“Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where you backbone ought to be” — Clementine Paddleford
How to be Smarter: People that hold themselves to high standards tend to make better friends and romantic partners than people full of excuses.
How to be Prettier: To the casual observer (which almost all boys and most girls are), the difference in appearance in someone wearing five inch heels vs. someone wearing 3 inch heels is small. There is really no need to tower around in impossibility high heels if a shorter heel would make you much more comfortable.
How to be (less) Awkward: I spent an awfully long time browsing this zany retail site last night.

I love love love this site. It’s so clever and helpful. I was wanting to throw the idea out there of you maybe starting a tumblr version of this site. Just a thought.
I soooooooooo love the quote – it is so true. Backbone in women is very attractive. Stand tall.
Your Smarter is so true, even though it took me forever to accept as far as partners go. Before we read your post (which we both read religiously, of course!), my friend and I were actually applying that concept to this boy that her roommate and I have been on/off with. Seeing in writing somehow really solidifies it for me — so thank you!
love this quote! great advice for my young daughters.
You always pick the best quotes! They always make my day =]
Your Smarter is very true, although holding yourself to high standards can get in the way sometimes. But then again: don’t exaggerate
I love the set-up for your site, especially since my obsession with good quotes is still going strong (and has been since…mmmm forever)….this is a great quote and your smarter is verrry accurate.
love the quote, love the theme, and love the concept of this site.
the www needs more websites like this to boost a girl’s confidence and morale.
cheers to a job well done!
