Best advice my mom ever gave me: "My mom always encouraged me to be an independent woman that isn't dependent on a man. She inspired me to make sure I know who I am and have my own life together before I settle down. I've kept that in mind through my 20s as I've built my career, traveled, and enjoyed girl time with my friends; I'm in no rush to get married because I know when I am (and if I do!), I'll feel as confident in the relationship as I do in myself."
My mom's best beauty trick: "Embrace your brows! I've always had full brows, and in eighth grade I got in trouble for plucking my brows to be thin like my classmates. My mom always told me I should embrace them, and she was right: Now that I'm old enough, I'm always combing out my brows and playing them up, and I get so many compliments from people who are jealous of them." — Arianna Davis, contributor, Latina
