Life
Never let them see you sweat
Never go to bed angry
The only thing you have to do in life is die and pay taxes
Everyone has their light
Always be classy
Be yourself, don’t let boys define you
Envy is worse than jealousy
You can look at the menu, but you don’t have to order
Don’t bring sand to the beach
Beauty only comes to those that deserve it
Health
30 minutes of exercise EVERYDAY
Always drink water
A moment on the lips, forever on the hips
Your body is a temple
Don’t waste calories on beverages
Skin
Never wax or pluck your eyebrows
Wash your face every night
Beware of the sun
Hair
Your hair is the most important part of your appearance
Don’t sleep with wet hair or risk sinusitis
Trim your hair every three months
Give your hairdresser a good tip
Makeup
Smoky eyes are not for everyone
For eye makeup: less is more
Always outline lips for fuller look
Clothing
Your underwear should never be part of your outerwear
Purchase a classy black cocktail dress
Where’s your ID?
