What I got for my birthday 2013

I scheduled this post earlier in the week, because as this post goes live I will be visiting my wonderful hairdresser and getting my hair dyed! I have always wanted strawberry blonde hair, for as long as I can remember! I decided that now is as ideal as any other time to try it and see if it suits me, what's the worst that could happen?! If it doesn't suit me I can always dye it back after all! Wish me luck!

If you're a follower of Bee's Knees you'll know that last weekend featured my birthday! Although I've got piles of posts that are itching to go up on the blog, I thought it would be nice to share with you the wonderful presents I received from my nearest and dearest!
