10 THINGS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
1. Make your own fairytale, buy your own glass slippers and stay past midnight if you feel like it.
2. If you could see yourself through your partner’s/ friend’s eyes – you’d be blown away.
3. Nobody has it completely together, we are all just winging it.
4. If someone tells you you’re beautiful, that’s what they see, believe it.
5. Never body shame…it’s the lowest of the low. Big up your sisters every day.
6. You are the main act, not a warm-up or a rehearsal. Don’t accept anything less.
7. Your body can do amazing things, respect it. It’s not there just to look good.
8. Perfection is a myth, you are unique, focus on your USP and stop comparing.
9. Don’t fall for the facebook facade. Everyone has back-fat/morning-breath/ bills/ body-issues.
10. You don’t need to be saved, be your own hero and find an equal to share the journey with.
Above all remember, life is short, eat the cake, wear the bikini, take the trip. Live like you are writing a story. Your story. Make it awesome

I agree life is short so you need to have fun. Don’t worry about what other people think if you aren’t happy with the way you look change it but only if you do. Just be your own hero and help others as you go along the way.
This is beautiful and powerful. It took me a LOOOONG time to learn to accept a compliment. Having low self esteem is difficult because you feel unworthy of compliments so when someone said something nice, I would fumble my words, be embarrassed and say something negative about myself trying not to draw attention to myself at the same time… yeah, it was ridiculous. “If someone tells you you’re beautiful, that’s what they see, believe it.” True. Just say thank you and deal with it 🙂 if you don’t believe it yet, you will one day!
Great points. Very true about not body shaming and always trying to be positive.
Also so important not to comment only on a women’s looks, especially when one leaves comments on blogs.
When people compliment me, I take it and accept it and appreciate it. I am not the type to ever question what they say! 😉 Too often people do that though and it’s sad!
I love this list so much, especially the part about making your own fairytale. I very much believe that!
i agree with all of these. i need to keep number 2 in mind a lot more
Thanks for all the encouragement! I agree, we need to be who we are to only ourselves. No one else has to matter unless we want them to matter.
A great list and an awesome pick me up 🙂 Love it!
I agree with all of these. Number 3 Nobody has it completely together, we are all just winging it really speaks to me.
Also that fairy tales do not need a prince or knight in shining armor. An awesome guy is nice but totally not necessary lol!
Lovely post. And sometimes us women should loose a bit, coz sometimes being uptight misses the fun in life.
I totally agree that no-one has it completely together. The grass always looks greener!
What a lovely post Donna, I really need to start learning to take compliments better, totally agree on Body Shaping that is so not cool x
These are such important things to remember – especially making your own fairytale!
These are great things to know and they tickled me somewhat. Yes, life is definitely too short and beauty is with the beholder and lies within!
These are good things to remember, these. Thank you for the reminder 🙂
Yes! Love this post, I feel like this is the kind of thing that I should every morning to set me up for the day x
I love this “Big Up Your Sisters Every Day.” Too many times, women make a habit of really tearing each other down. Thanks for encouraging people to treat each other better.
Agreed that nobody has it all together. Life is short – might as well made the best of it. Thanks for sharing!
SO very very true. I think us women are naturally hard on ourselves and we needn’t be.
Great post very inspiring love that line…If someone tells you you’re beautiful, that’s what they see, believe it – Totally agree 🙂 x
Great tips! We need to remember these every day!
I love all of these, especially make your OWN fairytale. 🙂 Totally agree.
Good stuff! My favorite is: Nobody has it completely together, we are all just winging it. That really makes me feel better LOL
Thanks for this! I loved #9. It IS SO TRUE!!
I’ve been thinking a lot recently and very slowly starting to accept ME. I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need to loose a tonne of weight. Just a tiny bit to make me feel a little better about myself. I’m going to start exercising and carry on eating healthy. But I’m not going to tell myself I’m not allowed to have a treat. I’m so hard to start accepting myself as I never have. But your right. Life is too short!
Oh these are great! and yes, life is short so i am starting to enjoy my life with my family.
YAAAASSS! Girl, preach! Especially the body shaming on all accounts. Far too often I hear/see women making comments that can be deemed hurtful about other womens’ bodies. Let’s just NOT talk about each other bodies in general, amirite?
All very great reminders that Can be easily
Forgotten! I love the one about not body shaming i agree it’s very low!
Yes yes yes! To all of this! It’s all about lifting each other up, not putting each other down!
Yes yes and yes again. Especially the body shaming one but yes to all
I needed to hear these today – what a great list! 🙂

Yes, yes, yes! It’s so empowering and liberating to reach the point where you realise what truly matters in life. We should empower each other and live live to the fullest.
Love it all but especially number 5 – no one should ever or be ever body shamed!!
I absolutely love this! It is a great reminder that we need to build ourselves up as much as we build others up.
I just love the positivity in this post! It’s really amazing and empowering. We have to value ourselves as women and remember what we’re worth.
