Have GIRL Time

If you're a girl like me that prefers the company of boys who can often be crude, rude and even disgusting! you may not realize how much fun it can be to have other girls to spend time with and do girl things with.
I'm NOT a make up girl. I never have been but occasionally I have allowed my girl friends to make me up and do my hair and they really enjoy that. It never hurt me and sometimes actually was fun. It didn't mean I have to all of a sudden become a make up girl if that's not who I am...it was just an experience to have and enjoy and embrace for a change. I'm STILL not a make up girl...I used to wear mascara and eyeliner and that was all but it's been years since I have done that. Beginning in December I went for a make over with my girl friend on her birthday and I did enjoy the experience yet again. I'm sure there were over 20 products on my face, lips and eyes and it didn't really even feel that excessive at all and I know I looked very pretty after too. I enjoyed the experience and I'm grateful to my friend for making me come out of my house (read haven) to DO something different than my norm! :) Thanks Melli! xo
Here is a pic of before:

And a pic of after:

Not something I'm gonna do every day and probably not ever again really but I did have fun and I enjoyed the attention and the conversation so it's a good memory I KEEP! ;)

Girls SHOULD...
CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
However it is you do this it is good for growth and the betterment of your own self.
When I was a single mom of two I took correspondence courses. I have four diplomas. Many of my friends don't know or remember this about me because I've done nothing in a career way with these credentials. It simply gave me something to strive for and work toward. Something to keep my mind occupied. The brain is also a muscle and if you do not exercise it then it can stagnate.
I am also guilty of having done that through out my life. I far prefer when my mind is pushed and challenged and working if not at it's best at least better than when it is not working!!
Find something you fear or avoid and challenge yourself to face it!

Girls SHOULD...
LEARN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.
I think learning a new language is a great challenge for your brain. Even if you don't learn it in full but, just learn enough to have a passable conversation with someone it could be delightful!
To this point I don't know enough of any for a conversation but I have learned some words from different ones here and there and I find it both challenging and FUN!
It helps if you have a friend with enough time to help with pronunciation and meaning and to practice conversation with as well but, there are also many helpful programs online that can help as well.
Give it a try!

Girls SHOULD...
TRY SOMETHING NEW.
This can be anything you've always wanted to do and never tried because you didn't think you could or were scared of it or it felt out of your element. You NEVER know when trying something new could ignite the passion inside you and open a new world of things and people and ideas to you.
It's ok if something really has no interest for you. You don't have to try things you don't want to but, if you have had a thought or an idea that it is something you'd like to give a chance then I think you should!
It can't hurt to try something new and see if it is something you like. Maybe, even some of the things you think you would NOT like would become a favourite past time if you just give them a try.
Go for it!!
