There is something about an old friend

There is something about an old friend that a new friend just can't replace.

I moved to New York City after i graduated college.  I have made so many fabulous new friends here; men, women, in all different professions, backgrounds, religions, and races.  That is the beauty of New York City.  You never know when and where you are going to meet someone that you connect with.  You are exposed to so many people everyday just by walking down the street.  When i think about it, i really feel so fortunate for the friendships and relationships i have made since i moved here.  I realize however, it is so easy to get caught up in your own life that you really have to make an effort to keep up these friendships.  You have to think outside yourself and your everyday life and make time for those who you care about.

Yesterday, i had lunch with an old friend.  This lunch date was so overdue and it makes me sad to think we live just a ten minute cab ride away yet we have let so much time go by where we don't see each other.  This friend of mine is not an old friend actually, she is a very current best friend of mine who i have known since we were born. We haven't seen one another in almost a year but we pick up right where we left off, as if we were together the day before.  We couldn't even order our lunch because we couldn't come up for air from our conversation.  Anyway, i thought about our meeting yesterday in relation to my blog because this friend of mine is always up to date on the best cosmetics, diets, restaurants, and beauty.  She is one of those women that you see and you think "what are her beauty secrets??  i wanna look like that!"  I'm sure everyone knows or has a friend like that.  Well we discussed that next week we are going to go to Barneys and Bergdorf and she is  going to introduce me to all of her products and reveal some of her beauty and dieting secrets.  Stay tuned!

PS if you have any beauty, diet, and health secrets that you would like to share, please email me as i am always interested!!

have a great weekend!
