Actually, they dont ever work the way you want them to.

Twenty-five is a weird age.
Brad Llyod
Here are 25 things Ive learned in 25 years:
1.Drink.
This isnt a question or a suggestion.
It is a requirement!
Everything in your body benefits from water.
Drink it before your morning cup of coffee.
Drink it after your morning cup of coffee.
Drink it with every meal.
Just drink it, okay!
2.Self-love and self-care are hard.
I dont think its something you should ever stop working at.
Its not selfish, and it doesnt mean you dont love other people.
It simply means that you love them enough to take care of yourself, bothmentallyandphysically.
3.Its okay to say no.
But you know what?
The world didnt end when I started putting myself and my needs first.
I also think that more people respect me for it.
4.Life is short and moments are fleeting.
Enjoy your grandparents stories even if youve heard them 100 times before.
One day youll miss them.
5.Your parents, siblings, and grandparents will become your best friends and biggest supporters.
6.Learn to love the art of cooking, even if its just mastering the perfect mac and cheese.
You have to know the basic essentials and if you need help, call me!
7.SUNSCREEN Skin cancer is no joke!
Use sunscreen like your life depends on it because it does!
8.Healthy hair is important!
You look more put together and professional when your hair looks good.
So find a hairdresser you love and keep them.
Thats right, Heather, Im talking about you!
Thanks for always making my hair look bomb!
9.Speaking of looking put together, find a makeup routine that you love and master it.
Even if its just mascara and blush.
10.Its okay to fall in and out of love with hobbies.
I used to love reading, but now Im lucky if I can finish a book.
11.Plans dont always work out.
Actually, they dont ever work the wayyouwant them to.
Gods timing is perfect.
Trust in his timing.
12.Its okay to drink.
Its okay not to drink.
You dont have to explain your reason for doing either.
And its never okay to ask why.
I love learning one thing new a day, even if its some useless fact.
It helps keep your mind sharp.
14.Try new foods and try things you never used to eat.
15.Find a podcast that you love to listen too, one that inspires you and makes you think.
I love the Rise podcast by Rachel Hollis and Jenna Kutchers Goal Digger podcast.
16.Stop trying to keep up with the Kardashians or at least, trying to be like them.
You do yourself no favors by trying to be someone youre not.
17.Plants make your house/apartment/condo smell good.
They help filter the air.
Buy a couple of low maintenance plants I promise they work!
The world is a lonely, hateful place without them.
19.Be in someones corner.
Be the friend that you wished you had!
Love hard and with all your heart.
Love with every fiber of your being.
Youll be surprised how good love makes you feel!
Whatever it is, do it!
22.Say goodbye to toxic people.
It does you no favors to keep them in your life.
Go to places you once dreamed about.
Breath the air from the Rockies and eat a fresh, warm croissant on the streets Paris.
Wherever your dreams take you,GO!
You do not I repeat, DO NOT have to justify why you dont have kids toanyone.
Enjoying married life with your spouse is so much fun!
25.Buy good, sexy, underwear and throw away the ones with holes!
I am convinced your self-confidence starts with your skivvies!
