My Birthday Experience

As you guys know, I am now officially 25 years old! I mentioned on my last post that I have a weird thing with birthdays. I know some people love their birthdays and celebrate a lot but I just am not a huge birthday person. I mean I still like going out and doing stuff but I just feel like I don’t really wake up super excited expecting a huge thing and feeling one year older. That’s why I wanted to do something super chill and not very birthday like for this years birthday and I am happy to report that was exactly what I did! I was also happy that my friend, that’s always on my posts lol, had a week off from med school so we were able to hang out!

First we headed to lunch and of course forgot to take pictures but we had fun chatting a lot so that was awesome. Next, we went to a place called NOIR Gallery which is a gallery and restaurant/cafe. It was really pretty but unfortunately the gallery part of it was closed for renovations so we were not able to view it.

We started at Wapi Shop which is a little shop at the entrance. It was so cute and had a lot of cool stuff.

They had a cute little pond area before you go the cafe/restaurant:

However, there was a reserved gazebo we were able to sit at since the people who had reserved it weren’t coming till later on. It was really pretty:

Unfortunately, we were also being eaten alive by mosquitos so we ended up moving to a different table.

We also took some pictures at the bar because why not lol.

And of course some behind the scenes:

Overall, it was so amazing and we had such a fun time. It was very beautiful too and the staff were really nice and even offered to help take pictures for us. I would definitely recommend it although don’t wear a dress unless you want to attract every mosquito in Nairobi. Just want to give a special shoutout to my sister and Mistry for a wonderful and unforgettable birthday!

        1. Aha seems like a great experience. You and your friend look great. Although I know you are a fun person. But whenever you are with Dentmistry, you are you, always smiling and always being the real you. I’m happy to see these. Atleast now I know what’s your birth month. However I’m confused about the date 😅.
          Keep smiling just like that ☀️😁

  15. I am hitting forty this year. I am not that excited anymore about the whole birthday thing. Seems you had a good time. Happy birthday!

    1. Thanks so much!!

  16. Happy Birthday to you. At 25, you are still a baby. I haven’t been excited about birthdays for the same reason you mentioned–one year older. LOL. And one year wiser too.

    1. Haha thanks. Yes one year wiser too lol.

  17. Sounds like you had the chill birthday you wanted. I think you have the right attitude about birthdays, just nice to be remembered and not expect too much. The greenery of that restaurant looks nice but mosquitos are not. No zappers?

    1. Yes I definitely had the birthday I wanted. Lol we just moved because there were other insects too.

  18. Hope you had an amazing birthday Pooja – I’m glad it was super chill the way you wanted it! :))

    1. It was perfect thanks!

  19. Many happy returns – sounds like a wonderful day x

    1. Thank you- it was wonderful! Lol yesss the mosquitoes were awful 😫

  21. Loved the pink nails❤❤
    So glad you had a great time with your girlfriend. Happiest blessed one

    1. Thank you so much- it was amazing ❤

  22. Happy belated birthday! It seems like you had a great day too 😊 I am also not a huge fan of birthdays and I usually don’t plan big things for it, but I like turning them into “favourite things days”, where I get to just enjoy the day with people that I love, doing things that I love, guilt-free 😊

    1. Thank you so much ☺ That’s honestly the best way to think of your birthday and spend the day. It takes the pressure off and you can just enjoy the day.

  23. I loveeeeeee your nails 😍😍😍😍💖💖💖

    Now that I got that out the way, so glad you enjoyed your birthday and it was exactly how you wanted it! I wish you were able to actually view the gallery though.

    I am so not excited for mosquitoes. Ugh.

    1. Aww thank you!

      Yes it was such a perfect birthday! I was happy to do something low-key!

      Mosquitoes are the worst and I’m always terrified to get malaria again lol 😫

  24. Happy Birthday 🎁

    1. Thanks 😊

  25. Hope it’s not too late. Happy birthday pooja!!! Glad you an amazing day. ❤️

  26. U really enjoyed yr day and look so happy. That is great

  27. Not excited about birthdays either. Glad you had fun tho

    1. Yeah birthdays are weird. Thanks- it was quite fun.

  28. Happy Belated Birthday, Pooja! If 4/22 is the day of your birth, then you were born on Earth Day and my wedding anniversary! 🙂

    1. Thank you and I was born on 20th so maybe when you were preparing for the wedding lol?

      1. lol OMG so close but no! If you just turned 25, then you were born in 1997, right? We got married in 1996. 🙂

        1. Yup 1997! So close. I guess you were planning your first anniversary in 1997!

          1. Yes! 🙂

  29. Happy Birthday 💫
