It's my birthday and I'll give gifts if I want to.

So today is my 24th birthday. Yea I don't really know how I feel about that. I'm like a real adult and stuff now. This pretty much sums up how I'm feeling.

 

 So to make my birthday more fun and enjoyable, I'm going to give away gifts. Because giving gifts makes me happy. Gifts may just be my love language. I'm giving away 4 of my favorite things to one lucky person that will be chosen at random.

1. A $25 Noonday Collection gift voucher, because you all know by now how much I love Noonday Collection. It's the perfect combination of fashion and helping people. I love that purchasing jewelry can literally mean redemption and dignity for others.

 2. The Unmarried Couple by Maysie Greig. This has been by far one of my favorite books I've ever read. It was written in the 1940s and it takes place in England. The main character, Kathleen, decides that she doesn't want to continue along with her mother's wishes of climbing up the social ladder, so she runs away from her wedding to a Count and stows away on an old Dutch barge that's right outside her hotel. On the barge she meets a handsome Australian man who is an heir to an ancestral home in England, but when he finds her on his boat he thinks that she's a jewel thief. She doesn't want to return to her old life so she plays along. The end up pretending to be a married couple to spy on his cousin who's trying to steal the inheritance. The characters are hilarious and all of their lives seem to cross in some crazy way. I found myself laughing out loud so many times during this book. I don't know if it was supposed to be such a funny book when it was written, but when it's read today it's quite humorous. I wish someone would turn this book into a movie. The main character Kathleen would definitely be played by Anne Hathaway.

 3. Two Alter Eco Dark Chocolate Quinoa bars. Oh my goodness, this chocolate is the best I've ever eaten. And it's fair trade so I'm pretty sure that makes it even better.

 4. A random item from my favorite antique store, Harvest Star. My aunt has been working at this store for quite some years now and I love getting to spend time there browsing through all of the booths full of vintage and antique items (that's actually where I first discovered the fantastic book above). So once a winner is chosen, I'll head over to the store and pick out an item just for you.
