How To Create a Magical Birthday Ritual—Just for You
My Birthday Ritual: Celebrating Myself
For a long time, my birthdays weren’t celebrated the way I had hoped. Sometimes, they felt like just another day, and I’d often find myself being the only one who remembered or acknowledged them. It was a lonely feeling, but instead of dwelling on it, I decided to change the narrative. I decided to start celebrating myself, because if anyone deserved a special day, it was me.
Now, my birthday is my favorite time of the year, and I’ve created a beautiful ritual to honor it. Here’s a glimpse into how I celebrate my special day and make it unforgettable.

We respect your privacyThe Build-Up: Decorating My Space
A week or two before my birthday, I begin preparing. I start decorating my house as if I’m throwing a party for the most important person—me! Balloons, flowers, and happy birthday signs fill the space, transforming it into a joyful and festive environment. It’s not just about the decor; it’s about setting the tone for the love and appreciation I want to feel.
I do this for my kids’ birthdays too, but for mine, it feels extra special. Seeing the house lit up with decorations reminds me that I’m worthy of celebration, even if it’s just for myself.
The Morning: Cleansing & Reflecting
The morning of my birthday starts with a deep cleanse—both for my home and my spirit. I wake up early, light a candle, and clean my house. A refreshed space feels like a blank slate, ready to welcome the new year of my life.
Next, I do my skincare ritual with my beloved Riman K-Beauty products. There’s something so empowering about glowing on your special day, and these products help me feel radiant and confident.
I also take time to journal, expressing gratitude for the past year and setting intentions for the one ahead. It’s a moment of peace and reflection, grounding me for the day’s celebrations.
A Birthday Reading
One of my favorite parts of my ritual is getting a birthday reading. It’s my way of checking in with myself and the universe. The reading helps me reflect on my journey, identify what needs my attention, and align with my purpose for the year ahead. It’s a spiritual reset that gives me clarity and direction.
Connecting with Nature
Nature plays a big role in my birthday ritual. This year, I took a walk on the beach with my kids and grandmother. Even though it was cold, the beauty of the day warmed my heart. There’s something so healing about the ocean—its vastness reminds me of the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
Rooftops & Sunsets
I love rooftops and sunsets, so this year I got dressed up and headed to the rooftop at the Beacon with a friend. Watching the sun set over the city, drink in hand, was magical. It was a moment to just breathe, be present, and soak in the beauty around me.
Family Dinner
The evening ended with dinner at Jackson’s with my family. My mom and daughter drove down from Miami to celebrate with me, and we shared a delicious meal together. Moments like these remind me how lucky I am to have the love and support of my family.
The Weekend Festivities
The celebration didn’t end there. On Saturday, we continued the fun at the Gasparilla Parade. We dressed up as pirates and enjoyed the lively atmosphere. I’m so grateful to my friends who joined me and made the day so memorable.
On Sunday, I hosted a dinner at home for my mom and kids. We sang happy birthday, and it was the perfect ending to my birthday weekend. I felt so loved and appreciated, not just by others, but by myself as well.
Releasing My Book
This year, my birthday was extra special because it marked the release of my book, Find Your Inner Goddess. Sharing my journey and empowering other women has been a dream come true, and there was no better day to launch it than on my birthday. Releasing the book was a reminder of how far I’ve come and how much I have to celebrate.
Why This Ritual Matters
Over the years, I’ve learned that waiting for others to celebrate you isn’t always the best plan. Celebrating yourself is an act of self-love. My birthday ritual is my way of honoring my journey, expressing gratitude for the life I’ve built, and setting the stage for the year ahead.
