An Open Letter To My Broken-Hearted Best Friend

Just some things I want you to know...

An Open Letter To My Broken-Hearted Best Friend

Hey babes,

I know you're struggling right now, trying your best to smile through the recent heartbreak you've just experienced. As tough as you are, I just wanted to share some things with you to hopefully help during this obstacle in your life.

1. I want you to know that you are loved. Maybe it isn't from the person that you want it to be from right now, but I promise you there are more people out there waiting to welcome you with open arms. Me included, Hun.

2. It took me a while to learn that just because people don't love you in the way that you want, doesn't mean that they don't love you at all. That being said, I hope you never settle for mediocre treatment from someone who makes you question your worth. I know sometimes you feel a little rough around the edges and weird- but that's the BEST part about you. One day someone is going to appreciate the way that you have to have three fans on you when you sleep or the fact that you can only eat M&M's in even numbers. A relationship with someone — whether it be from a lover, friends, or family- is meant to build you up, not bring your spirits down.

3. I want you to know that as cheesy as it sounds, it's true when people say "everything happens for a reason". You may not see the reason now, you may not see it next month- but one day you will. One day you'll be sitting there on a beach with a margarita in one hand, your husband's hand in the other, and a smile on your face and it'll all click at once. It'll suddenly make sense why all of this hurt you're going through now had to happen for your happiness to occur then.

5. Whatever decision you make from this point forward—I support you.If you want to go back and make it work again then that's your choice. No one can tell you what the best decision is to make, that's on you. All I can tell you is that no matter what you do- you have my support. I want you to be happy and I want you to make the decision that you feel to be right in your mind and soul. I'm not saying that I'll be able to understand the decision you made, but I am PROMISING you that I will stand by your side and support you in any possible way that I can. The thing is, you don't need my approval. You don't need anyone's approval. Trust yourself, because your self-love and acceptance is all you truly need in this life, and I believe in you and your ability to make the choice in your heart that leads you to that.

6. Ice cream and popcorn may not fix all of this hurt you feel, but I promise you one thing will, without a doubt: TIME. Be patient, for time heals all wounds.

So chin up darling- don't let some boy ruin your new mascara, find a man who ruins your lipstick instead.

Love you always,

Besties for the Resties

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
