On my #talk30tome contribution. I’ll cut to the chase, here’s 30 things I’ve learned in my 30 years of existence:

- Moisturizers are game changers in skin care- Wear sunscreen daily. 

- Never generalize a person in one word. 

- Hold on to basic principles but let go of other things. What seemed important now may be inconsequential later. 

- Learn how to differentiate facts from opinions and it will help you choose your battles properly.

-  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but correct people if they’re misconstruing facts. 

- It’s never too late to learn how to swim.

- Learn how to cook perfect sunny side up eggs. 

- In intimate relationships, common deep rooted values are more important than shared interests. Differences of likes and dislikes can be negotiated and it can change throughout. But values never change. 

- Learn to laugh at your insecurities so they have nothing to use against you. 

- Challenge yourself to find the good and beautiful thing inside everyone you meet. It's your job to find it, not their job to show you.

- Uninstall facebook and watch how your daily routines change. Suddenly, you have a lot of time in your hands. 

- Disconnect yourself from seeking validations from the likes and comments of social media friends because most of them aren’t your friends at all.

- Read AT LEAST one book a year

- Be unapologetic for the intellect, talents and passions that you have. Never let people make you feel ashamed about it in order to fit in. 

- A cornetto gives a quick fix on a bad day. 

- If cornetto doesn’t work, get a glass of wine or two…or maybe more.

- Take plenty of pictures and make physical copies of them

- It’s okay to change your opinion when you learn new information. 

- Learn how to accept compliments with a “thank you”. Same goes for criticisms wherein “thank you” is still an appropriate response.

- Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday and your skin will thank you for it

- You need to love someone at some point who makes you hate what you've become, to be sure of who you are and who you never want to be again.

- Get comfortable with being misunderstood, disparaged, or ignored. The trick is to be too busy doing your own work.

- Get a dog. or a cat. or a plant. or all of them. Learn to nurture something other than yourself

- Stay curious about how the world works.

- For ladies, switch to menstrual cups. Life changing is an understatement when I did. 

- Exercise, regardless of what type. Run, skip rope, do yoga, box. Sweat it out. Metabolism slows down in your late 20’s

- Be specific and upfront in saying what you want. Most of the issues and problems we encounter happens because we’re too afraid to say what we specifically want.

- Learn your love language. At the same time, get to know and practice the love language of the people you value. 

- Start saving money.

It’s true that as you get older, you want lesser things. 

I whispered a small prayer last night for the world to finally have a vaccine, for my friends and loved ones to be away from harm, and to eat my favorite cake… the last one fulfilled by OJ by buying me two!

I spent the weekend in a cabin with 3 of my favorite people. I brought in my 30th birthday surrounded by so much love and peace. Spent some time reflecting on the highs and lows of my twenties. I’m so thankful for the growth and strength I’ve gained. I’m excited to see what this year of life has in store for. With God by side I’m ready to walk through this year. The best is yet to come #dirty30 #talk30tome #30thbirthday #happybirthday #happybirthdaytome #perfectlyimperfectbrittany #30flirtyandthriving #wisconsin #wisconsindells #peace #love #happiness #friendship #family #thebestisyettocome #rip20s (at Christmas Mountain Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Q4orbnuPi/?igshid=diyguf7t30lg
