I got a new pair of summer kicks for my b-day.
Purchased locally from here.

· weekend goodness: she's five! ·

The "baby" of our family is my sweet niece, Ailyn, who is now five! She is a funny, smart, caring, energetic little girl who continually entertains our family...seriously, she is such a ham! She refers to her three older brothers as "the brothers", as in "Where are the brothers?". Lol. She is the youngest of my brother's five kids, and she is dearly loved by her four older siblings. We are so blessed to have her (and her brothers and sister) in our family.

p.s. That last photo is my absolute favorite!

· b-day loot ·

A few birthday presents I received over the weekend that I'm pretty excited about: a new odette necklace from the minerva divinus collection, maui by mcmc fragrances and wild mint lip balm by phoenix botanicals. It was a lovely birthday weekend spent with good friends and family!

A yummy cherry cobbler cupcake from Crumbs Bakery with my dear friend. Happy Birthday, Tinsley!

A snapshot from my b-day weekend in Brooklyn...we had a little fun at the pop-up photo booth at the Brooklyn Flea.

I wish I had a better photo of this cake...because it was delicious! Thanks mom for making me a yummy cake for my b-day!

Awww...my good friend Shelia made me this custom make-up pouch for my b-day! Isn't it cute? I love it...thanks She-She!

As of 5 minutes ago I am 30 years old! And to celebrate, I went here. It was a truly relaxing and much needed break from my normal schedule. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to get away for my birthday...I have some great memories and photos from my trip!
