So, I did a thing for my 41st birthday… I packed my bags, flew to Hawaii, and celebrated ME. ☺️✨

I had such an amazing time exploring Hawaii at my own pace in my own world. Now honestly, they can keep the touristy parts (as I write about in my blog) but it was truly beautiful.

It’s time to normalize treating yourself on your birthday. You deserve to sip mai tais, take in sunsets, and embrace a whole new chapter unapologetically.
