25 lessons we've learned from our celeb besties

While celebs may not have all of the answers, they sure can teach us a lot. What better way to celebrate 25 years of Girls' Life than to look at 25 words of wisdom from some of our faves?!

A post shared by JoJo Siwa (@itsjojosiwa) on

“My bank account does not matter to me. It does not matter if I have a billion dollars or if I have two dollars. If I am happy and I love what I’m doing, that’s what matters to me.” 

Jojo is right. Money can’t buy happiness (but it sure can buy hair bows!).

A post shared by BIG BOSS 🔑🔑 (@keke) on

“Your imperfections make you beautiful. It's those things you don't like, that someone else finds very special and very unique about you. You just accept it and own it; even if it's not one of your favorite parts, you just own it because that's who you are."

12. Kendall Jenner: "Don’t let acne hold you back"

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

While there are much bigger problems happening in the world, suffering from acne for me was debilitating. It’s something that I’ve dealt with since I was a young teen and has caused me to feel anxious, helpless and insecure. As humans, I don’t think we share our insecurities enough because we live in a time where being “perfect” is the standard. We curate our life online and pick the pretty moments to post. I’d like to show a younger generation that not everything is perfect. Being insecure about my acne gave me thick skin but I wouldn’t ever wish that feeling upon anyone so after trying countless options, I found something that has been helpful in maintaining clear skin for me. It’s been a long journey but I’m excited for where my skin is now. I didn’t think I’d see the day where I would feel confident posting a makeup free picture. My goal is to open up a dialogue around skin positivity. ❤️
