Knowing that 30 is two years away from me there are something that I have begun to take heed to. Things that will keep me in check and on the path that I need to be for a "better me". Below is the list of no-nos for women after 30. After the jump, 30 things every women should stop doing once she turns 30.
I've made this a memo in my Blackberry so that I can work toward this daily. Add whatever you need to make this list realistic for you....
1. Buying clothes from the junior section.-- your a grown up and they have PETITE woman sections in most stores.
2. Forgetting her parents’ birthdays.
3. Making out with her BFFs at bars for attention.
4. Making out with her boyfriend at bars for attention.
5. Filling her bed with stuffed animals (really, even one is too many).
6. Carrying a torch for anyone she hasn’t seen in the last five years.
