The Glamorous Thirties

Not that long ago, it was completely un-glamorous to admit to being any older than 29. But, in recent years attitudes have started to shift making it sexy and glamorous to be a slightly older woman.

Despite some of the atrocities that come with being in my thirties (can't drink as much as I use to, can't party as much as I use to, need more sleep, WHAT??? - where did those wrinkles come from all of a sudden??), I actually enjoy it!

Here are some of the reasons why I enjoy being in my thirties:

• Old enough to know who my real friends are; not too old to dump the ones who aren't


• Old enough to have established a career; not too old to change directions


• Old enough to act mature and responsible; not too old to have a good time


• Old enough to know how to dress appropriately; not too old to try out new trends


• Old enough to raise kids; not too old to act like a kid myself


• Old enough to be independent; not too old to know I can still rely on family


• Old enough to be thankful for the life I have; not too old to change it if I'm not


• Old enough to know what I want in a relationship; not too old to insist that I get it


• Old enough to make decisions on my own; not too old to ask for guidance


• Old enough to stand up for what I believe; not too old to be stuck in my ways
