I will miss my 30's

Well, in about two weeks I will be the BIG 40. Yes, that is right, I will no longer be in my 30's. Officially on February 6th, I will be 40.

Gone are the days of checking the 2nd or so box off in a census. I will now have to look for the one with the 40+ age bracket. That kinda sucks.

I am not really sad about it, just a tad sarcastic. And anyone who knows me personally would take "tad" and roll around on the floor laughing. I have never been one to be a "tad" bit anything. And when I am sarcastic, I generally have to be over the top sarcastic. So maybe I am mellowing as I age.

If my 40's are anything like my 30's I will love it. I really enjoyed the 30's more than my 20's to be honest. 

The only current highlight so far that I have to look forward to celebrating my 40th is with an appointment for a mammogram. Nothing like a good breast squishing to ring in a new year. But, as long as it is still available to me and some silly politician hasn't taken it away, gosh darn it, I will get one. Everyone should, and actually I believe people should be getting them on a regular basis before they hit 40!

So does anyone have some words of wisdom to impart as I make my way to the newest milestone? Any comical events to make me laugh?

I will let you know if anything monumental happens on that day! xoxo

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

Yeah, yeah, I know I am a terrible blogger, not consistent, but hey, I try. :)

I hope everyone had a great 2009 holiday season. I know I enjoyed it a lot, spending quality time with the family and friends.

After quite taking some time in 2009 to relax, I have entered 2010 with renewed energy and creativity. I have been busy making soaps to restock customer favorites and adding a whole bunch of new stuff, so you definitely have some new things to look forward to.

Please check out my January Newsletter, if you are not a subscriber. I have a great little promotion going on.

So my goal is to try blogging a bit more, may not be everyday but I will be sure to bring some interesting things more often. I also plan on including some at home recipes you can try for yourself. Beauty starts at home!
