Whether you’re saving up for the trip of a lifetime or just setting some money aside for that dress, there are certain things in life that we girls simply cannot stay away from. You can think of these things as essentials, our life savours. And I’m using the word girl here in a flexible manner alright! From being a funky and weird teenager to a being a classy and sassy, 60 year old, girls have a set of things they can’t do without.
Here’s a list of eight such things that we girls can’t live without. If you dare to take even one of these away from us, we’ll either feel lost, or you’ll get to see the most evil side of us which could make you rename us a witch as well. These things keep us sane, away from the brink of insanity. Now, let’s see what these lifesavers are, shall we?
1. Red Lipsticks
Who doesn’t like a red lipstick, right girls? There are countless days when I wake up feeling a barrage of not-so-good emotions. I even cry as soon as I wake up. But I don’t want to make it evident to the world. And if I have an important meeting to attend on such an occasion, you know what I do to pull myself together? I take a hot shower then dab some makeup on, and put on my favorite red lipstick. It works great as an instant pick-me-up. It makes me feel like a boss lady who is ready to conquer the world. It is also backed by the fact that red is the classiest color to sport on one’s lips.
2. Diet Coke
Well, personally, I think it’s a deserving addition to this list, and I think I can vouch for all ladies when I say that it’s the greatest invention when it comes to soft drinks, in the history of mankind. It’s an addictive drink. So much that it has become an integral part of our lifestyle, because, obviously, we can’t just sip on some red wine or scotch every time we feel thirsty and by thirsty, I don’t mean the thirst for water.
3. Hair Straightener/Curler/Blow Dryer
These hair accessories have the power to turn around your bad-hair day into a great one. If you wake up looking like you have a lion’s mane, then your hair-straightener becomes your savior. If you’re bored of the straight hair, then you can add some wavy curls to it with the help of a curler. And we all know how handy a blow dryer is whenever we take those last minute showers before heading out of our homes. Who needs a hair stylist when we have these hair styling tools at our disposal?
4. Netflix
I honestly can’t be friends with you if you aren’t a Netflix person, and well, who would be! A good Netflix session for me is akin to getting therapy after a long, tiring day. If you are thinking I am crazy, then I think you haven’t witnessed the miracle of Netflix’s replenishing powers. In fact, I choose to spend my evenings bingeing on Netflix rather than going out. I believe in bonding over watching TV shows than conversations over a cup of coffee. So do a lot of other girls.
5. Instant Noodles
Instant noodles are a boon to the womankind. I remember my mom making them for me every time I would get hunger pangs during odd hours of the day. They are easy to make and they taste great as well. You can just top them with grated cheese and ketchup and voila! You have a gourmet meal. And it’s light on the pocket too!
6. Chewing Gum
Wouldn’t you agree that chewing gum is a seriously under-appreciated food item? It comes to your rescue when you have to rush to your friend’s place without brushing, and it’s the perfect last-minute solution for refreshing your breath before you lock lips with your bae after a hearty meal. It saves you from serious bad-breath embarrassments. A nifty tool that saves the day for us girls!
7. Makeup Remover Wipes
We sure do spend hours on our makeup when we are getting ready to head out. The real struggle is when we have to get rid of the stubborn makeup. Just washing our face with water isn’t sufficient and often results in making us look like raccoons. In times like these, makeup remover wipes are a boon. They make our lives easier and help us get rid of makeup in a jiffy.
8. Pizza
If there is one triangle that women do love, it has to be the pizza slice. Okay, irrespective of its shape or size, we still love it. I honestly feel that a pizza tastes even better when I’m drunk (giggles). Woodfire pizzas, sourdough pizzas, thin crust pizzas or the ones loaded with cheese, they are love, pure love at first sight.
Whether it’s using Netflix as my therapist or using noodles to satisfy my midnight hunger pangs, these are the things that keep me going every day. If you want to make other additions to the list, let us know in the comments.
