My Most Favorite Month {A Birthday Update}

As I type these first few words, I instantly feel relief and happiness. Even though it has only been three weeks since I took an unscheduled hiatus from blogging, I have truly missed this so much and I’m glad to be back.

To give the quick explanation on where I’ve been: I started a new full-time job (!!!) earlier this month. On top of a much shorter commute, I’ll now be dedicating most of my time to social media, something I am extremely passionate about. My job falls in a new industry which will definitely be a challenge for me, but it is one I am so excited about and I can’t wait to dig in deeper.

To replace the traditional “new haircut” change upon starting a new job (I love my hair too much), my spare time has been spent in full apartment detox mode. Closets were/are the first to be tackled, resulting in me adding a lot to my Poshmark. I’m thinking of doing one of those apartment “tours,” a la my favorite YouTubers, once it’s all done. I’ll keep you posted.

HAIM at Tower Theater in Philadelphia // Her Philly

I’ve also had a great month full of girl power. First, I went to see Lana Del Rey at The Mann – she was fantastic. Later that week, I went to see my girls HAIM at Tower Theater. I danced and sang and it was so. much. fun. I’ve also been loving Game of Thrones, because, spoiler alert: the girls are killing it. Sansa is so my #1.

Inside Marrakesh Restaurant in  Philadelphia // Her Philly

And of course, as May is my birthday month, I’ve been treating myself (which to me includes buying self tanner and indulging in a pedicure here and there). It also means allowing myself to plan my own celebrations, something I felt very self conscious about doing on my single-girl-own last year. This past weekend I was joined by six of my closest friends for a seven course heaven on earth experience at Marrakesh (517 South Leithgow Street). Tonight (my actual birthday!), I am going to The Fat Ham (3131 Walnut Street) with the rest of my Philly crew, and this weekend I’ll be celebrating with my family. I consider myself very lucky that I get to celebrate with the people I love . . . and that my self tanner is finally starting to take effect.

All in all, I am happy to be back (did I mention that yet?) and I hope you’re excited to start reading again. If there’s anything you’d really like to see, as always, let me know. Love ya peeps! xx
