Life: Rules For The Modern Lady

Hello there! I know it's been a while and I apologise (again) but I've been on holiday and all sorts since my last post. I was lucky enough to have a beautiful week away with my mum and sister and all her kids and partner and in-laws. Phew! It was hectic! But a good time nevertheless. Anyway, I'm back now, doing good and raring to get on with it! I also have a brand new blog filled with my lovely creative scribblings!

I'm forever musing about life, the universe and everything, just in case you hadn't guessed that by now. I somehow ended up thinking the other day about how gender roles and rules just weren't the same any more. This is by no means a bad thing but it made me think how certain etiquette that was just expected from ladies in particular has been pushed aside but not necessarily forgotten. To a certain extend, in general, women are still expected to be dainty and pretty and delicate, but this just isn't the case for a lot of us.

Which is when I decided that I would write some rules for the modern lady. We can be classy as hell, all while rocking a pink afro if we want. As a disclaimer, I should probably say these rules aren't for everyone, they are based on my own experiences and feelings and I wanted to share what I thought.

So, after that long winded introduction, here are Talie Louise's Rules for the Modern Lady:

• Always walk with liquid eyeliner
• Only leave the house after doing a long shot, close-up and extreme close-up in a mirror
• Always do make-up in natural light if possible
• Never forget painkillers
• Baby wipes are only suitable in an emergency and not for month of constant use
• Always walk with a notepad and two pens in case one runs out
• When bored, chop it off

• Always charge your smartphone until the second you leave the house
• Tumblr is your friend
• Lip balm is your friend
• Headphones are your best friend
• Boys are, and always will be, stinky
• It's more than acceptable to have a pint instead of wine
• Subtly perving on guys with your friends is always acceptable
• You're never too old to demand ask your mummy mother to make you hot chocolate
• You're never too old for snuggles
• Farts will always be funny
• It is acceptable to walk around sans trousers at every opportunity
• It's always okay to be afraid of the dark
• When in doubt, stick a filter on it

Those are what I've got at the moment, but the list feels incomplete to me so you'll probably get a part two. Maybe even a part three! 

That's me for now, until next time!
