In February...

Apologies for the lack of posts recently, my laptop has been playing up, but I figured its a new month and a new start so to make up for the lack of posts here's a great big one....

Although February is the shortest month of the year, I managed to pack in a great deal, here's just a handful of things I got up to on the most Romantic month of the year.

I Spent Valentines Day at the Hilton Spa...

As Valentines Day fell on a Tuesday this year the boyfriend and I decided to reschedule Valentines to the weekend after (he did however remember to send flowers on the day.) So we booked a "daycation" experience at the Hilton Hotel in Deansgate Manchester. We were greeted at the front desk and taken to the restaurant to enjoy afternoon tea, which consisted of sandwiches, cakes and the biggest Macaroons I've ever seen!! Before been taken upstairs to the spa to enjoy the facilities, we spent an hour swimming in the pool, lounging in the jacuzzi and relaxing in the sauna before enjoying a couples massage which was so relaxing. Half an hour has never gone so fast! I could of stayed on that massage table all day.

My Niece Finally Learnt to say my Name...
Regular readers of my blog will have seen past posts about my niece Florrie who never fails to make me smile with her cheeky antics. I spent a day with her recently and was pleasantly surprised that she could finally say my name, I don't have the easiest name for a 2 year old to say and she had yet to master the word Aunty. However I spent a day with her this month and she said my name perfectly and about a million times that afternoon. Here's a few snaps from the day.

 I Attended The Manchester Fashion Show...
This month I attended my first fashion show as press, sitting front row I got to see all the amazing clothes up close and enjoyed a great night with friends, all the details from the night are here.

I was a Domestic Goddess for a Day...
Despite the sheer amount of  uni work I have due in next month I decided to take a day off and spend the day baking with my flat mate. We have both recently been gifted with cookery books so decided to make a few recipes, White Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla Cupcakes. I was so excited to make cupcakes in my new cupcake holders shaped like teacups, so Cute!

What did you get up to this February?
