This year is our year. 2017 was kind of rough. Mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. Let’s make a pact. We will be better this year and take over 2018.

Do's

1. Be More Than Just the Male Gaze:

You have more worth than that. Don’t just look beautiful be beautiful inside and out.

2. Take a Day for Yourself:

If you need a day, take a day for yourself. You worked hard in 2017, get nails and hair done.

3. Always Wear Skincare:

I might only be twenty but I have laugh lines and under eye bags. So, before it happens to you, put on eye cream and serum.

4. That includes Sunscreen:

Find a new outlet or hobby to immerse yourself in. I didn’t know how much I needed writing in my life until I had to journal for a class. Now I cannot live without it.

Don'ts

1. Don’t settle:

You probably have done this plenty in 2017, and it’s exhausting. You work too hard to get nothing but the best

2. Don’t be one of those people who doesn’t say hi but follows them on Instagram:

That’s weird for everyone. Grow some, and say hello like a normal human being.

3. Don’t apologize for being competitive:

That is a strong quality that several people don’t have. Use it to your advantage.

4. Don’t let a boy tell you who how to do your hair/makeup/nails:

You are an adult, and no male can tell how to do anything especially how you express yourself.

5. Don’t Keep Toxic Relations

You know they suck, your mom knows they suck, they probably know the suck. Don’t keep them around.
