21. Scrub all the floors at least twice each year. And I mean really scrub them, with a new brush and down on your hands and knees.
22. Never go more than 3 days without doing some sort of exercise. Working out has given me the necessary expenditure of energy that subsequently keeps my emotions in check. I believe that the thousands of miles I have run through the years have probably saved a few lives.
23. You. Must. Laugh. Often and a lot.
24. Realize that nothing in life is linear. Expect this truth.
25. Buy quality haircare products. From your stylist. At a salon. Throw the bottles of Pantene out the window!
26. Read or at least listen to books often. Mix it up with both fiction and nonfiction varieties. I am always surprised at the rabbit holes I end up going down as the result of reading an excellent book. And I am also amazed at how my interest is piqued by subjects I never even knew I was interested in!
27. Cheap beer. Expensive whiskey. And red Powerade if there's too much of either.
28. Don't settle. Don't tolerate. Don't allow disrespect. Walk the f*& away and don't look back.
29. Find things that you love the scent of and use them often. I love the smell of French NUXE products for my shower, Mrs. Meyer's cleaners when I clean house, and Tide laundry soap for laundry. Palo santo incense, lemon candles, and sandalwood essential oil make things smell great anywhere else.
30. Have traditions and rituals, seasonally and daily. I always listen to the same Christmas music when wrapping Christmas presents. I have used the same Halloween cookie cutters for ginger cookies when October hits. I drink a glass of water every morning before I do anything else. I always make chocolate truffles for Valentine's Day. You get the idea. Those little traditions are the cornerstones of life.
