~My Birthday~

I started off my lovely day with a cake run to my favorite bakery in LA known as Sweet Lady Jane.

Their cakes are extraordinary because it always has the perfect amount of sweetness, cream, and moistness. I couldn't get my cakes anywhere else.

I added some fresh flowers to my vase, and viola! My birthday decorations came together just as I had  visioned (I was going for a cute floral kind of vibe as this year's theme.)

My favorite part about birthdays is the gift-opening part…duh!

It made my day to see my grandmother's package from Japan make it here just in time.

Just as I expected…the packages from my grandma are always sardine-packed with Japanese snacks and cute stuff.

Since it was my birthday, I requested her to get me these Balance Up Genmai Biscuits by Asahi. Last year in Tokyo, I became obsessed with those cream crackers, so I desperately needed a supply here in LA. 

Now I have it, and I am a happy gal ^_^

Thanks Jim Shires for the cute birthday gifts of the Kutusita Nyanko cat that I adore.

Being the sparkle-lover and dollcult-obsessor that I am, I had to get some of my Nikki Lipstick pasties and clothing as gifts <3 

The rest of my day was simple amazing!!

I went to get my nails done, followed up by getting a full-body thai massage from Nuch Royal Thai Spa.

I spent the rest of my day at the Grove and had a wonderful dinner at Maggiano's, which is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. 

I ordered the Chicken Caprese Salad…and omg, one of the best salads I've ever had!!!
I also highly recommend ordering their Baked Ziti and Four-cheese Ravioli

My best friend Noella works at Top Shop, so I decided to pop in and surprise her at work since I was already at the Grove..…hehe

Love this babe.

Thank you to all my friends and family for all the sweet birthday messages.

I feel so loved <3

This year was definitely one of the best birthdays!!!!

Such a Sweet Day 14/14

I made it an annual thing to spend time with my boo, Noella, every Valentine's Day.

We had a lovely lunch date at a cute place called TART across the street from the Grove. 

I love this babe. 

She has been the dearest friend and is so beautiful in every way.

Spent the rest of our time at the Grove.

Pretty as always.

I finally got to see Noella on the floor working at TOPSHOP!!!

Had a gorgeous Valentine's dinner at home…such a treat.

Steak, scallops, lobster, and salad.

And the infamous red velvet cheesecake and a fresh banana cream cheesecake both from the Cheesecake Factory to top it all off.

Never had a better cheesecake in my life. I could cry. 

Such a sweet day <3
