MATRIARCHY

29 Jan 2014

If there's one thing that you should learn from your mother, it's that she is always right. Don't deny the fact you already know this. Accept it. Understanding that you are wrong and that she knows best is the more mature thing to do, anyway.

TOP 10 THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY MUMMA

  1. This post itself, my mum is always right. 
  2. Tidying your bedroom is good for your mind.
  3. You shouldn't spontaneously dye your hair with £3.50 hair dyes from a shop in town called 'Fashion HQ'. This has, however, provided a few laughs throughout the years.
  4. Life isn't meant to be lived in one place. Travelling is some of the most fun you can have. Imagine how big the world is, then imagine how small your world is. Expand your world. 
  5. Gin is really nice. 
  6. Be kind. 
  7. Feed your soul with good friends. Also good food. Cooking is really important. 
  8. You have two ears and one mouth; use them in that ratio. (One of her faves, she's drilled this into me so much that I have to believe it.)
  9. Advice isn't an instruction, it's a choice. You can tell a lot about people who choose to follow the good advice they've been given.  
  10. You can tell if a pineapple is ripe or not by pulling the little stalk from the middle of the leaves. 
N.B. Fashion HQ uses leopard print carrier bags.  Use that information as you will.
