Pinky Sparkles...

Gooooood evening guys and dolls! It's been a minute since I've blogged...clearly I've had writers block for the past 7 months!! Lol geeeeez! I say this to my clients daily, but I seriously can't believe it's OCTOBER!?!?!? I mean the last time I blogged it was March and I told ya'll about my salon, Kismet Beauty Lounge, which has been my baby this year. I'll tell u this, it's been the busiest year of my young life so far. The blessings that I've been given from God have been unreal! I mean seriously UNREAL! Thank you to God and everyone who helped me get to where I am today are not even enough words to describe my gratitude. I've learned so much this year that my brain actually hurts lol. I've loved so much that I ooze hearts and I've sparkled to the point where I truly think glitter runs thru my veins!! Laughter and Love is my addiction....and let's not forget working out of course, lol ;) Anyway, let me fill you in on my most recent trip to Puerto Rico I went on about 2 weeks ago. It was a very last minute (like I mean we booked it a week before departure) decision because I was going to be in Miami for a hair show, so it only made sense to grab the killer deal and make use of timing when it's there ya know!? I'll tell you this, I have the BEST friend in the WORLD!! My Dilek! My partner in crime. My soul identical friend. My fellow coquette...the BRAINS behind the operation. I say this all the time...I'd be lost without her. Not only because I have no sense of direction, but because she has the best ideas and I help execute them! We are truly Pinky and the Brain, lol.. So now here we are in San Juan *shaking my head in disbelief that I'm actually here* and what's the first thing I notice?!? Everyone smiles!! Lol I finally found a place where everyone is like me! The thing is, Dilek always tells me to stop smiling so much because I gets me in trouble, lol....she's right tho, she's absolutely right! I been like this my whole life, I smile even when I'm sad, and I laugh when I'm nervous so I actually can't help it. However, there are then some peeps who get the wrong idea just because I throw a smile their way. Which is when my bestie then tells me to quit it lol.. So now can u imagine how awesome it was to be in a place where all people do IS smile!? My dream land...next to Miami of course. I mean how could anyone be sad when the weather itself can put a smile to your face! It was 92 and humid and I was in love (with more then just the climate If you know what I mean lol). I'm pretty sure D and I were the only 2 blondes on the island, and I didn't hate that! So you can imagine my sparkle stood out like no other lol.. For 3 beautiful days all we did was laugh, drink champagne, laugh....laugh some more, and soaked in as much vitamin D as we could before heading back to the Windy City. As the saying goes that "laughter is the best medicine" I can honestly say that those are words that will be engraved on my tombstone one day. It's the truest statement there is. I'm a workaholic, and there are things that stress me out in my life. And when I laugh, everything goes away! My heart smiles, if u can imagine that! Lol. Laughter might not cure a disease, but it cures everything else, I swear by it! I love life and can't imagine going thru it unhappy, so I choose not to, even tho there are things that make me sad (which I'm gonna save for another blog) I believe in living to the fullest, and I did that in Puerto Rico this year. I thank God for my adventures and I continue to live the only way I know how.....IN LOVE Well I think I'm about to call it a night...between the light of the iPad screen, my romantically lit cradles and Ne-Yo playing in the background my eye lids are gonna need toothpicks to be held up soon! Lol..cheers to sweet dreams and realities! Muuuuaahhh!!!
