FIT(ish)

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.

Thou shalt remember, that being an adult, is mostly just googling how to do stuff. There comes a time in everyones life, when you'll find yourself looking for an adult... but then you realise, you are an adult. So you look for an older adult, someone successfully adulting, you know... an adultier adult.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes to advice... I'm no Yoda... Which is why it always comes as a surprise to me when you guys slide into my DM's and ask for my advice. Up until now, the only advice people have ever come to me for, is when they want to know what NOT to do... But lately, I've been absolutely inundated with questions from you guys, so this week I've decided to mix things up a little bit and answer them right here, right now... Here goes nothing...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember that jumping to conclusions, burns relationships... not calories  If jumping to conclusions was an olympic sport, I'd be a gold medalist. I don't know whether it's my creatively wired brain, my overtly dramatic predisposition or the simple fact that I'm a female, that makes my habitual response to any and every uncertainty, a melodramatic one.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember, the best things in life, are not free. There are two kinds of people in the world... those who stick to a budget... and those who suck at a budget.

Thou shalt remember, that even though February 14 is a date, it doesn't mean you'll get one. Whether you have a special someone, or a not so special someone, Valentine's Day gives you all the feelz... but unlike rom coms would have us believe, it's not always the stretchy heart feelz...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou Shalt remember, that there is no force equal, to that of a hormonal woman. If the Spice Girls left us anything (you know, aside from a string of timeless tunes), it was the legacy of girl power. They say pain turns into power, right? And for women, pain is a normal part of life. Period pain, menstrual cramps, pap smears, childbirth, waxing, bloating, PMS, stilettos, laser hair removal and g-strings... just to name a few.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
