Young hearts be free...

My main reason for this post is to prove that you are never too old for a little magic. After I turned 29 last month I worried everyday that I was old, unmarried and without children. Now, I know many of you will think I am crazy because I am only 29, but to me I felt my life should have been different when I approached that age. I always wanted to be a young mother and be married by my late 20s. Unfortunately that is not the path my life has taken me. Its not easy to meet prince charming anymore in this world, and you try to put yourself out there and things fall apart and you get disappointed. I've realized maybe in this past week that I was being too hard on myself and sad and worried all the time over things out of my control. I work with a lot of women and we compare stories of our dating experiences and they are all very similar. I am happy to know I have friends whom I can share and compare my stories with and we can laugh about them. So my point here is, I decided to do my makeup in a look that was magical, young and free spirited. No matter what your age is or where you are in life, there is always room for fun, and when life gets you down surround yourself with people you love and who will make you happy.
