It’s happening! Today I am 28! What?! Yup, it’s my birthday! Not only am I turning the page on another year of celebrating life, but also a whole new chapter along with it!! Turning 28 comes with some really big milestones for me. My first blog post (duh) being one of them! It’s a little scary but a whole lot of thrilling all wrapped into one. I am so glad I get to share this moment with all of you!
Starting a blog was something I have been toying with for quite sometime, but I never acted on it. I never knew where to actually start, and I was worried what people were going to think. But that is just the thing. I was worried about what others would think, and that was keeping me from pursuing something that could be really awesome. So, what changed? A big mind shift!
The last 6 months have really shaped me into the person I am now. I dealt with some tough stuff. I literally hit rock bottom, and most of it was from being my own worst enemy. I now see where my faults laid. But what felt like the ultimate breaking point for me, turned out to be the best thing in the world! I really started to focus on my needs and stopped worrying about those around me. And soon, I started to flourish mentally. Smiling all the time, being cheerful effortlessly and genuinely. Just being back to the old me, the girl I thought I had lost so long ago. It gave me courage to start my blog, Smile Darling.
But enough of the sappy details, this is an exciting time and another milestone. This year I am celebrating all my personal accomplishments. I am celebrating all the people in my life who love me and stood by me. Life can be crazy and messy at times, but I feel tremendously positive about this new age of 28. I am thrilled to start Smile Darling, and I hope I am able to connect with you all through the trends I share, beauty products and all the little in betweens!
Cheers to TWENTY GREIGHT!
