23

My mom & sister :)

The awesome thrift store we found while waiting on line at Black Tap

They have a basement with all vinyl records, and it was awesome to go through! (Side note: The show "Vinyl" on HBO is fantastic!)

These milkshakes made the wait totally worth it!

My birthday weekend was a whirlwind of fun, and it really makes me appreciate the people that I have in my life that go above and beyond to make my birthday extra special! Sadly “I’m feeling 22” by T.Swift no longer applies to me, now that I’m 23. There seems to be a lot more responsibilities added with this age, out of all of my birthdays so far. I’m looking forward to seeing what this year has in store for me!

My birthday celebration started with my family in NYC at Black Tap. We had to wait an hour outside in the cold because they don’t take reservations, but let me tell you it was SO worth it!! Plus because there was four of us we took turns waiting in line, and my sister and me found this awesome thrift store right down the block! Shopping definitely made the line go by quicker :)

On Saturday I went to a delicious birthday brunch, followed by a stop at a specialty donut shop. Basically my birthday weekend consisted of A LOT of eating (thank gosh for the gym lol) But hey it’s the one day (or weekend in my case) a year that you are allowed to splurge with no judgments! That night I went out with my girlfriends to the city, and we partied until the sun came up. In my books this was a successful birthday weekend, and I am very grateful for the special people in my life.

As you guys can tell, I’m trying to incorporate a lifestyle vibe to my blog and I would love to get feedback on your opinions of this addition! Comment below what you think of this kind of post mixed into my blog. Thank you so much for following along it means the world to me! Now I’m off to sunny Florida :)
