how to be an actual princess ♡

be soft, sweet and gentle

offer help to those who are in need

wish upon shooting stars

get lots of rest (princesses need their beauty sleep)

be respectful of all living things, such as plants and animals

tend to a garden while wearing an oversized sunhat

take bubble baths

try to drink green tea every day (it’s good for your metabolism and incredibly calming)

use a parasol when you go for walks, as sunlight is bad for your skin

always be polite

apply hand lotion at least twice a day

let your laugh be as bright as your smile

remember to read and study (princesses are as knowledgeable as they are beautiful)

be wholeheartedly kind

let yourself cry for others and for yourself

allow your heart to be gentle and delicate

watch the clouds in a field full of flowers

wear lots of lace and silk
