1. taking eye cream seriously in your 30s — especially a thick, hydrating one. The skin around your eyes gets dry FAST, and you’ll wish you babied it sooner. 2. learning to mix expensive pieces with inexpensive ones — nobody needs a $5,000 outfit to look like they spent $5,000. 3. creating traditions with your kids while they’re little — the random things you do over and over are usually the things they remember most. 4. starting before you feel ready — there will never be a perfect time, someone will always be better, and you WILL fail at things. That’s how you learn. 5. buy the leopard fishtail dress. Create the event later — life’s too short to wait for an invitation. 6. buying the good version ONCE — instead of buying five almost-right versions first. 7. realizing people will judge what they don’t personally value — Botox and lasers may seem ridiculous to someone who’d rather spend that money elsewhere. That doesn’t make wanting them vain. 8. taking your teeth seriously before they start showing their age — “good teeth” means a lot more than just keeping them white. 9. prioritizing muscle instead of just being skinny — muscle gets harder to build and easier to lose as you age. 10. Take the vacation. Eat the croissant. Designer bags and nice things are great, but the memories you make with your family are the real luxury.
