So my birthday is in a week from tomorrow. It totally crept up on me. Ok, the girls do mention it a bit as they really want some special treat that day or around it. I totally get it. But this year I am turning 39 and have one more year until the big 40. Plus next year is also our 10 year wedding anniversary about two weeks later. So big things next year.
This year Rory is taking me to Hells Kitchen. It has been open in South Lake Tahoe for over a year or two now and I have always wanted to go. My sister went for her birthday (last year I think) and she said good things about it. I have heard mixed reviews, but I really wanted to go. So I asked Rory and we booked it about 2 months ago.
I am taking the day off of work and not sure what I will do. Get a pedicure maybe? My toes are bad. I have a little bit of gel left on some and others have nothing.
Anyways, Rory and family is always asking what I want for my birthday, so I thought I would share here (family reads here). Most of these are higher priced items as I usually buy what I want. This way, they can go in on gifts together. See practical. Ha.
The Point Rothy's - I have a classic rounded toe pair that I wear all the time and now I want this fun color. These shoes are perfect for travel and everyday wear. Plus they are super easy to clean. You put the whole shoe (I take the soles out and wash in a lingerie bag) in the washing machine and air dry.
Emerald Cut Blue Topaz Ring - I really want a simple birthstone ring for my girls. I love emerald cut and how dainty this ring is.
Kendra Scott Haven Heart Hoops - I love KS jewelry and these earrings are a fun take on the traditional hoop earring.
Vuori Performance Jogger - I love Vuori products and have been wanting a pair of joggers for awhile. These ones come in long which is what I need. Rory has some joggers from them and the material is so soft looking.
JBL Noise Cancelling Earbuds - I think my earbuds that I use at the gym and for travel are on its last legs. They often turn off or short out.
Lululemon Align Legging - These are my favorite leggings by far. So many bloggers recommend dupes, but nothing compares to the Aligns. Believe me, I have bought a few and they don't live up to Lululemon. I am always in for another pair of these.
Kerastase Blond Absolu Shampoo, Conditioner, and Mask - I love this combo for my hair and I am almost out of them. I haven't had the mask in awhile, but it is amazing. It helps rebuild your damaged hair and makes it silky smooth.
Dyson Airwrap (also here and here) - This always sells out so fast, so I put multiple links. I really want this as my hair is prone to breaking and this set uses little heat. It is a blow dryer, curling "iron" and blow out set. Definitely been eyeing this since it came out.
It is so hard to find items for my birthday, but I do have fun looking around at things. What is on your birthday/shopping wish list?
Whenever I have money to spend I don't know what I want to spend it on!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am the same. I often save it for something bigger.
DeleteSuch a great list, but I can't wait to see what's on your 40th birthday wishlist!! That ring is beautiful BTW!
ReplyDeleteOh geez. I am hoping for a second wedding band and maybe a trip. I do want the ring to commemorate my journey with my girls.
DeleteGreat list. I want some of these.

Sometimes we gotta spoil ourselves.
DeleteI totally agree re: Lululemon Aligns. So many people recommend the Amazon dupes and they don't hold up, wash terribly, and pill!
ReplyDeleteSo very true. Nothing compares. I take such good care of mine that they last forever.
DeleteI am getting so intrigued by that Dyson air wrap too! I'm seeing it everywhere!!!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve it ALL momma!
I want it so bad, but the price sucks. I just wish they would sale some of them separately.
DeleteI loooove those Rothy's. I've been wanting some bright red ones, but I'd love to have this color, too! They are seriously the best shoes!
ReplyDeleteThey seriously are the best shoes. Do you want the pointy ones, the sneakers or the originals? I want more of them but they are pricey.
DeleteOh I am loving all of these baubles- Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThose joggers are really cute. I haven't heard of that brand. I have always wondered if the dupes live up to the real things, glad to know they don't! I want something that feels good if it is a dupe...I don't care if they have the look of the dupe...you know? Such a fun wish list! I have been working on mine too.
ReplyDeleteI only know it because my husband loves them. He has so many things from them. I totally agree. And I have tried the dupes, but they are not as good. The Lululemon aligns are soooo soft. Oh what do you want for your birthday?
DeleteThe shoes look beautiful and I love the color.

Me too. Fun for a pop of color.
DeleteWow this is a big milestone year for you guys. Happy almost birthday and yay for August babies! Loving that emerald cut ring - so pretty <3
ReplyDeleteIt will be for sure. But we still have one year until then. I am savoring my last year of my 30s. Ha. I love August babies! We are the best! I love the ring too. I want it to commemorate the journey I have had with my girls.
DeleteThe summer is going so fast! I can’t believe your birthday is in a week! What a great wishlist! I bought that Haircare brand for the first time and I love it!
ReplyDeleteWay too fast. It is a great brand. Especially for us blondes!
DeleteI love love love Rothys! I've seen mixed reviews on the Dyson Airwrap though! I think it was Kait Hanson who didn't love it?!
ReplyDeleteOh we follow each other, so I will search her site to see what she thinks. I love Rothy's. My MIL got me the Rothy's!!
DeleteI've always wanted to get a pair of Rothy's. Love the bright pink! That blue topez ring is stunning! Have a great birthday week!
ReplyDeleteJill - Doused in Pink
They are so comfy and you can put them in the washing machine. That is a total win. I love the ring so much and can't wait to wear it!
