My birthday is just around the corner—February 1st. It feels like a small day, hidden in the coldest month of the year. Growing up, I always feel little jealous of kids with summer birthdays—so much sunshine and watermelon and outdoorsy fun. Mine always feel quieter, with school mid-terms or tests coming close, and sometimes it feels like mix of celebration and stress. My mom used to tell me it’s the best season for strawberries. I like strawberries, but they not my favorite. (she nice though, isn't she?)
Now, I feel there’s something tender about being a winter baby. I have excuse to enjoy comfort food (though my Korean food craving has to wait because of my current goals). There are some things coming up that I want to try for the first time, and that's why I'm working on losing a little weight right now. It’s so hard to get rid of the last 2kg from my holiday weight, after enjoying all the delicious New Year’s foods. Today, I’ve been wearing a corset all day, hoping to work toward a smaller waist—it’s a challenge, but I’m determined!
For my birthday this year, I made a small wishlist if anyone feel like celebrating with me. You can check it at Para.co/rikakodesu. I like gifts that feel special but also bring happiness in simple ways.
Here are some ideas from my list:
Beautiful silk lingerie – Something soft and feminine, to feel elegant always.
Jimmy Choo bag – I think every girl needs a dream bag, no?
A box of chocolate – Sweet little moments to share or keep for myself.
Bath oil – For cozy, relaxing nights at home.
Thank you for sharing this little winter moment with me. It makes everything feel more special knowing I can share it with people who care. 💕 And if you feel inspired to spoil me, honestly I will melt, and it's the way to my heart🌸
