Today is another 5 Do’s and a Don’t and boy do I have a treat for you today! Jackie is FAB-U-LOUS! We were paired up for a blog swap and it was like “meeting” the bff I never knew I needed. Our lives are quite similar aside from the fact that she’s blonde and has a law degree 🙂 If you haven’t read her blog you are missing out and I demand you go follow her now!
Here’s Jackie!!!
Hi friends! I was so excited when Neely asked me to write a post for 5 Do’s and a Don’t! 🙂 Neely and I met through a blog swap last year and have been friends ever since! 🙂 I typically blog over at The Roaring Twenties…and Thirties. (I turned 30 last year, so I adjusted the blog name..haha).
Anyhoo, this is me… I’m the one with the curls. Obviously. 😉 The other person is my boyfriend, Eric.

I’ll get right to the list. Hope you like!
Do! Learn to just say no. You can’t be everything to everyone. Or at least you can’t be everything to everyone and still maintain your sanity, that is. 🙂
Do! Always carry
a pair of fun earrings in your purse. You
never know when you’ll want to dress up your look for some reason…or for no reason at all! Plus, when I’m too lazy to wash my hair, fun earrings make my dirty ponytail look less lazy.
Do! Go ahead and rock that top/dress/shoes…even if you’re worried you’ll be overdressed.
Overdressed is better than underdressed anyway. And as long as you feel good,
who cares?!

Do! Order dessert. I know I don’t even have to explain. When in doubt, always order dessert. 😉
Do! Make a little time for yourself daily…even just 20 minutes. Life is BUSY these days, right? Take a moment to do something completely and totally for you. Stop and smell the roses…or take your pup for a walk, read a book, give yourself a mani/pedi, read some of your fav blogs, etc. 🙂
Don’t... forget to say thank you… for the gift, for someone holding the door open, when your guy buys you dinner, for the kind words from a friend. “Thank you” is a pretty fantastic phrase.
aw such a good list! yes..i always say better to be overdressed then under…makes me feel good getting all ‘fancy’ heading out…esp since i don’t get out much! ha
i need to do the earring thing….i guess first i need to invest in really cute ones!
Great list! I’m gonna go check out her blog now! 🙂
Great list! I always wear fancier earrings when my hair is looking a little rough– haha.
Great list girly!! Love em
This is such a great list! I agree it is always better to be over dressed then under dressed!
YAY! Love you, Neely! 🙂
great do’s and don’t 🙂
great list, I love following her blog! I especially like the take time for yourself…sometimes i get so darn busy with everything else I forget to take a second for moi!
Love her list and I love her blog!!
I love these today!! Such good advice 🙂
Loved this!!! Never thought to bring earrings along with me!
great list girl 🙂 love her blog and i so agree with fancy earrings- i need to do that now!
What a great list! She sounds so sweet! Of to check her out! 🙂
I think this is my favorite Do’s and Don’t to date! I agree with 100% on this list!
Love this!
And yes, a little daily time just for about 20 minutes is the best possible way to stay sane during very hectic, dramatic and even sad days. Best thing ever! And I believe something simple like “Thank You” can change a person’s day instantly. And it’s polite!!! 😀
Great post!
Great list!
Love the earrings tricks! Isn’t it funny how you can be wearing a hoodie and a ponytail, but if you put in some dangly earrings, you look like you’re trying? 🙂
