Things You Learn When You’re 30

Used to fear that reaching thirty is too old. Now that I have come to that age I feel like I’m having the best time of my life. More freedom from society’s norms and being comfortable with yourself. It’s discovering and exploring from a different perspective.

1. Gotta have a daily regimen for the face. Cleanse, tone and moisturize.. and don’t forget- sunblock, sunblock, sunblock. It’s never too late to start using anti-aging products to look young at 30. 😉

2. QUALITY vs quantity.

3. Exercise. It’s hard to keep up maintaining a fit/healthy body when you love to eat. Make it a point to MOVE every day even if it’s just a few minutes of walking.

4. Do what you love to do. It’s never too late to start ticking off that bucket list. After all, life begins at thirty. Hehe. And the list doesn’t end.

5. Maintain a hobby. Whether it’s going to the gym, cooking, painting, cross stitching.. it matters to never lose a part of yourself in the routine.

6. You can’t please everybody. So stop trying and just be yourself.

7. People will comment for the sake of commenting. Just be quiet and let them do the talking. You will learn a lot about them.

8. When it comes to problem-solving, use your brain. You have that.

9. There’s always google to learn about new things.

10. In drinking, make sure you have a driver to get you home safely. In my case, my brothers. LOL

11. People detox. You’ll know who your real friends are.

12. Not everyone on facebook cares about you. They’re just there to stalk and talk behind your back. So if you feel like unfriending, go ahead.
