1. Caring about yourself is important. Helping others is cooler. You should always break from fixing your hair to donate to charity and volunteer. Causes aiding children, animals, women, homeless, the environment, and equality are super cool. Every little bit helps, so if all you can afford for places like Kitten Rescue Los Angeles or Flatbush Cats (NYC) is $5, lots of people doing that together will add up.
2. Clothes should fit everyone. You should never change your body to fit into clothes. Make the clothing fit you. Our sizes are available for anyone who wants to wear our products. End of story. Sorry, Regina George, maybe you should have tried Sears, having fun with your friends in size inclusivity clothing choices of 2004 instead of forcing yourself into impossible body standards. 😊 #meangirls4ever
3. Laughing at yourself helps any bad day. Our silly product descriptions are meant to make you smile, and we hope our products themselves make you smile more when you get them.
4. Hugs are awesome.
5. The big deal of an education is experiencing normal life around young people your age. You should put off the glam of Hollywood and/or big city work by being with your peers at a university, art school, or trade school, if at least taking classes part time. You can always nab acting roles and/or that dream job. Don't grow up too soon. This foundation will last a lifetime.
6. Privately doing funky worm dances, EDM in your ears, solves all problems.
7. It's OK to cry sometimes.
8. You don't need millions of fake friends. Only a few real ones.
9. The best ideas, art, music, stories, films, and innovations aren't made with expensive office equipment you photograph to look like you're a VIP. They are born on paper, a pen or pencil in your hand. Real life example: John Williams' legendary Star Wars motifs came from notes penned in a normal room, with zero selfies and neon lit equipment.
10. Texting has its benefits. It will never replace pen pals, or you leaving your BFF a surprise post it note.
11. The best books are public domain titles of old.
12. Always learn another language. For yourself, your family heritage, or knowing how to order amazing food at a restaurant abroad.
13. Online shy? You don't need social media to make it in any industry. Huge careers happened before social media. They do now. They always will.
14. It's OK if you, a social butterfly, do love social media! Because, cat pix. Who can resist them?
15. Everyone should visit the San Antonio Riverwalk at least once. Or thousands of times.
16. The beach is not to be missed. Go to the beach every year if you can and reside in a landlocked area. Any beach. ANY. It doesn't have to be the fanciest, or the coolest. A beach, with wildlife, a breeze, water, you.
17. You meet the coolest people and do the biggest things in your life because of poor decisions leading to the right ones.
18. Mean people will always be out there somewhere making fun of everything you do and say. Why not live for yourself, not them? The best revenge is them never removing your happiness.
19. Diet soda is one amazing guilty pleasure. Fizzy fun!
20. Guidelines about women's clothing to toss out by age 30, 40, 50, 80, 200 are obsolete. Wear whatever makes you happy. Men run business empires in hoodies. You can do it in a business suit and the once forbidden long hair post 40.
21. Lucky numbers are a must for everyone.

This is a warmup.

Why don't you add more rules in your own notebook? Yes, physical notebook. Pen and paper. Old school style. Do it! You haven't lived until you journal. 🤗
