Turning TwentyOne

IMG_1388

If youre turning twenty one (21!!) today May 7, 2011, Id like to humbly offer you some advice, as your elder of 9 whopping years.

I know youre not asking for advice. I know Im not an expert at life I just have a few gems I want you to take with you

One: Raw honey and baking soda make a really lovely face scrub. True. Try it!

Two: Eat something green everyday.

Three: Chill out on the Facebook. Seriously. Its not real life.

Four: Learn how to sew something. Anything. At least learn how to sew your buttons back on your shirts.

Five: If your button up shirt is bulging at the boobs wear another shirt. OR, just unbutton that button. Were talking exposed bra. Youll need to wear a necklace or two if youre going to go this route. Youre also going to need to walk tall and own it. and stay away from public transportation.

Six: Make lists on Post-It notes and knock em out, cross em off, get things done.

Seven: Look people in the eye and listen when they speak. Its a nice touch. Its the opposite of Facebook.

Eight: Is your resting face the expression that you have when youre just hanging out watching Real Housewives of Orange County is that face bitchy? Change that. Try not to look bitchy when youre just hanging out.

Nine: Dont drink too much rum ever.

Ten: Dont be one of those girls that carries one of those long, giant cocktail cup around the streets of Las Vegas. It really gives the wrong impression. Youll also have to pee a lot.

Eleven: If a guy is a jerk, hes dead to you. You dont need that bologna. Eat an ice cream cone and move the heck on.

Twelve: Dont do stupid things that relate to booze, boys, nudity, and consequences. Keep it together. Drink more water than boo! ze. Slop py is never cute.

Thirteen: Whats important? Make a list. Honor it.

Fourteen: Pull your hair back and wear pretty earrings. Own it.

Fifteen: Make things for people.

Sixteen: Dont be afraid of being overdressed. Dresses are pretty and heels are awesome. But! If the heels make you walk like a robot go with flats. Know thyself.

Seventeen: Boxes of cold cereal and a carton of milk make a strange and kinda funny hostess gift. Coco Puffs and 2 percent. Try it.

Eighteen: Buy your friends random gifts its just a nice thing to do.

Nineteen: Dont be afraid of looking dumb, asking a stupid question, falling on your face, getting rejected, ripping off your shirt on a crowded street, or being otherwise embarrassed. Well be dead soon.

Twenty: Put it on the Lord. Good. Bad. Pretty. Messy. Put it all on the Lord. Now I know I dont know you like that but Im just sayin.

TwentyOne: Work hard at the thing that you love. Like really hard. Dont let anyone tell you that its dumb. If they do tell you its dumb work harder and prove them wrong. But dont rub it in their face- just be gracious, and wear expensive lipstick, and smile, and keep working.

Happy Birthday Brittany! Happy Birthday! Your friend Kelsey told me about how obsessively you read my blog, and bake my recipes she also told me it was your 21st birthday today. Um. Awesome.

Thank you for being such a loyal reader. I love that you put your eyeballs here everyday. It means a lot to me.

Lets hug.

Happy 21st Birthday!
