30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30

In a serendipitous twist of fate, the Huffington Post reviewed 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30 which hit the shelves this past Tuesday.  Based on a story published in 1997 by Glamour Magazine the book expands on the original list with advice from famous powerhouses such as Maya Angelou, Katie Couric and Hilary Clinton.  With 'should haves' such as having "one old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come" and 'should knows' that include "how to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next" the book is being met with some harsh criticism for it's "fluffy" approach to what's really important.  Is this list a fun way to reflect on where you are (or want to be) at 30, or a major affront to women who should be able to make their own call on what they should or shouldn't have and know?  The fact that Lauren Conrad (of MTV Reality fame) is offering advice on the pages next to Maya Angelou might just be a red flag for me...


Lucky for me I have "...a suitcase...you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying" ;)
