Hi Pretties!

Today is the day, I am finally 24 years old, and no I don't feel different. It might have something to do with the fact that I still had to get up at 6:00 am for work and this lovely cold I'm nursing. But that's enough complaining! I've already received so much love today and it's barely even begun. I'm sure the day will only get better and better!


I thought that I would share some of the things that I've learned over the past 23 years, you know since I'm so much older and wiser now.

24 things I've learned by the age 24:

one. My Mom will always be my best friend.


two. Dogs are better than cats.


three. Wearing black makes you look skinnier.


four. Very few friends will stick around for the long haul, but the ones that do are the most important.


five. Always have a lock on your iPhone. {Laugh away Juliette and Tiff}


six. Never have naked nails.


seven. Don't wear a very short and strapless dress on your birthday! {Thank you 20th birthday for that reminder}


eight. Orange is a great color, especially when paired with black or navy.


nine. Colorado is not as bad as I like to pretend it is.


ten. Family is more important than anything else.


eleven. Gavin DeGraw will always have my music loving heart.

PS. If you want to harass him on Twitter and tell him he needs to wish me a happy birthday.. I wouldn't hate it ;)


twelve. Sarcasm is my second language.. and my defense mechanism.


thirteen. A good hair day can really change your whole outlook!


fourteen. Tequila is a bad choice.


fifteen. College is infinitely more fun than anything in the real world.


sixteen. The closet is the most important room in the house.


seventeen. There is very little that wine, Mexican food, or ice cream can't fix.


eighteen. Holding grudges is a waste of time.. and ain't nobody got time for it.



nineteen. Laugh as much as possible. It's impossible to be mad, sad, or annoyed when you're laughing.


twenty. Travel and see the world, if you don't you'll regret it.


twenty one. Mean Girls is the best movie ever and quoting it will never get old!


twenty two. Don't ever settle in life. Always be looking for the next opportunity to be better.


twenty three. Starting a blog will always be one of my better decisions!


twenty four. As it turns out, I don't really know everything about everything. Who would have thought?


I hope you guys have a great day! I'm off to get through the rest of my workday so I can go celebrate!

Thanks again for all the wishes, y'all are really the best! xoxo
