My Life as of Lately & Birthday Recap

 
My birthday weekend was spent in Palm Springs with my entire family and Jess. It was such a relaxing weekend, and it was so good to spend some time with the family. (It rarely happens anymore now that all of us kids are “legally” adults!…Yikes calling my baby brother an adult feels strange.)

J laying out… we both lay out with shirts over our faces so as to preserve the skin, but I can only imagine what we looked like to onlookers…the awkward headless couple.

Juuuuust fist pumping in a hot tub.

My faaaaavorite dinner in the world. I make every Italian restaurant custom make it for me. Hannah Special. Gnocchi with rose’ sauce and capers…try it. It does not disappoint.

My handsome love.

My mom’s mango margarita and my raspberry margarita and my awesome Grandad in the back :).

Salmon Gorgonzola arugula salad.

The view from lunch. Gorgeous, no?

I posted this Hermes necklace on my birthday wishlist almost as a “ha-ha in your dreams Hannah”…I never expected to actually get one but my loving mom hunted one down and got it for me. She is truly amazing and thoughtful.

A necklace I designed and created for myself.
Some bracelets made by me.

Birthday dinner with some of the best friends a girl could ask for!

Testing out the barcart pre-makeover… I couldn’t resist! We sipped on Skinnygirl Pina Colada…and I highly recommend. Delicious.

Another b-day gift…Jesse made a complete Zoey calendar for my cubicle, each month a different theme and outfit. I am so tempted to post every picture on here because it is SO ridiculously cute and I almost died of laughter when I saw it.

Miss Z had her 2nd birthday on May 18th! She celebrated with a birthday bone and a doggie cookie.

Kind-of new hair and another necklace made by me before another girlfriends dinner with my best friends in the whole wide world since highschool.

On our way to see our friend dance in a Hollywood show! She is so talented and it was such a fun time. P.S. do my glasses look familiar? Stay tuned tomorrow and I’ll tell you why…

Snuck in a little laying out this last weekend while doing laundry ;).

P.S. I am BEYOND proud and excited to announce the launch of J’s new wedding cinematography/photography business Auteur Weddings. If you know of anyone in the California area needing wedding or video photos he is your man. 
P.P.S. It would also mean the world if you liked their Facebook page. Thanks for your support!
