11 Reasons Why Princess Mia Was Your Role Model
Real Mom Reviews

I grew up watching "Princess Diaries" and "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," which I am so grateful for. Disney gave my generation a quirky relatable character to look up to. Princess Mia taught us we didn't have to be in the popular crowd and that you can overcome your fear of public speaking. This film includes many important quotes such as the famous line "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all." Not only did Princess Mia have the coolest grandma ever, but she taught us that inner beauty mattered.

1) She wasn't perfect

Learning to drive can be hard.

2) This moment

Such a sweet scene. I love how observant and caring Princess Mia is.

3) She was honest

Genuine compliments are the best kind.

4) She expressed her feelings

5) She embraced her awkwardness

6) She was realistic


We've all been there.

7) She knew to choose a guy that truly liked her for herself

She realized who's been there all along.

8) She acknowledged the world doesn't revolve around herself

We all tend to get caught up every now and then.

9) She owned up to her mistakes and apologized

People make mistakes and giving pizza never hurts.

10) She stood up for herself


She learned you can't let people walk over you.

11) She was willing to break the social norm

You go girl!

I am forever wishing Genovia was a real place so I could visit.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
