I've been to the opticians faiiiiirly recently, so it's not that. Maybe it's all the screen time. I DON'T KNOW.<br /><br />I think my mum had me when she was 26. She was married with a house and a car and a German Shepherd well before THAT. I, on the other hand, spend 95% of my time in my bedroom with a book, sometimes forget to brush my teeth until after lunch, basically live off cake and spaghetti, and was strongly considering buying a cushion with the Disney castle on it for my bedroom. On the plus side, I did buy my own bedroom furniture, I have THREE live plants in my room, I learned how to wield a roller and build Ikea things, I'm getting my cholesterol/weight in check (ish) and I'm capable of keeping the house standing and the cats alive when my parents go away. WHAT MORE DO PEOPLE WANT?!<br /><br />Happy birthday again by the way, even though we already did that via birthday card, gift note, text AND Twitter. :DElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-63743174613274277822015-04-11T11:18:44.676+01:002015-04-11T11:18:44.676+01:00GO FUCK YOURSELF, BLOGGER.

And thank you :) I feel like half the things on this list aren't even true anymore e.g. you can't even see carpet on my bedroom floor anymore, and I have eaten many delicious and terrible foods. I feel like I don't have to compensate for my age now I am that age? Something. I stand by my water advice though- the water will make you more motivated to get up and get even more water! It's so much better than caffeine! Yay! (You should ignore me because I am 100% planning for my entire lunch to be mcdonalds chips so yeah)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-92103957363685685352015-04-11T11:14:38.982+01:002015-04-11T11:14:38.982+01:00Yeah, google says pretty much the same thing as yo...Yeah, google says pretty much the same thing as you about the eye.

Unless I was already old at 13?! I generally get it when I'm kind of stressed out and tired at the same time, so it makes complete sense to me that it would be happening now that you're super busy!<br /><br />I also remember feeling like I was definitely getting old when I reached my 26th birthday. You're not old yet, but you are coming to the end of the time when you can describe yourself as young without anybody objecting, hehe. I am going to be 29 in a week or so (honestly just looked at the calendar and was like HOW IS MY BIRTHDAY SO SOON?!?!?) and that feels pretty old to me! Only another year until I'm 30, I think I need to get my life a bit more sorted out before then!!!

It's better than my friend, she once lost like half an eyebrow when she was going through a stressful time. <br /><br />But yes, you are winning at things and so HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!!! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-79204692203412218842015-04-09T05:18:38.027+01:002015-04-09T05:18:38.027+01:00I've heard great things about Sword Art Online...I've heard great things about Sword Art Online and I really should get around to watching it!<br />Death Note is AMAZING... until a major plot twist happens and then it's too depressing to watch the rest.

At home I'm just like 'water, what is that?' and then I get confused that I feel like shit. So basically my eye is going to twitch for THE REST OF MY LIFE?!

Eeeeek. But it's awesome Laura! So good for you! Yes, me. Shhh now. I completely agree about makeup and skincare. Yes yes yes.<br /><br />MATE, I have literally watched two anime series (I'm very new!) so I should be totally asking you, but I have so far watched Sword Art Online which was excellent, and am currently watching Death Note which is GRIPPING. Tell meeeeee what to watch though, Attack on Titan is good? (HOW OBSESSIVE IS ALL ANIME THOUGH?! I basically think about Death Note all the time, and it's all I want to watch, so subsequently I have watched no tv these last two days because I've been too tired to read subtitles!)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-5706232313520785742015-04-08T22:31:54.146+01:002015-04-08T22:31:54.146+01:00Kayleigh Von!

My coat comes to about mid-thigh, and if my dress is longer than the coat... it's going to be a rubbish day. It will rain and everything will go wrong and it will generally be horrendous. It's a FACT. To the point where I have coworkers who now groan in terror if I actually wear something appropriate.<br /><br />My Dad had been married for three years by the time he was 26. Admittedly my mum didn't get my married until she was 34 though, so I guess I won't worry too much :p<br /><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW (although I have sent a paper version of this!).Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-86246812168251087762015-04-08T20:01:16.319+01:002015-04-08T20:01:16.319+01:00HAPPY PRE-BIRTHDAY INDEED and also those are exccc...HAPPY PRE-BIRTHDAY INDEED and also those are excccccellent things to be doing.

I love that you ...Happy Birthday Eve, dear friend!<br /><br />I love that you enjoy running, because not many people can! (ugh I hate running) +1 million respect-points! You will surely stay young with all that exercise. And the face-washing. My asian-skincare-regimen at night consists of 6 steps (face wash, toner, gel moisturizer, serum, eye cream, face cream) - I absolutely refuse to sag or raisin. I could care less about makeup, but I care a whole lot about the natural health of my skin!<br /><br />Lol, I love that state of your room or floor is a gauge of maturity. Excellent.<br />On the flipside, OMG you watch anime?! Which series are you currently watching? I haven't watched anything since Attack on Titan, so I'm always looking for something new to obsess over :)<br /><br />Hope you have a fantastic birthday!Etudesquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106938419901219249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-59848494040314626232015-04-08T17:42:25.644+01:002015-04-08T17:42:25.644+01:00Happy birthday eve!

Your present is going to be so late, and that's totally intentional to spread your birthday out longer and not because I'm too busy to get to a post office. Or lazy. It's definitely not either of those two things. <br /><br />But birthday!!
