Older Sister Advice: Lessons I Wish I Learned Sooner

There’s something magical about the bond of an older sister—a mix of unconditional support, tough love, and wisdom passed down through trial and error. Even if I’m not your actual big sister, I want to be that voice in your life, helping you navigate the messy, beautiful journey of growing up. These are lessons I wish someone had told me when I was figuring things out, and I hope they make your glow-up journey just a little bit easier.


1. Don’t Compare Your Chapter 1 to Someone Else’s Chapter 20


I can’t stress this enough. Social media is the ultimate highlight reel. What you see online is often a curated version of someone’s life, not the full picture. The sooner you stop comparing yourself to others and start focusing on your own journey, the happier you’ll be. Remember, your pace is perfect.

2. Take Care of Your Skin—Future You Will Thank You


The earlier you start prioritizing skincare, the better. Sunscreen is the ultimate anti-aging product. My holy grail? La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen—it’s lightweight, doesn’t leave a white cast, and feels amazing on the skin. (Seriously, I love this stuff!)

3. Friendships Change, and That’s Okay


Not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever, and that’s not a bad thing. Cherish the good memories, but don’t be afraid to let go of toxic friendships. Prioritize quality over quantity—having one solid friend beats a group of people who don’t truly care about you.

4. Learn How to Budget


Money might not buy happiness, but it does buy freedom and peace of mind. Start small—use apps like Mint or YNAB (You Need a Budget) to track your spending. Trust me, knowing where your money is going feels so empowering.

5. You Don’t Have to Have It All Figured Out


I wish someone had told me that it’s okay to feel lost. Life is messy and unpredictable, but that’s also what makes it beautiful. Focus on learning, growing, and enjoying the journey instead of rushing to the destination.

♡

If any of this advice resonates with you or if you have lessons you’ve learned, I’d love to hear them in the comments or on socials. Let’s be each other’s big sisters!

Love, Sade
