Build an Emergency Fund

Life throws curveballs—and an emergency fund catches them without derailing your financial goals.

• Aim to save 3–6 months’ worth of essential expenses.

• Keep it in a separate high-yield savings account, not your main checking.

Small Step: Automate a weekly $10 deposit into an emergency fund. Over a year, that’s $520 without even thinking about it.

Cycle Syncing 101: How to Stop Fighting Your Body and Start Flowing (🌚) With It

alright girls, gather ‘round. this is the full post i promised - the one about periods, moods, energy, and how to actually live in sync with your cycle instead of feeling like a chaotic mess every month. because once i started tracking and understanding my cycle… it changed everything. for real. my workouts, my eating, my planning, my self-talk all became softer, smarter, more strategic. so let's break it down.

your menstrual cycle has 4 main phases, and each one brings its own vibe, mood, superpowers, and kryptonite. when you know which phase you’re in, you stop blaming yourself and start working with your body, not against it. ready?

1. Menstrual Phase (Bleeding / Days 1–5ish)

Vibe: hibernation queen. inward. reflective.

Body: hormones (estrogen + progesterone) are at their lowest = low energy, fatigue, cramps, sensitivities.

Mind: introspective, quiet, intuitive. this is your “truth-telling” time.

What to do:

Exercise: restorative yoga, stretching, slow walks. if you need to skip your workout? skip it. your body is doing enough.

Food: iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils, beef, dark chocolate), warm meals like soups and stews. magnesium-rich snacks can help with cramps.

Routines: go slow. journal. say no to extra plans. light candles. wear comfy clothes. treat yourself like you're sacred.

Study/work: focus on review, reflecting on past tasks, journaling ideas. let your brain rest a bit—don’t force deep concentration.

Self-care: warm baths, heat pads, soft music, no loud people.

Mental tip: you’re bleeding out the past month. literally. let go of what didn’t serve you. Zdont feel guilty.

2. Follicular Phase (Post-period / Days 6–13ish)

Vibe: fresh start. springtime energy. main character in a coming-of-age film.

Body: estrogen rises. energy builds. skin glows. you feel light, optimistic, social.

Mind: creative, motivated, open to new ideas.

What to do:

Exercise: try something new—dance, pilates, running, gym sessions. you’ll feel strong and energetic.

Food: fresh and light—greens, fermented foods, seeds, citrus. boost that metabolism.

Routines: this is your reset phase. declutter. plan your week/month. start new habits. your brain wants structure right now.

Study/work: brainstorm, start new projects, prep for heavy tasks ahead. your memory and focus are sharper.

Self-care: vision boards, hair masks, cute outfits. say yes to life.

Mental tip: this is your most productive phase. take advantage but don’t overbook. pace yourself.

3. Ovulation Phase (Middle of Cycle / Days 14–16ish)

Vibe: glowing goddess. seductive. unstoppable.

Body: estrogen peaks, testosterone joins the party. libido spikes. you’re magnetic and bold.

Mind: communicative, charming, high-confidence. great time to network or confront someone (with love, of course).

What to do:

Exercise: go hard—HIIT, lifting, cardio, group workouts. you’ve got power and endurance.

Food: fiber-rich foods (quinoa, carrots, berries) and antioxidants. hydrate well.

Routines: do your “hard” things here—presentations, big meetings, social stuff, shooting your shot.

Study/work: speak, pitch, debate. you’ve got clarity + persuasion.

Self-care: romanticize yourself. take hot pics, go out, flirt with life.

Mental tip: your confidence is real. don’t downplay it. enjoy this phase but stay grounded.

4. Luteal Phase (Pre-period / Days 17–28ish)

Vibe: cozy but moody. nesting energy.

Body: progesterone rises after ovulation. if no pregnancy happens, hormones start to drop = PMS hits.

Mind: detail-focused, critical, sensitive. easily overstimulated.

What to do:

Exercise: lower the intensity. pilates, strength training, long walks. listen to your body.

Food: complex carbs (sweet potatoes, oats), calming teas, B6-rich foods (bananas, salmon). eat more often to manage cravings + blood sugar dips.

Routines: finish tasks. organize. clean your space. prep for your period like you’d prep for a storm—lovingly.

Study/work: editing, detail work, wrapping up loose ends. less is more.

Self-care: limit caffeine, go offline if needed, soothe your senses.

Mental tip: don’t trust every thought. the inner critic is loud but not always right. softness wins here.

General Tips:

Track your cycle: use apps like Clue, Flo, or just a paper calendar. know when each phase starts so you can plan smarter.

Plan around your phases: big goals in follicular/ovulation, rest + review in menstrual/luteal.

Cycle syncing ≠ perfection: life doesn’t always let you live like a hormone princess. do what you can. forgive what you can't.

Be kind to yourself: if your body is low-energy, that’s not laziness—it’s biology. honor it.

Final Thoughts:

nobody told us this. nobody said “hey, your whole system is a monthly pattern—learn the rhythm and life gets easier.” instead, we got shame, pain, and whispers. but no more. now we know better. and syncing your life to your cycle is not about being soft—it’s about being smart. strategic. in tune.

girlhood isn’t chaos, insanity—it’s coded. and when you read the code, you stop feeling like a mess and start feeling like magic.

if you made it this far, you’re already syncing, baby.

go be soft when you need, strong when it calls, and sacred always💕

The Scalp-to-Toe Guide for Girls Who Want Silky Everything

by Soleau Club / www.soleauclub.com

Let’s cut to it—softness is a power move. Silky skin, shiny hair, glazed lips, even smooth elbows? That’s not just self-care. That’s strategy. Because when your scalp’s flourishing and your ankles are moisturized, life hits different. You feel luxe. You feel aligned. You feel like the human version of soft lighting and whispery R&B.

Here’s your full-body roadmap to feeling silky, slippery, and scandalously touchable—head to toe.

Scalp: The Root of the Glow

A glossy blowout starts before the brush. Your scalp deserves the same energy as your skincare routine.

Weekly detox: Scalp scrub or clarifying shampoo to reset buildup.

Oils, but make it active: Rosemary or peppermint oil to stimulate growth and boost shine.

Scalp massage: Fingers or a massage brush—do it while watching Bravo or overthinking texts.

You’ll feel the vibes and the circulation.

Face: Like a Pearl, But Hotter

Smooth skin is built in layers—don’t skip steps.

Double cleanse, always. First to remove the world, second to nourish.

Chemical exfoliant > physical scrub. We’re team lactic acid, glycolic, or PHA.

Hydration sandwich: Mist → serum → moisturizer → oil (if you’re feeling extra).

Gua sha or ice globes: Because lymphatic drainage is the new face lift.

Finish with SPF like it’s your religion.

Neck + Chest: Stop Neglecting Your Décolleté

Your face doesn’t stop at your chin, babe.

Same skincare rules apply: Exfoliate, hydrate, protect.

Try a “mask extension”: Rub that leftover sheet mask serum down to your heart chakra.

Silk pillowcases: For your hair and your chest lines.

It’s giving “ageless heiress.”

Arms: Soft, Shimmery, Subtle Flex

Your biceps can be strong and smooth.

Dry brush before showering: Always toward the heart, always with intention.

In-shower exfoliant: AHA body wash or a sugar scrub (bonus if it smells edible).

Body serum: Yes, this is a thing. Think niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or peptides.

Luxe lotion or body butter: Massage it in like your life depends on it. Because it kinda does.

Hands: Your Subconscious Status Symbol

Hands age fast, so treat them like the queens they are.

Cuticle oil on deck at all times.

SPF on the back of hands. Yes, even in the car.

Night treatment: Slather them in shea or Vaseline, then sleep in cotton gloves.

Bonus: Hand massage. Sensual and circulation-boosting. We love a win-win.

Booty + Legs: The Softest Power Play

Soft thighs, moisturized knees, and a peach that feels like satin? Yes please.

Exfoliate 2-3x/week: Use a body peel, mitt, or scrub.

Ingrown treatment: BHA + gentle retinol.

Moisturize while still damp: Lock it in, lock it down.

Glow drops or shimmer oil: Especially for a date, brunch, or any excuse to stun.

Shiny legs = main character energy.

Feet: Because Crust Is Canceled

Soft feet are the final boss of full-body glow.

Foot peel mask (biweekly): Warning: It will shed like a lizard, but you’ll emerge reborn.

Daily TLC: Pumice in the shower + thick cream before bed.

Sleep in socks like you’re doing it for your future lover. Or just yourself.

White polish or a nude chrome pedi? Always.

Being silky isn’t about vanity. It’s about energy. The smoother you feel, the more you float. The more you float, the more you radiate.

So oil up, gloss down, and glow on, babe.
