AHH we’ve hit 26 years! That’s actually so wild to me! Early in January, I got the dreaded piece of mail… I’m officially getting kicked off the insurance haha… 😭 so yeah. What a time! Anyway, I’ve made it a priority to make sure I am intentionally living in the moment with family and friends. So, in the spirit of embracing 26, I want to share how I celebrated this year—simple, meaningful, and full of moments that truly mattered. Whether you’re planning your own birthday or just looking for ways to make everyday life more special, I hope this gives you some inspiration! 🎉✨
Cute Bakery Vibes
After work on Friday night, I went out to a cute bakery with a friend! Sweets with sweet friends are a great way to start the birthday weekend! I got the Matcha Frappe, Soboro bread, and Red Bean Mochi Bread.
Karaoke Dance Party
I’ve low-key made this a birthday tradition of going to karaoke with a couple of my college friends. I got to the private room first, so I set up the machine and queued up some songs. I sang a few solos while waiting for some friends. Our room was located right by the bathroom, so when there was a line, a couple of people peeked into our room… While I sang my solos, I literally covered my eyes because I didn’t want to make eye contact with anyone LOL. We started off with some 2000’s classics, and ended on with Disney songs! Even at age 26, I will be singing along to Disney music! It’s nice getting to decompress from the week with good company and good music.
Sunday Brunch
After church, I went out to lunch with some friends from small group. It was restaurant week at Makers Union, so we got to have a nice little 3-course meal, including an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I had a double dessert and had a cheesecake and a bread pudding. Again, having good food and company is such a fun way to celebrate your birthday.
