This doesn't qualify as great advice but it did make me laugh thinking of my mom's "words of wisdom" when I was growing up.
1. It's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor man.
2. Tan cellulite looks better than pale cellulite.
Yeah- I know... pretty bad.

My mom and I are great friends now but she'll be the first to admit she was never up for mother of the year.
