Hi everyone, lovely to be back to normality after an amazing trip to NYC. I got back on Saturday-ish but I was so tired I just slept the whole day practically. I have such amazing things to share with you from New York, but as you will know if you've read my blog, my camera's a bit messed up at the moment! Bad times. But I did have an unbelievable time. I have been there before, but this trip was definitely my favourite time visiting. I spent the majority of the trip shopping so I will do a separate post on what I've bought. I also spent a bit of time with my friend who came with her mum and dad too, so that was great because we had such a fun time.
Gossip Girl were filming on Madison Avenue while I was there so that was great, and I also went to see a couple of Broadway shows. I saw Promises, Promises, which is so funny. The lead roles were played by Sean Hayes (the overly camp gay one from Will and Grace), and Kristin Chenoweth (who all Glee lovers like myself will know from guest starring as April Rhodes). I also saw Mamma Mia which was good I suppose, but having already seen the film, I found I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. I absolutely LOVE musical theatre though, so I did enjoy both musicals I went to see.
Also, I realised that there's lots of "eye candy" in NY, you just have to be in the right places. A lot of men I saw looked like they just stepped of the set of Gossip Girl - although, given the circumstances, they probably had. Also, I found it was bitterly cold by the end of the week and resorted to wearing around 5-6 layers of clothing! But then again, there was little snow, much the contrary to Liverpool, I later learnt, when actually landing in the UK.
I will post more about my week, but I feel like this post is dragging on slightly. Also, I apologise for not posting while I was there - I was just having too much fun!

Separate point completely:
It was my friends birthday today so we decided that we would all go to one of our houses, and cook a meal! One of my friends made the starter, one made the main, and the others, the dessert. Now, don't judge me, I realise it seems like I put NO effort in, but you are wrong! I brought (mulled) wine - very festive - although we didn't get round to drinking it in the end.
Overall, the afternoon/night was fun, although the birthday girl wasn't feeling too good, as she has been very ill. Also, it did feel rather strange sitting down, cooking for each other, and drinking wine - how woman-ish we are! We are not normally like this to be fair, but as it was a special occasion, we thought we'd be mature adults and dress up nice and eat a lovely cooked meal. That was until we started talking and laughing, and we were back to our immature ways!
Here is what I bought the birthday girl herself:
I got it from Sephora in NYC. Basically, she more or less relies on her mascara more than anything - she won't leave the house without it on!
The present includes:
Too Faced LashLight Mascara in Black
Josie Maran GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara in Pitch Black
Tarte MultiplEYE Clinically-Proven Lash Enhancing Mascara in Black
Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara in Black
Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in Black
Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Mascara in Black
Buxom Lash Mascara in Blackest Black
Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara in Black
Sephora Collection Advanced Lash Booster in Black
Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara in Onyx
Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler
So, that's the gift. She loves cosmetics and Sephora, so I'm hoping she'll love this too!
Also, this same amazing friend made us all personalised, handmade christmas cards! She is so creative...
How amazing?! I LOVE it!!! It was SO thoughtful, and if I had the time, I would totally do that too - unfortunately, I don't.
So, that was my night - that along with my friend undercooking the meat severely, and that it took us about 20 minutes to pluck up the courage to tell her, and also the fact that her dog ran away out the front door!
I will update you with more news from my amazing trip to NYC. But for now, BYE!!!
