10 Things Every Woman Should Have

I was flipping through an old Allure Magazine the other day during a spring cleaning fit, and I came across an article titled, "10 Things Every Woman Should Have" with fashion icon Oscar de la Renta. It was a cute list compiled with the fashion must haves: a small bag, black lace dress, etc. And not that I didn't agree, but  I immediately complied a list of my own. (Numbers 1 and 5 are from his list though- what can I say, they were good.)

10 Things Every Woman Should Have

#1. A Great Romance.
Every woman should experience being in love. We are so guarded sometimes and to allow yourself to love someone with no question or judgement is very freeing.

#2. A Bestie.
I don't believe in freinemies. Either you is or you ain't my friend. There is no gray area. So when you know that your girls (or guys) around you are ride or die, you are a force to be reckoned with.

#3. A Badd Pair of Shoes.
You must have a pair of shoes that not only make you walk with that supermodel swag, but it should make you feel like everything around you is in slow motion.




#4. A Fabulous Lipstick.
Nothing like a great lipstick. A truely fabulous lipstick will have you checking out your reflection in just about everything.

#5. A Confident Walk.
While you're wearing your fab shoes and shade of lipstick, you gotta werk it, boo. Like Oscar de la Renta says, "You have to walk like you have three men walking behind you."

#6. A Purpose.
I'm not talking about the age old, "meaning of life", but something that drives you and is bigger than yourself.

#7. Emergency Credit Card.
This is self explanatory, but yeah, there are times when something comes up and your bank account is on zero. Sometimes a woman has to get herself out of a situation or two. And no, that new MAC lipstick does not count as an emergency, believe me I learned that the hard way.

#8. A Mantra.
A mantra is a statement that you tell yourself when things are getting hard or when you need that extra boost in your step. My fav mantra, " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

#9. Good Support.
A good bra and a pair of Spanks can change your life and a woman should never, ever, ever leave the house without one (or both) on. Take pride in how you look and straighten that 'ish out. Breasts should be lifted and curves should be smooth.

#10. Confidence.
Having the ability to talk to anyone with confidence is not just a social skill, it's a life skill and it's the best accessory a woman can have.

Well, that was my list. What's yours?

Wishing you Love, Peace and Soul Deep Beauty!
