♡ My Looksmaxxing journey ♡

♡♡♡ Hi, everyone! ♡♡♡

I recently embarked on a personal journey to focus on enhancing my physical appearance. With ample free time during my summer break before the start of my final semester in August, I decided to dedicate myself to this endeavor. In this blog post, I'll share my three main areas of focus and the steps I've taken to achieve my goals.

Teeth: While my teeth aren't in terrible shape, I do have some spaces on my upper row and excessive gum display, which I wanted to address.

To address the spaces, I opted for braces ($142/month). Additionally, I plan to undergo a gum reduction procedure, as recommended by my orthodontist, to rectify the excessive gum display.

Skin: I began working on my skincare earlier this year but struggled to maintain consistency. However, I have now established a morning and night routine, along with some dermatologist-prescribed medication.

To improve my skin, I follow a routine that includes applying Spiroloctone (taken twice daily, $15 every 3 months) and Tretinoin (applied topically every other night, $10 every 3 months). In addition, I use Cerave cleanser, Cerave morning and night moisturizers, and a witch hazel toner for both my morning and night routines. To enhance the effectiveness, I incorporate Gua Sha and derma roller techniques in my morning routine and perform dry brushing before every shower. I also ensure to use body oil and lotion immediately after each shower, while using Dove for sensitive skin during my shower routine.

Hair: This year, I made the decision to stop relying on wigs and weaves and embrace my natural hair, which I believe suits me better.

To care for my hair, I follow a weekly routine that includes washing it with a cleansing shampoo and hydrating conditioner. For styling, I opt for a Wash n' Go method, applying a botanical gel layered with a holding/alcohol-free gel. Additionally, I take MSM supplements to support hair growth ($10). To maintain its health, I deep condition my hair once a month.

Body: Though going to the gym has always been challenging for me due to discomfort in crowded spaces, I have found alternative ways to stay active.

Instead of traditional gym workouts, I prefer at-home Pilates routines and outdoor walks in the park, which allow me to prioritize my physical well-being while avoiding the discomfort of being watched or surrounded by large groups of people.

My journey towards looksmaxxing has been an empowering experience of self-improvement. By focusing on my teeth, skin, hair, and overall physical well-being, I am taking proactive steps towards enhancing my appearance and boosting my self-confidence. I'm excited to continue this journey and see the positive changes it brings.

Will try to update every month ♡

If you're a young girl, don't let level-up content convince you that you should stay away from so-called 'dusty' or 'low-vibrational' activities like partying, talking to boys your own age and heck, even downloading Tiktok. You're allowed to be young and you’re allowed to have fun, and trying things that other people your age are doing is part of figuring out who you are and what you like. Don't let level up blogs convince you that you should just study, read, self-isolate, repeat because you will probably look back later in life and wish that you had allowed yourself to be young.

Recent manifestation

okayyy so in november of last year i had a $2,000 balance on my school account that prevented me from registering for my classes for the spring semester which really stressed me out. so i wrote affirmations down saying that i would have it paid off before the end of the year and my thinking was that i would get a job so that i could pay off...

well, the end of the semester comes and i never got a job so i gave up and started thinking about how i would spend my time since i wouldn't be going back to school for the spring

however, last friday i get a call from my school saying that the financial aid office lifted the hold on my account so that i'd be able to register for classes this spring...

my jaw literally dropped. i have been to 3 different schools in total and never had this happen to me!!! after the call i checked my financial account and saw that my balance had dropped and that various grants had been applied

its crazy how my manifestations come after i stop caring.

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out
