How to Celebrate Your Birthday in Style!

I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY! I’m generally a big kid about it. I enjoy counting down and then celebrating for the whole month. Which kind of happens by default anyway right, because you have to celebrate with family, and then this group of friends, and that group of friends, and before you know it, you’ve been celebrating all month long, and it’s awesome. The way I see it until you get a bonus day to celebrate yourself, like mother’s day, or father’s day, or an anniversary, all you have is yourself! My philosophy goes like this, every day that I wake up is a gift, so you bet I’m going to celebrate another year of life and be grateful for the people I have to celebrate with.

So for years now, I’ve been signing up for restaurant email clubs to get awesome birthday freebies. When my inbox gets flooded with free desserts, free appetizers, free meals, and more the mission starts to see how many I can redeem. It’s a great way to get to new places, and try more than you normally would, and who doesn’t love FREE stuff?!

Now that I’m blogging, I thought it would be a great opportunity to seize the moment and pass along the 411 on how YOU can get on the free birthday swag train too. Hop aboard and enjoy the ride!
