My mom, as most moms are, is full of wisdom, some that I have listened to and some that I didn’t pay any attention to. A few lessons my mom taught us girls growing up though have really stuck with me and today I am passing on some of her motherly advice to you all.
1. Always wash your face, no matter how tired/lazy/drunk you are, your skin will thank you for it
2. Don’t let the haters get you down and don’t sink to their level. Beat them on the court instead.
3. Never wait for a man to do something for you, get out there and take care of things yourself
4. Your sisters are your lifelong best friends, stop fighting with them and cherish your relationship
5. Don’t believe what others say about tape on bras, they never work
6. Quitting is not an option. If you start something your going to finish it
7. Always wear sunscreen
8. Never forget, no matter how old your mom is she can still take you down if you get mouthy
9. Don’t be afraid to take risks, you don’t want to live in regret
10. A little bit of lipstick can do wonders
11. If you can’t walk in the heels don’t wear them
12. Life is short, don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself when things get you down, get out there and live!
I could go on and on with this list but the point is my mom is amazing and I am so grateful for everything she has done for me and all the lessons she has taught me and my sisters.
Happy Belated Mother’s Day mom!
