Six things a Grown-up Woman Should Know (and do)

Get rid of ACNE and/or dull face. You know how beauty products appeal for “radiant” or “clear” skin? Clear or radiant skin doesn’t mean whitening or striving to be mestiza when you’re clearly not? It means God is in the details – extra ganda points for looking clean, smooth, and decent.  Develop a routine an remain faithful” cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize.

 To live by: a pair of fabulous heels.  Keep it classic and clean. Avoid anything with too much embellishments, no matter how tempting. Purchase from the more mainstream brands that produce quality heels.  Chances are you’ll get a pair that everyone already has, but that’s fine. Standing out isn’t the goal. Classic is subtle and familiar. Consider getting two pairs – one to weather the rain, the years; another to sport on dressier occasions.

Stop wearing chunky gold jewelry. Because nothing spells “sexual predator” than thick, golden chains rubbing your neck raw and that gaudy class ring on your pinky finger. Limit the adornment to a good watch or pieces of personal value (sentimental or otherwise).  If you’re itching for some baubles, by fancies and give them to your nieces.

Be an existing person in the eyes of the law. Get all your documentations done and store where you can find them – passport, driver’s license, voter’s ID, BIR ID card, a couple of copies of your birth certificate, it will make applying for jobs, loans, credit cards and all that grown-up stuff easier.

Go for medical check up. Illness like coronary disease, high blood pressure and breasts problems generally occur at this age. Factors like genetics and lifestyle come into play here so be vigilant about your physical condition.

Prepare a mini fiesta. Because Nigella doesn’t look like real ulam. Learn to at least cook adobo, sinigang and menudo. Phone the family lutong-bahay expert. (your mom, your lola or your tita). Extract the family recipe and serve a Sunday feast. Order in lechon to mask all imperfections.
