A Lockdown Birthday
I absolutely love birthdays! I like to have big parties and invite all my friends and really make a big deal of it. Last year was actually a little different and I went away to Dubai, which of course was also amazing! The point being I like a big celebration for my birthday and sadly this year, that was not really an option.
But you know what? I actually had a lovely day and without the pressure of organsing and planning everything, it turned into a lovely low key birthday.
I started the day with a lovely, naked lie in and tea in bed. There’s nothing I look forward to in the morning more than a cup of tea! I then chose something a bit sexy to wear to mark the occasion and of course some luxurious silky lingerie from Honey Birdette to make me feel very special. I opened my Birthday Cards and had a couple of lovely surprises from some generous gentlemen in my inbox which made me feel very spoiled indeed!
I am fortunate enough to live with a friend and we get on well (even after being stuck inside together for almost a whole year!) so after my very long lie in, we went to the park with my little dog. It wasn’t the sunniest day but it was very pleasant, we chatted about this and that and mostly just joked and laughed together, watching the dog run around being silly.
I love to bake, and during lockdown I haven’t really done much baking because if I make something then I’ll have to eat the whole thing which is definitely not conducive to a healthy lifestyle! But as it was my birthday and no birthday is complete without cake, I decided to try a new recipe. I made a delicious Jamaican Ginger Loaf cake. It was sticky, rich and sweet, all things I love and definitely a naughty treat!
Speaking of a naughty treat, I did in fact treat myself to a new toy for my birthday, the stainless steel Njoy Pure Wand which is an absolutely beautiful toy. I love it when my sexy play things are beautiful as well as effective and wow can I tell you that I had a great time with it! It’s shaped perfectly for self pleasure and it hit all the right spots. I then touched my vibrator to my clit to really set off some fireworks. My god, is that the best way to celebrate a birthday!!
After a bit of recovery and getting the feeling back in my legs I made my way downstairs. My housemate had set the table for a pre dinner snack of cake and a glass of my favourite Laurent Perrier rose champagne and I felt very pampered indeed!
To finish off the evening, we ordered a delicious take away, katsu curry and fried chicken and watched a cute rom com where the girl finally realises that Mr Right was in front of her the whole time.
The thing about spending my birthday in lockdown that will really stick with me is that I chose to do a lot of the things that I do most days anyway and that is a really nice thought. I feel incredible gratitude and I think a simple birthday celebration may be on the cards more often.
