The Perks of being Me: Birthday

Hey lovelies! I loved sharing my first birthday haul with you yesterday so here is Part 2! These are actually the presents I got from my family on my birthday. I knew nearly everything I was getting as I'm not great with surprises :| I love absolutely everything I received as most of it was either Frozen or MLP..and it's very booky (is that a word?!)...anyway here we go..

Warning..this haul includes ALOT of MLP and EG!! To start is us off is my first My Little Pony comic, which is based off the Season 2 Premiere 'The Return of Harmony'. I love this episode so much so when I saw this I knew it had to be mine. I love how it's just the episode but in comic form, the words and pictures are all the same! I've read abit and I can't wait to read more!! I think there is 2 others in the series so far and I really want them as they include some of my favourite episodes :)

Next is my first Funko My Little Pony Vinyl Figure and of course it's my girl, Rainbow Dash! I love how accurate this figure to Rainbow Dash herself. I love the other figures and brushable ponies but I never feel her hair is done quite right, but this figure is perfect! I love the retro plastic look and feel of it and I can't wait add more to my collection :) Currently on my list is AppleJack, Daring Do, Spitfire, Discord and Princess Candance when she comes out..oh and maybe the others from the Mane 6..aha they are just too perfect!! I wish they made Equestria Girl figures like these, they would be awesome!

I also got the new Frozen books that continue Anna and Elsa lives after the movie. As soon as I heard these book were going to be made I knew they were going to be magical and amazing so I had to get them. I'm not sure if there out in the UK yet but I ordered mine online using amazon uk via a US stockist :') I haven't read any of them yet but I'm planning to start really soon as they just look so good. I love how they are hardback and shiny! They also have the cutest black and white drawings inside. I'll probably do a proper review of them after I read them all but for now they seem great :')

I also got two normal My Little Pony and Equestria Girls chapter books. I knew that I was getting the Equestria Girls book since I ordered it myself and I've now read it and I LOVED it! I'll probably read it again soon and I can't wait to read the other books :) I got the first Rainbow Rocks book with my early birthday money so I now I can't wait for the next ones!! There are some differences between the book and movie but I loved both equally and even wished they had added some of the book version into the movie! The MLP book was total surprise and I'm super glad that I have it. I already have Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie so now I just need Rarity till AppleJack and Fluttershy's come out ;) I have also read the Twilight book and it was pretty good and I actually enjoyed it considering that Twilight is probably my least favourite in the Mane 6!

This cushion was also a total surprise from one of our family friends. I didn't know what to expect but when I opened this I was super happy since I'd been eyeing this cushion since Christmas!! I love the silky fabrics and the art is stunning. Elsa and Anna are on one side looking all adorable and Olaf is on other with the words 'Warm Hugs' written on the top :) It's super comfy and I can't wait to put it on my bed with my Frozen duvet. I really want them to make a Frozen Fever duvet for the summer as the movie one is kinda wintry looking ;)

I also got the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic omnibus with the first 12 comics inside. I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. They are amazing, I really recommend them to MLP everywhere! The comic sometimes follows a story arch, which normally lasts 4 comics and they all super good. I was surprised how well that it was able to capture the different personalities but it sure did and it just made me love the ponies and show more ♥ I love the story arch ones more than the standard comics as they include more danger and adventure like a season premiere or finale. There is also some really cool art inside from different artists inspired by the show and comic strips!! I can't wait to get some more and read them, they are waaay better than boring classics..no offence ;)

AHAA! *inner fangirling* I'm SO HAPPY that I was able to get the Daring Do Adventure Collection!! Daring Do is one of my favourite ponies..my second favourite actually and I love both episodes that feature her. I love the adventure, thrill and danger that you get with her episodes and when I found out that they actually made Daring Do books, I was over the moon! I couldn't have got these normally so I'm still super happy that it was my birthday since you had to buy them in the limited edition boxset and it was going for over £50 online but I found it for about £30 on amazon..which is still really expensive for a set of 3 books..that £10 a book but they are TOTALLY WORTH IT!! I can't stop fangirling when I look at them, they are just so super perfect! I love the detail as they actually look like the books from the show and they even have an 'About the Author' section, like really?! I haven't read any yet but they are next on my list and I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!

This present was also a surprise..so many surprises..but it was a great surprise! I've been wanting this game since I got kinect last year for my birthday and recently we moved to Kinect downstairs to our family Xbox from my room to give us more room, hoping for it to pick up more movement and it does! Me and my Sister have loved going to Disneyland..virtually of course and water rafting..virtually again on Kinect Adventures so my Sister bought me another kinect game called Pixar Rush and it's amazing! You can go to 5 different pixar words and play different levels with the characters unlocking different things. We haven't finished it yet but so far it's great!

The last present I got was also from my Sister. I found at my local Sainsburys (supermarket) in clearance for only £11 and I knew it was needed in my life! I had to wait about a month for it as I bought it at the end of February sometime but it was totally worth the wait. I couldn't and still can't believe how amazing this stage is. The stage is from Rainbow Rocks, the second Equestria Girls movie and it also comes with an exclusive Pinkie Pie with drums :') I really love the Pinkie Pie and she looks super cool! I also added my other Equestria Girls to the stage but I'm hoping to get the Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer with their neon tights on like at the end of the movie ;) I love the amount of the detail from the cutie marks on the bottom of the stage to background and the different colour stands and lights. I was expecting a cheap plastic stage..since that's what toys and dolls were like when I was younger but nope this thing is perfect and super stable :) I can't wait to get all the girls, it's gunna look awesome!!

Before I do my big end speech..as I always seem to do :| I felt this was needed..

They are all my birthday presents from my 16th birthday and I hope you enjoyed :)

My final part of my birthday haul will be going sometime this week hopefully so keep a look out for that! And..I'm SUPER EXCITED since Cinderella and Frozen Fever come out on Friday and I'm going to see it with my Mum plus MLP season 5 starts on 4th April and Sims 4 Get to Work comes out in a week..so much awesomeness to look forward too!!

Until next time, bye lovelies!

Hey lovelies! Today is the start of my birthday hauls :) I have three lined up for you at the moment and I can't wait to share with you everything I got. This haul is actually from about 2 weeks ago as I went out to spend some of my early birthday money with my Mum and Dad. It was a great day and I loved every minute :')

We had dinner at Ed's Diner and it was awesome!

Onto the haul...

First up is the two DVDs I bought. I actually got these first and I was super happy to find them both! I'm trying to collect all the barbie movies and I already had A Mermaid Tale so it felt right to get the sequel, which I love plus Ashleigh Ball voices some of my favourite barbie characters like Keria from Princess and the Popstar and Nori from The Secret Door..and of course my favourite ponies Rainbow Dash and AppleJack, but in this movie is voices Kylie Morgan, so I love the movie so much more!! I also got the number 6 DVD in the MLP series, which was the only one I needed to complete the set so far..I wish they would just release all the episodes now!!

While buying the DVDs I also found these adorable MLP badges and couldn't resist. I'm SUPER HAPPY that Rainbow Dash has one of the bigger badges and I found it funny that Twilight wasn't included!! Fluttershy was included but I sent her to my friend, Mckenna since Fluttershy's her favourite :')

I found these cards at Toy R Us and thought they looked super cool so I bought them! I really love the designs on the cards but I don't think I'm gunna play the actual game with them anytime soon..it looks SUPER confusing :|

Tsum Tsums finally made it to the UK! It has taken FOREVER for them to arrive in UK but they are finally here!! Currently Clintons are the only shop that are stocking them and only have the basic ones but the Disney Store are getting them on 31st March and Primark is also meant to be getting some! I hope that the newer releases like Frozen, Toy Story, Cinderella and Big Hero 6 come to the UK soon because they are so super cute!! I bought Dumbo as I couldn't resist his cutest..look at his adorable ears and the hat..I think I have a hat problem..first applejack now dumbo...help?!!

I was super happy to find these Frozen figures. I had seen alot of people find them and saw they were actual in blind bags in the US but I was actually considering buying them from ebay since I wanted them so much! I have loads of Frozen figures but none from the coronation. I love Anna's outfit the most but they are both stunning so I knew I had to have these figures in my collection to go with my others! They are really nice, well made and a great addition to my collection :)

With the new Cinderella coming out there has been tons of new merchandise including these ADORABLE Jaq and Gus plushies!! Me and my Mum couldn't resist as I've loved them since I little, especially Jaq..probably abit too much actually?! We also say that they remind us of our guinea pigs as Figgles is very fat and loves food like Gus and Mr. Oreo is clever and thin, we also think they look like Remy and Emile from Ratatouille! We have kept them downstairs on own bookcase and they look great!

So my first doll of this haul is one of my favourite royals from Ever After High, Blondie Locks. Blondie is the daughter of Goldilocks and I love her! She has long blonde hair with a curled fringe and blue bow. I'm in love with her dress as it's such a lovely style and the design is perfect. I love the shade of blue with the pictures of the three bears on the front. Her bag is shaped like a lock as her special talent is to be able to unlock any door! Her little black boots are super cute too with the blue tights. She is seriously one of my favourite Ever After High dolls next to Maddie Hatter, of course! Kitty Cheshire is next on my list...

I'M SO SUPER HAPPY THAT I HAVE THIS DOLL! This is one of my favourite Equestria Girl dolls, next to the Rockin Hair Rainbow Dash. I actually went to Toy R Us expecting them to have her since they are a major toy store but they only have a Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Rarity..and Rainbow Dash was higher on my list. I went to Argos next for a new duvet actually but searched up the EG everyday dolls to see if they stock them and they had 1 IN STOCK!! It could have been anyone of them and I thought it was going to be either Twilight or Rarity since they seem to be the most common..and as I walked up to the counter to see who it was, I saw this rainbow colour on the box and blue boots and my face lit up! I couldn't believe it was Rainbow Dash, I had to take a second look!! I'm so happy I was able to get her and that luck was on my side for once!! I love her hair of course it's rainbow..duh?! Her outfit is pretty cool too with the cutie mark on but my favourite thing about her is the big blue boots, I want some!! They seriously remind of these knee high converse that I've always wanted and I LOVE THEM!! I also love her prom boots..do they do a doll with those?!! OMG I just searched it up and they do apparently..OMG so many Rainbow Dash dolls still to get..prom rainbow dash, neon tight rainbow dash, rockin hair rainbow dash..the list goes on!! I also just wanna add that I really love the box art especially the side image with the pony and the back art with the big picture :)

ANOTHER RAINBOW DASH! This is my first Rainbow Rocks doll and I got for only £7 in the sale at The Entertainer! I'm still super happy about that!! I love this Rainbow Dash and once again I think the boots might be my favourite part!! I do love the face lighting bolt though, that's awesome! This is the outfit that she wears on some of the promotional videos and merch, I'm sure she didn't wear it in the actual movie at any point?? The box art is also cool on this one too with a more colourful front image and the same kinda look on the back with with a different picture and no little description. I do love the picture though and I feel it does capture Rainbow Dash more than some of the more girly poses ;) Unlike the Ever After High doll, neither of these EG dolls are articulated (moves legs and arms etc.) but I like that are as I'm using them as figures than dolls :)

I was extremely surprised to see this little cutie in the Disney Store since she wasn't online yet and someone had only spotted one in a major London store a few days before. I knew I had to get her since Rapunzel is my favourite princess and I love her to pieces! She is just like the toddler Anna and Elsa that came out a few months ago and the Ariel and Cinderella that came out eariler this year. I know that Rapunzel and Belle are the two newest toddler plushies and they are both super cute! She has her basic purple dress with her blonde hair in a plait with flowers just like in the movie when she sees in the light. I love her big green eyes and she is also SUPER cuddly!!

Last in my haul is the new Rainbow Rocks book! I was also surprised to see this in stores since I didn't know it had been released but I'm so happy I was able to get it :) You may have thought since the title says Rainbow Rocks that it was a book of the movie but nope..this book is actually about the shorts that were shown on youtube before the movie came out showing us how the band formed and how they all chose their instruments. It's a really great book and I loved reading it! I can't wait to read to second one in the series called 'The Mane Event', which sounds like it will be based on the movie, yay! I'm gunna order as soon as I get some more cash!! It seems like the Rainbow Rocks book with be a trilogy since I've also seen another book in series called Sunset Shimmer's Time to Shine, so fingers crossed we get loads more MLP and EG books!

I posted this picture on instagram so be sure to follow me at @nevergrowup_x , to see my hauls before they are even on my blog! As you can see I also got a Sofia the First duvet, which is currently being washed and I got some Sofia the First stickers for my sticker album :')

So I hoped you enjoyed Part 1 of my Birthday haul! Part 2 featuring my actual birthday presents will be up super soon so check back :') To finish off I'm just gunna share some amazing EG customs I discovered on deviantart by shieveringcanvas and antych.
