Today is my 26th birthday. That is kind of scary. I actually don't mind getting older, but how fast time goes by these days is scary. I remember being little and a year felt like the equivalent of what 4 years feels like now. A year now feels like the equivalent of 6 months. Does that make any sense? I haven't even had any birthday drinks yet, and I'm blabbering away!
As I said I don't mind getting older. The older I get the more I am coming into my own. I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my skin, and the things in life that used to terrify me don't bother me as much. So, I can't complain. I'm sure there so many people in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and so forth who want to slap people in their 20's for complaining about getting old. Puh-lease. 20's is not old!
Here is my birthday mani!
This was a layering experiment. It is 1 coat Orly Androgynie, 2 coats Butter London The Black Knight, 1 coat Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing, and finally 1 coat of Hits Phenomena Afterglow.
This is so awesome! I need to layer glitters more, you can really come up with some neat results!
I don't have really any big birthday plans. I think a nice dinner, cake, and some shopping will be in the cards. My boyfriend has made it a tradition every year to bake me a cake. He's not a baker or anything, but they're always delicious and it's sweet of him to do it.
Yay! Happy Birthday to me! I normally wouldn't be all like "yay me!" and stuff, but it's my birthday I give myself permission to be a little selfish. It's allowed on your birthday...right? :P
Happy Thursday!
Happy birthday Stephanie!!! I knew there was a reason I liked you so much! We're both Cancers :) More often than not, I find that the bloggers I "LOVE" are the same sign to0- coincidence? That being said, I absolutely love your layering combo! Very cool and I love the depth of it all! I remember when I turned 26, I kept using the phrase "mid 20's" and it would kinda freak me out. I don't mind getting older either, but it is strange how our perception of time changes over the years!
ReplyDeleteI hope your birthday is fantastic!
Happy birthday, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Stephanie!!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable that your boyfriend bakes for you! And shopping is a birthday tradition in my mind! Don't forget to pick up your Sephora gift if you're a Beauty Insider - its a good one this year!
Have a wonderful day and year to come :)
Hi Maribeth! I am also a Cancer blogger, never noticed it before but as I read your comment I thought of some of my faves and they are also July girls! What an odd coincidence!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday--you young whippersnapper ;) At 26 I was mom to a 1 yr old. Now I'm 42. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE your mani! I am too timid when it comes to layering--something I need to work on. I have to keep reminding myself it's just nailpolish and I can do it over if I don't like it lol. You did a fabulous job!!
I hope you totally spoiled yourself--even at my old age (lol) I do that every year. I think it's a law or something ;) xoxo
Kinda late, but Happy Birthday Stephanie! Hope you had a wonderful day. Love the bday mani.
