Hi friends! I remember waiting with excitement each month for my subscription of Seventeen Magazine. As a young American teen, I felt it held ALL the secrets to what it
must be like to be seventeen. I couldn't wait to be older and to be able to do the things seventeen year olds did. Maybe, if I dressed and did my makeup and hair like they did in the magazine, I'd be well prepared for age seventeen, and therefore turning eighteen and becoming an adult with all the answers would be a breeze.
So while, I might have needed a little more preparation than deciding if someone's embarrassing story was three red face emojis or just one, I hope that this can serve as a slightly nostalgic newsletter for many millennials reading, who were seventeen, approximately the same time as me. (Not sure what the equivalent was in your country, Teen Vogue?)
In memory of Seventeen Magazine, here is a little quiz treat to bring you back and of course, you won't see your results until the end of the magazine.

Mint The Anyas' Quote, a rare mirror NFT—a treasury of wisdom inspired by the extraordinary women of The Anyas.
Lessons in Wisdom:
This week we are celebrating wisdom. I reflect back to my days in University. Maya Angelou taught a writing class, which was highly competitive to gain a seat. I remember not even trying to get a seat, because it was hard, so I didn't bother. I had also heard from a friend that Professor Angelou spoke her mind and if she didn't like what you said or did in class she didn't hesitate to let you know. My failure to take what would have been a life-chanaing class was due to a linear focus on grades (and total lack of wisdom). I wanted to be part of classes where I could insure I would get a good grade, because that meant a good future. At 18 I didn't realize life success wasn't guaranteed with good grades.
A quote that I love from Maya Angelou is, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

The Quiz: RESULTS
If you chose 2+ shows you could be…
A) LA Girlie - You love fashion, music, acting, drama and warm weather. Beaches are made for suntanning and a fruity cocktail. When is the girls trip?
B) Gen Y - Tell me you're a millennial without telling me you're a millennial. I am so glad we share the same humour. My people!
C) Health Coach - You could have been a health coach, but your parents told you to earn a living. Now you have so many questions and thoughts about the health industry. Don't even get you started on RFK Jr.
D) Yin and Yang - You have an interesting curiosity about both life and death. You're not sure if you are one step ahead or two steps behind. Have you been to Burning Man?
E) Country Sliving - This is your sign to move to the countryside! You might not be able to move to Cotswold or the Scottish Highlands, but at least Netflix and IG aren't banned so you can more easily romanticize your life.
XOXO
