my sick 29th birthday weekend! seasons 52, meat market, hyde park, family time + more!

Hi guys, welcome to my birthday vlog. I'm getting ready and I didn't start the video out like what else actually like putting on my foundation and stuff because as you can hear I'm a little bit of a cold. I actually feel a lot better than I sound it's just my voice so took a mid-afternoon nap. We're rocking and rolling. Yeah it's mainly just mucus now like I don't know what's going on but I think I just picked something up at work but this is my birthday weekend and it's gonna be exciting. It's not really like a milestone birthday it's just I'm turning 29 so or as they say 25 uh and yeah so tonight we are going to season 52. It's gonna be kind of repeat of last year honestly because last year was pretty good um it's actually raining just like last year. I only do like this bronzer stuff like when it's like a big so tonight yeah we're going to season 52. Tomorrow my family is like hosting a little birthday party for me. We always try to do like a family get together every month and this month it just happens to like fall near my birthday like the day before so they're throwing like a little birthday party for me which is like so sweet. I really wish I could have shared it with my cousin's girlfriend because we have the same birthday and hers is actually a milestone because she's turning 30 but I think she's busy or something so we're gonna just celebrate hers later and then on my real actual birthday um my parents and I are gonna go to Tampa to the meat market um for dinner. I ate there once with my friend for lunch and it was super good and I really want to try their filet so that's why I was like oh I really want to go to that restaurant for my birthday and yeah I took off work because I didn't want to like have to worry about working like on my birthday or the day after my birthday so um that is a game plan for my birthday. I am happy that I have like all during the day to like rest and do nothing and then have the events because like tomorrow's an evening event, tonight's an evening event so I just sound like I have a frog in my throat so it kind of sucks but other than that I like you know it is what it is at least it's not like a milestone birthday where like you know I'm going out of town or something it's not that bad but I still want to celebrate and I didn't really want to cancel anything because it is so hard to like get everybody's schedules and stuff so I'll suck it up and it'll be fine. I don't think I'm contagious like I don't have like a fever or anything so you'll probably see it in this video but I got myself presents because like I know what like I would want so um all my friends I kind of just say I want the Apple gift card because just in case you know last minute I'm like I want the new iPhone like I'll have some money to put towards that big purchase and then for myself I got a park crew neck sweatshirt thing and it was a Maddie and Maddie Maggie and Emma collab so it's like light blue and has like stripes and it says the park across it and I got that because it'll just replace my the bar sweatshirt because that one was kind of annoying me anyway so I just kind of like you know we're just gonna replace and then I got myself a stony clover micro little handbag it's like the cross body I hope it like lives up to the hype. I want to replace my belt bag essentially so I'm hoping that my vision is kind of you know what I'm thinking but who knows. My brows actually turned out like not too bad today which is good because I'm kind of just like rushing through this I just want to relax more before I have to like go and I'm gonna blow my nose plus also too I have to curl my hair. I'm trying to manifest that this rain is gonna go away because it is kind of killing the vibes here. Also too I'm gonna do like a whole little outfit but I absolutely love this dress I got it at Aritzia. I really liked it and to convince myself I'm like oh it'll be my birthday dinner dress because I didn't have anything to like wear or I didn't have any idea of what to wear so when I was like shopping with my friend I'm like I'm gonna get this and like all of my makeup products and what I use for my makeup I made a whole video about what's in my makeup bag so I'll link that down below and you guys can like see the products and stuff it's not a lot as you can see. Also too I am making a TikTok. I'm like do I make a TikTok? I was like going back and forth and I'm like you know what screw it we're making a TikTok because it's fun and I think making TikToks are so fun like I don't I would never want that as like my career I'd rather do like obviously YouTube so that's why I put more emphasis on the YouTube but I don't know making TikToks is so much fun so why don't I do it? I'm actually gonna use this Bare Glow makeup on Mario lint plumping thing because it's like a little bit fancier occasion so I'm gonna use that but not right now I'm gonna wait till like the very last minute to film the after of my TikTok. Okay so this is the fit I love this dress I like I said got it at Aritzia and just the shoes that I always wear nothing special and then no necklace because this is like a high neck situation and then my normal bracelets so anyway we are gonna get on the road. I finally made it then Mari got me this really cute headband with a sash cute yeah cheers we got our flatbed as well cedar plank salmon yum I got my filet. Kyra you got the tartar? Thank you Jamie got the same thing as me. Yes. Mari what did you get? Thank you The next day. Okay so it's the next day and this is the fit I am still sick I am feeling better but still I'm like kind of still lethargic don't really want to do anything but we're going to my cousin's house there's like this weird flare in this anyway it'll flatten out um we're going to my cousin's house to like kind of still celebrate but also just have like a family get together which is fun uh we're bringing the dog and we're doing like a taco night which I'm really not hungry but it's fine and I think we're gonna do like cake and stuff Valerie's putting like a martini glass on my cake I'm so excited I'm waiting because I just kind of want to be surprised so anyway um that's what we're doing this vlog I swear I wish it was like gonna be better but it'll be fun because I'm gonna see family

gift but also productive and then um I got the pot of gold like a little treasure box thing with gift cards which is really nice all of these are pretty much probably gonna be the same thing because I

you're right I mean it looks like it can hold a lot it can probably hold as much maybe a little bit less than a belt bag but like I like it yeah and then this is the long strap so it could be cross-body it was actually on sale too that's why I got it what I did because I'm so excited for this too because I've been wanting one of these you guys already know what it is wow that is kind of
