Things Every Woman in her Teens, Twenties, Thirties and Forties should know.

Really Interesting Stuff!

A Teen Woman should:

Value her Body and Respect herself: Now that you are womanly, don't get enticed by sex, there is still a lot of time for that and you really want to save yourself for that special someone. Abstinence is the best. If you absolutely must, please use protection. STD's are real and can ruin your future. Respect yourself by treating yourself the way you want other people to treat you.
Your Body is an Art do not compare it to others: You most likely will never have the body of the models in magazines, more often than not, they are heavily photo shopped. Eat well and exercise as often as you can. Be happy with what you have, if not work harder but sensibly at it.
Read a Lot:
Attractive girls are intelligent girls, read good books, Journal a lot too, you'll be able to track your mental developmental progress and find it interesting when you read it in your twenties or thirties.
Do not be a drama queen: Listen to your parents, they are not trying to ruin your life. Don't post negativity on social media, it might seem cool, but there are people laughing at how dumb your post was, besides negativity never does any good just more harm. Keep  all things simple and fun
Don't dress the way you do not want to be addressed: It might look cool to reveal all your lady parts, but it will attract the wrong guys who just want a piece. Let a boy fall in love with who you are not just your body.

A Woman in Her 20's should
Build meaningful relationships: By now, you should have been able to figure out who is a bad influence in your life or who is a fair weathered friend. As you get older so should your relationships mature, you do not need to be around people who are harmful to you in every area of your life, intellectually and emotionally to start with.

Use your time and Money on education: That is probably the wisest thing, you can do. You are very unlikely to regret being educated. Use your time and money to increase your knowledge especially in areas of your chosen career path. Talk with professionals and get advice on real working experiences from them. Clothes and shoes are nice and important too but education comes first.
Take care of your body: Most important is to build a beauty routine that will continue through out your life, get into the habit of cleansing and moisturizing your face. Years later you will be extremely glad you did. Also eat right and exercise as often as you can. This is your body, you cannot replace it or buy a new one. You will live in it all your life.
Be financially savvy: Know how much you make and what you spend it on. Establish savings habits. If you can take care of that now, it will take care of you when you need it the most.
Fall in Love with a man because he is sensible and emotionally mature and not because he is good looking: Very self explanatory, Right!


A Woman in her 30's should be confident enough to say no without feeling bad: Actually this is for all ages, but at thirty there's no need to try to save face especially when it is detrimental to you. It is important to be kind, but when asked for favors that are too difficult or nearly impossible for you without setting you back on your goals, politely decline, reasonable friends will understand. Simple.
Stop Faking it: You know the words, "fake it till you make it?" No more. You do not need to try and impress anyone anymore. The people who will most likely stick with you are the people who know and love you for who you are. Quit trying to be "miss got it all together" there is still some time left to be that. Just be real. End of story.
Have no excuse for looking unkempt or tacky: Run a brush through your hair, take care of your body, wear properly fitting clothes and dont advertise intimate body parts. Less is more.  A hint is tasteful and leaves a lot more to the imagination. Demure cleavage necklines are better than showing the actual cleavage  A mini skirt is the top pick of a teen not a thirty something. If you really want to show off your legs, do it at the beach or with a skirt that has a decent slit. If you cant get your eyes of a mini skirt then please tone down the top.Invest in key pieces. A nice shirt and jacket, well tailored pants, a nice black or red dress, a beautiful clutch purse, a decent bag, good quality silk scarf for updating outfits, a delicate signature fragrance and at least three pairs of good shoes:high heeled pumps, strappy sandals and flat shoes. Thats enough to start with.
Be on a good career path: Honestly, even being a full time mom is an important role and while you don't get paid financially, you are more likely to raise responsible children when you spend more time than not, with them. However while Juggling motherhood, you can spend some time doing part time work or voluntary work.  Adding value to a company or people not directly related to you is a mood booster and is something every thirty something year old woman should consider.
Be in a loving relationship or non at all: At thirty if you are not married, you should be in a healthy relationship or not be in one at all. Even though this applies to all ages, at thirty you should be more sensible to love not only with your heart but with your head and thinking hat on.

A Woman in her 40's should:

Get regular check up.

Eye Exams: 1-3 years

Pap test and Pelvic exam:

 Every 1 to 3 years
Thyroid: Every 5 years
Mole check: Every year
Mammogram: Every 1 to 2 years
Blood glucose: Every 3 years starting at age 45

Also take daily vitamins that enhance women's health.

Be comfortable in her own skin: Yes some parts may be heading south but that doesn't mean you should start having body woes. Know that a good push up bra is worth the best cosmetic surgery in the world. Spanks are a girls best friend not diamonds. You are what you eat and the best skin care is no longer the most expensive.
Sunscreen is good for you so is maintaining an active exercise lifestyle.
Have a solid grip on her finances: Whether you are self employed or an employee, at age 40 you should have some money saved up for yourself. Learn to splurge once in a little. Treat yourself to a weekend get away with girl friends or on a luxury watch that can be a generational heirloom in the future.
How to converse with anyone in a social or non social setting: Be confident, loosen up and not be uptight. At social events for example, approach someone, a person, not a group, and ask how he or she knows the host. After that, be authentic and interested and ask questions, and others will float over and join in. A good host will have considered the mix of people, so when you arrive, ask, "Who should I meet?" In a non social setting, smile, compliment someone. You never know who the person may be or if all they needed was some kindness from a stranger.
That you are almost the same as being in your twenties, only wiser and less flexible at the joints.

Every woman regardless of her age should also:
Live and Live some more!
Live without fear, live without worry, live with love for everything you do, and everyone in it. Live a life that has some meaning to your soul, listen to your body and mind - when either of them say, "That's enough" give it a rest!
Give, give and give some more. You don't own anything anyway! Give up notions of permanence, Nothing except eternal life is forever. Have gratitude. Sleep well. Have a diverse set of friends.
 Love, love and love some more: Everything is important, and nothing is important, at the same time!
 Keep it simple. Absolutely nothing will be destroyed if you miss your plane, but it may be more fun if you catch it. Tell the truth at all times but in love. Not everyone will "get it", but you can't worry about that too much. Find people who are far superior to you in everything you do, and treasure them. Know that you will meet someone who will crush you at something you're really good at!
 Not compare, except to marvel. Everything is probably overrated, but don't work too hard to find out - it's just not important.
