THINGS WOMAN SHOULD KNOW

Telling it like it is

"A Woman Should Have" – by Maya Angelou

Posted by Lin on August 16, 2007

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she's content to leave behind….

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …..

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .

one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who lets her cry…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

a feeling of control over her destiny.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to fall in love without losing herself.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

that her childhood may not have been perfect…but its over…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to live alone… even if she doesn't like it…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..

whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

where to go…
be it to her best friend's kitchen table…
or a charming inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

what she can and can't accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…

UPDATE:Ayanda NOT the author of "A Woman Should Have" The real author of this beautiful poem about women is actually Pamela Redmond Satran!

4Ways for Man to wear a Summer Scarf

Some of our man are fashionista's,this is 1 of the ways they can look fabulous this Summer. Clearly there is nothing wrong in wearing a Scarf in summer.

four ways to wear the men's summer scarf.

If you're working with an ultra-thin fabric or a bandanna, why not roll it into a neckerchief and tie it in the front, Hemingway style.

The longer the scarf, the easier to throw it over your shoulder in this basic loop.
Unlike chunky winter-wool counterparts, summer-weight scarves can wrap multiple times around your neck, without swallowing your head in the process.

To add even more personality or a stylish accent, you can layer up two scarves. Keep in mind that there should be a subtle contrast in colour or pattern, as this allows the complementary fabrics to stand out.

The scarf that Ralph Lauren Rugby have used in this how to is from the Key West-summer collection
