Girl Code!

Guy Code is one of my favorite shows to watch. I love to hear what most guys are thinking, usually because they're so candid. This doesn't mean that I completely understand because after all, I am a woman and despite the recent uprising, I can't think like a man. Anyway, what that show has inspired to me to do is to write my own rules/advice, but for the sensible woman:

                                                              

• Have your own $$. Gone are the days of the helpless female. Life never works out the way that you want it to so never ever go anywhere without your own dinero. You never want to be in a place where the lack of money inhibits you from escaping from a disagreeable situation. If you've got a job/career, you can provide for yourself. No excuses.

• Dress according to your body type. Or don't...but this isn't for the woman who's in denial about what is aesthetically pleasing for her body. You don't want to be that girl whose dress/skirt is so short, your vagina makes several introductions to everyone in the room...and then you wonder why you've suddenly been swarmed by salivating men...not a good look. Remember, "Your clothes should be tight enough to show you're a woman, and loose enough to show you're a lady." You see that word that's underlined right? If you disagree, get some standards :-)

• Check your emotions at the door. Get a hold of yourself before you go anywhere. Have you ever been out with friends and a song comes on and you start thinking of *insert name here* and you get pissed and hysterical at the same time? Yeah, that's your fault for going out, knowing good and well you should've stayed home and dealt with your emotions. We know when we are ready to be out in public. Your friends will understand; shoot, if they're good friends, they'll stay with you and have a Waiting to Exhale male bashing/ negative emotion purging party complete with wine and one sober friend who won't let you drunk dial that bastard who did you dirty :-)

• If you don't have a workout regime, get one. Certain body parts become softer and flabbier as we get older. For instance, I don't like the gym. I prefer the studio (dance/yoga/pilates/Zumba) because the gym is boring to me. I have to do other activities that are fun and will give me a good workout as well. If you don't want to go to either the gym or studio, do something at home. Jump ropes are $3 at Walmart! Turn to the Fitness channel or steal some moves from those annoying Insanity informercials. Borrow a workout DVD from a friend. Stop being lazy and take care of your body. It's worth it. 

• Stay clean. The days where we smelled like Baby Magic lotion and Johnson & Johnson baby powder are a distant memory. The summer is still here, which means you should be showering daily at the bare minimum. If you're out, and you can't shower, get a small toiletry bag and fill it with travel sized deodorant, wipes (baby or feminine), etc; trust me, you and everyone else around you will be thankful.  We're expected to smell good. It's weird and uncomfortable if you don't. 

• Get a hobby. There was a time when I found myself bored after work. After a very active high school and college life, this was not going to work for me; I needed a balance between business and pleasure. Partying got old in college. So I joined a dance studio, signed up to be an ESL tutor, started this blog, did some research and found photography and outdoor sports groups. It really is enriching to have fun things to do when I come home after working 8+ hours. If you don't have something entertaining in your life, do some research and start having a more fulfilled life!
