Hi Friends,

I don’t know about you but I cannot wait for the World Cup 2010 to start, only 29 more days!

Here is a little history of the World Cup…

The inaugural edition of the FIFA World Cup™ took place in Uruguay in 1930. The matches were all played in the capital city of Montevideo.  The first ever FIFA World Cup ran from July 13th to  July 30th.

Thirteen teams competed in the tournament. Seven were from South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay), four from Europe (Belgium, France, Romania, Yugoslavia) and two from North America (Mexico, USA). Uruguay, the pre-tournament favorites, won the competition with a 4-2 triumph over Argentina in the final.

Happy Monday friends…

Are you happy Saturday was officially the start of spring? It means it is time to stop layering up and start scrubbing the dead skin off before summer so I can look all good and you too! We are all so beautiful! This is the first of two posts for today.

XOXO
