Happy 40th Birthday to Me!

Y'all today I turn the BIG 4-0! I know most ladies dread their 40th birthday! Not me, I'm living my best life 😉

So like my other birthday post, I thought I would share 40 things about me in celebration of my 40th birthday!


It's going to be hard to name 40 different things about me that I haven't shared already but I will give it my best shot.

1. I wear my hair pulled back or in a messy bun EVERY DAY! I hate wearing it down because it gets in my face. 

2. I am a Senegence Distributor. I became a distributor in August 2019. I truly love the products and love sharing them with y'all.

3. I love a BOLD lip instead of a BOLD eye. 

4. I wear my diamond earrings to workout in because it makes me feel fancy. 

5. I hate to drive. ( I think I have shared this before) If I had unlimited funds, I would hire a chauffeur. Forget the maid or cook. 

6. I am obsessed with watching Instagram Stories. I watch them all the time. Does that make me nosy?

7. I finally enjoy working out and look forward to going to the gym. 

8. I can do 6 push ups with a 15lb weight on my back! I'm pretty dang proud of that accomplishment. 

9. I sell makeup and skin care but don't wear makeup everyday. If I'm not going anywhere then I don't usually "get ready". 

10. I still love having my Etsy Shop. Last year was my slowest year since I opened it but I'm working on sharing more on social media platforms. 


11. I have been to CMA Fest in Nashville 3 times and I am going back in June with Leigh Anne.

12. I would LOVE to visit Napa Valley!

13. I can't tell you the last time I actually painted my own toenails. I always go to the nail salon. #spoiled

14. Ben bought me my first and only Louis Vuitton for my 40th Birthday while we were in NYC last month.

15. I have only been to NYC once. It was last month, everything was decorated for Christmas, except the tree wasn't lit. They held the tree lighting 3 days after we left.

16. I still fall asleep in the car whenever we go anywhere. It drives Ben crazy. We can be out with friends and I can be the life of the party. You get me still in the car and I am OUT.

17. I need to lose 20lbs. That weight is where I feel comfortable and more energized. I am working on meal planning and prepping. When I was on WW, I was great at this task but now that I discontinued my subscription this gets pushed to the back burner.

18. If I didn't color my hair, I would be completely grey.

19. Speaking of coloring hair, I color my own hair every 2.5-3 weeks. Because my hair is so dark one little grey stands out.

20. With my Etsy Shop, I have shipped to 48 of the 50 states.



21. I hope to be a vendor at at least 5 events this year. Sharing Senegence products and my Glittery Goodness. 

22. I joined Shelly with reading the bible in a year. I sure hope I stick with it. So far so good.

23. I read 53 books last year and I hope to read 55 this year. You can see what I read on GoodReads. 

24. I can't believe I have a high schooler and a middle schooler. It's true mamas, Don't BLINK!

25. We own a boat but I hate getting in the lake. The water just grosses me out.

26. I have known Ben for 28 years. We have been married 16.5 years.

27. I am lucky to be his wife. He is the hardest working man I know.

28. I shop way to much on Amazon.

29. I became a great aunt 2 years ago and will have 2 great nephews and maybe a great niece by August. (We don't know the sex of Hunter's sibling yet)

30.  My Glittery Heart will celebrate 4 years next week. I can't believe it. I am so thankful for the friendships I have developed through this little space.


31. Y'all coming up with 40 things about yourself is HARD.

32. I will not eat Taco Bell and my family LOVES it.

33. I actually enjoying cooking.

34. I have become a really good water drinker. I use to never drink enough water but within the past few years I drink a lot of water.

35. I love to host parties as well as plan parties.

36. Ben and Ella hate my hair straight. The last time I had my hair professionally colored, she blew it out straight. Ella didn't even recognize me and Ben said " I like your color"  Ian was just in different. HA

37. I have no pigmentation in my eyes. That is why I wear sunglasses all the time even when it's gloomy outside because it's still bright to me.

38. My mornings still start with coffee and Jesus.

39. I still enjoy cleaning because it is an immediate result. I shared before that I am an inpatient person.

40. If you need me today, I will be at the Spa! Hey you only turn 40 once so live it up!

Did you learn something new about me? Do we have anything in common?
