Ellie at 4, so sweet!
Eloise is going to be 15 this year (eek!!)…
And a thought has been on my mind for a while.
Ellie-now, bless her!
I have been thinking of all the good advise I wish I’d had at her age. All the little and big stuff that would have made my last 15 years easier.
So I thought I’d write it down, (and share it with you guys) .
Not sure it’ll help, but its what Ive learnt…
Well the important stuff anyways ;D
I will start with the small stuff ….
Beauty…. Don’t wear to much make-up-
There is nothing worse than looking like you tried too hard (except maybe not trying hard enough 
)
1) So follow this simple rule, if your wearing a “in your face” lipstick then go easy on the eye shadow, and visa versa.
It always tends to look best. Unless your Scarlett Johansson, and I have my suspicions that she is an alien or robot from planet “way too good looking and sexy” so she doesn’t count.
2) The same applies for jewelery. A good necklace needs no earings and a good pair of earings need no necklace.
3) Don’t EVER shave your legs with your dads razor. Or you’ll spend at least 3 weeks in agony, covering them up and waiting for the skin to grow back.
I know this one to my cost… hot summer of 1989 ;D
House work-
1) iron shirts when they are still damp…. That’s all I really honestly know about the strange art of house work that’s worth repeating!
Love..Life…& beyond -
My dad always used to say….”Helen, You Can’t Polish a Turd”….
This applies to so many things….a huge spot, a bad hair cut. But most of all to the opposite sex.
If you follow this, you will save yourself allot of time and heart ache and you’ll leave yourself open to someone really good!
To be filed along with leopards and spots ;D
2) Don’t be overly hard on yourself and your looks. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t say they look at photos of themselves when they were younger and wish they’d realized how hot they were!
I am not kidding you, I know right now you don’t think your not pretty, thin or hot enough, but you are!
You will look back at photos of yourself in 10 years time and go, blimey I was gorgeous! (or at least passable!) Why couldn’t I see it?
The evil thing of it is, by then its to late. So enjoy it now. ;D
This is me just 3 years ago, I remember looking at this and thinking I looked old and fat. Wish I was that old and fat now, is all I can say about that!
3) …. and most importantly, If there is something you want to do, don t be afraid to do it.
Even if its a bit frightening. Things you don’t do when your young can cause bitterness and uneasiness when your older.
So in the great words of Nike, ” Just Do It!” (this does not apply to drugs, alcohol or boys.. just in case you were wondering) ;D
So thats it! i very much doubt she will listen, don’t think I would have done at her age either! ;D
