Of course they pick on the best looking girl first. (Snow White-fairest in all the land according to that wonderful little mirror. I wish I had a mirror that told me this every morning). No but this is what they had to say about Snow White:She's the attention-girl type. The one that likes to surround herself with a bunch of guys. Although she might not be gettin it on with any of the seven, she bends over backwards to cater to their every whim to get in with the 'hot guys'.
Princess Rule#1-don't let your insecurities push you to become a doormat. You shouldn't have to work to be some one's friend and if you really feel fitting in is so important that you'll sacrifice self happiness for self image then maybe you should go back to the 12th grade. Be your own person. Chances are you are hanging out at some janky party house with guys that only care about who can shot gun a beer fastest or whose motto is 'lower your standards up your average'. I also think it's important not to be jealous of pretty girls either. Find that confidence and beauty in yourself.
Next they outlined Sleeping Beauty (probably the worst of all the princesses). Here's what they had to say about that trashy little lady: She's the girl that likes to get SUPER WASTED and have drunken hook-ups. Ya know, the kind where the girl wakes up next morning to some strange dude who is the furthest thing from a prince? And has to do the walk of shame home because her carriage left 8 hours ago (the carriage she shoulda been in).
Next up on our list of Disney dysfunction was Jasmine. O sweet Jasmine. Surprisingly, she's the first princess on our list that is doing something right for once. She is looking for that diamond in the rough. That boy who is out of the ordinary! Does she want your average prince? No, she wants love!
This next Disney princess is one of the few that I relate to-Belle. Belle finds herself in the caregiver role quite often. First it was her dad, now it's the Beast. I tell you what, it's a wonder she gets any 'me time' in edge wise! Constantly trying to take care of others, trying to change her boyfriend into something better, and constantly making projects out of men make Belle a giant no, no.
Our next Disney Princess not only drastically changed her body, but left the only home she ever knew to chase after a boy. RED FLAG! Despite her negatives we can learn some positives. Ariel, you probably should of just found a nice merman to settle down with and kicked it with Trident in the palace for the rest of your little fishy life. However, being the rebel that you are, you ditched it all for true love. So what you couldn't talk? Voice trapped in a seashell? Didn't stop you from getting the man of your dreams.
The next Disney princess is probably one of the most famous. Can you guess? She's a people pleaser, with a love of shoes, and being kind to those who are cruel...AND THE SURVEY SAYS...CINDERELLA!
The last Disney princess on our list is the always beautiful Pocahontas. When I read Pocahontas' summary and princess rule I connected with it the most because of the events that surround this time in my life. I read through the princecess thinking, this is kind of me..well this also could be me..that's DEFINITELY NOT ME..but when I came to her..I was like here is my princess. Pocahontas was the "I love him but it could never be princess". For whatever reason, she was the princess who had a relationship that was driven apart by outside forces. Sometimes people are great together but their individual lives create too much conflict, making it impossible to share that life together happily and healthily.

Princess Rule#2: They equated the evil witch as liquor in this scenario and I find it very fitting. Although, I feel the evil witch is also disguised as bad decisions based on loneliness. It's ok to be lonely, it's not ok to waste yourself on men that see you for nothing more than exactly what you are 'a drunken hook up'. Have some self respect, be patient, and wait for a quality guy. I don't know any great guys that date the tavern bicycle. Keep it in your pants ladies. Nothing is sexy about being sloppy and drunk. Don't learn that lesson the hard way.

Princess Rule#4-I'm not saying physical attraction isn't important, because IT IS however, it's also the mark of a mature woman who starts to analyze what she is looking for in a partner rather than how big his sword is. If the usual crowd of young men isn't fitting your fancy, try someone out that you wouldn't normally go for, you might be pleasantly surprised. You that girl that continually keeps getting screwed over? Let me tell you what the common denominator is..you're dating assholes. Try dating the 'nice guy' for once. Yeah he might not be as flashy as the prince, but like Aladdin he'll show you a whole new world. One in which you are respected, cared for, and loved the way you deserve.

Princess Rule#5-IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO HELP OUR BOYFRIENDS! I'm getting to a point in my life where I AM TIRED of taking TWO STEPS BACK to bring a boy TWO STEPS FORWARD! I've also learned that you can't change someone! So if you love someone, you better love all of them, accept all of them, and be able to support the decisions they make because often times, that doesn't change. And if it does, it takes a very long time and many, many years. Be with someone who is on your level and who understands you. You shouldn't have to fix anyone and even if they need fixing...it's not your job. Make life easy on yourself. Pick the knight in shining armor the first time. Cause I bet you sure as hell don't want to shine that stuff for him.

Princess Rule#6-Body language is key. I can't tell you how many dating shows I've seen recently (e.g., Why am I Still Single and Tough Love Miami) to where they talk about this very thing. Knowing how to flirt, be confident, and use body language is key to landing any guy. If you feel you're bad at it, next time you're out a bar just walk up to some guy and practice. So what if it fails miserably!? You'll pry never see him again and you can just chalk it up to one too many 7&7's! No one can give you confidence. You have to find it on your own. Only then will you be comfortable using your body language and approaching men (one of which who could be your Prince Charming).

Princess Rule#7-Don't try to be someone or something you're not. The right guy will like you for exactly who you are minus glass slippers, fancy clothes, or the 'right' pedigree. If a boy starts dating you for who they 'think' you are aren't you missing out on the boy who wants to date you because he 'knows' who you are? I think it's important to dress up and look nice every once in awhile (does wonders for the confidence) however, I think it's also ok to have down days. Be you and work on being the best version of you. Someone will notice that.

When I read Pocahontas' summary and princess rule I connected with it the most because of the events that surround this time in my life.

Sometimes people are great together but their individual lives create too much conflict, making it impossible to share that life together happily and healthily.
Princess Rule#8-"Sometimes a break up is the best ending." I hate to say it, and I hate to admit it, but in some cases this is very true. Sometimes to save your place in some one's heart you have to break it. Sometimes to save your place in some one's heart, you have to walk away from it. End on amiable terms with the person you love. Coming from someone who has had two boyfriends, one of which ended badly and one of which ended sadly (amiable, yet sadly) I'd take the latter every time. It makes getting over someone a million times harder when you're not pissed or upset to kingdom come, however, you can look back on good memories, important moments of your life that were because of them, and see love (not hate, or anger, or indifference because of all of those negative emotions). I don't want to discourage girls in to thinking that there are no such things as second chances (because we all know there is a part two and maybe even three to Pocahontas) but just be sure when you take that chance you take things slow, really think about what you want, and feel secure in knowing it's during the right time in both of your lives. Most importantly, never give someone a second chance who ruined the first one in a big way. It automatically takes him out of the running to be your prince charming. If you are beautiful, wonderful, have a heart of gold, and know it then he should of known it too.
Which princess are you? And are you on the right path to finding your prince? We can make changes for the better to get what we desire. Don't let true love just be a fairy tale you read about take steps to change your life,perspective,and actions so it can become something you live.
I'd like to give a big thank you to Alexandra Churchill for the inspiration and GREAT blog idea. The link to her article is featured below!
