My 27th Birthday
By Alina Avery
I’ve taken a bit of a break from blogging, but I have a lot of fun content ideas so I’m trying to get back into the swing of it!
Yesterday was my 27th birthday (#old). It was a fantastic, relaxing, celebratory day and I documented the whole day via snapchat story!
We kicked off the day at Tatte for breakfast, where I had their amazing Shakshuka. After a few hours at work (where my amazing coworkers gifted me flowers and cupcakes!) I took a lunch time barre class at Bar Method followed by some shopping and a quick stop at Petco to get catfood (life doesn’t stop). FYI, Bar Method is offering their normal new client special, $100 for 6 weeks of unlimited classes, for just $85 during January! And Club Monaco’s sale section is an extra 30% off! What a time to be alive.
Finally, I had a long shower and some pamper time before heading out for dinner. While we were living in NYC, we ate at each of Daniel Boulud’s restaurants, working our way up to the night we got engaged at Daniel. So for my birthday this year, Matt took me to dinner at Bar Boulud in Boston. We ordered an outstanding bottle of wine, shared charcuterie, and devoured our entrees.
A little drunk and very full, we headed home for some lounge time on the couch with Bisous before bed.
I love birthdays as a time to both celebrate and reflect. I’ve had an amazing past year – I got married, moved to Boston, started a new job, learned a ton – and am so excited for what this next year will bring!
The festivities aren’t over, by the way. 90s dance party tomorrow night, anyone? #yes.
