Birthday Shenanigans Recap

I celebrated the second anniversary of my 25th birthday last friday :) Thursday through Saturday were spent celebrating with some of my favorite people.

On Thursday evening, I met up with some of my fantastic coworkers at a newer restaurant, Cafe Bavaria, for dinner. I had an amazing chicken schnitzel and the biggest piece of German chocolate cake that I have ever seen. There were 6 of us working on it and we still couldn't finish the slice!
Afterwards we hit up The Ruby Tap, which is my favorite wine bar, for some post-dinner drinks.


Kid President knows what's up.


On Friday, the actual day of my birth, I figured there was no more appropriate shirt than my IWYP by Whitney Ellen unicorn shirt and my bare minerals Birthday Girl pin.


B took me to Maxie's for my birthday dinner. Instead of my usual brisket, I branched out and tried the Ahi Tuna steaks. The tuna is seared and served with sautéed garlic spinach and a horseradish potato pancake. SOOOOOO delicious. I practically inhaled my meal.

I was also brought a slice of passion fruit cheesecake with a candle in it. B didn't sing to me, though ;)


B got me beautiful birthday flowers. There was no gift because I purchased a rose gold mini MAC from Rebecca Minkoff in February (because ROSE GOLD EVERYTHING!) and since it was slightly pricey, I said that could be my birthday present.


Saturdays are made for brunch. So I celebrated brunch with my family and best friends at Cafe Hollander (which is right across the road from Cafe Bavaria). I drank the bet bloody mary ever (my favorite is the Milwaukeean, which has cheddar cheese and bacon in it!). In the evening, we grilled out salmon, chicken, and hot dogs and had some friends over for dinner. And of course there was cake!

Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special! I'll have a post coming up probably next week with some of the wonderful gifts I got :)
