Unhinged with Phoebe Parsons

Thou shalt remember, that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. If you tuned in last week, you'll know that a.) Sadly, I'll never land the starring role in Tinderella and b.) I really shook it up. I decided it was high time I gave my girl gang some hard earned time off, and I decided to get amongst the guys. One small step for this woman, one big step for women everywhere.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember that being single is all fun and games until you realise it's a never ending cycle of getting to know someone, until they eventually stop texting you, then they watch your instagram story every day until you die... Dating in your 20s is no easy feat... something I've touched on once or twice before...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember, that handbags speak louder than words. You can tell a lot about a woman by her handbag. But because my mother was the kind of woman who taught me never to judge a book by its cover, I want to get deep and really delve below the surface.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember that nothing will ruin your 20s more than thinking you should have your life together. When Charles Dickens wrote, “it was the best of times it was the worst of times” he must have been talking about his twenties. That glorious, yet tumultuous time when you’re awkwardly straddling childhood and adulthood, trying desperately to officially make the transition from doe-eyed dependent to full-fledged freedom and independence. But no one tells you how fast it actually happens.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember... always a bridesmaid, never a bride. It's the day every girl spends her whole life dreaming about... the big white dress, the triple tiered spiced red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and the man of your dreams waiting for you at the end of the aisle...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember, always show up... even if you throw up...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember that beauty comes from within... within boxes, tubes and bottles... When it comes to beauty, I'm the first to admit, that I'm an absolute mass of contradictions. Having spent the first half of my career as a beauty editor - where my job was literally trialling the never ending slew of brand new products that would wash up on my desk, you'd think by now I'd be the beauty whisperer... But think again friends, because that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm the girl who brushes her brows, but not her hair. The girl who'll spend $200 on a facial, but wash my face with soap. And the girl who'll sleep with 24 carrot gold eye patches on, but buy my blush from Coles. But I've come to realise, that when it comes to beauty, there's no right or wrong... it's totally subjective - the only cardinal beauty rule is, don't judge another woman's routine...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember - don't just go to the party, be the party.  There are two kinds of girls in the world... those who fit in, and those who stand out. No second guessing which category I fall into…  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou Shalt Remember, that life is not a fairytale... and if you lose your shoe at midnight, it just means you're drunk. When it comes to fairytales, I'm kind of on the fence. While I've had plenty of Once Upon A Times, every single one of them has ended in a Happily NEVER after... suffice to say, I'm a little bit sceptical. Do you really blame me though? I honestly swear I'm one dick pic and DM slide away from buying a cat and calling it a day. Maybe it's a generational thing, and I mean, call me old skool, but swiping for love makes me feel dead inside. All I can say is, TGFD - thank god for Disney - because every pumpkin carriage, magic carpet and singing Genie, slowly but surely helps restore my faith in the male race...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember, if you don't change your mind as often as your underwear, do you still have one?   If I had a dollar for every time I stopped to contemplate where the f*ck my life was going, I would have $480 thousand dollars.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
