Here is some great advice from women to women in their 20's. (You can find the full editorials on ivillage.)
- Start a good exercise routine now because it only gets tougher as you get older.
- Take time for yourself. Start "me time" now so it becomes an expectation in your routine.
- It's easy in your 20's to fall asleep with your make-up on, eat pizza at 11:00 pm, or only get 4 hours of sleep and have to function the next day. Try not to let that happen too often because your skin needs proper care, your metabolism slows down, and life responsibilities require at least 8 hours of sleep.
As a 30-something, my suggestion for those in their 20's is don't settle and don't make excuses. If you have a question, find the answer before you make a decision. Also, financial decisions can have an impact on the rest of your life. They won't excuse your $10,000 credit card bill just because you were a struggling college student. That will reflect negatively on your credit score, which will have a big effect on your future buying potential. So if you can, start saving now. Allocate a certain amount, even if it's only $10 a paycheck, to be taken out of your check. You won't miss it if you don't see it!
