Birthday Tea and Cake

In life there are many important milestones of age; 18, 21, 50, 60...and so on. Today myself, Huda and Farah celebrated our lovely friend Alex's 18th birthday. Since you only turn 18 once, it gave us every reason to make her day as special as possible.

The birthday celebrations began at the nail salon. And as you know from my previous post, I haven't had a manicure in what feels like forever! So this made me very happy.

Four manicures later the celebrations continued to the other side of Doha at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. 

Can you guess what we did next?



Well of-course it had to be afternoon tea, with a spectacular view at that. Up of the 23rd floor we went and when the elevator doors opened we were exposed to a breath taking view that had all of our jaws on the floor. 


Sat down over-looking the city of Doha with three lovely ladies, it really doesn't get better than this (and the food hadn't even arrived yet!). We even had the whole room to ourselves. Result.






There was something for everyone on the Menu -  better still we all opted for the Ladies Tea; Scones with Clotted cream, Sandwiches and an assortment of Berries with a tea of your choice. And we made no mistake in doing so as none of it went to waste! My mouth is even watering thinking about it!







Eye spy a manicure.




If your mouth wasn't watering before, I bet it is now!


Here is the beautiful birthday girl ready to eat the scones that she had been dying for all day long!


 It was time for the birthday girl to open her presents!





The best present to her was having her boyfriend come to surprise her!


Lots of lovely gifts later, Alex was spoilt rotten - as every birthday girl should!





We left the hotel 10kg heavier than when we came, but it was so worth every bite of it.


A final Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl friend, Alex. I really hope you enjoyed your special day and that you enjoy the rest of your birthday celebrations!
