14 Things Every Girl Needs To Know, Understand, And Master By Her 20s

Here are a few things I wish someone would have told me growing up, and that I know want to share with everyone else in hopes that this will help them in ways they would have helped me.

About bras...

Bras last longer if you let them air dry - DON'T put them in the dryer.

Frizzy Hair Hacks

If you have issues with frizzy hair, do NOT dry your hair with a towel. It makes it ten times frizzier. Letting it air dry is the way to go.

Washing Clothes

When you wash white clothes, it's better to do it in hot water. All your other colors? Cold water.

Germs and Sponges

You can kill almost all the germs in a sponge by putting it in your dishwasher for a cycle. Or, microwave it for about two minutes.

Helping with Pests

Air out your room and let some sunshine in.

Period Panties

WEAR BLACK! Stains are going to be way less visible that way.

Saving Money

Put aside at least 10% of each paycheck. It'll add up quicker than you think.

Washing Hair

Use conditioner first - it helps keep the oils in your hair that keeps it looking healthy. Unless you have something in your hair, like hairspray, then use shampoo first.

Another Hair Washing Tip

If you have really long hair, just wash the tips and the close to your scalp. The rest of your hair will get all the cleaning it needs from the run off of your scalp.

Tampons

If you can clearly feel your tampon, you have it in there wrong. A tampon used/placed right is practically unnoticeable.

Deodorant

Don't apply it right before you go out. Apply it a few hours before hand to give it a chance to close your pores.

Drying Clothes

Use the dryer sheet from the previous load to clean out the lint catch.

 Clean Face

Wash your face every day or as often as you possibly can if you can't do it every day. That will lead to cleaner, healthier skin. Also, don't pop your pimples!

 Folding clothes

Fold all your clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer. It makes all the difference.

I hope these 14 life hacks help you as much as they have helped me since learning them!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
