Well, what do you know… another year has gone by in a flash. I used to dread the stress and pressure surrounding my birthdays. Do I throw a big extravanganza of a bash or keep it an intimate affair with a select group of those closest to me? Over the years, I’ve learned how to keep things simple and streamlined. So this year, Rumi, Julie, Queenie and I kicked off my pre-birthday night with drinks at Nobu Malibu followed by an intimate dinner at Moonshadows. Sometimes it’s the quietest birthdays that are the most meaningful. There’s really nothing quite like spending your birthday surrounded by the people closest to your heart.
