Too Much + Too Many = Perfection

It was a fabulous birthday, complete with the best of friends, family, and loved ones. Stories and laughter complimented by multiple Berry Smashes and Organic Pomegranate Martinis. Dinner outside on a beautiful night. NBA finals in one of my favorite dives. Cocktails and hookah at Gazuza till 2am. It was an evening of too much and too many, but it was the perfect 25th celebration—so perfect that I didn’t mind waking up on Wednesday with a well-earned birthday hangover.

Celebrations and debauchery to be continued on Friday with some more fabulous folk and a few out-of-towners. So far I absolutely love 25.

The number of Florida electoral votes for the 2000 U.S. presidential election.
The name of the national card game of Ireland and India (Pachisi - Hindu for 25).

The number of syllables in The Gayatri Mantra.
The atomic number of the chemical element Manganese.
The oh-so-fabulous age I am TODAY!
