Birthday at the Breakers

theprepinpink / / Comments

This year I was able to celebrate a very special birthday in Palm Beach. What better place to stay than at the Breakers? I walked in to see surprise champagne and sweet presents from my best babes. I couldn’t wait to celebrate with a sleepover. We dined downtown and danced the night away, and rounded the night out with room service!

We woke up in our suite to the sunrise facing the ocean. We were ready to head to brunch and to hit the beach. We walked over to Ocean House and we were treated to a free birthday breakfast, complete with a celebratory cookie sandwich.

My favorite part was sipping mojitos with my sissy at the beach bar. It was a rather breezy day, but what made it even better was a trip to the hot tub. Watching the sunset from the water was the perfect end to the best staycation with the best of friends.

Champagne Kisses & Birthday Dreams

Now if you know me, you would know that my birthday is not just a day but the party can last all month long. I thought the best way to celebrate would be a birthday bar crawl through Duck… and we did just that!

We started off at our local spot, Sweet Ts Beer & Wine. Sweet T herself hosted a high end wine tasting that was completely ‘angel’ themed, after my last name of course. To top it off, each wine was paired with my favorite hors d’oeuvres from pigs in a blanket to Georgia peaches.

I was more than delighted to see a full house of my favorite folks who came to celebrate my big ‘2-6.’ A few bottles of bubbly later and we were off to Roadside Bar & Grill for more birthday debauchery.

Walking down Duck Road, I blushed seeing my name on the bar signs on the way to the backyard. I couldn’t wait to spend some time with my handsome date. We laughed and danced the night away as the band began to play. Just when I thought this night couldn’t be topped, I stood corrected when they unveiled my unicorn piñata full of jello shots!

Right when I thought the party was coming to an end, my parents paid me a special visit. They took me out for a sunset dinner at Aqua overlooking the sound. Later we made our way to Blue Point as the band surprised me with a serenade. 

I mean, who could ask for a better birthday? 26 is a lot sweeter with friends and family by my side. My first birthday in the Outer Banks was one of the best… so cheers to many more years!

This September, I received an extra special surprise in the mail. This month marked not only Birchbox’s 6th birthday, but also my 25th! What better way to celebrate another year than with a confetti- packed party box? Let’s see what’s inside…

This set of samples is all about multitasking this month. The light- reflecting eye cream packs an anti- aging punch, while also hydrating your eyes. My cleansing set is the best because it softens and refreshes your face at the same time. The leave- in conditioner is perfect for my naturally crazy curls because it keeps them bouncy and frizz free. My Milk Makeup mascara is a must because the charcoal and sapphire dust create the perfect combination of volume and intensity. Finally, the Florence perfume transports you to Paris with notes of the city’s scents.
