FITD: The Rules

What does it mean to be FITD? I have given some thought to what my mom would say, and what I believe as well. What are you thoughts?

• Have empathy.

• Be kind.

• "Yes and "No" are followed by "Sir" and "M'am."

• Use a good moisturizer. It doesn't have to be expensive. And you're never too young.

• There IS such a thing as too much make-up and too much jewelry. When it doubt, find a few key items that work for you. Or take some off.

• Pay yourself first.

• Education is priceless; it always belongs to you.

• Know the importance of packaging: the outside is just as important as the inside (my mother: per wrapping presents), but extends to other things as well.
  

• Just Say No (thank you, Nancy Reagan) to tattoos and piercings (unless that tattoo should happen to be in the shape of Texas on your foot. Then it's all good. :) ).

• A simple bouquet of flowers brightens up a room.

• Have a sense of your own history.
  And if you can't, make one up: channel Coco Chanel.
  

• Know when to splurge and to save.
