The Big Two-Five

Fourth Birthday, 1989. Awesome clock/mouse cake with pink Smarties (the real ones)!

♥ ♥ ♥

Today’s my birthday, and I can’t believe I’m 25. It doesn’t bother me like I thought it would, though!

I just finished eating birthday cake for breakfast, and later when Matt gets off work we’re going on an adventure. Not sure what just yet! :)

Stuff I got for my birthday so far:

♥ Birthday cake & bouquet (& a board game, I think?), & money from my Mom & Dad
♥ Too much money from my grandparents :)
♥ More money from my other grandparents, aunts and uncles
♥ A set of tea spoons (!) from my grandma
♥ A set of neon lipsticks (!) from my aunt
♥ Steve Madden A-Yoko boots (!! – black, of course!) & these adorable mice, snail, & hedgehog soaps from Matt
♥ I think Matt’s also getting me a new printer…I want/need one so badly!

Self-gifted (this list is always longer):

♥ Several awesome pairs of shoes (stay tuned!) – I’m a tease!
♥ Elastic cage skirt from Leilanni (been wanting this for AGES. I got lucky and got it for 50% off but I guess it’s not on sale anymore – darn!)
♥ ‘The Villainess’ leather fairytale corset belt from Contrived to Charm
♥ Two chain harnesses (here & here – love!) from Snefter
♥ Threadless ‘Streetlife’ tee
♥ Some fall/winter wardrobe updates (naturally) from ASOS, American Apparel (soon!), & Forever 21
♥ New shelving for my room/shoes/trinkets from Target (hopefully getting this today!)
♥ Leather backpack (so excited – this may replace my purse!) and travel bag
♥ Hana Professional flat iron from Misikko (I love it! Also, the people are so sweet, and it came packed with tons of free extras, silk roses, and tied up with ribbons! Ridiculous!)
♥ 8 oz jar candles from Great Lakes Candles (Lemongrass, Lilac, Sweet Pea, & Rain!) – if you get any, make sure you check out the discounts.
♥ Three vintage teacups & saucers (here, here, and here – too serendipitous, I spend nearly every summer in Penticton!) – I’m going to burn votives in them!
♥ Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk (which so far, I’m loving!), and…
♥ A jump rope! For those active moments :)
