A (Sort of) Bougie Birthday Weekend

Okay, so, the title of this post is mostly a joke, but it was hard to not feel a little like royalty with my family and friends spoiling me so much this birthday weekend. Let’s dive right in to the deets, shall we?

My 25th birthday weekend: what we did

The weekend kicked off with family (who’ve been vaccinated now— yay!) baking me a cake, getting me some adorable “25” foil balloons, and the most thoughtful cards. I was particularly touched at the cards both my mom and step-dad as well as my dad and step-mom got me, which were super emotional and hard-hitting in terms of content (yes, we’re big card people so we actually read them and pay a lot of attention to the messages inside; words are important, y’all!)

Then, on my actual birthday (Saturday, March 6th) Andrew and I partook in a stay-cation with our #quaranteam at The Greenbrier Resort in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. That’s when the fun, bougie-on-a-budget atmosphere really kicked in, with a fun dip in the pool, a Gucci themed birthday cake, and bottles of bubbly (of course!)

Bad and bougie with my quaranteam ladies for my 25th!

What I wore

It wouldn’t be a #bougie birthday without a special outfit the occasion, so I wore the one and only nice clothing item I’ve ever purchased for myself: a Gucci bodysuit/swimsuit that I treated myself with a couple months ago, but decided to save for this special day!

So, that’s the long and short of it, but I definitely felt like a queen on my 25th birthday and I’m so thankful for all the calls, texts, messages and more I received that just added to my special day! I’m so lucky to have so many awesome people in my life and on my team; I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

Until next birthday (and hoping for many, many more),

Xoxo, MM.
