If you read my latest post How I Made an Extra $1,000 Over the Month of September by Selling Clothing Online! then you will know why October is one of my favorite months of the year! And this year brought even more reason to celebrate I turned a new decade, HELLO 30!
There are tons of articles online that highlight 30s being an age to look forward to and I am here, ready to make the most of it! Since my birthday is at the end of the month, I decided to make my birthday into a birthMONTH and gain as many experiences as possible with friends and loved ones. They say a photo is worth a thousand words so I thought a photo gallery below would be the most appropriate way to show you all the fun I had!
I was invited to sponsor and promote the first Annual Adult Play Date in Crystal City, VA. We had a good time enjoying being outside again and playing games like we did as kids! Growing up as a 90’s kid we played games like silent musical chairs, relay races and hula hooped all day long! I even had the chance to shoot paint ball guns!
It wouldn’t be fall if I didn’t visit a pumpkin patch and winery! My friends and I drove down to Bluemont, VA to Cox Farms and had a great time checking out the animal farm, eating cider donuts and of course snapping some pictures! There were three birthdays to celebrate during the month (including mine) and we ended the night with cake and laughs!
I was given the opportunity to join the marking team as a brand ambassador with bumble to represent the Washington D.C. market! As ambassadors it is our job to tell the community about bumble and show them the amazing benefits it provides empowering women! There were a few Happy Hours I attended as well as setting up and hosting my first bumble event with a blogger and real life friend, Alana. Our event focused on the importance of self-care and relaxation. What better way to bring that into a physical form than with Yoga & Brunch? The ladies we met were so lovely and I look forward to holding more events similar next month!
Last but not least, MY BIRTHDAY! I started the day with my Dad & stepmom and had brunch at one of D.C’s most popular brunch spots; Farms Fishers & Bakers in Georgetown. After brunch Chris and I went to get our nails and feet done (yes, he got them done as well. Men need self-care too!) then went to an amazing four course meal provided by a local D.C. chef at one of my favorite restaurants and cafes, Songbyrd in Adams Morgan. Dinner was complimented by a round table discussion from diners on their belief of finding love in 2018 and of course wine parings.
Chris and I also dressed up as our favorite characters, Rick & Morty for Halloween and danced the night away at a neighborhood bar!
