[March 2023] Sakura Themed High Tea 🌸

 

Hey angels, how are you doing? I can't believe it's almost December already! Time sure flies when the sun sets at 4PM ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

For my birthday last year my dear friend Kathy and I went to this sakura themed high tea event. It was at a more upscale restaurant inside a hotel so I dressed up a little bit! I went with an 姉ageha vibe so I could feel classy but also sexy at the same time hehe (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

For the makeup I did a glittery pink look to match the restaurant theme ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝♡

The restaurant we went to is called Notch8 and it's located inside the Fairmont Hotel. It's a bit of a "bougie" place because it also has all these designer stores around it inside the hotel.

We got there a bit early so we walked around and checked out some of the stores.

I really liked the displays at Gucci, the theme and colors were so cute!!

Entrance to the restaurant

When it was finally our turn to be seated we were led into the back of the restaurant where they had a special area set up for their high tea. The room was with lots of cherry blossom trees and displays, it was so pretty!! Unfortunately they used overhead spotlights inside so it was very difficult to take good pictures without flash/disrupting other guests.

The special themed menu

All the food came in a cute little tower. I usually enjoy the sweets more but the savory items were my favorite this time around. I'm actually not a big fan of cherries though so that was my bad for not actually reading the menu before booking this lmao ( • ᴖ • ｡)

At the end they gave me a little surprise treat to celebrate my birthday. It was so yummy!

I honestly used to get really upset around my birthday because it always felt like such a chore to organize and plan parties for myself. I always wished that I had friends who threw me surprise parties or made an effort to celebrate me or put me first, without me begging them to. Now that I'm older I've realized that maybe the people I had in my life at that time just weren't supposed to be there, at least not for as long as I had them around. Now I am blessed to have genuine, supportive, and kind people around me who aren't afraid to reciprocate my love.

I didn't know it then when I was taking these pictures, but my life was going to change drastically in just a few months' time and although it was an incredibly painful and difficult journey, I am grateful to be where I am now & to have the people I do around me.

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading today! See you in the next post~ ( *¯ ³¯*)♡
