Yes, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Does Indulge on Her Birthday — But Not How You'd Think
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' clean eater Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave treats herself on her special day, but she doesn't reach for the go-to birthday treat.

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave might advocate for starting a diet on a holiday, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a birthday treat when her big day rolls around. However, Teddi doesn't indulge smorgasbord-style, filling her big day with several guilty pleasures. Instead, she chooses the one thing that will really make her day — and nope, it's not one of those legendary, Real Housewives-style cakes. (See the clip above!)
In the days leading up to her July 1 birthday, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills accountability coach let her followers in on her birthday craving. Sharing a snap of herself and a few girlfriends mid-celebration, Teddi wrote: "My girls know I would rather have a marg than eat cake."
But wait, how can someone make a big fat birthday wish without any candles? Easy! "They light me a paper straw," Teddi wrote, adding laugh-crying emojis. Genius!

We think Teddi's friend Kyle Richards — who's been known to celebrate her own birthday with a "marg" — would approve.
