the place-the food and the decor make it perfect. For a Wednesday night, the place was buzzing, but my guest and I were somewhat secluded from it all, which I loved- it felt we had a private suite haha. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough; I am looking forward to going back- you can get full on starters alone!

Like I said my day was somewhat relaxed as at the restaurant I was so hyper and excited. Pictures were just being taken left, right and center! No surprise haha. While editing through my pictures, I really wanted to limit the amount I put on my blog. I have, I guess, but obviously it’s still loads! Haha! If you want, you can check out my whole album on facebook.

Regarding my outfit, I don’t think I made time to take an ‘outfit shot’, sorry. I went for pastels and prints- which I love, separate and together. I received so many complements on my hair and outfit and I felt it was the right choice of wear for a 22nd. Compared to my 20th, where I wore a gown! Haha.

Have you been to ‘Kimchee’? What do you think of the restaurant? Hope you like the pictures!
