Bite Size Birthday Cheesecakes

It’s here! The day you’ve all been waiting for…my birthday. I knew you couldn’t wait, I knew you counted down the days, and I’m here to remind you that it’s official – I am 33 and thriving. I’ve always heard from people that your 30s are awesome and boy are they right. Your 20s are about getting by, floundering as you try to figure out who you are and what you want out of life. Your 30s are for self-acceptance, self-expression, and self-reliance. At least they are for me! As I enter the first few years of my 30s, I feel so much more comfortable in my skin, so much happier in my day-to-day life, and so much more optimistic for the future. In my 20s, I really obsessed over the negativity that I saw in the world, but my 30s have become about seeing the kindness in others, the love that surrounds us everywhere we go, and the goodness in human beings. Life has become much more beautiful in my 30s and I’m really grateful to be at this new stage in life.

Today I have plans that mostly involve food. First I’ll be working out since working out is one of my favorite things I could do for myself. Then it’s on to my favorite bakery in town, Rivers and Roads, for the best breakfast sandwich of all time. Then I have some stories to film for a brand and I want to film reels in my latest Four Athletics x PaleOMG Activewear since tomorrow is the last day to get your hands on this collection. Then it’s out to dinner at one of my latest favorite Mexican restaurants. It’s going to be a good day – a little bit of sweat, a little bit of work, and a lot bit of food. Just the way I like it.

It may not be your birthday today, but I bet you’re still going to love these cheesecakes. No birthday needed to make them. They are easier than a full cheesecake and they are bite size, which makes them more fun. You could easily bring these to a party or special event, or just keep them in the fridge for a Wednesday afternoon. I don’t know what you do with your life, but I support it all if it involves a bite size cheesecake. Well I would love to stay and chat, but I have some self tanner to shower off today and special day to conquer. Now all I need is the snow to melt and it would be an absolutely perfect day.
