Beauty & Essex

 

Our weekend in NYC was a whirlwind. You already know. I think that's the best part of our friendship. Even though our lives are crazy busy, we always have time for each other.

Scraping by after 2 nights in a row of 3 hours of sleep, we knew we had to get full on glam to survive the evening before us. Upon a friend's recommendation, we made an appearance at Beauty & Essex. After being ushered in, we made our way up the winding staircase to where it was going down. It was completely packed, but we were clearly dressed to impress, for once we had grabbed our drinks, we were offered V.I.P. seating. No complaints here!

The majority of the evening we were our own entertainment as we were becoming delirious with exhaustion. din even claimed that she aided in a nearby couples' soon-to-be-someday "happily ever after". I guess we shall see!

Before heading out, we decided to dance to just one song. I mean, what's a birthday celebration without a dance?! To my surprise, din requested the DJ play 50 Cent "In Da Club". Next thing I know, both she and the DJ are smiling as din starts singing "Go shawty, it's yo birthday!" What followed next was an entire playlist of hits from our highschool years. We clearly weren't the only 30 somethings there because everyone was feelin' the music!

Thanks for making my birthday weekend perfect din! I wouldn't have had it any other way...well...maybe just a bit more sleep!
