8 wholesome birthday ideas💚🎂

The weeks leading up to my birthday I kept thinking about how I really wanted to celebrate. I really just wanted to have a joy-filled, wholesome birthday, and this is what we ended up doing.

1. Throwing a camp-themed birthday party. Yes, I turned 28, and yes, I did throw myself a 12-year old birthday party lol. We played a bunch of games in my backyard and laughed so much. There was so much joy in the air and that’s exactly what I wanted.

2. Decorating my own cupcakes. These were for my camp-themed party. I bought some pre-decorated cupcakes, took the original icing off and let my creativity flow with each cupcake. This was pretty therapeutic for me.

3. Having a sleepover with my favorite people. At the end of my birthday party, we blew up a bunch of air mattresses and had a sleepover in my empty living room. As someone who grew up in a really tight knit family, I loved having a sleepover with all my sisters again.

4. Going to a museum. The day of my actual birthday, my husband took me wherever I wanted to go and one of those places was the museum. There was a shark exhibit up and I really wanted to go see it.

5. Spending some time in nature. At that same museum they have a beautiful butterfly habitat that I love so much, so we spent some time there. I was the happiest girl just being surrounded by all the plants and butterflies.

6. Having a photoshoot in nature. The plants, the butterflies, and the way the light shines so beautifully in that butterfly habitat make it perfect for a photoshoot spot. My husband took some pictures of me there and they might just be some of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken.

7. Going to get my favorite treat. I’m a paletas girly, so we stopped by a popsicle shop to get some. That popsicle was amazinggggg and that made me happy.

8. Having dinner with family/friends. I couldn’t end my birthday without good food and more family time.

I had a wonderful birthday this year and it felt so wholesome. 10/10 recommend these plans.
