"It’s my BIRTHDAY!!!! 55! Woke up today feeling grateful, happier[,] and more aligned than ever," the RHOC cast member shared. "This year I’m leaning in to all of the things that bring me JOY. CHEERS to being one year older [and] one year BOLDER."

Heather Dubrow Reveals Why Her Birthday Was "Almost" Perfect

A few days after her actual birthday, Heather took to Instagram once again to post a carousel of images. In the photos, Heather is wearing a faux fur jacket and Fendi earrings, and she's blowing out the candle on a vanilla cupcake.

"And just like that… my birthday weekend is officially OVER !" she began in the caption of her post.

For her birthday, Heather "Kept it casual [and] lowkey" by getting "dinner with [her] kids and Terry." She noted that she "loved every minute of it," though she was slightly disappointed to not have gotten one of the gifts that she asked for.

"Although — I asked the kids to get me a JC Penny photoshoot of them [(if you know you know)] and they DIDN’T !" Heather jokingly lamented in another part of her caption. "So it was an *ALMOST* perfect birthday. Maybe if enough people told them to do it in the comments it would be enough to force them into it…."
