“If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely”

-Roald Dahl

Happy Friday!! Extra emphasis on the exclamation point because tomorrow is my birthday!! I am turning 34…… wow. I keep forgetting my age as I still think I am in my late 20’s. Crazy to think that I am this old. However I did get carded last weekend at a restaurant because the waitress thought I was under 21…. I can’t complain, not too shabby for ole Mags. Anyway, my life is completely different than I ever thought it would be at this age. If you had asked me when I was younger, and even in college, where I would be at 34 I would say: married, 2-3 kids, probably a stay-at-home mom or a dance teacher, living in my hometown. And there is nothing wrong with that scenario. I would definitely be happy in that scenario. But God had other plans for me. Instead I am childless, not married, living in NYC, and owning my own business. I have to count my blessing but I do get upset sometimes as I do want to get married and have kids. I then have to remind myself to have patience, when God decides it is my time it will happen for me. Instead I am choosing to enjoy my life, cherish who is in my life and the moments I have with people I love, enjoy my successes and failures, enjoy this time I have here in New York (if for some reason I ever decide to leave). Enjoy what God has given me, because I do live a pretty blessed life, not perfect, but blessed. Nevertheless I am still going to celebrate my birthday– I am a carpe diem; eat ice cream and drink champagne all day type of birthday gal. I do not need a big blow out, just firmly believe in treat yourself on your birthday!

After falling in love with this mini dress, I knew I had to have it in the midi version. I already loved the fit and it would be nice to have a longer skirt length for when the fall approaches. Over the weekend I wore it to my birthday dinner (early celebration) with my parents at RH Rooftop restaurant. It’s comfortable and easy to throw on while still looking put together. It was the perfect dress to wear to my birthday dinner as it’s has a casual feel to it, yet still holds an elevated look.

Happy Friday! It’s a good day because Taylor Swift dropped her new song “Lover” and it is so good! I currently have it on repeat. But besides Tay Tay dropping this amazing jam, my parents are in town this weekend to celebrate my birthday! My actual birthday is not until next week, but my parents have a wedding to attend on the day of my birthday so could not be here to celebrate. My sister, however, will be in town next week to celebrate! I am excited for two full weekends of family time!

“fear and insecurity will always try to talk us into settling for lesser things”

-Bob Goff

Happy Friday!! This week was… well.. in the wise words of Urkel “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”. I hurt my back Sunday morning and have been dealing with it ever since. This is the second time in a little over a month that I have had back issues… welcome to your 30’s.
