The Glorious Power of No
Finally, learn the crucial art of saying 'no.' You’ve mastered the art of dodging projectile food at mealtime; now it’s time to master this. Plans you’re not psyched about? Politely decline, and don't sweat the FOMO. Self-care plus true friendship equals a balanced social fabulousness.

Stay sassy and sensational!
