Can’t believe it’s been almost one year since I wrote this post. I was looking forward to my 21st birthday even more than usual, and no, it’s not because I couldn’t wait to drink legally. To be honest, I could probably count on both hands the number of drinks I’ve had since then! I have nothing against drinking, I’m just picky about my drinks (love sangria and white wine and mojitos my mom makes) and I just don’t care to do it often…it’s more of a special occasion thing for me.
Anyways, a year has come and gone and again it’s time for my birthday. The big 2-2. I might be even more excited for this one, because I will finally feel like more of an adult. I’m literally the youngest person at work, and being 22 will mean I at least seem as old as some of my similar age co-workers. And also because it’s my first birthday being away from home. I’ve always loved having a summer birthday, because it meant never having to go to school on my special day and usually getting to do something fun (and outside!) with my family. This year, my family is making the 10+ hour drive to come visit me for my birthday weekend so it feels really special.
Artsy selfies by the pool…totally necessary.
So it’s officially birthday week, and how am I celebrating? I plan on doing a little something for myself every day this week. Tomorrow I’m probably going to try this new-to-me cafe and get a gluten free vegan crepe. Wednesday and Thursday I have work but after I get off on Thursday I’m going to my favorite juice cafe to get an overpriced fresh-pressed juice. I want to get the Whole Foods salad bar sometime this week. Of course, I’m hoping to get a couple runs in there because a good run makes everything feel better. And pool time will be necessary. My fam gets here Thursday night and from there birthday week really gets going.
An early little treat. Mostly because it cost $5.
So that’s life for me right now. I will hopefully be back with a birthday weekend recap next week but in the meantime, I’m stepping away from blogging and social media to just soak in the next few days. See ya later!
Do you celebrate your birthday week?

Happy Birthday, Sweets!
Love how you are celebrating. Can’t wait to see more of your “treat yo self” things.
Birthday week sounds like a great thing. I think I’ll have to do that this year for my birthday since it’s the second day of school. I love how you’re celebrating!
And alcohol is expensive. The Actor turned 21 last year and had a bunch of drinks when he went on a college trip in February, but other than that hasn’t actually bought much alcohol.
That sounds like the best birthday week ever! I would definitely do all of those things for my own birthday week! Hope you have a super duper birthday (week)! Can’t wait to hear allllll about it 🙂
You know how to do birthday week right!! I love this. Normally I keep my birthday on the DL and don’t like to make a big deal of it, but doing things like THIS is so my speed!! Happy 2-2!!
Birthday week is most certainly a thing. I hope it’s going wonderfully so far 🙂
Ah, Im super envious you have your birthday in July! My birthday is in January and it always either rains or snows – Ive always dreamed of having a BBQ or a picnic on the beach! Hope you have a good one!
