2021 Birthday Haul

Posted on October 22, 2021December 29, 20211min read

Luxury lives in the finer details. It’s a cloth napkin at a dinner table. It’s a mint on your pillow before bed. —Iggy Azalea

Last year, I went all out for my birthday in terms of what I wanted to splurge for myself.

Since I rarely treat myself on my birthday, I ended up getting myself a new phone, watch, and an Audrey Leighton dress.

This year? I kept it a lot more low key and it also got me thinking about how I want to live rich a life of luxury.

To enjoy life’s little luxuries has always been my dream. Whether it’s new makeup, beautifully scented candles, or having quiet moments to put a puzzle together, I want to enjoy life more than ever before.

My goal is to never coast through life, but intentionally live it. And that brings me to today’s fun article! Since my birthday is today, I thought I’d share a little haul with you guys on what I purchased to celebrate life a little bit better!

MY 2021 BIRTHDAY HAUL

ROSE INC.

When Rosie Huntington-Whiteley launched her beauty brand at the end of August, I knew I had to get my hands on her collection. I ended up getting two lip & cheek colors, hydrating concealer, and toner.

I’ve yet to try my purchases as I’ve been neck deep in Fashion Month, but I must say that the packaging is so beautiful! If you’re a sucker for good packaging, you won’t be disappointed!

I can’t wait to play with my new makeup when I have more time in the next week or so!

GARDEN GLORY

I’ve been wanting to garden for awhile so I finally pulled the trigger on a luxury gardening brand I’ve had my eye on for years.

After waiting since mid-August, my white and gold garden spade and this white diamond-shaped watering can finally arrived all the way from Sweden last week!

Guys, I’m SO impressed with the product and the packaging!!! It truly felt like I was opening a gift for myself. I can’t wait to use my new gardening gear this coming spring!

DIPTYQUE

If you’re a regular around here, you know how much I love/talk about Diptyque candles.

Hey, I’m very boujee when it comes to candles and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Well, this fall, I treated myself to a woody scented Paris candle! And before summer ended, I also got myself a Cire Trudon candle too. Hey, when autumn is coming, you have to be armed and ready!

I mean, what’s fall without good candles, right?!

HAVEN NAMAI

Speaking of candles, when Jessi Malay opened her new home brand, Haven Namai, I couldn’t type fast enough! True story, I missed initial her candle launch. When she announced a second restock end of September, I did not play games.

My birthday haul came in just in time last week and guys, my neutral-heart melted!!! From the stunning color palette to the beautiful scents, I was in heaven! Part of me doesn’t want to burn them, they’re so beautiful!!!

Do yourself a favor and just pre-order. You can thank me later!

KENKO FITNESS

I’m all about aesthetics and workout equipment is no exception. When I found Kenko last year as I was looking to start a home gym, I fell in love! I mean head over heels type of love.

A year later and I’m still lusting after this brand. I love how their pieces look so beautiful whether they’re being used or laying around. I have my eye on the resistance band first and foremost!

I hope you enjoyed this fun article today!

I’ll be spending my birthday weekend enjoying my haul, catching up on my to-do list, and sleep!

To my grandma who is halfway across the world, I thank God immensely because it all began with you.

Thank you for encouraging your daughter to come to America to live a better life.

Because of your sacrifices, I get to have my most precious gift and cherish her with every fiber of my being. I love you so much.

Mom, thank you for your courage and bravery to come to America with nothing except a knitted handbag and coat on your back.

Thank you for passing on your wisdom and teaching me about emotional intelligence before EQ even became a thing.

Thank you for teaching me that you’re never too old to learn about anything.

Thank you for always reminding me to not stress or worry.

Thank you for always making sure I have food even when I’m full.

Thank you for making me laugh endlessly.

And mom, don’t think I don’t notice that you put the best pieces of food on my plate instead of yours.

My word, I am so incredibly and abundantly blessed to have a mom like you! 

I love you SO much, mẹ! God, you broke the mold when You made her!

Another year without you. It’s hard to believe you left us 14 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder what our conversations would be like if you were still with us…if you’d already be retired or still be doing what you loved, what you’d think of world events, and if you’d finally come to a place where you could tell us stories from the war.

No matter what, I’m going to keep your memory alive. I love and miss you, daddy!

Happy Easter Weekend, loves!

Spent today reflecting on Christ’s love for us and I’m still in awe that until we meet Him, we still won’t understand the magnitude of His love.

Tonight, I’ll be making my return to the gym after two long years!!!

So happy I got clearance from my chiropractor to lift weights again!

Not going to lie, I’m nervous, but I’m more excited because I’ve missed it so much.

I hate having to start all over again, but to know that I GET to work out is such a huge blessing!

Y’all know I love my @apl, so what better way to celebrate than a new, neutral-colored pair of workout shoes?

Goodbye winter!!! Don’t take it personally…I used to love you.

I just prefer sunny walks, flowers and trees blooming, baby ducks swimming, and birds chirping.

Don’t worry. Unlike Ross and Rachel, I have it on record that we’re officially on a break. 

Not sure if I hate your ice storms more or tornado warnings (like the one we just had just now).😑

How do you take your coffee — iced or hot?

Iced all year round for me.🧊

Oh and whoever invented bean water, thank you. You became a hero the day you threw some beans into hot water and created this magical elixir.

Life was breathed into us so that we may live to have the chance to love and help others.

Think about it.

When you leave this Earth, no longer will you have any more chances to love and help the people surrounding you.

The chance to smile to make someone's day better is gone. The ability to make someone laugh is done. The chance to hug someone to make them feel better is over.

It's all gone.

The opportunity to help others and show them love is here and NOW. Who says you have to love by yourself?

Love is more powerful when you have a body of people who are on the same mission as you. Do you have people in your life you can love others with? I can definitely say that I do.

Every day, ask yourself, “What am I doing with this day that has been graciously given to me?”
