Things ladies 30 years and above should avoid

Age is said to be the greatest enemy of women. When a woman is in her late twenties she feel the time should stop ticking. However, turning 30 is obviously a major milestone. Chances are you always thought you’d have everything together by now, and it can throw you for a loop when life doesn’t quite cooperate. Even though it’s completely normal to still be figuring it all out when you turn 30, you might want to quit the following things so you can enter your third decade primed to succeed—and have the best time yet
Stop apologizing for everything under the sun: If you interrupt your friend or bump into a colleague in the hallway, an apology is warranted. Not so much if someone rammed into you on their way to the elevator or cut you off before you finished what you were saying.
Reverting into a teenager every time you visit your parents, tantrums included: Yes, even if you suspect there was a mix-up at the hospital when you were born because you cannot actually be related to these people. Growing up means letting things slide or taking out your aggression by screaming into pillows and typing angrily instead of being mean to your family.
Rejecting compliments rather than accepting them: If someone tried to give you money that you knew you deserved, would you refuse it? Compliments are emotional currency that makes your heart rich, so why not say thank you instead of telling them all the reasons they're wrong? (This does not apply to unwanted 'compliments' like people catcalling you on the street, just the ones that make you feel good.)
Sitting through terrible dates even though you know you're not a match: There is indeed an inoffensive way to extricate yourself from an appallingly bad date: a polite thank you, explanation that you don't see it working out, and a firm goodbye. You shouldn't have to suffer through it just to spare the feelings of someone you'll (hopefully) never see again!
Freaking out about being single: Humans are living for so long right now! Being single in your 30s does not automatically mean you'll be alone forever, because you have a ton of time to find someone. And not everyone you know is in a blissful long-term relationship, even though sometimes it feels that way.
Coming undone because you spotted a new wrinkle: That's not to say it's unreasonable to get a pang of anguish when new lines show up. But! Skincare is the most advanced it's ever been, which means there are all sorts of ways to stave off signs of aging if that's one of your goals. Then there's the fact that wrinkles don't mean you're ugly or unattractive, just that you're getting older. Much better than the alternative, no? (Since this is real life, the alternative is not staying young forever. It's dying.)
Hating your body: Pretty much everyone has parts they wish they could wave a magic wand over to change, but loathing your body is exhausting. It's your home for your entire life, and no matter how it looks, it can do amazing things.
Smoking, even if it's only every once in a while: It's terrible for your lungs, awful for the people around you, not kind to your skin, gross for your teeth…seeing a theme here?
Relying on alcohol to have fun: Is getting tipsy with your friends at every opportunity amazing? Yes. But you can also have a good time sober, which is good to know since cutting back on booze can do everything from aiding in weight loss to helping you feel like a functioning human the day after a party.
Hanging on to friends that don't enrich your life: Maybe you're starting to realize their 'compliments' are well-veiled insults or they goad you into making bad decisions. Or maybe they're just so boring you'd rather stare at a blank wall than hang out with them, because it's basically the same thing and then at least you won't have to pretend to care! Either way, it's OK to distance yourself so you can spend more time with people who actually make you happy
Wondering why your life isn't like your favorite Instagram stars': The truth: their lives aren't like that either. Social media is ideal for things like following dogs dressed in menswear, but it's not the best place to set expectations for your life.
Having full-on birthday weeks: Expecting all your loved ones to drop everything to throw you a dinner, a brunch, and jet off to a nearby party destination is better left behind in your 20s.
And fearing your 30th birthday in the first place: Entering a brand new decade can be a thrilling chance to come into your own, figure out what you really want in life, and make a whole lot of magic happen.
Enjoy every phase of your life and be more generous and godly.
