Hula-ing into 25

I celebrated a milestone birthday last month when I turned 25! I started the weekend off with a spa day at my favorite place, International Orange, followed by a husband-homemade steak dinner on our wedding china (used it for the first time!). 

We also planned a small party at Anina, a tropical themed bar in San Francisco. They have a beautiful patio, delicious punch bowls that serve 4-8 people and they let you bring your own food inside (so nice!). We were inspired by our recent Maui trip (read about it here) and wanted to sip fruity drinks in the sun with friends. 

Party Supplies: festive leis, pineapple appetizer toothpicks

Wearing: Hawaiian midi dress

The following day (my real birthday) Garner and I went to our favorite park to picnic and then had a nice dinner at The Progress. He surprised me with a gorgeous gold bracelet engraved with roman numerals of our wedding date and a secret inside inscription of lyrics from our first dance song. I love that it's meaningful AND beautiful. I haven't taken it off since. <3

It was wonderful birthday surrounded by great food and even better people. Here's to making year 25 the best yet!
