My Life as a 27 Year Old

"Welcome to Old.  Get Comfortable"

-My Older Cousin

"The obstacles you face may be huge but you have what it takes to overcome every last one of them.  Never doubt that you were born to be special. Never doubt that you will succeed. 

 See whatever fate sends your way as a gift to be used"

-Virgo Horoscope

How are the years zooming by soooo quickly?!?

Today I am 28 (and only 2 years away from my scary age).

Birthday's have always been a mixed feeling day for me~ I tend to love them or hate them.

Whatever feeling I'm having (this year is pretty good), it's always a day for me to think back on my life and see where I am now.

Here are some of the experiences I've had and the lessons I've learned (hopefully) during my 27th year on earth.

What Your Lipstick Says About You

I love taking "personality tests". 
A fun one is the Lipstick Personality Test.

I don't even really wear lipstick, but I'm a perfectionist and I like keeping my lipstick the way it comes (aka the "Slant").  I don't think that I fit completely into the personality type (especially the abiding by the rules part!), but I guess I can see the other aspects being true...
I think I'm more of a "Sharp-Angled Tip" or "Concave" " girl ... but who knows~
 
Either way, it's a fun little test. Read on to find out what your lipstick can say about you!
 

Beauty and the Beach

"Ah, Summer, What power you have to make us suffer and like it"

-Russel Baker

Summer has flown by and it seems that Fall is right behind.
This summer, I haven't been able to swim or go to the beach.... until now~
I'm at the Hamptons and it is absolutely fabulous.

Have you been to the beach this summer?  If you haven't, I highly suggest you go asap.
The sand between your toes, the sun on your skin, the ocean breeze, the waves... it's oh so wonderful!

Here are my recommendations of things to bring to the beach.

Love the Brush from Brushlove

I was given the opportunity to try out some brushes from Brushlab at http://brushlove.com/

I received a Finishing Brush and Blow Drying Brush.

Pronto Ionic Nylon Bristle Hair Brush 33451  

This is a great brush for everyday.  It detangles, smoothes, and gives a light massage to the scalp.

It's a pretty large brush head, so you can run it through all your hair in a few swipes.

It feels really good and gives a nice little scalp massage (which makes me feel like my hair will grow faster~)

Static resistant hair brush creates negatives ions for smoother, healthier hair.
 Retail Price: $9.98
