Friendships Through the Decades Part One: Toast Your Twenties
The 20s are big, bright and blooming with prospects. While we're growing into ourselves, the women around us are our companion plants. Here’s how to celebrate this bold decade of fabulous female friendships.
The 20s are a transformative period with broad diversity in life paths. You’ll have friends that move “home” and friends that find it far away from where they began. Some will put a ring on it and others will stay in school. Some will start their own business; others help build someone else’s.
Whatever path you take in your twenties, it’s only the beginning of your journey. The friends who are along for the ride may play a crucial role. Will they provide shade or throw it? Will they deplete you or hold space for you? Will your growth threaten theirs or complement it? Choose friends in your 20s wisely and prune as needed.
Wise Words to Toast Your Twenties
Whatever your age, the best advice for navigating this world as a woman will come from other women. We asked our closest circle of female friends for the advice they’d give their 20-something selves. Here are some of our favorites:
Don’t rush to get married.
You’ve got to feel it to heal it.
If you begin numbing yourself with too much of a good thing (or not-so-good things), get underneath that self-harm to learn why. Then do the work to fix it. You’re building a foundation of habits. Give Middle-Aged you a fighting chance at being happy.
Save money.
Put something - ANYTHING - into a retirement fund asafp.
Don’t stop trusting all people because of one.
Vulnerability and softness are powerful. Don't let someone rob you of those powers. But also? When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Drink water. Wear sunscreen. Spend time outdoors.
Let's Toast to your Twenties
Alright! Ready to celebrate the fab femmes of your 20s? Let’s do this.
THEME: Blossoms & Brunch
Your 20s are full of beginnings, so why not let Spring be the inspo? Think peach and pink for simple decor accents - napkins, vase ribbons, stemware, even… fashion? Snag some bold bouquets at the flower market (or Aldi) and remix them irreverently. Flowers are a fabulous way to decorate for a party that leaves the host with a thank you gift.
Why not make brunch a potluck so no one is over-tasked? Consider a menu of two-bite dishes - mini quiche, french toast sticks, fruit kebab. Crudite is good for all-day grazing and charcuterie never goes out of style (we don’t care what anyone says). You can definitely get fancy with the cuisine, but it isn't necessary.
For drinks, you simply cannot go wrong with rosé all day. It’s right in keeping with the Spring theme, aesthetic AF, and oh-so-delicious. Look for our All-Rosé collection April - October or the All-Rosé Organic Collection from Villa Graziella all year long.
For entertainment, let your stories take center stage. Find a French Cafe playlist on Spotify for accompaniment and gab/giggle/gorge the day away with your besties.
