Birthday Lately

Mostly (avoiding) Aging, Lately

{Birthday Lately}

As a flight attendant, birthdays, important family events, life events, holidays, etc. are not always guaranteed off days. For me, I kind of assumed I wouldn't get the 4th of July off. Coincidentally, that is my birthday. So what was our solution to not having the exact day of? Celebrating early, of course. I know this is not always the case and many flight attendants do get really bummed out if they an't have holidays off. Granted, I am not a parent, so I am not missing my kids' life events, and my heart always goes out to those flight attendants who have to miss events such as those. But in my case, there is absolutely zero need to be sad about not having certain days off if you can make the best of it. 

In my case, my best of it was a working birthday trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands, so I can say I was just fine having to work on my birthday! 

We were a tad bit lazy this night, so our background was definitely a fur pillow. (Pillow: $23.99 from Marshalls)

The details on this adorable pre birthday fest that we set up are in text on the picture. All of these things were from Kroger and TJ Maxx. Enjoy celebrating your birthdays, beauties! 

On July 4, I turned 24. I like to tell people that I've turned 21 for the third time, but as of now, I'm pretty content on saying 24. I used to feel like my twenties were disappearing quickly, but it took this amazing 24th birthday day of mine to realize how much I appreciate aging and enjoying my 20's.
