BIRTHDAY BLOOM

August is full of celebrations: my birthday - which as I grow older and wiser holds 
less meaning than it did in my adolescence - and our wedding anniversary - which 
excites me to date because it's the day Manjot and I officiated our union. The main 
prerequisite, like many other days of celebrations, is a day full of Manjot, irrespective 
of whether there's a scheduled date night planned or not (in case you, my husband, are 
reading this, you better have a date scheduled regardless. I apologize for my mood ;)). 

This year, my birthday was a bit different as it was amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In 
August, the Provincial Health Guidelines had allowed for indoor dining and the rules 
surrounding the lockdown were a bit relaxed. We hadn't visited downtown for a few 
months, at least since the initial lockdown news of COVID-19, which in BC was in
approximately March 2020. So, Manjot and I decided to take advantage of the relaxed 
rules coupled with beautiful weather and decided on an early evening drive and dinner 
date by the beach Downtown. And, it was all stunning. 

We made a quick stop (Manjot would most probably say otherwise) to capture some 
outfit photos. I think this marks a few years since I have opted for either an all-white 
outfit or at least one prominent piece (top or bottom) in white. The top arrived just 
in time for my birthday. I quickly unwrapped it to try it on & instantly fell in love with 
the sweetheart neckline & the puffed sleeves. Manjot also approved so it had to be worn. 

We were very happy with the quick photoshoot and how the pictures turned out. What
followed was a sunset dinner at English Bay and a walk around the beach. So many
blessings to count and so much to be thankful for. Feeling thankful, grateful & blessed!

I hope you're also keeping well and taking the time to stop and smell the roses. The 
pandemic is a tough time so it's important we continue keeping our mental health in 
check and don't think twice to seek help and guidance should we need it.

Love,

M.S.G.
