How To Be An Everyday Queen

We aren't all next in line for Queen of Genovia, but we can still reign in our own lives.

How To Be An Everyday Queen

Unfortunately, you most likely don't have a secret grandmother who is queen of a small country and who will find you and tell you your next in line for the thrown like Mia from The Princess Diaries. However, you can still be a queen. Being royalty is a state of mind, and these are a few things you can do to be an everyday queen without having to actually rule a country.

1. Wear an invisible crown

We've all seen the scenes in movies where the princesses balance books on their heads to perfect the perfect posture. Now, you definitely don't need to balance books to get a royal looking stance, just simply remember to stand tall and confident. Wear an invisible crown and don't let it fall.

2. Perfect your strut

Having a good walk is super important for being a queen as it shows your confidence and power. Whether your strutting down the isles of the grocery store or walking in front of a group of people to give a speech, having a powerful walk will show them all that you are there to conquer whatever is ahead.

Here are a few steps to guide you in the learning process

Murder that grocery list and those pre-presentation jitters. Walk in and slay it.

3. Perfect your wave

Now that you've got your walk down, its time to work on a wave. Remember this important tip, elbow elbow wrist wrist. Now when you see people you know you can give them that royal wave as you strut on by.

4. Do things with grace

Because even if you are mattress surfing down a grand staircase you can still do it with grace like Queen Renaldi of Genovia. To truly be a queen, do everything, even your everyday tasks with confidence and optimism and your gracefulness will shine.

5. Fight for what you believe in

The biggest aspect of being a queen is fighting for what is right for your country. While you aren't making decisions for an entire country, you are controlling your life. Being an everyday queen means that you have the power to fight for what you believe in in your own life. No, you don't have a country to rule but you do have your life, and that in itself is of the upmost importance.

You have the posture, the attitude, the walk, and the wave. Maybe you don't have a country to rule or the fancy dresses and the crown. But you have the fight in you to be a true queen every single day and to inspire others to be kind, couragous, and queens of their own lives too.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
