Stress-Free Birthday Fun!

This past weekend marked my twentieth birthday and instead of planning a dinner reservation for fifteen - I had a small, intimate birthday celebration with some of my closest friends.

The perks?

1. I realized that a small group aloud me to be with the people I love and share one conversation with at the table in a much more quieter and meaningful environment. 

2. There is no need for waiting on a table or reservations! 

3. You can take one car or taxi and be spontaneous in your plans with a smaller, more portable group! 

4. There are less people to please, which makes the night go smoother and allows you to appreciate each friend and takes the stress off your shoulders 

5. There is nothing better than being with your closest friend because you will enjoy yourself no matter what you do!

Ideas?

1. Get ready together - It makes everything more fun and there is no waiting on each other involved! 

2. Share clothing - What better way to get a new outfit? There is no cost and your closet just tripled the size! 

3. Listen to your favorite tracks - Music is always a good idea and it gets everyone in a brighter mood! 

4. Share your talents - If one friend is a hair guru, another a makeup genius, and the other is a fashionista, collaborate your talents and help primp each other up! You'll all look flawless with your killer glam squad 

5. Share a glass of wine or champagne - Nothing means celebration more than champagne! And who doesn't love wine? 

6. Go out and let the night be yours.

Valentine's Day Ready

Love it or hate it, today is the day of excessive hearts, candy, chocolate, wine and flowers... but why not celebrate it? I don't have anyone special to celebrate today with this year, but a bunch of girlfriends and I are not letting that stop us from fully enjoying this lovely day. Here are just some ideas and tips for having your best Valentine's day yet, while feeling like a bombshell.

1. Set the mood by playing a V-day play list on spotify

2. Pick out a pair of your favorite heels, they make everything more fun and who doesn't want to feel sexy!

3. Put on your laciest, most expensive piece of lingerie. This will boost your spirits knowing you look to kill underneath it all.

4. Match your heels with a fun and flirty dress - don't let the weather determine what you wear, that's what coats are for!

5. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi, this day calls for pampering.

6. If you haven't seen the sun in a while, get a light spray tan or use a self-tanner or shimmer lotion to achieve the ultimate dewey glow.

7. Try a new up-do or let your locks
down with some soft wavy curls to add volume.

8. Go for subtle yet wowing makeup to pull your look together. Heavy lashes, soft blush an
d lips!

9. Call your girlfriends over for some wine before hitting the town or going to a movie

10. Have fun, your beautiful and this day is just another excuse to dress to the 9s and celebrate! Who doesn't love love?
