for the last few years I’ve booked off work for my birthday and treated myself to a me day. this consists of scheduling a massage or facial (truly the best), splurging on a nice lunch and dessert, and sometimes a movie!
my partner is overseas so i’m embracing spending my birthday alone today and indulging in little luxuries i.e. morning walk to grab my fave iced latte, making a fancy breakfast, getting dressed nice just for me, maybe taking myself out to dinner later. happy birthday to me!
For my birthday this year, I booked myself a room at a nice hotel, went to dinner and drinks with friends, then took myself to a spa the next day for a massage. Ended it feeling loved, relaxed, and refreshed!
listen, i know everyone and their mother has been to portugal this summer — but for good reason!!
a great first trip for anyone who hasn’t been to europe before. friendly locals and a beautiful city.
love love love lentil soup. it’s so comforting and also keeps you feeling full and satisfied.
i’ve made minor tweaks to the recipe i linked:
- add 2 cloves of minced/pressed garlic after the onions and celery have sweat
- add 1 tsp each of turmeric powder and cumin powder
- use both the zest AND juice of the lemon
regular egg salad sandwich?? 💤🥱
japanese egg salad sandwich ‼️🫶🍞
honestly one of my favourite ways to eat eggs. the recipe works fine even if you sub the milk bread for whatever bread you usually have (but milk bread makes it 10x better). you can’t sub the kewpie mayo tho srry i don’t make the rules.
