Just a day after New Year’s Day, I celebrated my 32nd birthday (I know I am lucky, not). As I have entered the 32nd year of my life, I wanted to share thirty-two things I have learned along the way.
THIRTY-TWO THINGS I LEARNED IN THIRTY TWO YEARS
- Believe in yourself and your potentials and always always trust your instinct.
- Beauty sleep is the best thing you can offer your skin. Sleep at least 8 hours each night!
- Money is better spent in an international trip than in a new pair of shoes.
- Red lipstick can change your entire mood and looks.
- Jealousy and comparison with others are your happiness thieves. Don’t let them!
- Clean out your closet at least once a year.
- Drinking plenty water is good not only for your beauty but your health as well.
- Invest in a good quality designer trench coat that fits perfectly.
- My mother is always right.
- Backup your phone and computer regularly.
- Always keep a bottle of champagne in your fridge for upcoming unexpected celebrations.
- Don’t skip dessert. Life is too short!
- Protect your privacy online. Don’t post the embarrassing photos from last night’s girls night out. Trust me!
- Have a handful of real friends and not dozens of acquaintances.
- The love of your life will come when you won’t expect it.
- Don’t be afraid to wear bright bold colors. Put color in your life, starting from your wardrobe.
- Read as many books as you can. Books are a window in the world.
- Fresh flowers brighten your house and improve your mood.
- Learn how to cook a handful of recipes really well.
- Leopard print is undoubtedly a neutral.
- Exercise 30 minutes everyday. A little exercise won’t kill you, but none might.
- Snail mail is not dead. Sent out Christmas cards, thank you notes they will be greatly appreciated.
- Smile more, pout less.
- Stop complaining for the things you don’t have and start appreciating the things you do have.
- Don’t keep grudges. Forgive, move forward but not forget.
- Your blog and online presence on social media is your new resume. Write it carefully.
- Living with your significant other is exciting but requires mutual recessions.
- Your dreams won’t work unless you do. It’s up to you to push your life in the direction you wish to be in.
- Confidence is a game changer.
- Organization is crucial for a stress free life.
- Find what you are passionate about and pursuit it.
