Emma Watson reflects on achievements, failures of life as actress turns 30

Emma Watson reminisced over the year gone by in a heartfelt note on her birthday.

The Harry Potter icon took to Instagram to share various updates about her life following her 33rd birthday on April 15. 

She revealed that she dabbled in surfing, but that did not suit her in particular. She had better luck with equestrian species, and horse riding was fun.

The star expressed satisfaction with therapeutic treatments as well as adopting a canine, Sophia, with which she had particularly joyous moments.

She also told her fans what most knew; the shooting of a Harry Potter reunion as well as bidding farewell to her ailing grandparents.

Emma, who has a long history of advocacy for women's rights and gender equality, also announced the beginning of a women's environmental investment fund.

The actress also played golf and her friends learned the sport as well. 

On a personal and more intimate note, she recalled the folly of clipping her nail off and being forced to do things with one hand for a while.

Furthermore, the British actor remarked that she has learned more about love and being a woman. With mindfulness, it has taken her three years but now she has been able to keep a daily practice for more than a few days in a row.

Lastly, the Hollywood actress stated that she has donned the directorial cap and is currently fangirling over Squarespace sites, a hobby of sorts.

On such a detailed and personal note, one only wishes well for her more. Happy birthday to Emma for completing more than three decades around the sun.
