happy birthday!!

Not many will be able to say that it was fun celebrating their birthday doing the lockdown. Just want to agree with those people. Haha.

So today is my birthday and there is absolutely nothing to do. Everything when on lockdown last week, but that won’t take me down. So my day started with a song, as always (which I love very much) and breakfast. Good thing I LOVE food. Food might have been the reason my birthday is saved. Haha.

I might turn 26, but I’m still a child by heart, so yeah. My birthday is gonna be me eating and watching movies and hoping this lockdown thing won’t take too long.

Another very important part of celebrating a birthday is the cake. No cake, no birthday. Even if I have to eat all the cake by myself because no one can come by.

One of my favorite types of cakes to make is cupcakes. Easy to make and super tasty.

So I will, of course, share the one I use, which is super fluffy and tasty (and I make them more times then I should and eat them without sharing because I’m a foodie) and as said before, very easy to make.

I will let you all know that I use the Metric system, so if some of the measurements don’t make sense to you or you don’t understand why the oven is not even warm, that would be why.

So this is what you’ll need:

• 125g saltet butter (melted).
• 125g sugar.
• 125g flour.
• 2 eggs.
• ½ tsp vanilla extract.
• 50g milk.
• 1 tsp baking powder.

If that doesn’t look to be simple, I have no idea what will. You turn the oven to 200 degrees celsius and prepare the cupcake pan. n a small bowl, mix milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. In another bowl mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix everything in one bowl and pour it into the cupcake tins. Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes. let them cool on a cooling rack and enjoy them all like there ain’t anyone else to share them with.

My birthday ain’t over yet, so time to figure out what else to do with my day and I might have just the right idea.

Another thing I love to do on my birthday is to take a long bubble bath. With a lot of bubbles! So, of course, I have to combine my two favorite things for perfect relaxation. Food and bubble bath.

I got a bottle of bubbles (alcohol) in the fridge, so before preparing the bath, it’s time to make sure that all my snacks and small things are ready. First of all, chocolate-dipped strawberries. You can’t lay in the bath with champagne without chocolate-dipped strawberries. Then I of course got some cupcakes from earlier and then I need some salt. I personally just make a bag of popcorn, but if you have any awesome salty snack ideas that I could do instead in the future, then I would love to hear them.

Now that all the snacks are ready, it’s time to prepare the bath. I love using products from the company ‘bubble t cosmetics‘. Their products smell so good, good enough to eat. That might be why I like them so much. As the bathtub is filling, smelling oh so very nice, it’s time to set up the little table where all my snacks will be and my iPad, showing me the latest episode of whatever tv show I decided to follow up on tonight.

Now it’s time to finish up and enjoy the last bit of my birthday in the tub and later dinner with the family, but first ‘me time’. Finding a comfy PJ in the closet, slippers, putting my hair up in a messy bun (slightly less messy then it already is), getting my champagne, and finally enjoy my bath. Stay safe everyone.
