How did that even happen? \u00a0But to be honest I legitimately could not be happier about it! \u00a0It&#8217;s weird when I was younger I always thought it would be so awful to grow older, the wrinkles, the boring clothes, the grey hairs&#8230;oh how I was wrong!<\/p>\n<p>First I love my wrinkles&#8230;each and every one of them&#8230;I mean I worked hard for all those laughs, fun days in the sun, and time spent outdoors&#8230;I earned those wrinkles. \u00a0While don&#8217;t get me wrong I do my best to take care of my skin (hello R&amp;F, I&#8217;m looking at you) I&#8217;m absolutely not embarrassed by a single one of them! How boring would it be to not have any trace of the life you lived on your face??<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the boring clothes&#8230;.that&#8217;s a myth! \u00a0Clothes really do just get better as you age and really find your own style. \u00a0No longer am I chasing the latest trends and wearing things that are not the most flattering on my body type simply because they are &#8220;on-trend&#8221;. \u00a0I feel like I&#8217;ve started to really find my style and have been investing in pieces that I LOVE, that make me feel confident, and excited to wear them. \u00a0I&#8217;ve finally learned the less is more rule, and I&#8217;m loving it!<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, grey hairs&#8230;.that&#8217;s just life and thank god we all have amazing hairdressers to fix them!!<\/p>\n<p>Also my life: I could go on forever here but in short:<\/p>\n<p>My health, our health. \u00a0I feel overwhelming lucky that our entire family is HEALTHY, truly a\u00a0blessing that I do not take for granted.<\/p>\n<p>That husband of mine&#8230;he really is a good one.<\/p>\n<p>Two adorable, funny, and kind kids.<\/p>\n<p>I get to do what I LOVE and call it work.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ve\u00a0finally found the courage to own my future along with ALL\u00a0of my dreams after many years of\u00a0traveling along the path I thought I was suppose to go down.<\/p>\n<p>But really my 30s and these last few years has totally shifted my outlook on life and I could not be more grateful that I have the privilege to turn another year older, for so many, heartbreakingly, don&#8217;t get the opportunity to celebrate 33. So today I will count ALL of my many blessing, I will squeeze my family tight and love on them with all I have, I will thank god and the universe for the amazing life I get to live, and I will joyfully, unregrettably turn another year older!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3296\" src=\"http:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CRD_Ryann.jpg\" alt=\"Charlie Rowan Designs - Ryann Scrafford\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CRD_Ryann.jpg 720w, https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CRD_Ryann-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;ve been on a serious lipstick kick lately and this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulta.com\/matte-lipstick?productId=xlsImpprod1020032\">Revlon Matte Stormy Pink<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0that I&#8217;m wearing in the image above is my daily go-to, such an easy color that instantly makes the day better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I&#8217;m 33! \u00a0What the?!?!
