With Love, Ciara ♥: 20 Things a Woman Should Live By

One of my many obsessions, in case it wasn't already becoming evident, is the idea of lists. Top tens, how-tos, goals or contests: everything is just so much better in list form. Today I came across a list entitled "20 Things a Woman Should Live By." Below are all the recommendations from that list, as well a a series of images I've included to make it even more entertaining. Enjoy and share :).

20 Things a Woman Should Live By

(in the style of my favourite, girliest, TV shows and movies)

1. Men are an amazing part of life, but they are in no way the be all and end all of life.

2. It's OK to admit that you're young, fab, and NOT broke. Celebrate your success.

3. Don't waste time crying over little boys who talk too much. Someday you will find the one and then all that happens in between will just seem like bullshit. Some will be hot and unforgettable bullshit, but nonetheless bullshit.

4. It's ok to be 22, or even 32 or 42, and not know what you want to be when you grow up.

5. Many people will try to judge your spending and lifestyle habits, don't let it get to you. It's your life, your money and no one else's business.

6. If you like being single, it's ok to admit that. Maybe you like being alone. Maybe you just like dating and hooking up. Guys like these things and the world has no problem with it.

7. In business it's likely that men twice your age with half your brain capacity will be making triple the money than you do. Work hard anyway, never give up, you are the brain and the voice of tomorrow.

8. Your parents have already lived a bulk of their life. It's time to start living yours. It is possible to both respect them and be happy. Sometimes they may get mad at your choices, make those choices anyway, they will love you and will eventually come around.

9. It's ok to order extra cheese on your fries and not go to the gym after.

10. No matter how old you are by number, never forget what it feels like to be young and alive.

11. People are always going to talk, so just do your thing. You may as well give them something to talk about.

12. Having one too many shots with your girlfriends on a Saturday night doesn't make you an alcoholic, it just means you're having a good time. Anyone who tells you otherwise is jealous. You work hard all week and deserve time to get your party on.

13. Don't keep company with those who constantly compare themselves to you. Keep company with those who love you for you and enhance your life.

14. If you can't find your prince, there is nothing wrong with enjoying kissing all the wrong frogs.

15. Live your life for you: not your parents, not a man, not your friends. It is the only way you will ever truly be happy.

16. You're never too old to learn something new.

17. In your life you will wind up with a select few friends who are more like your soul mates. Cherish them, they'll be the ones around when the party is over.

18. You're going to make mistakes: the wrong career, the wrong major, the wrong boyfriend. Everything happens for a reason-you'll learn something, recover and come back better than ever.
