The 30 Things I Have Learned Being 29 Again!  

Happy birthday to me! My birthday was yesterday! But I have been vacationing in Vieques, PR (my trip recap will be on the blog soon). As I am celebrating another birthday, and I couldn’t be in a happier place.  I have a great fiancé who is one of the best humans I have ever come across.  I have friends who love me. My business is doing great.  I just lost another 10 pounds.  My skin and I have been on the same page lately. And overall, I like who I am as a person.  I am completely in love with myself, and I couldn’t be happier and more proud of the woman that I am becoming.

There are a few things that have gotten me through life and has shaped me as a person.  I take pride in living my life by my rules and removing anyone and anything that is negative.  Below are a few life lessons I have learned throughout the years.

Dating

1. Don’t stress about men. They always call.
2. How you start out is how you end up.
3. When you have your own money you date differently.
4. You are not going to find your soul mate on the couch watching Netflix.  Throw on some red lipstick, a little black dress, some heels, and go mingle!
5. In order for you to have someone who loves you the way you want and deserve to be loved, you must love yourself.

Beauty 

1. White teeth matter. Your smile is everything. Make sure those teeth are white.
2. Clear skin matters. The better your skin, the better your makeup appears
3. Having a big butt isn’t everything. Just make sure your stomach is flat and you’re in shape, and you will be just fine.
4. You don’t have to have the most expensive garments. But they do need to be clean, pressed, and fit you appropriately.
5. Self Love Is The Best Love. And everyone can see when you love yourself.

Friendship 

1. It is totally okay to outgrow people.  Everyone cannot come with you.
2. Treat people how you want to be treated.
3. Keep people around you who will be honest with you at all times.
4. Make sure you have someone in your life who genuinely loves you and wants you to win.
5. It’s totally okay to make new friends and meet new people. Your network is your networth.

Life 

1. When people do not like you, that’s not your problem. Let them waste their energy on you while you move forward on your journey of success. I mean, unless you’re just an awful person. Joking!
2. Do what makes you happy. It’s totally okay to be showered with grace and blessings.
3. Travel whenever you can. There is nothing like a fantastic adventure.
4. Live within your means. “Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people that they don’t like.” –Will Rogers
5. What’s meant for you will not miss you.  What misses you isn’t meant for you.
