birthday ‘25🎈: htx edition

“everyday is my birthday, but this day, in particular, just so happens to come with cake.”

everyone knows that my birthday is thee most important day of the year for me. Whether my plans are big, small, intimate, or distant, that day is planned weeks and months in advance. with me relocating last january, i kept things very small and simple for my b’day. rather using that time and energy to acclimate to my new surroundings. this year, i wanted to up things a bit. so i asked some of my closest peeps to come down to houston and spend the weekend with me celebrating my birthday.

friday night was a ‘cozy night in.” i ordered some of my favorite food, we cut my cake, and had lychee martinis going around the room like a carousel. I’m typing this blog up monday, so everything is starting to come back to me. I had five lychee martinis and i don’t remember everyone leaving my room (apparently, passed out and fell into a drunken sleep🤭). I was met the next morning with a pic of me passed out in bed just before everyone left, in our group chat. so it was safe to say the weekend had started with a bang already. Saturday, after i finally got up and moving (those lychees are dainty but veryyyy dangerous), me and the crew went down to houston’s famous Breakfast Klub. Normally you would plan to stand in line for at least an hour, but on this day we were lucky. the line was short, and we were in the door, ordered, and seated within 20mins of being there. after we ate good, we then proceeded to Blumoon Scents for a candle-making class. The plan originally was to attend a fragrance-making class, but in true houston fashion, things don’t line up, and spots fill up fast. In the end, I was very glad that we attended this candle-making class. The owners were so chill, gracious, and had great energy. So did the participants. joining my crew, was a couple from san antonio and a gay couple from north carolina. the vibes were immaculate and a time was had. the event hosts let us bring our own alcohol, so good vibes flowed throughout the room. the session lasted for two hours and i crafted two scents. the first one, a smaller scent with more masculine, sexier notes, is named ‘ nightingale.’ it smells like sex in a cabin on valentine’s night. the second candle, the main one we worked on, is called ‘coastal summer.’ this one has a lighter, cleaner smell that reminds you of a late summer july night outside. It just feels so familiar. i cannot wait to burn them in about a week once they’re ready. overall, i give the experience a 10/10 and i will be back again, especially since the host let me know that they are now offering fragrance classes as well. :). to cap off the weekend, we went to kamp houston that saturday night. kamp is one of the more famous nightlife spots in the city and i’m glad i got a chance to check it out. the customer service was really good, and the drinks were good. i didn’t get any food, but from what i heard the food wasnt too bad either. this was my first time reserving a section. i was so nervous, because i wasnt sure what to expect, especially from all the horror stories i had heard. but my section leader was super cool and attentive if there was one reason i would come back, it would be her. i would definitely come back. i will say they could definitely use a better dj. I was expecting to hear some meg, sexxy, and glorilla, but hey, thats just me.

as previously mentioned, my birthday is the most important day of the year for me. I want to say thank you for reading this. the support is appreciated. i also want to say thank you to everyone for their birthday wishes, the good energy and love given to me on my special day. I cannot say it enough; i do not take it lightly or for granted. now that my birthday has come and gone, my year can officially begin. LOL

thanks for reading! ❤️
