Had lunch at Black Pig with my bubba yesterday before I celebrated my 22nd birthday with my friends from down south at Soledad. Great place, delicious food & awesome deals! You guys should definitely check it out! :) Also got amazing gifts from Derek & my friend Angie! Yay!
I am welcoming August with open arms as I prepare to celebrate my 22nd birthday this year!
I am feeling incredibly old and struggling on a daily basis to look far from it. One of the many ways that I would like to do to celebrate my birth month is by indulging my personal wishes by writing about them. It’s the least I can do for myself, guys. So, please, don’t judge me. Without further ado, here is my 2015 birthday list that is filled with cheap, realistic, overpriced, superficial, weird, and downright that-is-so-Vikki wishes!
1. Urban Decay Naked Palette. No, I don’t care if it’s the first, second or the latest release. I just want one so bad. I hate doing my eye make-up but recently, I discovered that it could be more fun than frustrating! So, yes, I want a Naked Palette (or anything that is at par with its quality). Throwing in a few brushes won’t hurt too.
2. MAC lipstick in MATTE or any good quality lippy that goes on MATTE. I hate non-matte lipsticks. Just, no. (Any color will do.)
3. LUSH Karma Kream Lotion. Ugh. Body cream sent down from heaven. I need it in my life. I just finished the one I got earlier this year and my skin is not happy about it.
4. A charm for my Pandora bracelet. I need a reason to start wearing it. Adding more charms is reason enough.
5. Marble designed case for my 13” MacBook Pro to stylishly cover up the dents and scratches that clumsy me has made on it.
6. Let’s go out on a fancy date in a posh restaurant that serves good food that I haven’t been to and get me -
7. - a bottle of bubbly. Red, white or champagne. I don’t care. Just get me one ASAP.
8. Take me to Zalora’s pop-up store in Shangri-La and buy me the first three things I fall in love with. Please.
9. Anything from Aranaz or Aranaz TU! Even if it’s just a small notebook or a maybe a stylish bag. I don’t care. I just want something from Aranaz so bad! (They’re on sale this month, btw.)
10. A shopping spree at Forever 21/H&M/Topshop/Zara please. Some of these stores are on sale too! wink wink
11. A scented candle that actually smells good!
12. Go thrift shopping with me at thrift shops, vintage stores or warehouse sales and don’t be whiney about it. I am addicted to cheap thrills but getting the best ones usually requires a whole lot of patience. Going on a thrift adventure with someone sounds fun!
13. A paper shredder. All my close friends know how much I have always wanted one.
14. Tons of bubble wrap. One of my favorite stress relievers. I mean, who doesn’t like popping those, right?
15. Complete seasons and episodes of my favorite shows that have already ended: Gossip Girl, How I Met Your Mother, 90210, Lost, House, Supernatural (still ongoing). I don’t care if it’s the original set or if it is procured via Torrent. I need it for some major hermit days.
16. A sick 90s mixtape. I don’t even need to explain this one.
17. A roadtrip to somewhere I haven’t been to.
18. An adorable teacup or a whole tea set. Lola vibes.
19. Girl Boss book. For some reason, this book is always out of stock! But I really want to read it. Amoruso is #goals.
20. Spa day! Yes. A massage sounds so good right now.
21. All the Korean barbecue and chapchae (only the legit kind please) in my favorite K-restos: Samgyup and Korean BBQ Restaurant.
22. A penguin onesie. How the hell do I not have one yet?
That concludes this year’s birthday wish list. Hope August turns out better than I ought it to be! Cheers!
