We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

Queen B always had the best life lessons.

It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

You never give up on the people you love.

Always know your own worth.

Don't take shit from anyone.

Tights are not pants. But leggings might be...

It's always okay to break down once in a while.

There's nothing that can't be solved by a shopping spree

Stay classy, even if you're pissed off.

You never need to act on your emotions.

No matter how rough it gets, it could always be worse.

Be dedicated to your own success.

And if people don't love you, that's okay.
