In 2008, a month before my 38th birthday, this native Californian decided to uproot her life and plant roots in The Pacific Northwest. And my parents came with me! Single, tired of CA, change was needed...so Dolce, the toy poodle and I, packed the Mitsubishi and headed north...these are our adventures. I Blog about my passions: Travel, Fashion, Styling Tips, Movies....and whatever else inspires me.

Bye-Bye 30's.....
For awhile now, I've been planning how I wanted to spend the last day of my 30's. The final time I will say, "I am 39". I felt this day had to be special, meaningful....a proper goodbye to this decade. I wanted a Hermes bag...but lets face it, with a 7 year waiting list, who has that kind of time?? So, I went with the next best options. My day started with coffee at my favorite cafe with my favorite person (you know who you are!) My day ended with a wellness session: 30 minutes of meditation and 60 minutes of Pilate's followed by a 30 minute massage....followed by a cupcake. All in all, a wonderful day and a satisfying way to say goodbye to one decade and hello to the next one. I decided to stay up until midnight tonight....I wanted to be awake when I turn 40. So, with candles lit, and my fingers typing away...I have Sex and the City on the TV. With Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte on in the background, one is never alone. So, with 2 hours to go until midnight (I feel like a kid on Christmas!) and my favorite fictional friends on in the back, I bid adieu to my 30's and accueillir à 40. Age is just a number and is just a state of mind. I am open and excited to what comes next...a new phase and a new chapter is beginning. The past stays in the past and the present is what we live for...cherishing each and every moment and experience. And to quote Samantha from one of my favorite episodes, and the episode that I just watched - next time I need a pick me up or a reminder that life is good - I'll remind myself: "Hello my name is Fabulous".
