Sweets & Treats, Happy Birthday to Me!

ALL YOU SEE IS PINK!!!

Hello loves, I did mention here that it would be my birthday on the 1st of March. If you’ve been reading me for a while, one thing you’d notice is that I love to celebrate myself. I am a survivor, still under the care of an oncologist so while I’m still thriving, I rejoice, stay thankful to God and love up on me. Self love is the first and best love after all.

This year, Ash Wednesday fell on my birthday. Being a catholic, I typically like to maintain a low profile for lent. So I low key marked my birthday. Right there in my guest room, my 4th favorite space in my home, wearing my daughters pink dress from her junior prom, Ambertina my favorite pair of all the shoes I own and a matching tiara, I celebrated me. With lots and lots of sweets and treats shame on me.

I love that I got down on carpet level (sitting criss cross apple sauce like my students LOL) to cut my cake, a tiny little piece compared to last years here . The taste of this small but mighty cake almost drove me nuts, pun intended! I had tons of fun with my cupcakes as you can see. If you’re a French macarons lover, then you should definitely try these decadent signature rainbow macarons, beautifully packaged and sent to me with love from the acclaimed Bottega Louis Los Angeles. The sweets too. Yumminess! I totally felt like 'I was in Paris for a day'.
I cant thank them enough!

Style bloggers know the struggle with choosing a handful of pictures to post out of one million shots. I just couldn’t narrow down anymore so I apologize for sharing this many pics. They’re fun and colorful anyhow so you shouldn’t be well, bored. Ha!

I am a rose flower lover and couldn’t get enough of the blue and pink combo bouquet. The pictures do it no justice, they are truly breathtaking.

I’m still basking in all the love from my birthday. I mean, it was raining well wishes on my Facebook all day. From my wall, to my profile picture to other friends' posts. A few on Instagram @fashionably_idu too. I don’t know how I deserved it all but I tell you what. I'm still just savoring it all. Words fail me but I want to say a HEARTFELT THANKS to everyone for all the love.

I was / am still truly blown away!

I also thank you guys for all the love and concern for my son here. Blessings y’all!

What have you guys been up to?
