Cheers to another beautiful year around the sun. Thank you for all my blessings, the roof over my head, good health for my family and I, a heart full of warmth and a household filled with laughter. 45 is awesome. Lunch at North Italia, followed by a drive to Malibu for Milkshakes. Then an evening with Jatin, quick dinner at Tulsi followed by a movie (Piece by Piece – Pharell’s lego biography).
Nick and I took the day off to celebrate my 43rd Birthday! We went to Manhattan Beach for a lovely bike ride followed by lunch at the strand and shopping. In the evening I saw mommy and daddy for tea and then the kiddos and Nick and I had dinner and strawberry shortcake from Whole Foods at home. Fun, Blessed, Fresh Air and Surrounded by Loved Ones all day. A perfect Birthday.
42 here we are!! Neeru sent beautiful flowers that arrived Sunday night! Birthday fell on a Monday this year. Worked a bit but took the majority of the day to have fun 🤩 Lunched at Nordstrom Cafe with Nick. Kids and Nick showered me with lovely cards and mango cake and then Nick and I headed off to Yamashiro in Hollywood! Nick also surprised me with a Romero Britto / Puma limited edition sweatshirt. It was very windy and cloudy on the way to dinner so the views were not as clear as they should have been but it was still a lovely night out. Tuesday morning I continued the celebration with a lovely breakfast with Mommy and Daddy and on Thursday we had dinner at Joeys with mommy and daddy. To top it off I got to pick out stunning diamond hoops!!! #luckiestgirlever #lovemyfamily #lifeisbeautiful #blessed
During Quarantine we’ve been looking through old photo albums and found one of my school pictures from 1989. When we looked at it couldn’t help but immediately see Jatin in the picture! He was a good sport and let me photograph him for his “quarantine school photo” and make a comparison.
I’ve been celebrating my 40th all month long! The actual day fell on the Friday we were traveling in Idaho and there were wild fires back home so that was a crazy weekend! After that I was greeted home with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers designed by mommy of course and balloons! Then Nick brought home my favorite carrot cake from Stone Fire Grill. Later in the month Geeta, Devi and Shriya treated me to a lovely dinner at Cheesecake Factory and then we closed our the celebrations with a beautiful intimate dinner with mommy and daddy at firefly in studio city! I’m a lucky girl. Feeling very special and blessed. Here’s to 40 and the next 40 being even better than the first!! Cheers!
I had a GREAT birthday weekend! Mommy and Daddy thank you for watching the babies for an evening so Nick and I could enjoy ourselves in beautiful Santa Monica! Enjoyed the beach, bike rides from Santa Monica to Marina Del Rey and then the next morning to Pacific Palisades. Had an awesome weekend all around. Very blessed and thankful for all that I have! 35 my goodness!!!
I had so much fun yesterday at our offices. We worked with the wonderful team at Sunwest Video to shoot a video teaser to help explain to our clients who we are, what we do and why they should choose us! We had a blast! Some of my favorite snapshots included below.
Okay! So over the years I have been asked all about my crafts, ideas for decorating my home, creative ways to decorate for dinner parties, etc… I have my corporate site (Design By Vani) which focuses more on DESIGN & CREATIVITY for businesses, but now it’s time to launch and showcase the personal side of design and how it ads creativity, fun, and happiness into my life! I will cover all things creative in my life including: entertaining, arts and crafts, fashion, food, and all things related to kiddos!
I hope you enjoy the crafts, photos and stories I will share at http://www.artsyvani.com. Here’s to 2012 marking a very ambitious, creative, successful, artsy year! – Vani
