Dirty. Flirty. Thirty.

Please show some respect. You are now dealing with a thirties girl. You hear that? Thirty.

Yes, that's me.

Bye bye Twenties and hello brand new DECADE.

May I please use the line "Thirties are the new twenties" It's just a rumor I heard going round the block. I feel this must be true after all, people seem much more reluctant to jump onto the middle-age band-wagon so soon. Kids being had later, career changes, anti-aging creams, botox and surgery... Holding onto your youth is fine, it's encouraged.

Every year someone asks the Question:

"Do you feel any older"

When entering a new decade or a noted age such as 18 or 21, people seem to ask this even more. The answer of course is "Non" except for a back ache that seemed to follow me around before and after the day, although this was coincidental I. am. sure.

A New Decade

I am excited to be entering this new age group. My twenties were all over the place, amaze but not so fun too. There was lots that needed to be gotten out and taken care of and I feel that I can put all these memories and changes into a fully bracketed section. Done and done.

Change is brewing, I can feel it every day... I am planning a move, which should be happening very soon I am also working towards a complete career change which is ever so fab. Of course as and when these things happen, you guys will be kept firmly in the loop. NO SECRETS... OK?

How I turned Thirty

Here is an overview of the big 3-0. I was of course in France with the fam and my man, perfect stuff. Apart from one B-day spent in NY (which did NOT go down well) I have always spent my day in this way, a nice chilled affair, featuring food and lounging on the beach (this year no beach - due to weather), I wouldn't have it any other way.

DINNER

Turning thirty was a year for BEYOND AMAZE presents, I'm talking serious brat-ish spoilt-ness. If you remember the Wishlist I put together recently, this was not far off what I was treated with. Whoa whoa.

Would you believe that I received ALL these amaze nail varnishes of one fab friend? Is that not the most spesh (special) present ever? Ya'll know how much I adore nail art and this fab collection has filled me with nail-spiration. My girl Erin presented me with this whole shop of varnish last night. Dilemma's are piling up; rising and raging... Where do I start? Who gets first go?

To mark my new decade I chose to start off with something unusual pour moi; polka dots. Not my pattern of choice but maybe just what Flirty Thirty needs?
