Lately, I've noticed a lot of people rolling their eyes and dissing girls that they describe as "girly-girls." You know, the ones that love pink, makeup and everything sparkly. As a self proclaimed "girly-girl," these are the things that I want you to know:
1. Calling me a girly-girl is not an insult.

I like wearing makeup. I like pink. Yes, this makes me a girly-girl. This doesn't make me some kind of lesser form of being.
2. I know secret uses for household products you've never thought of.
via GIPHY
I can name ten different beauty uses for coconut oil off the top of my head. Can you?
3. I can put together an adorable outfit in my sleep.

In fact, I often do. I know my closet like the back of my hand and know exactly what looks good on my body.
4. I'm not afraid to get excited over the little things.

Pink frosted cupcakes? A perfect lilac pedicure? A small animal with a jacket on? The simple pleasures make me happy.
5. I can talk about any given subject for hours.
via GIPHY
And I can probably relate whatever you're talking about to an episode of KUWTK.
6. I make the most of what I have.

I may not have enough room for storage, but I'll make room because I'm determined. I will get every last drop out of my expensive foundation with a Q-Tip. I can probably even fix your over-bleached hair. Bring. It. On.
7. I know the importance of a good hair cut.

Good hair makes someone feel ultra confident, and who doesn't want to feel good about themselves?
8. I know how to fix a problem.

Bad hair day? I can fix that.
9. I know the importance of female friendships.
It started with a compliment on her makeup. Now we're inseparable.
10. I'm not afraid to put myself out there.
via GIPHY
Wearing a Pinterest-worthy outfit to class will definitely turn some heads, and I am totally OK with that.
11. I can dream big.
via GIPHY
Just because I sleep in a matching two piece set from Victoria's Secret doesn't mean that I don't dream about ruling my empire in my sleep.
12. I know the importance of a good lipstick...
I found my signature color, and I own it.
13. And a good fragrance.
via GIPHY
It keeps them thinking about you hours after you leave.
14. I can do just as much in heels as I can in sneakers.
via GIPHY
Can you?
15. Being a girly girl doesn't mean I don't have common sense.
Most of the time.
16. I look cute at the gym because it's my pre-workout.
I make an effort to buy cute work out clothes. I still have my makeup on. It makes me feel confident. To each their own.
17. I can plan a killer sleepover.
via GIPHY
Makeovers. Rom-Com. Snacks. Wine.
18. I can help you feel better about yourself.
One of my favorite things to do is to give beauty tips or do makeup for my friends on big events. I like making others feel as beautiful as they should.
19. I can be a girly girl and also like sports.
via GIPHY
Yep. I'm an athlete. My sneakers are pink. Deal with it.
20. I'm always down to have a good venting session.

Who is being mean to you and can a caramel macchiato fix it?
21. I'm fierce as hell.

I can wear five-inch stilettos and kick your a**.
22. I know my self-worth.
23. I know a pair of shoes can change my life.
via GIPHY
Dorothy and Cinderella are just two examples.
24. I am stronger than you think.
I've braved through cuts from shaving, hot wax being used to rip hair out of my body, and bloody blisters from my shoes. I am strong.
25. I know how to perfectly craft an Instagram post.
Down to the filter and the caption
26. I can craft an amazing present for you.
27. I can geniusly attack a sale.
It's basically like stalking my prey and attacking with coupons and rewards points.
28. I know what it's like to be misunderstood.
Nope, just because I am a girly-girl does not mean I get everything handed to me. Nice try though.
29. I'm not a mean girl.
Being a girly-girl doesn't mean that I'm not a nice person. I'm totally a nice person.
30. I don't deserve to be judged based on what you classify me as.
Girly-girl or not, I shouldn't have certain expectations placed on me because of the way I look or dress or the things I like. I promise not to judge you either. Pinkie promise.
