It is another year over from me ... Goodbye 35 and Hello 36! (although that seems to be sneaking a little too close to 40 for my liking just now!) What a wonderful and relaxing day I had, combined in there with a trip to the hair dresser to be pampered just a little (I don't know why I've never been to the hair dresser on my birthday before, it was SO LOVELY!) .....
I celebrated the day quietly with the B's and of course had a special afternoon tea with jam and cream sponge cake, topped with delicate pink icing! The evening was quite different, we held our School Ball (hence why I was really at the hair dresser earlier in the day!) .... I think I surprised myself and actually enjoyed quite a delectable evening! {don't worry I was well and truly home before the stroke of mid night!}
I'm not sure why I'm sharing photos of myself (self portraits and the camera aren't really my style, but I guess I must continue to learn to be comfortable with having my photo taken, what you see with me, is what you get!) :-)
Mel - 36 years ....
A "little" splash of make up!
Someone convinced me to add some "bling" before I went out!
Don't you love my new little black wrap ...
The year of "35" was busy, challenging. I learnt to juggle full time work with my family life(I'm still juggling that) .. I learnt to be comfortable with saying "NO" in order to look after my own well-being ... I'm hoping that the year of "36" brings me just as much balance (and if not more) and sees me grow more into my own skin (I'm thinking the 30's are actually the prime of my life thus far!) ....
Goodbye 35, you were wonderful, Hello 36, we've got a great year to come!
