I know this week has been a busy one and that I why I pre-wrote this blog post and scheduled it a couple of weeks ago! It was my birthday yesterday and I am sure I had a great time. I will of course write about it over the next few days. It wasn't a big birthday, I turned 45. I did have to check a little while ago how old I was, I couldn't remember if I was turning 44 or 45. lol
My birthday is my absolute favourite day of the year and here’s a list of all my favourite things about celebrating my birthday and I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea and their Friday Favorite linky.
It’s my day!!
There’s nothing quite like a day dedicated solely to me It feels like having a custom made holiday that no one else gets to claim, well unless you are born on the same date. hehehe
The birthday wishes!!
I love those texts, messages and calls that pour in from family and friends, some of whom I don’t hear from regularly. It is a lovely way to reconnect and catch up with people!
An excuse to have cake for breakfast!!
Who can argue with birthday cake first thing in the morning? It’s my day so I get to set the rules. Plus I know I am always full from a meal out to really enjoy cake so it was the best idea to have it first thing in the morning.
Free treats and birthday deals!!
The emails have been coming all week! "it’s your birthday come get a free coffee or here’s a little something for your special day". Shops, cafes and even some restaurants will hand out free birthday treats which I plan to enjoy.
The gifts!!
It wouldn't be a birthday without some gifts, I picked most of mine this year so I know I will be very happy and the surprise one's are just a bonus!
No guilt splurges!!
Birthdays give me the perfect excuse to indulge, guilt free! I always say "but it is my birthday" to make any purchase or want acceptable.
The birthday outfit!!
I always love putting a little extra thought into what I wear on my birthday. It is always something which makes me feel good about myself. I got a couple of new outfits for my birthday, I already know. Stu ordered me them and a new coat! Hooray!!
The smell of fresh flowers!!
I love treating myself to a bouquet of flowers. They bring instant cheer, and I feel like my house is saying Happy Birthday too.
A meal out!!
My birthday is the perfect time to enjoy all my favourite dishes without thinking twice or worrying about the calories.
Feeling all the love!!
Nothing warms my heart more than knowing people are thinking of me. A birthday has this amazing way of making you feel loved and appreciated even in the smallest ways.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! What is your favourite things about your birthday?
Happy belated birthday! I am so glad you enjoyed your special day. There is just something sweet about a birthday, right? I love when mine comes around each year. I love seeing my mom each year on my birthday, and I also enjoy seeing my sons. In years past I've requested a dinner out along with something Christmas-y afterward, since mine is on December 14. I am so glad that you were treated so lovingly! Enjoy your weekend, my friend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful day yesterday! I use my birthday as an excuse to treat myself a little, I got myself a lovely candle this year and some bubble bath.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I always have to think twice now to remember how old I am. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful ways to celebrate! I too often have to stop and calculate my age. I just do not know how old I am off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteCake for breakfast sounds great!! That's the way to go. I did that too on my birthday. I'm loving all your reasons for being happy on your birthday. xx
