Women nowadays are driven, dedicated, and have bountiful resources to create and excel in a business from the comfort of their own couch. I'm going to venture out and say that even Disney Princesses, if they were living in our modern women working-from-home era, would have tricks up their sleeves to bring in some extra dough.
Let's take a look at these 10 Disney Princesses and see how they would creatively make money from home.
1. Cinderella
She has a lot of free labor and a lot of talent to put together a ball gown in an afternoon. By collecting scraps of fabric from around the house, she's able to put together a dress that fits her perfectly and drives her stepsisters into a jealous rage. Cinderella's modern day job from home would be an upcycling seamstress. She could spend all her free time collecting scraps and trash to create beautiful dresses.
2. Snow White
As the fairest one of all, Snow White works hard to clean a house for seven dwarves... and makes it look easy. As a modern day work-from-home woman, Snow White would own her own cleaning company and work from the comfort of her kitchen table while waiting for her pie to come out of the oven. She could easily call her cleaning crew to make sure the cottages are cleaned correctly- "and don't forget to scrub behind your ears, Dopey!"
3. Rapunzel
You might think that Tangled's Rapunzel would get the job as a hairdresser, but she's not good at doing much with her hair other than combing it. Plus, I wouldn't trust someone with scissors who has an emotional breakdown when someone cuts her own hair. Rapunzel's at-home career would be as a Youtube zumba instructor. She is always moving and has crazy balancing acts on the beams in her tower!
4. Ariel
It's no secret that Ariel loves her trinkets. This little mermaid's modern at-home job would be buying and re-selling stuff on Amazon, Ebay, and Craigslist. Constantly scouring the internet (and dumpsters) for deals, her small apartment would be covered in "gadgets and gizmos a-plenty" as she searched for the right deal to sell all her thingamabobs.
5. Belle
This girl has read almost every book imaginable to man and her eyes light up at the sight of a new spine. Belle's at-home job would be authoring a series of mystery novels. She would write a series, not a trilogy (that's too few books for her). Her story would go on and on, because in each book there's always "something there that wasn't there before."
6. Aurora
After years under an enchanted spell, Aurora's castle garden abounded with beautiful roses and flowers. Aurora's at-home job is as a florist. She delivers bouquets to weddings, offices, and other events. She even makes enough money to be able to hire someone to drive the car for her, since she sometimes fell asleep at the wheel.
7. Jasmine
This girl has attitude and flair, but from the confinement of her palace-home she started feeling anxious. So she took to blogging. Her strong-willed and free-spirited personality was easily likeable and her blog quickly grew. She uses Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and writes frequently for The Huffington Post. Even though she's juggling all of this, she's starting to get a little bored and is thinking of starting another blog. Because making six figures on her current blog and living in a palace as a princess simply isn't enough for her.
8. Tiana
With a flair for food and wanting to open her own restaurant someday, Tiana joins MasterChef to compete for the title of MasterChef: the best home cook in America. She's praying that her transition from being a home cook to joining MasterChef, along with her determination and passion, she can take home the trophy and the money so she can finally buy her own restaurant... or open a catering company from the comfort of her own home.
9. Mulan
Slightly oblivious to love, Mulan realized that other women could be in the same boat as her. She created a website that sends anonymous love letters and gifts to the recipient. If the recipient responds well to the letters and gifts, then the anonymous suitor would be revealed. Mulan has a 100% guarantee that you will find love through this website if you are 1. Oblivious to love; 2. Likely to go into battle disguised as a man to save your father's life; and 3. If you have ever been stabbed and then partially trampled by an army.
10. Anna
I'm sorry, did you think Elsa would be in this list? She's a queen and didn't get invited to this list of princesses. Let's talk about her sister. Anna's at-home profession is a one-on-one motivational coach. You can call her for a little pep talk and pay by the minute, always counting on her believing in you unconditionally: "Sure you can! I know you can! Cause for the first time in forever, you don't have to be afraid. We can work this out together!"
Thank you for reading! Can you guess which princesses I'm missing and what their at-home careers would be?
