Sassy Girlfriend’s Top 10 Favorite Things

By Laura Nivin 7 Comments

I have the best girlfriends. They make my life complete.

Of course I love my family but there are just some things that you can only share with your friends. I googled this theory and there were so many studies that backed up my belief that it was hard to cite just one.  Yes, having good friends not only makes you live longer, it makes you have better and more successful relationships and marriages too! It’s a win,win!

This is why I want to include my girlfriends in my little blog. I want to share my sweet and wonderful friends. It might give you some insight into why I might seem so dang cheery to some people. I can’t help it. As I tell my six year old girls, God, just made me this way.  I don’t want to brag or anything but I was named “Friendliest” in my high school graduating class. Yep, that is my claim to fame as well as having the largest cap size of any girl that walked across the stage. I guess you can say I dreamed big!  My girlfriends just help keep me in a perpetually good mood! I just love them.

 

Sassy AngieThe first girlfriend I want you to meet is Angie. We went to high school together but she was a grade ahead. She’s older than me. Tee hee!  We had the same mutual friends, which doesn’t mean much in our little hometown since the entire town is pretty much one big mutual friend!  Everyone adores her, including me. Just saying her name makes me smile. She is a fabulous teacher. She moved off to Michigan where her students love to hear her East Texas accent on a daily basis. I guess we can’t keep big hair and bigger personalities in Texas forever. It’s nice to share. Please give her back every now and then! She needs to come down to make sure that twang still works and to get her Country Tavern Bar-B-Q fix.

The following is a list of things that she thinks are essential for her to stay sassy. I know you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy being her friend.

 

1.Coco Mademoiselle perfume by Chanel– It all started when I rubbed a magazine sample on my arm.  I went around sniffing my arm all day and had to have the perfume.  I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten when wearing this scent!
2. Lancome Le Crayon Khol eyeliner pencil in Black Lapis (use just above bottom lashes on inner eyelid) Dark blues compliment brown eyes and I’m a brown-eyed girl!
3.     Costume jewelry, and lots of it, from Sam Moons and Charming Charlie’s-  Princess Foo Foo must have bling!
4.     Sandals-Flat, low heel, high heel, with and without sparkles!  (Sigh!)
5.     Perfect polishes for pampered toes– Limbo Bimbo by China Glaze (Spring/Summer), Plugged-In Plum by Opi (Summer/ Fall), and Dear Santa by Opi (Winter)
6.     Macbook Pro laptop- I never thought I would like using a Mac until my PC crashed.  I will never go back to using a PC!
7.     Nook Color eBook reader– I love being able to download a book anytime I need something to read and I also love how I can configure my Nook to have a black background and a dim light which is perfect for late night reading!  No more book lights, lamps, or strained eyes!
8.     iPhone- hands down the best cell phone I’ve ever had!  I also love my adorable Kate Spade pink and black polka-dotted phone case.
9.     XM Radio– Perfect for times when I want to get my sing on and don’t feel like plugging my MP3 player into my car stereo!

10.  Friday date nights with my husband-  We almost always start the weekend out with a movie.  It’s a great way to get your mind off of work and to help you slide into a relaxing weekend.  The buttery movie popcorn is a nice bonus!

 

Told you would love her!

 

Stay Sassy Y’all.
