10 Things You Do for Yourself, Not for Guys

When it comes to us women, men just think they have it all figured out. They think that everything we do is for them. Sure, we may dress up a little more for a special occasion or when we just want his jaw to drop, but the majority of the time all the makeup-wearing and leg-shaving is for *us* to feel good. Here are 10 things you do for yourself and not for guys!

1. Shaving your legs

The smooth and soft feeling is for me, not you.

2. Wearing makeup

Makeup is empowering. It makes us feel feminine and beautiful.

3. Dressing up

Ladies, you don’t ever need an excuse to dress up!

4. Wearing sexy lingerie

It’s like our little secret wearing a sexy bra-and-panty combo underneath our everyday clothes.

5. Exercising regularly

We do it for the same reason guys do—because we like it!

6. Pampering yourself

TREAT YO SELF every damn day!

7. Claiming your sexuality

We don’t need a man to figure out what it is we want from a sexual relationship.

8. Giving compliments

Um, it’s called being a nice person. 

9. Managing yourself ~down there~

This is a completely personal decision, sweetie. Don’t forget that. 

10. Being a cuddler

You may think the cuddles are all for you, but really we need it waaaay more.
