Tuesday Treats

September 18, 2012


Last week, I turned 24. Although I know that I’m not yet old, I do feel like I’ve gotten to the age where I’m really not young anymore. Though that may seem like cause for worry to some, I really couldn’t be more thrilled to have aged a year… likely because of how spoiled I was this year! My birthday started off with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers & a sunny picnic with D, followed by surprise supper with an intimate group of friends. The day after, my girlfriends treated me to a fancy dinner & equally fancy cookbooks, and we ended the evening with wine and chatter. To top it all off, D took me to Seattle on the weekend, where we explored new places & got to do a bit of shopping.
To say that it was wonderful would be an understatement. Turning a year older feels pretty sweet when you are blessed with amazing people in your life; here are a few highlights from the past few days.

    That indeed was an awesome birthday. I felt the same way about my age this year too. Only that I turned 26 and realized I was not that young anymore not that there is anything wrong with that. It feels great to be pampered on your birthday or every day!

    Aw, happy birthday Jen. I just had mine in July, and agreed – I loved turning another year older & wiser. Looks like you were spoiled (which you so deserve)… and I’ll be thinking about that cake all day! 😉 V

    Happy belated birthday, Jen! The flowers your boyfriend got you are so stunning, I love how timeless they are. They kind of remind me of wedding flowers 🙂 So lovely.

    I’m so glad to hear about your wonderful weekend, and I hope you had a great trip to Seattle.

    Love, Ana

    D knows how to gift a girl. Can he give my Husby some notes, please? 🙂

    What a glam, beautiful birthday. So happy you got to celebrate it in the most luxurious, wonderful way possible–as chic and shiny and bright as you are.

    Much love to you, Jen.

    with love and aloha, Mae
