My Birthday & 1st GIVEAWAY: Win gift card to LOVE CULTURE!

My 22nd birthday was on Sunday and I was lucky to celebrate it all weekend. On Friday with my friends in Orange County by going to this sushi place I love in Huntington Beach for dinner and then to the bars in Newport Beach. It was a fun and amazing night with the best of friends! The rest of the weekend I spent it in San Diego as my boyfriend planned a surprise trip as his birthday gift to me. It was marvelous and we had dinner at this incredible restaurant, Mister A's, overlooking the entire city, went out in the Gaslamp District and spent Sunday shopping in little Italy :). All said, I can say I had an incredible birthday and I felt so blessed, however I still missed my family so much and all my friends in Honduras since this was my the first one I've ever spent away from home :(. Wish I could've been with all of them! P.S. These pics are from the outfit I wore!

But cutting to the chase, I have decided to do my 1ST GIVEAWAY on this occasion! Enter for the chance to win a $25 gift card to shop at one of my favorite stores, LOVE CULTURE! Open to everyone in the US and international! You can also shop online if Love Culture isn't in your country. Good luck!

It's the life in ur years that count! :)

It's THAT day, the day you were brought into this world... Or at least it was my day on Friday, June 10th. One year older, finally 21! Which can sometimes be frustrating and seem ridiculous coming from a culture where turning 21 is not the biggest deal as we are free to drink at 18. However, even tho I get to spend my birthdays in Honduras (as I’m out of school by that time), after 3 years of college it’ll be nice not to worry about it anymore, especially when most of my friends are 21+ haha.

So I didn’t get to experience a “typical” 21^st U.S. celebration haha, but I had an incredible time celebrating it with all my family and friends back home, I’ve never been away from them on my birthday and I just love having them with me, wouldn’t be the same otherwise. However, in a perfect world I would bring all my friends from the US to come celebrate with me here or vice versa haha maybe someday I can make it happen, maybe when I get married it may happen haha.

This is the outfit I wore for my bday celebrations, perfect for going out for drinks w/my friends and dancing!!! Check it out on LOOKBOOK as well!

My friend and I decided to celebrate our bdays together as his is the day right after mine and even tho we have known each other for over 15 yrs we have never actually done a joined party. It was an amazing idea, we had a blast with everyone and it definitely has been one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. We started at a lounge and headed to the “party” street (if I may call it that) for some bar hopping, basically the go-to place, the only street filled with bars and clubs in our capital, Tegucigalpa. Here are a few pics from that night!
