I couldn't be more grateful for my friends and family. Thank you everyone for a fabulous birthday. Here's to the next year.

David Cornfield Melanoma Fund ... Dear 16 Year Old Me

After seeing this post, I had to write a blog about it. I just returned from my younger brother's prom pictures and I can't tell you the number of girls that look like they've been roasting in tanning beds for the past month. I'll be the first one to admit it, I used to go tanning. For about 4 months during college, then I was broke. Not long after that, my dad developed early signs of skin cancer and was soon diagnosed with an early stage of it.

I just want to spread the word about melanoma awareness. Please do the same.

Imperfection is Beauty

These quotes were too long to tweet when #marilynmonroe was trending on Wednesday. But, in celebration of what would have been the icon's 85th birthday I put together a few of my favorites.

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring."

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."

"It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you're not"

"You never know what life is like, until you have lived it."

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
