a week after my actual birthday we had a little afternoon drink with some friends at our place. didn’t have the energy to cook so we just had some snacks. do you recognise that pink dip ? it’s my pickled beet root dip, and i made it with homemade soyghurt this time, impressive huh. i posted a recipe for it a few days ago, so bloody yum !

although this was a minimum effort kind of party, it does look nice right ?

my boyfriend david can never just wait for the guests before digging in. it’s hopeless trying to take pics with him in the kitchen, with his hand showing up in half of the photos. like such a kid !

we made use of the gorgeous new glass jars david got me, as makeshift punchbowls (although forgot to take a photo with some actual punch in them). i’m like completely in love with them. i’ve started using the smaller one i got as a smoothie container in the fridge, just making a huge batch of smoothie in the morning and keep the leftover for later.

we were really late preparing, but so was all our guests. so i got bored and took some selfies like always.

david sneaking in, stealing a kiss. cheeky bastard.

got some lovely flowers.

one of my favourite things about throwing a party is all the leftovers you get to eat the day after. we spent our rainy sunday being completely lazy just watching films and munching on all those yummy snacks. just had to take a pic of all the fruit we had. not too shabby a sunday if you ask me.

i hope your weekend was as good as mine. this whole turning 30 business is turning out to be quite a sweet deal.

love // jenny

ETC : birthday celebration (again)
