‘There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents, and only one for birthday presents, you know.” -Lewis Carroll
I’m a lucky girl. Yesterday I celebrated my one day a year for birthday presents, and I have to say, it was pretty great.
I am one of those people who strongly believes that birthdays are for celebrating. Because why not? Any excuse for champagne right? My celebrating this year started with champagne and confetti (and these pisces cocktails) before a night on the town with all of my favorite San Francisco people at my favorite neighborhood bar with dance floor, Rosewood. Then there was delicious brunch with gaggle of girlfriends at Rose’s on Union Street, a requisite photo taking sesh, manicures and pedicures with bright pink polish and unwrapping of presents. It ended with good Italian wine, great conversation (25th year accomplishments, year ahead goals, the meaning of life, the amazingness of hanky panky undies), new friends (I’m looking at you, Jeff), a killer cheese platter and candles to blow out in chocolate toffee bread pudding at Heart wine bar in the mission (also seen here). What more could a newly 26 year-old girl ask for on her birthday? Not much ♥
