I’m going home to New York!

So you probably read my last two posts about Degree’s new Natureffects line of Deodorants and Body Mists, right?  Well it turns out that I was selected as the WINNER for their beauty blogger contest supporting the launch and I won a free trip for me a friend to New York City to attend a Mary J. Blige concert in Times Square!!!  Seriously, I’m still in shock.  I haven’t been home since Christmas and I was definitely itching to get back and enjoy all that Manhattan has to offer.  I’m so greatful to Degree for this amazing opportunity- make sure you’re following me on Twitter because I’ll be in New York Saturday, March 20th until Monday, March 22nd and I’ll be tweeting and blogging about my experiences during the trip.

John Frieda’s Sheer Blonde Entourage

So when I heard about this great new promotion from John Frieda, I had to share.  As a card-carrying blonde for the past 9 years, I’ll be the first to say blonde is better and blondes really do have more fun! (Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but I do enjoy my sunny tresses.)  Anyway, check out ForBlondesOnly.com to sign up and see if the tour is coming to a city near you.  If you live in the New York City area, Natasha Bedingfield will be performing at the Highline Ballroom on March 18th!  The elite event lets all girls experience the benefits of being blonde with the royal treatment- hair station makeovers, amazing food and of course, cocktails- all to the music of Natasha.

27 candles

So it’s my 27th birthday and I have mixed feelings on the whole situation.  My life definitely hasn’t turned out as I expected and planned but I’m really proud of everything that I’ve accomplished and where my life is at the moment.  Here’s to another 27 years.  And, I will continue to say “30?  Who’s 30?!” when someone decides to round up my age.
