WHAT I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY

Marc Jacobs The Mini Dual Bag // Paul Mitchell Flat Iron // Dosey Pill Keeper // Blissy Silk Hair Bonnet // Apple Watch w/ Milanese Loop // Byredo Les Miniatures Set // Leatherology Medium Train Case 

I'm turning the big 3-2 this week! Every year around my birthday I share a "what I want for my birthday" post which is my "to me, from me" wishlist. I always like to treat myself to a lil' something something so here's what I have my eye on for this birthday!

At the very top of the list is a new flat iron- mine is pretty much dunzo. This one is hard because I'm particular and picky with hot tools. I need a work horse and in my experience, it's 100% worth it to splurge on a good quality flat iron. For years GHD was known as the crème de la crème of flat irons. I've always wanted to try one and was contemplating both the Chronos and Platinum+ Styler, however it's hard to decide based on reviews. After more research and, I then landed back on and oldie but goodie favorite of mine- this Paul Mitchell Flat Iron. I had one growing up/all through high school and it was THE best flat iron ever. The reviews are still great + I'm pretty sure it's a lot less expensive than it use to be. Right now, it's sitting at my top choice but if you have any recs, please send them my way! 

A few random things are this Blissy Silk Bonnet and the Dosey Pill Keeper. I've been wanting to get something to keep my hair off my face at night and I like that the Blissy is 100% silk. The pill keeper has more room than my current one + is way cuter!! 

Another upgrade on my mind is a new Apple Watch. I've been wearing my Dad's old one for years now which is the original Series 1. Surprisingly, it's still kicking after all these years and has worked great for me to keep up with my daily steps. The other features are more limited/dated. Because I'm pretty active, I think I would benefit from having newer features + health metrics. I also like the look of the Series 11 Gold with Milanese loop. It looks more elevated for day to day wear, however I've heard some mixed reviews on wearing the band for workouts. Definitely adds a question mark to whether it's worth the splurge! 

The last few things have stayed on my wish list for a long time. I've had my eye on both this Marc Jacobs Mini Dual Bag and a Leatherology Train Case for at least a year or two now. Both are fabulous! I would also love to find a new scent for 2026 and I've always wanted to try the Byredo fragrances. This miniatures kit is so cute + comes with all of their most iconic scents. 

What would be your pick- help me decide! - xx.

WHAT I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY


In honor of yours truly (I turned 31 today!)- here's a little "what I want for my birthday." I always feel the need to preface these wish lists with a disclaimer that this is a to-me, from-me kind of list. I never ask for anything when it comes to birthdays and holidays and that's also why I only post these on the day-of (hehe), however I do love a little treat myself moment. I think special occasions are a good opportunity to splurge a bit if I can swing it! Most of the items on this list are more splurgy items I've been eyeing for awhile-- some you might recognize from previous "what I want" posts. 

The shopper in me loves discovering new things and it's also fun content to share here with you! If I buy anything, my top pick right now is the Omnilux Contour Mask- I've had it on my wish list for close to two years now. It also seems like a fitting gift for a birthday- a little anti-aging to combat the day, no? I'm also obsessed with these sunglasses- they are so so good. What would be your pick? It's kind of a lost cause trying to pick a favorite item from your own wish list, lol. 

On a sentimental note, I'm grateful for another trip around the sun today. Getting to celebrate and spend time with my family is my favorite gift. I usually feel a little sad on birthdays- this year not as much. It's always a weird feeling "losing" another year of youth, but gaining another year of age and wisdom is a blessing. I also feel a lot more excited and hopeful for the year-maybe that's what happens once you're in your 30s...?? It feels like things are just starting to get good!

WHAT I WANT FOR MY 30TH BIRTHDAY



In honor of my birthday (surprise- it's today!), I'd thought I'd share a few items I currently have my eye on. Each year I go through the same motions and emotions on how bittersweet birthdays always feel to me, yada yada. I will spare you with the sob story this year, lol. Now that I've entered a new decade (which TBH still makes me want to run for the hills), I'm trying my best to embrace a new milestone and season of life. Instead of looking back and wishing for time to slow down, I'm looking forward to new growth and opportunities. It's also about time for me to enter into my bad b*tch era, ya'll. It's also time for a little birthday treat to me, from me. Right now these are the top things on my wish list-- which one screams fine and forever twenty-nine? LMK!
