How exciting that your Birthday is approaching : )
My fave way to spend my day is firstly to have it off WORK, and to spend it with my man on the Myall Lakes near my home - bliss! x
I enjoyed my birthday in April and my favourite part was eating sticky toffee pudding at Schlafly's and spending time with my best friend and my Dad. My dad also got me some gifts from an antique store I like.
I love to go for a picnic on my birthday....to go uphill in beautiful weather and surroundings. But, I love Starbucks too...and it would be a good birthday to stock up there first :-)
You share bday with my DH ..what I do on my bday depends on my mood ...sometime go out lunch, dinner, movie or sometime I just prefer to be at home ...love the giveway ..
What a fun giveaway--LOVE those nail polish colors. I'm a GFC member, of course. Love your blog! Xo, Katie

I became a follower, although you have been in my favs list for awhile. I like minimal birthdays, don't like being the center of attention, I know boo boring but it just shy me!
Lets see, my favorite things to do on my birthday are to wear something that makes me feel amazing, take tons of pictures, make my favorite dinner and spend time with my husband and closest friends. Presto perfect birthday!
I always like simple things on birthdays like small dinners or lunch. By the way, the OPI bubble bath is one of my favorite milky shades as well. It doesn't streak like others and is so wonderful.

I am literally in a panic right now about what to do if I do not win this prize package made in heaven! These items are simply fabulous, what fun!
My favorite thing to do on my birthday is continue the tradition of visiting Cold Stone and ordering a Birthdat Cake Batter shake mmmm. XO

Happy early birthday Mai! How generous of you to give gifts to others on your b-day! I'm new to GFC but I think I did it correctly.
My favorite things to do on my birthday... it used to be eating out at one of my favorite restaurant in the city, etc...but now with 2 kids, I'd be happy if I can sleep in!!! I know it sounds crazy, but I really need sleep! LOL. Hope you have a wonderful birthday Mai. Even though I can't win this, I still want that bubble bath color! Beautiful!
I usually like simple things, like dinner with friends or a relaxing mani/pedi! Of course flowers and chocolates are always nice as well. Thanks for the opportunity! :)
I love to spend my birthday hanging out with my dog and my two younger sisters. I'm always so busy at work that it feels good to just relax and do nothing with them. :)

My favorite thing to do on my birthday would be to take some time alone to go shopping for something I reallly want without the kids, and then have a good dinner with all of my family followed by a yummy cake that I made myself and that my Mother also made me, because no matter what, my mother always makes sure that she bakes me something yummy!

My favorite thing to do on my birthday is go out to a really great restaurant (which usually changes every year) with my family and boyfriend. And I also love to bake my own cake, as long as someone else does the dishes!

I am not picky about my birthday as long as it involves cake, although this year I was busy and had a Panera brownie instead of cake. I still kind of want a piece...
Happy Birthday Month Mai! My favorite thing to do on my Birthday is to have a big dinner with my friends and family. Lots of good food, champagne, and laughing. I've never won a giveway before so I'm keeping my fingers crossed ;-)

Great giveaway! I looove OPI nail polish! I enjoy going out to eat with friends and spending the day getting pampered (manicures!) and going shopping
Happy Birthday to you!
Today is my 26th birthday. I plan on baking myself an Espresso cake from Death by Chocolate. Then Im going to take my $10 World Market certificate that they send every birthday & add something to kitchen. Last year I bought myself a Wok, which I love. Tonight, movies & dinner with the hubby. Then sharing my cake with Dear Husband and my 2 girls for dessert.

My favorite thing to do on my birthday is head to the movies and then have dinner with the family! We always go out to my restaurant pick and then come home and my mom brings out the delicious cake she's made. I love spending it with loved ones. :)

ps so jealous your birthday month is in August. You could totally have a picnic! :)
I love stargazing on the midnight of my birthday. It's usually raining now, so I wasn't able to do that last year.
I love cooking for the people that I love on my bday! For my 22nd birthday I had some friends over and made Moroccan soup. I also went to the zoo- which was a great way to feel like a kid again
I love having dinner with my best friends and sharing bottles of great wine on my birthday! Happy Birthday to you!
Hi! I love your blog! I'm usually away from my family so birthday's are so much more meaningful if i can make it home and just have dinner and good times with my family!
I would just like to be home with my kids (2 and 4) for my birthday, it seems that I always miss all of our summer birthdays due to my excessive work-related travel :( Hoping that changes soon!

I bet you're counting down to your special day, I know I was! I'm a August birthday too (just last week) and can't think of a better gift than to win :) Best thing to do was exactly what I did: grab oysters and champagne and have an endless night of good conversation with good girlfriends!
