26 Things That Are Cool at 26

Let’s face it, we’re getting older and our priorities are changing…for the better? I’ll let you be the judge. 

1. SPF

Yep, we actually care about our skin now

Nothing feels more satisfying than realizing you STILL have money even after you pay your bills

3. Spray tans

Because, again, we actually care about our skin

4. Going to dinner

Yes kids, at 26 going out to dinner is a BIG deal, possibly the highlight of your week

5. Going to bed by 9

You are a rockstar

6. Staying in on a Friday night

Guess who’s going to yoga Saturdayyyyyyy?
