Today is my birthday and it’s been exactly one year since I turned 30.
It’s been crazy busy here lately but I told my bosses I wasn’t working on my birthday (and they couldn’t do a thing about it). I’ve worked on my birthday only once in my life, it was some insignificant birthday in my twenties and I regretted it. It’s only one day a year. Treat yourself!
When I turned 30 last year, I was lucky that my sister, Joey just arrived back in NZ after being in Europe. I was able to catch up with her on my birthday. This year, I’m lucky that one friend finished a work contract and another finished uni for the year so I have (at least) two lovely people to hang with.
The weather has been stunning over the past few days and I’ve made plans for a super day before the weather packs up again…
The Daily Specials:
Amuse-bouche
1 hour aromatherapy massage*.
Appetiser
Head to my favourite swimming beach to catch high tide.
Main Course
Enjoy a light picnic lunch and then to Cheltenham Dairy for ice cream sandwiches.
Dessert
Dinner with my family at Cazador, one of Auckland’s best kept secrets.
*I’ve never had a massage in New Zealand. Weird huh? I get them in Asia because they’re so cheap you can have them daily. It takes some getting used to NZ prices, but I decided to splurge for my birthday. I’ve been crazy stressed and busy that my body is screaming for a good massage. Plus, immediately after I made my booking, I got an email from them offering a discount for a birthday massage. Sweet!
