In celebration of Miranda’s birthday, we zoomed in with our leading lady to talk about her favorite birthday traditions and her plans for the year ahead. 

What are your favorite birthday rituals?

MK: Something I look forward to is breakfast in bed on my birthday… it’s such an indulgence and something I really enjoy! Flynn is so sweet he usually makes me Vegemite on toast and a cup of tea. So cute that this year I’ll be celebrating with Myles (6months) , Hart (23months) Flynn (9yrs), Evan and my Mum.

Favorite birthday memory?

MK: I have a few across the years, but the one that stands out most is when I was pregnant two years ago with Hart and Evan planned a special birthday celebration in our backyard with Flynn. We had a beautiful picnic under the stars. It was so magical and something I’ll never forget!

What are your views on aging?

MK: Age is something that’s inevitable, and our expressions lines are what makes us individual and unique, so while I embrace it, I still like to use products that support the natural ageing process and that protect my skin.

Turning 37, I’m definitely focused on results driven products.  Products that actively work on fine lines and wrinkles, and to help maintain my skins elasticity and firmness.

To address the early signs of ageing, my hero products would be the Noni Glow Face Oil and the Noni Radiant Eye Oil – the eye oil has been specifically formulated to smooth fine lines and soften crow’s feet. I also recently launched two serums, that I use religiously. I use the Kakadu Plum Vitamin C Serum in the morning and the Noni Night AHA Resurfacing Serum at night – both are incredible!

I also like focus on the overall health of my mind, body and skin – so I try to do a daily mediation, exercise regularly, eat lots of fresh organic produce and drink plenty of filtered alkaline water.

How are you celebrating your birthday this year?

MK: This year I’ll be celebrating my birthday in quarantine at home with my husband, children and my Mum who has been here for the last couple of months with us.

I’m so grateful to have her here right now, she was visiting when we went into quarantine so has been staying with us since. It’s been a blessing to have her support during this time, and the children love having their Nonna around!

After breakfast in bed, we’re planning on having a delicious family lunch, followed by cake (mum is baking my favorite chocolate cake), and hopefully a boardgame once Hart and Myles are taking their nap. Flynn is quite competitive so it may be he and I versus my Mum and Evan!

Chocolate or vanilla cake?

MK: My mum will be baking my favorite chocolate cake with fresh raspberries!

See the recipe here.

Favorite party outfit?

MK: Something colorful 

Any party tricks?

MK: Does karaoke count!? It’s the one thing I find everyone enjoys! I will pull out Flynn’s karaoke microphone and have a singalong with the family at some stage!

What is your favorite birthday gift to give?

MK: A handwritten note, with fresh flowers or a framed photo that captures a magical moment. If it’s for family, I love for Flynn to create an artwork, he is such an incredible artist. I also like to gift a lot of the things on my ‘Miranda Loves’ page, such as a special teacup, Rose Quartz infused water bottle, Rose Quartz crystal necklace or any of my KORA products as my friends and family love them!

What is your goal for the year ahead?

MK: To live in the moment. Every day is a precious gift!
