A Gal's Survival Guide

Hello loves! How are you all?! Fine as wine, I hope! ;)

OK, so, I've been thinking about writing a post like this for a while now and I'm finally getting around to it. Anywho, I've been working on a list of must-have's for we particularly girly girls for quite some time, and I thought it'd be nice to share it with you lovely gals!

  1. Every girl needs at least one favorite nail polish that they know the brand & color name by heart.
  2. Ladies, we all need at least one satiny, silky nightgown that makes us feel beautiful, comfortable, and oh-so-feminine! My personal reccomendation is, of course, for a lovely vintage find such as a Miss Elaine or Olga. They certainly do make a girl feel lovely!
  3. Red. Lipstick. I think every girly girl needs a go-to shade of red lipstick (or gloss, your preference) for those days when you want to feel sexy, timelessly classy, & exude a take-charge kind of attitude.
  4. Pearls. Earrings, a necklace, a bracelet...whatever floats your boat, girl. Pearls are another classic go-to that go with virtually ANYthing and have such a pretty, girly, dainty touch.
  5. Two words: Kitten. Heels. If you don't own a pair, honey, you need to grab that purse & keys and hop on over to the nearest shoe store! As a gal who can't really manuever in *high* heels, a kitten heel is my best friend. ;) They're not too high, or too short, easy to walk in, comfortable enough to wear all day (even at work), AND they're just downright sexy.
  6. Spanx. Again, they are essential! I don't care if you're a size six, girl, Spanx can (& will!) change your life! Not just because they ensure a perfectly smooth foundation, but they are comfortable, too!
  7. A signature scent. While not necessary, a lovely fragrance can enhance your mood & attitude, especially if it's one that reminds you of your favorite vacation or your first date with that special someone. ;)
  8. Bubble bath. Or bath salts. Or bath soak. Whatever you prefer. Anything to enhance a nice, relaxing hot bath at the end of a tiring, stressful day.
  9. A good moisturizer. Moisturizing is one of many best friends a girl can have. When you moisturize your skin, you help combat icky dryness AND leave your skin touchably smooth.
  10. Have an activity or hobby that relaxes you. We all know how busy & stressful life can be at times, gals, so it's important to slow down and take a break with a fun craft project, a magazine, or simply lounging in your favorite chair for a bit.

And there y'all have it: the Southerner's top-ten essentials for a girly-girl such as herself. ;) Hope you all enjoyed it...and now go settle down with something good to read & a glass (or cup!) of tea for some "you" time, girls!

XoXo,
