| Above: I started the day completely surprised by the arrival of a beautiful birthday bouquet from the RoC Skincare PR Team...I am thrilled to have been asked to be a RoC Ambassador again, this time for 2014! |
Ten days have rapidly passed since my birthday (1/4) and I figured I better finish this recap post before a new month is upon us!
Kindly scroll on for some images from my day...

| Above: I started with a spritz of my newly procured fragrance, Balenciaga's Rosabotanica. A full review on this intoxicating elixir live on the blog in a day or two! |

| Above: One birthday gift to myself was to reorganize my office (completed the day before!), which has yielded a new sense of sanity for my stash of makeup and skincare waiting to be reviewed. Ahh...the nuanced challenges of a beauty blogger! |

| Above: One of my birthday gifts was this silver cuff from the 1940's...aesthetically, this totally reminds me of something straight from the movie "Leave Her to Heaven." |

Bottom Line: I feel so blessed to have had a wonderful birthday with my family...a simple day in gorgeous surroundings...what else could a girl hope for? I have a plethora of new makeup and skincare posts in the works (Balenciaga fragrance, Surratt powder, Guerlain eye and lip cream, lip color galore, just to name a few)...can't wait for them to come to fruition in the coming weeks!
Also, I'll be attending
IMATS LA this weekend (1/18-19) as press (any of my LA BP readers attending?!) and will be taking a host of pictures to properly document this premiere makeup event...a full overview on the horizon ; ) Read all about my experience at IMATS last year
