mellow birthdays and juice

i had a lovely birthday. spent with family during the day, and enjoyed wine with erika and brian in the eve. it was mellow, just the way i like things these days. my sister and nephews got me a power juicer for my birthday, which helped kick off a 5 day juice cleanse that hector and i started yesterday. today seems to be a little easier than yesterday hunger-wise, but i am super tired and a bit foggy. if i can get through these 5 days, i just might go for another 5. we'll see.

happy birthday to me

i wish i had taken more photos last night, but i was too busy dancing.

the sign i made.

erika's amazing cupcakes. 

white cape cod punch with raspberries and limes.

the flowers tor got me. so perfect!

i had a great birthday.

36

i was looking in the mirror yesterday and found some new laugh lines. i remembered something someone once told me "wrinkles are our history." beautifully said. i thought about the lines on my face and the memories that go along with my lines. each time i laugh and each time i cry, there is a little piece of history left on my face. i know i am only approaching 36 years (my mom swears i am in my prime), but regardless of how young i still am - there is an evident shift in my little thirtysomething universe. i do look forward to my late thirties though. many more goals to achieve and many more laugh lines to create.

bring on birthday month!

new beat

i am kicking off this week with underneath the pine by toro y moi.  this album is so nice. it has a folk-y disco sound. it fits in perfectly with the rest of the songs i have compiled on my birthday celebration playlist, which also includes automatic by the pointer sisters and a little prefuse 73  just to name a couple. i rarely dj my own parties. mostly because i like to tend to my guests.
sometimes you just have to let the music play.

what a perfect way to start the week.
