It's Okay Thursday

I've always loved this concept. I believe Glamour magazine typically had a page dedicated to, "It's OK to...." and I've had a list of these things forever.  Today, 2 blogs (http://mkinwonderland.com/2012/05/its-okay-thursday/ and http://www.acompletewasteofmakeup.com/) wrote about things it is okay to do. So I'm shamelessly borrowing their idea and doing one of my own.

So here goes...It's okay...

To carry and use your own, very specific kind of gel pen to fill out forms of any kind, sign checks/receipts or write anything down because you hate using crappy Bic pens or any other less than fantastic writing utensil.

To not wash your hair every day or even every other day. It's not dirty...even if it gets sweaty. The sweat adds a little touch of beach-hair appeal that you can only get on vacation.

To not get the gel manicure.  Yes it's amazing that it last 2 weeks...but it's also a huge pain to get off and my nails grow super fast.

To still hope that Brenda and Sonny get back together for good and ride off into the sunset. And to have a friend who hopes that same thing and she loves you more for it.

To be beyond thrilled that the summer time is almost here...sun, fun, humidity, beaches, vacations, boat drinks and yes (gasp) getting a tan!

To believe age truly is a state of mind and believe you are never to old to do what you want, be who want and go where you want.

To sing loudly to anything Taylor Swift and be happy about it.

To not really be into the latest book craze....50 Shades of whatever, The Killing, I mean Hunger Games.  Keeping up with great blogs is just as good, maybe better.

To be 10 years into a career and still not know what you want to be when you grow up.

To use chemicals for the sake of anti-aging and beauty and still be a supporter of all things green.

To take the high road, be kind, be understanding or not participate when everyone else is choosing to be the opposite of kind and understanding.

To treat your dog like the person you know she is.

To watch Beverly Hills 90210 reruns on Soapnet and enjoy every minute of them...the characters, the fashion, the terrible (yet amazing) acting, and the plots.

To refuse to wear peddle pusher pants (even if they are in style) because they bring flashbacks of when they didn't make tall or long pants and normal pants where unfortunate looking peddle pushers.

To have an addiction to Starbucks. What? Doesn't everyone want to stop there twice a day?  I think yes.  Don't judge me.

To keep searching for that perfect...shade of eyeshadow, pair of sunglasses, little black dress and/or shoes...you just might find them.  If not, it's sure fun looking.

To not give up on things you think about every day. 
To know that you might not be where you want to be but you are where you are supposed to be.
To do something everyday, just for you.
To never settle. 

It's okay...
