Pink Sparkles

Well, they are finally gone.  I will never get them back again.  My twenties.  I decided not to be sad about turning the big 3-0 ... I was actually really excited and I still am!  I'm looking forward to this new chapter in my life.  Everyone always told me that when you wake up on your 30th Birthday, you feel different and your entire outlook on life changes.  Yea, that didn't happen.   I thought maybe when I turn 30, I would be more outgoing and I would quit caring about what people think of me (because I am notorious for worrying about that).  The thing that DID happen was that I accept myself more and I accept the fact that no matter what, I am NOT outgoing!  I love to get out and do things, but I am the girl in the corner who is quiet!  I'm not a snob - I am not stuck-up - I just don't say anything unless I have something specific to say.  I am HORRIBLE at small talk and I like to think of myself as socially awkward!  I've always hated that about myself but

H54F

It feels like it's been forever...and a day...since I've blogged.  I haven't even looked at my blog in over a month.  Poor, little, sad blog.  Sometimes a girl needs a blog break, right?  Right.  I decided to finally "check out" my blog today...May 31st was my last post .  Almost TWO months.  Enough blog break already!!  I figured my last post was a High Five for Friday so what better than to do a H54F as my "come back" post.   Looking back at my last post, it really made me realize how much blogging truly keeps me reliable for certain things in life...eating health, baking some not-so-healthy treats , trying new beauty products , keeping my nails in tip top shape, and taking random pictures with my phone.  So, I think I'm over my bloggy break and excited to get back at it!  I plan on getting a new blog design and I'm a little nervous about that.  That would require making a decision...and if you read this post , you know how much I loathe
