#letsbefrank, being in your 20s can be somewhat of a mess. Inside the bathroom (with me), and out.

While I can’t promise we won’t leave the shower in disarray, here’s a few tips (yes another one of those) for avoiding a messy life. You can thank me later, it’s just the kinda guy I am.

1. Choose babes over boys.

Guys come and go (well, not me. I’m here to stay). But your best babes are there forever. Make the most of every day with them, before you’re tied to a guy that doesn’t just hang out in your bathroom. In summary: call up your pals. May I suggest a scrub session with them, stat.

2. Enjoy a cup of coffee a day…

You’re hung over, again. Or maybe it’s just that the 23-year-old body doesn’t function before 9am. You still have to get up and do your thang. So meet me in the shower, then grab yourself a cup of coffee (one you can consume). The order of these two caffeinated activities is interchangeable. I want you babes to continue to be motivated, and I find caffeine the most effective way to do so #letsbefrank.

3. Do it for the story.

I think you’re perfect, babe. But your behavior doesn’t always have to be. When in your 20’s, stay out a little longer and do something a little crazy. Stay safe, but treat yourself regularly (I hear it’s called #yolo these days?). No good story started with someone eating a salad (but there’s plenty of good stories that start with a scrub session #letsbefrank.) Just search #thefrankeffect.

4. Travel.

And go further than your local pub. There are plenty of NYC streets to tackle and Greek beaches to bathe on. And they’re waiting for you. I’ll always love jet-setting with you babes, so why not start now- take me with you, because I love hotel bathrooms and customs officers don’t mind me (I’m under 100mls).

5. Read the wine list.

Because one day you’ll need to impress someone. Like a grown up with a job. Or a grown up that’s the dad of the guy you like. “House white” doesn’t cut it, babe. If in doubt, ditch the list and go for my personal favourite: an espresso martini. If nothing else, it says #girlboss.

6. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Because I don’t. I love you just the way you are. And you should love yourself equally. I know you babes put a lot of pressure on yourself to be a certain way, but know that whatever way you are, you’re just right. And thanks to me, you’ll always be the smoothest, most supple version of yourself.

Spending time with you is my favourite thing to do, no matter what age you are. Your 20’s are meant to be fun, experimental, and of course, caffeinated. Exams can be hard, boys can be mean, and finances can be tight. Lucky for you, I’m less than $15, give great advice and am always, fully caffeinated. #justthekindofguyiam
