it's a celebration!

i usually don't celebrate my birthday. just because whenever i seem to plan fun, fun is nowhere to be found. but since the last two birthdays were SO good, i believe this one can be just as spectacular. for twenty two the GOLDEN birthday,  i partied it up in D.C. as a single lady on the prowl [wore leopard print and everything]. twenty three was romantic and intimate, much thanks to the best friends and the boo the guy that introduced me to birthday sex so good, i don't ever wanna repeat it. so this year, for twenty four, i decided to celebrate my birthday by celebrating the fabulous women i know.  i am so blessed to have such great examples of beautiful, kind and intelligent women that it's about damn time i say thank you.

they are inspirational, they are motivated and they are a GOOD TIME whenever we get together.  life always seems to get in the way so we don't get to spend as much time with each other as we would like. but sometimes the universe gives us a day off to just enjoy being fabulous and that day is my birthday.  i simply want to be surrounded by good deeds and kind gestures, by the people that have been there for years and have a positive effect on the woman i've become.

because they are so special to me, i decided that a SPA day will give me everything i want and everything they deserve.  unfortunately they have to pay their own way. it's relatively cheap but this ain't sweet sixteen, this is more like broke 24.  anyway, we get to lounge around, drink and talk about boys, jobs or lack thereof, family and the latest hollywood gossip.  all the while treating ourselves and our bodies to massages, facials and all that good stuff. so all in all, i would love for my birthday to be the rejuvenation of mind, body and soul for all the women that work hard and deserve to play harder.

and to be sure we'll have a good time, here are some pics from the two birthdays i mentioned.
happy birthday to me but here's to appreciating you! cheers.

if you're not in these, make sure you get a picture this time around!
