I celebrated my birthday with a cocktail party, and it was one of the best (and easiest) events I have had the pleasure of hosting.​​​​​​​​​
The evening was beautiful, the friends amazing, the drinks incredible, and the secret to all the fun was a twist on traditional hosting rolls.

All the details are on the blog!

Let's play a round of Top Three Bar Cart Favorites.  I'll go first.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Gray Whale Gin because it's delicious, and I love how the turquoise bottle stands out among the other bottles.  So cute.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Empress Gin because it's purple and beautiful and is the gin for people who think they don't like gin.  Trust me.  It's a winner, and makes a wonderful gift.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Perrier-Jouet champagne in the small bottle because it's my favorite champagne and reminds me to celebrate often..​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What's on your bar cart?  What's your favorite bottle and why?  Any cute cocktail accessories I need to know about?

Hosting dinner for my work team is a high value for me. Sure, we spend huge chunks of time together during the day, but there is something special about gathering for a meal away from work and purely enjoying each other’s company.

Last night we enjoyed a cozy meal, sat at a table lit by candlelight, laughed until our sides ached, and left with full hearts. What an honor to to work alongside such magnificent friends.

I hosted two new in-person events full of delightful details and thoughtful touch points, hired two long-time friends who are now working with me as a part of my creative team, and celebrated two birthdays. Wowser!

On this Monday morning, I am filled with joy and gratitude for the work I get to do, for the people I am privileged to work with, and for you, the reason I get to continue writing and sharing. 

Thank you for reading, attending, supporting, and connecting with me. You give my work meaning, and I hope we get to know each other even more in the coming year. 💗
