It's Always A Great Day For A Birthday

As we get older, birthdays aren't as special anymore, but this year my family and friend made it a memorable one.

Today I celebrated my nineteenth birthday with some of the greatest people I have in my life. I am so blessed to have so many people that I know will make my day special for me. Through thick and thin I know that they will always be by my side. Here are all my favorite things I got to do for my birthday!

It is always great when you get what you asked for.

For my birthday from my boyfriend I was given a (much needed) new pillow, a home-made strawberry candle, home-made wax cube melts, and beautiful jewellery. Lets just say that I am pretty excited about my new pillow... I feel like I am getting old! I also was given a beautiful necklace and matching earrings from my boyfriends parents along with the Alice and Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass eyeshadow pallet from my sister. I am absolutely so excited to try it out! From my mom I was given a huge makeup box to keep my huge collection of makeup and from one of my best friends I was given a travel makeup bag and a whole bunch of new makeup and perfume! From my other best friend she painted me a beautiful painting of us under a purple willow tree. Also all of the cards that I have gotten from my family. It all means so much to me.



All the sweet and loving words from family and friends.

All day today my phone has been blowing up with so many notifications from my family and friends wishing me a happy birthday, sending their loving, wishing me a great day and an even better year to come. A majority of all of my birthday wishes came from my friends and family on Facebook. All my other birthday wishes came through loving texts and calls to sing me happy birthday! I beyond grateful for all of my loving family and friends.

Getting to do whatever I want!!!!

Today for my birthday I chose to have lunch at Chilli's with my amazing mom, sister, niece, boyfriend and my best friend (and the mother of my future goddaughter.) After we went to Chilli's my boyfriend and I took my four year old niece to Build-a-Bear since her birthday is seven days away from mine. All three of us made our own stuffed animal. My niece made a Peppa Pig, my boyfriend made a Superman Bear and I made a Donut Bear. We got to stuff them and make a wish and give them a heart. Then we named them then the next step was to print out a birth certificate (which means all of our animals have my birthday.) My bears name is Pixie, my boyfriend bear is named Smokey and my nieces pig was named Pinkie Pie. Then we all came home and sang happy birthday! This has been such a great birthday. I would not have wanted it any other way.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
