birthday snapshots.

*Disclaimer: I left the fancy camera at home. Please pardon the mediocre photos….I know you all expect better.

Welp, it’s official. I am 25 years old. Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

This birthday weekend consisted of: not-so-healthy road trip snacks, a sleepover at my bff’s house, tasty almond waffles in Malibu, a mini shopping spree in Santa Monica, beach lunches in Laguna, many flavored mojitos, 11 whole hours in Disneyland (!!!), a looooot of time in the car, and endless pizzettas at L Wine Lounge with a few close friends who were kind enough to brave the storm and join me for a cocktail.

Thank you to everyone who sent sweet messages and made me feel special on Sunday, especially to my birthday twin Diana who took time on her 30th birthday in Rome to send me a little gift and a sweet note. Is it just me, or could we all use more friends like that? Not to mention, be friends like that? ;) Food for thought in this next quarter century….

    Sounds like THE perfect birthday weekend.

    A few things:
    a) Where did you have almond waffles in Malibu? (Do you know if the Malibu Inn has reopened?)
    b) How did you make it back in one piece over the Grapevine on Sunday? (I was down in SoCal and my flight got canceled due to the severe weather), and
    c) I’ve never been to the L Wine Lounge and I think I am missing out.

    @Robin – Hi! ;)

    @Ashley – Thank you friend.

    @San – a) I mistyped. They were actually almond pancakes. Almond granola pancakes to be exact, from Marmalade cafe. SO GOOD. b) We left really, really early. Just barely missed the show chaos. c) YOU ARE. It’s in Midtown, on L street (duh)….you must go immediately.

    @Diana – I am going to look that up right now. I love the little things too.

  13. Holly says:

    Mediocre pictures? They’re fantastic! Now I have to look through the rest of your blog to see your other pictures :) Happy belated birthday!

  14. Lauren says:

    Are you on your way back yet?? That was just enough time to make me realize how much I really miss you on a day-to-day basis.

    We didn’t share a flavored mojito together while you were down here, and considering that is just an essential aspect of friendship, we just need to see one another again. and soon.
