Happy Monday, babes! So with tomorrow being my birthday and my two year wedding anniversary, today is my last day as a 26 year old! Naturally, it’s been a year of serious growing and learning as an individual, wife, friend, daughter, sister, career woman and everything else I have to be in between. I can truly look at those roles and know I’m a different and better person, even if it’s only slightly, in each of those titles. I thought I’d share some of the biggest, and sometimes the toughest lessons for me:
– Skincare, anti-ageing routines and make-up free days for your skin to breathe are more important than a forever-snatched face.
– Self love just grows and grows as you get older! It’s not even a matter of “I just got used to my life”, but a real sense of unconditional love for all I am. It’s great feeling insecurities leave and making peace with yourself.
– Saving your money really does wonders.
– Having the last word or a cool comeback isn’t important.
– Taking care of my health is much more important than a career.
– I’ve become even better at saying ‘no’.
– I’m making a point to give those who love me more than most a little extra TLC. It’s human nature to focus on what or who we can’t have as much as we would like, but I’m determined to change that. I have some amazing people in my life, and I never want them to doubt my love and admiration.
– It’s okay to miss someone for a long time after you’ve severed ties with them, as long as you know missing them or even forgiveness is not a good enough reason to welcome them back.
– Don’t stress about the drama it may cause when you press that unfollow button or physically distance yourself from someone. Sooner or later they won’t be in your life anyway.
ANYWAY, ENOUGH DEEP TALK. I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE ONLY HERE FOR THE GIVEAWAY!
And that’s okay, do you boo, but find sometime to humour my emo vibes from time to time too? This is the first of a few birthday month giveaways – I really just want to say thanks for always supporting me and showing me such mad love! It means everything.
