stay and conquer!

Hello friends! So following on from my previous blog, which I should have done a week ago, but sometimes you just want to watch Netflix and do nothing. 
So after my birthday Bec stayed for a week and does touristy things while I work. Half way through the week my host family leave for Miami and I'm off for the next 10 days (wow)! 
One night Bec and I met up with her friend that lives here and she took us to this secret cocktail lounge. It was so cool  you go into a store and there is a phone booth inside and you walk into that and ring the telephone then there is a door in the phone booth that opens and it's a whole other room, so wicked! 

The next day we went down to SOHO and did a bit of shopping, we also went into the DASH store (the Kardashians store) and it was beautiful I just wanted to buy everything, sometimes I think I'm khloe kardashian (that's weird). 
Then we headed over to Brooklyn and walked around the waterfront. It was such a beautiful day and warm surprisingly. 
We got lunch at the best pizza place in New York called Grimaldi's ( it really is amazing!) and we didn't have to wait outside for long which is a bonus, because I hate waiting. 
This is just a small pizza but it was huge that is why I love America! 

That night I may have gotten a tattoo.. Well yeah I did get a tattoo (sorry mum). When I was about to get it done I was freaking out I asked the tattooist 'what does it feel like?' He goes 'have you ever been shot or stabbed?' Im like 'what NO!' And he goes 'oh good cause it doesn't feel like that' And surprisingly it made me much calmer! I got a paper plane tattoo Which represents my time being in NYC and the awesome adventures I've been on while being here.
I was thinking about getting a unicorn beside it but then I thought Hmm maybe not (terrible idea). 

Friday was her last day and all I can remember was that we went and saw the Statue of Liberty by taking a boat to Staten Island and back, best way to do it if you don't want to go up the statue, plus it's free (what a bonus)! 

Saturday morning she left me to go back to Australia. We really did conquer the big apple in a week, my friend may have needed a holiday after this holiday. I miss my New Zealand buddy! 

I then had a whole week off and kind of went crazy because I didn't know what to do with myself except watch Netflix and go to the gym. 

Anywho that was a good time. 
Love ya longtime people's!

Happy Birthday to meeeeeee!!!

Oh Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! (in a singing voice)
Yes that is right it was my birthday on March 27th. I turned the BIG and 1, which is 21, not 3 but 21!! I am finally an Adult, living in New York, hanging out with friends and no boyfriend (what?!). That didn't sound right.

Any who  this Birthday was the 'Bees Knees' as in a great, cool, fantastic Birthday. For starters one of my besties who used to live in the long white cloud (New Zealand),who now lives in Australia (don't know why) came over for my 21st! I was over the moon about it. We hadn't seen each other for a minute (over 2 years) and she comes and sees me in NYC, on my BIRTHDAY, now that is true love (not really... it's just love).

The day of my Birthday we jumped on a few trains to a Spa in Queens, which was a-maz-zing-zing! It was three levels of awesomeness. The first level you walk into and they give you a t-shirt and shorts to go over your bikini, a towel and also a watch that is a key (that doesn't make sense). So its really a wristband that looks like a watch but you can pay for things and open doors with it.
These were our hot outfits.
 
The second level was the Sauna houses. Every house had a different temperature and was for different things for your body. One went up to 180 Fahrenheit and I'm pretty sure I shrunk (if that's possible). It also had a place where you can buy food for the people that are hungry, so I sat there the whole day (no no I didn't).
 

 
The third floor was the bomb diggity! It had a foot spa, a bar pool, and the best part was the rooftop, where there were two massive pools with big massage jets all around the sides, Incredibubble!

 We also got a private massage for an hour and after that we just wanted to fall asleep it was so nice and relaxing, absolutely loved it!
 
The next day it was party time, but first we had to go shopping. We literally walked around from 10am till 7pm, stopping of course for food. We had booked a Hotel in the city with two of my other friends, which was great! We got all ready and looking pretty and when you look that good girl, you just have to take photos.  

We had a dinner reservation at 9.30pm (I know 9.30 for dinner, crazy!) So we got there just on time and met our friends who were coming out for the big celebration. Our table wasn't ready yet but they said it would only take a couple of minutes (yeah right), half an hour later we finally got seated. They gave us free drinks and made the Chef serve us first, as we had to be out of there by 11pm. We then made our way to the promoters house and headed to the club where we fist pumped.

 It was such a great night, loved having my friends there and celebrating turning 21 with them!
That is me for now see you next time friends :)
