20 Things Every Girl Should Know | The Lifestylista

Hello, my darlings! How are you gorgeous ladies today? I’ve recently been giving a lot of thought to old-school grace and charm, and been thinking of writing a few articles on that. So I thought I’d start with a fun, light topic. Things every girl should know. Of course, I can think of 50 things every girl should know. But I won’t make that long a list. Today I’m just gonna write about what pops into my head, and maybe you girls can chime in and say what you feel are the things every girl should know.

And who’s the aforementioned lifestylista? And how’s that related to this article? I just made that word up. Because this article isn’t about things every girl should know love-wise, or health-wise. It’s just about lifestyle. And personality.

Some of these things have an old-school flare about them, which is interesting because they seem all the more charming in this age! It’s not meant to be a rulebook or anything, but merely a conversation or opinion. A guidebook of sorts on being gracious, but also savvy.

Who is a Lifestylista

In my opinion, a lifestylista is someone who celebrates her life, and curates the things that make up her lifestyle with careful consideration. She’s someone who is not just aware of her interests, passions and opinions, but is also proud of them. She’s someone who cares to not just make herself look good, but also her home. She’s someone who fills her life with inspiring people and experiences, so that each moment is worthwhile.

That’s essentially what I want this blog to be about. It is the spirit of #slub (Read more about Shilpa’s Lifestyle Club).

Being charming is a quality that never goes out of fashion. People love you for that! And having a good lifestyle – that makes you love yourself! Here’s 20 things every girl should know – charm and lifestyle related:
