Julia Roberts seems to have life pretty well figured out, huh? She’s an Oscar winner with a loving family. I mean, a person could do worse!
So when the OG Pretty Woman deigns to share her wisdom, we pull up a desk, open a notebook, and grab a pen. Pray tell, Julia Roberts, what advice might you bestow upon us today?
“Stand up straighter, it’s all going to be okay, and don’t pluck your eyebrows.” Okay, noted! These are the wise words she shared with People during a recent interview, specifically as the advice she’d give to her 19-year-old self – the age her twins Phinneas and Hazel currently are.
But just like Roberts, these three directives are timeless. Especially the posture part. Desk hunch comes for us all.

As for the actual recipients of her motherly advice, her kids (she also has a 16-year-old son, Henry), Roberts is grateful that they let her keep mom-ing, even into their own young adulthood.
“I have an immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them and it’s not eye-rolling. There’s a huge amount of understanding,” she revealed in a different interview, per People. “I parent them the same way out of the house that I parent them in the house. Which is, ‘Are you getting enough sleep? You sound like you’re sick. Are you drinking tea?’ And, ‘Text me when you get home so I can see that you’re safe and sound.’”
Okay, so make that five pearls of wisdom: Stand up straight, it’ll be okay, don’t pluck your eyebrows, get enough sleep, and drink some tea. Having trouble finding a problem with any of this.
And it’s so much easier (not to mention cheaper) than following the entire Eat, Pray, Love journey that Roberts made look so appealing on screen.
At her behest, back to sleep we go!
