22

The "2-2 tutu birthday" - JJ. Thank you Haejun for taking me out to Bailey's Chocolate Bar (1915 Park Avenue St. Louis, MO 63104) for a secret surprise early birthday dinner! The atmosphere was super sleek and filled with chocolate lust. Deep red walls, dim mood lighting, hand-painted naked people on the walls haha. We had memorable conversations and serious girl chill time, giggling with desserts and the signature Chocolate Martini - you heard me right. M-azing! It was like liquid paradise. Don't get me started on the "Chocolate Inebriation" - chocolate fudgey cake with cinnamon ice cream and crystallized honey. Excuse my crappy phone pics. It did pretty good for being nearly dark.

Then Haejun surprised me with so many presents! Firstly and mostly, spending time comforting me and inspiring me to think about things different, being a good friend and patient listener. An ultra heartfelt card with sparkles (!!), a chic real leather roll-up pencil case (coolest concept ever and much needed), adorable bear/mole? wearing a watermelon on his head hahaha, and last but not least a storybook! It's called Cloudette and it tells the story of a small but mighty cloud ... so cute and full of puns :) I have JJ read it to me at night lol am I 22 or 2?

What I did today: shameless shameful amounts of shopping (basically my arms nearly fell off). Super excited to share my haul/fitting room review!

Readers - what did you do for your last birthday?
