As a mom, there is always a ton of advice that flies through my head, but I don't always have time to articulate it. So for my daughters I am writing it down. Some advice may be serious, or silly or just plain common sense but I am going to share what I can every now and then as it comes to me, in no particular order...
Girls, you get half of your DNA from me, which means you have also been blessed with that whitey-white girl skin. I hope you can embrace it. But I will understand if the yearning for sun-kissed skin eventually hits you someday. But please, in your pursuit for sun-kissedness don't ever tan or lay out in the sun to the point of being orange or making your features indiscernible. (You know what I am talking about, where all you see is teeth and gobs of mascara and the rest just blends in to one monochromatic, unnatural shade of oompa-loompa.) It's just not a good look.
