solo self care day

for the last few years I’ve booked off work for my birthday and treated myself to a me day. this consists of scheduling a massage or facial (truly the best), splurging on a nice lunch and dessert, and sometimes a movie!

going solo on your birthday

my partner is overseas so i’m embracing spending my birthday alone today and indulging in little luxuries i.e. morning walk to grab my fave iced latte, making a fancy breakfast, getting dressed nice just for me, maybe taking myself out to dinner later. happy birthday to me!

A massage, haircut, facial, etc.

treat yourself or level up your usual spa or beauty treatments! I usually pay for myself to get an especially nice haircut on my birthday each year.

The apple health app, specifically the medications feature

If you’re ~mentally ill~ like me, this (little known?) feature in the Health app is a GAME CHANGER. Scheduled med reminders and tracking, plus interaction warnings (including alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis)! And because I’m crazy, I also have as needed medications like Tylenol cataloged in this b. Like I said… game changer.

Strawberry shortcake

All I wanted for my birthday this year was a strawberry shortcake. My friend planned to bake but ran out of time, so picked up instead (special shoutout Mia’s Brooklyn Bakery btw, was delicious). Sure I know it’s maaaybe a lil basic for a cake rec, BUT… yummmmm. I ate it for breakfast the next day and the one after that too.

creamsicles

Best enjoyed after the beach imo but any warm sunny day is a perfectly suitable occasion too!
