Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Julia, Happy Birthday to Me.  It's amazing and wonderful waking up to another birthday.  I am so thankful to see another one and hopefully I have grown wiser, nicer, smarter, kinder and a whole lot more passionate about life.  This has been a year of ups, downs, highs and low, but as the gospel song says "through it all, I made it."  I was battling a cold late last week and am finally feeling better.  Thank goodness because no one wants to be sick on their birthday.

So what does a birthday girl do on her birthday during the holidays.  I BEGIN EACH BIRTHDAY BY NEVER WORKING ON MY BIRTHDAY.  My father instilled this in me when I got my first job at McDonald's.  Your birthday is the only holiday that you don't have to share with others.  So give that holiday to yourself.  Therefore, I wake to numerous phone calls of birthday wishes.  It's my day so everything is about me, including my purchases.  A custom made lotion and shower gel by Urban Botanic Products and Shawna was my consultant.  The first you do is fill out a personality questionnaire.  How can you go wrong with that?  I filled out the questionnaire and my personality is more floral and flirty.  I picked my perfect matches from a list of scent.  Of course it included gardenia, vanilla, and white musk.   A few days later arrived a scrumptious lotion called "Pretty Julia" created for me and just for me by Ms. Shawna and just in time for my birthday.  It's perfect for wearing alone or layering which I did.  I love mixing all types of scents in the same family. 

So I'm off to enjoy a blissful day of birthday passions.  A Hip Hop Dance Class at noon, followed by lunch, massage, manicure/pedicure, journal writing and being thankful for another year.

Have a pretty day.
