Happy birthday! Congratulations on reaching another milestone. You’ve spent all year giving, serving, and doing for others, but today is all about you. Treat yourself, indulge your senses, and savor every delicious birthday moment. Start with a refreshing facial cleanse and hydrating mask before heading out for brunch and bottomless mimosas with the girls. Indulge in some well-deserved retail therapy — a new lip color, brow kit, whatever tickles your birthday fancy. Now it’s time to head home and recharge to glam up for an unforgettable dinner. And, of course, don’t forget to save room for cake—it’s your birthday, after all. Oh, did we forget to mention: this year’s birthday splurge is on the house!
