Ping! Birthday Celebrations: Part 2

Last night Jesse and I and a huge gaggle of girlies headed over to Earl's Court for a night of cocktails, pizzas and ping pong. Ping is the absolute ideal hangout, think American kitchen meets frat house party and the perfect place to celebrate our birthday. Ping pong tables, dashing waiters, uber cool DJ's, scrumptious food and even more delicious cocktails  was just the fuel needed to keep the ping pong coming all night. 

Sitting right in the heart of the joint, we were presented with a round of slushies.

Think grown up slush puppies, with a touch of that naughty stuff. Keep em' coming!

Salame - Mozzarella on a tomato base, with spicy Italian salame and chilli.

Ice Ice Baby - Ping's very own concoction, Absolut Citron, Limoncello a dash of sugar and single cream. 

Winter Staple - Roast chicken, garlic roast potatoes & beetroot on baby spinach with croutons.

Pesto - Basil pesto, grated parmesan and roasted potatoes on a mozzarella base. 

The Queen - Rich tomato sauce on their signature pizza base, fior di latte mozzarella, sun blushed cherry tomatoes & wild rocket.

Food was positively delicious, naturally most of us opted for one of the many pizza's on offer, but Crawf being on her 'no processed food' diet went for the salad which was equally as scrumptious. 

What I'm Wearing: Motel dress, Tahlia's Closet necklace, ASOS spike bracelet & Kurt Geiger Heels.

Following dinner and of course a few more cocktails, and hello ping pong time. 

Naturally it's all in the name of fun, but we couldn't all deny that we weren't a tad competitive, and our light hearted round robin tournament got rather feisty.

Roni & Laura were a great team, sadly the cocktails had affected my hand eye co-ordintation ever so slightly, but otherwise I would have won hands down errrrmmm definitely not.

Following the rather epic tournament we moved on to a spot of beer bong which obviously I was equally as fantastic at...

And poor Natti & Em getting the brunt of it.

Following the never ending beer pong tournament and a high competitive game of flip cup (far too involved for photos - apologies) we went back to the ping pong for a doubles tournament.

Team twinnies. We were obviously the best team going and lasted way more than 2 points....

We bat and balled the night away till the early hours of the morning all grinning from ear to ear with a slushy infused triumphant feeling which lasted the entire taxi journey home.

Thank you to all my gorgeous girlies who made the night just so much fun.

Already planning a return trip. 

Sadly Ping isn't open for lunch but get yourselves down at 6:00pm every evening and chalk your names onto that big ol'blackboard to get a slot on the highly coveted tables, check them out on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and online here.

Happy Easter y'all!

Birthday Celebrations: Part 1

As most of you know I celebrated my birthday a couple of days ago and got absolutely spoilt rotten with an obscene amount of chocolate, presents and pampering. My best friend Roni, came round in the morning with a tub full of homemade chocolate chip cookies which I could not wait to sink my teeth into. As of March 12th I had gone without chocolate for 101 days, far too long for anyone to be without that gorgeous bean, but come b-day I was given chocolate left right and centre and to top it all off, my lovely Daddy sent me 36 Malteaser bunnies. Heaven!

It was odd being away from my family for my whole birthday but boy oh boy was my birthday package a treat. Bursting with M&S goodies amongst all the presents. I was a very happy little girl.

Roni and I went out for a huge birthday brunch at one of my favourite breakfast spots in Leeds, The Box in Headingley.

After which my lovely housemate and I, went for a little manicure sesh.

My housemates got me such gorgeous presents and this little macaroon jewellery box was by far my favourite. Emma searched far and wide to find it, and I absolutely love it! Isn't it the cutest!?

Roni & I were seriously getting out pout on. Reverting back to our 14 year old selves.

What I'm Wearing: ASOS Twist Back Body, New Look Necklace, Gap Jeans & Kurt Geiger Shoes.

Next stop, dinner at Viva Cuba. Recommended by Roni, this was certainly the best Tapas in the whole of Leeds! It's hard to find good Tapas outside of Spain, but this was the real deal. Perfect cocktails followed by unbelievable amounts of food. The girls and I were in our element.

Gambas Rebozada 

Calamares Fritos a la Romana

Emma decided to have a rather generous piece of the Pollo Picante (Chicken breast fillet served with house piri piri sauce). Little did they mention that their "homemade" piri piri sauce was code for some seriously hot hot sauce. Poor Em is not one for spice, and decided to get her own back after all of us were in hysterics at her reaction and gave an even bigger serving to Hayley...

WATERRRRRR!!!

Dinner was absolutely great and despite leaving absolutely bursting at the seam (not a great idea to wear a body-con leotard...), we headed off to Call Lane for a tipple or two and a boogie in front of the live band at Norman's.

Thank you to my gorgeous girlies for making my birthday so special, had a wonderful day and can't wait to celebrate again later this month with my twinnie.
