Summer Glow-Up Guide (Part 1) 🌞

In’s & out ‘s & wardrobe essentials

How to ACTUALLY glow-up for Summer or during Summer (it’s never too late to implement healthy habits into your lifestyle) 🐚🌊🌺

Summer In’s & Out’s:

Ins: Outs:

- Limiting screen time - Doom scrolling

- Journaling daily - Overthinking

- Meditation & yoga daily - Lying in bed

- A healthy diet & balance - Skipping meals

- 7K- 10K steps a day - Staying indoors

- Reading daily - Binging TV

- Tan, moisturise & SPF - Sleeping in makeup

- Getting 8-10hrs of sleep - Staying up late

- Drink your H20 - Sugary soda/alcohol

- Quality clothes that fit - Fast fashion pieces

- Mani & Pedi done 💅🏼 - Unkempt nails/details

- Signature scent - Forgetting perfume & sprays

- Tidy, organised room - Cluttered space

- A Morning & Night routine - Being unorganized

The wardrobe:

It’s important to capture the essence of what you want your Summer wardrobe to look like and emulate. Do you want to be more on the classic side? Or maybe you prefer girly pink fits, or maybe even both! You don’t have to fit into a certain box with your fashion, but figuring out a certain style for that specific season is a great way to start. Personally for me, I like sticking to a color palette that speaks to me for summer. Hyper-feminine colors like Pinks, Whites, Creams, and pastel colors such as yellow, blue, and even tropical green with gold accents can create such a classic and “old money” look too. Just make sure that whatever you are wearing makes you feel your best, because when you feel your best you look your best . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

Summer Wardrobe essentials 🐚:

Beach Sarongs/Cover up’s

THAT girl Night Routine

I haven’t blogged in forever, and for that I’m truly sorry (I was in a blogging rut and just genuinely had no idea or motivation to post anything, so I’m kinda writing this not only for myself but for any of the girlies out there trying to get a structured night routine for the coming summer ༓ ☾.｡*ﾟ+.

Start your “Night Routine” at a certain time - Now the evenings are staying lighter, this can be difficult, but I’d say starting at 6:00PM or 7:00PM is a good starting time. Ideally start it after you have had your last meal of the day. Let this be the time of the day that you are going to begin to switch off and get ready to relax ♡

If you like to stretch or do yoga in the evening , do this and then do your skincare and have a shower afterwards, even if it is a quick one. It will make you feel so much more fresh and clean when you put your pyjamas on ♡

Shower - I know some girlies prefer to shower in the morning which is totally okay! And some girls shower twice a day (but of course this isn’t practical for everyone) - If you do choose to shower of an evening, make sure to use calming products. Products with lavender in, essential oils etc can also be really good because lavender has calming properties in it. Moisturise, and if your feeling extra, spray a few spritz of perfume. (I know it sounds crazy but Marilyn Monroe used to do this before bed!) If you are planning on doing a nice hairstyle the next day, prep your hair. Put your overnight curlers in or rollers ♡

Get changed into Pyjamas - *Important* make sure you are picking girly, cozy pyjamas to wear. Feeling luxury even when your just relaxing makes the biggest difference without you realising. Instead of wearing a huge baggy shirt and shorts, wear something satin or linen, something with florals or a pretty pink dressing gown. Soft materials and light pastel colours. Victoria’s Secret have some beautiful pyjamas (I love the striped one’s) and pretty satin robes too. There’s no better feeling than getting out the shower and putting on fresh pyjamas for the evening. A cute fluffy pair of slippers or socks is perfect too ♡

Take off your makeup and do your skincare - *So important* Don’t ever go to bed with makeup on and don’t ever skip your skincare routine. I know (trust me) how tempting it can be to just go straight to bed, but your skin with thank you in the long run and so will you when you wake up in the morning. Spend time with your skincare and try not to think of it as a *chore*. It’s taking care of yourself! So cherish that ♡

Set the evening mood - Tidy your room once more (so your not waking up to a cluttered space), light a candle, switch on fairy-lights. Do whatever you need to, to make your room or space around you more cozy. Main lights in the evening are a no-go. They wake you up and don’t let your eyes or body relax. Soft lighting is key, maybe spritz your room with a relaxing lavender room spray, get your bed ready too. Fluff the pillows, spray pillow mist, set back the covers, do whatever you need to do to let your body and mind know that your getting ready to settle in for the night ♡

Limit screen time - If you are going to go on your phone/technology before bed, make sure the media you are so consuming is light and makes you feel comforted. Do not watch anything too deep that will play on your sub-conscious mind. Girly videos or vlogs are lovely to watch because they put you in such a lovely mood. I know how tempting it can be to be on your phone right up until the last minute when your eyes close. Some of us even believe we HAVE to be on our phones or be watching something, in order to get to sleep. Whilst this may be true for some people, if this is the case for you, just try one evening going to sleep without looking at a screen. I try to limit screen time 2 hours before bed, and don’t look at my phone 45 minutes before sleeping ♡

Journal/reflect/plan - Evening’s are a perfect time to journal about your day in your diary, write out some journal prompts and make your to-do list for the next day. To be an organised girly you have to know what the next day is going to bring, so making a to-do list so you can make the most of your time is key to a successful and productive day ♡

Meditate - I know meditation is not for everyone, but I myself try to meditate once every day, and the lasting effect it can have on your mental health is so impactful and really a beautiful thing. It helps us rationalise things, put our brains to sleep and sets us in a calm and tranquil state for the evening ♡

Make a warm drink - We give babies warm milk to help them sleep and with us, it’s not really that different. milk does contain tryptophan – an amino acid which is thought to help promote feelings of sleepiness. If you don’t like milk, try chamomile/lavender tea or a hot chocolate. Something comforting that will warm you from the inside out and help with drowsiness before sleep.

Read - Hot girls read. That is a fact. But reading is not only beneficial for one’s intellect but it is such a calming and relaxed act, especially when you have a beautiful book you can escape into right before sleeping. Make sure the book you choose is once again light-hearted and is going to be something that makes you feel happy and cozy before you switch your brain off to sleep ♡

Sleep - The most important part of this routine and the reason why you have taken so much care with your evening routine. Gorgeous, gorgeous girlies get at LEAST 7-9 hours sleep every night. Sleep is one of the most important things in life, and for so many reasons, but mainly - It affects everything you do. Your brain, your sub-conscious, how you feel about yourself, your appetite, your skin & eyes, your mood and your energy levels. Absolutely everything about you is affected by sleep, so make sure you get enough. Try to sleep in darkness (or with a small light if you need one) or an eye mask, don’t forget to set an alarm for the next day too ♡

Extra evening tips:

Some important things to consider ♡

Don’t eat late before going to bed! It’s not good for you! Avoid coffee or things with sugar in as these will give your energy instead of helping you to wind down ♡

Satin bedsheets/pillow cases are perfect for protecting your skin and hair. They allow your skin to breathe and protect your hair from marsh materials which helps it to grow ♡

Call a friend/text a loved one in the evening. I love with my parents so I always spend time with my mum before going to bed, but it’s a lovely thing to check on someone before setting in for the evening ♡

Whilst limiting screen time is important, watching one episode of a comfort series or show can help you feel so happy and comforted ♡

Whilst your going about your evening routine, listen to soft girly music. Or classical music if you want more of classic vibe to your night ♡

Listen to subliminal’s overnight!! *Important* and I feel like most of us forget to. But there are so many you can listen to just overnight, and the results will be so worth it ♡

The Miss Honey lifestyle:

🌸₊˚ 🦢・₊✧𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒

Your very brave Miss Honey…

“Not as brave as you ♡”

I can imagine she spends her days in the garden, drinking tea and marking the workbooks of her class, reading books, painting and baking cookies. So I just had to write this post 🌷♡

How to live a “Miss Honey” lifestyle:

Spend time being present. Don’t spend too much time on your phone/looking at the online world. I can imagine she prefers books to her mobile any day. Take note of the world around you and how lucky you are to live in nature

Take up hobby’s. Baking, painting, knitting, crochet, pottery, gardening, flower pressing - any cottage-core-type hobby’s that you can spend your weekends & free time doing

Invest in a complete, cottage-core wardrobe. With pastels, florals, tea dresses, maxi dresses, blouses, skirts, dungarees etc - (Her outfits in the movie for reference are all gorgeous!)

Read a lot. Miss Honey is known for her love of books and I can imagine she has a great many at home. Display books in your room/around your space and always have one to hand. Read in the garden, in the morning, of any evening, whenever you get the chance 📖

Spend time outdoors. Wether it’s in your garden, going on walks through the forest, trips to your local bakery. Walk places or even cycle

Don’t be afraid to live carefree and free-spirited. Miss Honey loves to have fun and doesn’t mind spending time doing something just for her enjoyment (we can see this at the end of the movie)

Collect cute cottage-y dinnerware and tea sets to make your afternoon tea extra special

Drink tea and cookies frequently 🫖🍪

And most importantly… be kind and caring to all. Show understanding and think of others as well as yourself. Take care of yourself though and always stand up for what is right 😊🍓🫖✨

[coqxettee]

Miss Honey girls 🍯💐

Kind and gentle, the cottagecore girls who love flowers, Springtime, walking in meadows and the sound of birdsong. She’s always dressed in florals or pastels and though she is quiet, isn’t afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what is right. Her gentleness is her power and she uses it greatly. Would much rather stay in and read with a mug of hot tea than go out, adores sunshine but lives for the cozy weather and cozy energy the colder months bring. Enjoys drinking tea and eating cookies, fresh fruit, warm drinks, sandwiches and anything light. Is always reading and loves to learn, always smells of sweet florals and fresh daisy’s. Spends her free time painting, having picnics, at the library and reading ₊˚🌷ʚ ᗢ₊˚🍰✧ ﾟ. ྀི.

Coquette Spring Morning Routine ⛅️♡

My Coquette Spring Morning Routine ૢ✧∘* ✧･ﾟ

Now the weather has been warming up, I think it’s so important to get into a new routine, to help myself emerge out of Winter hibernation. Here is my updated Spring morning routine 🦢

I wake up around 6:30/7:00 AM (I love waking up early, if I don’t I feel like I have wasted my day lol) I’ve been sleeping in my vintage nightdress now the weather is warming up and every morning when I awake, I feel like a princess ⛅️

I put my slippers on, open up my curtains and get a cold drink because the weather has been warming up, I take it back into my room to read in bed for a little while (I work from home so don’t have to get up in a rush which is lovely) I’ve been currently reading through my Spring tbr, and it’s so satisfying to tick off each book when I have finished reading it <3

Whilst I wake up I like to play classical music (it makes me feel like I’m in a fairytale in the morning) read my current book in bed, or watch an episode of something comforting, usually a Spring or cottagecore themed show. I try not to look at social media too much because I find it overwhelming, especially in the morning before I start my day 📖

I get up and make my bed (always) and then have a shower. If it’s a Sunday I spend ages pampering myself and do the “everything shower” (but I’ll get into that when I write my Sunday routine) brush my teeth and get dressed (I try to always pick out my outfit the night before)

Then I go into the kitchen and make myself some breakfast, I usually read at the breakfast table when eating 🍓

I come back into my room to do my hair and my makeup, and to give my room a once over tidy. Then I spend about 30 minutes journaling or writing in my dream journal if I can remember anything from my dreams that previous night.

I pack my bag for the day if I have to run errands and make sure I’ve got everything, then I choose my scent and put my perfume on 🪷

Thank you for reading, I absolutely love mornings because it feels like a fresh start and a new beginning of another beautiful day. Hopefully it gave you some inspiration to construct your own coquette morning routine for Spring 🌸

Spring Night Routine

🍃🫧*ੈ✩‧₊˚🌙

My current Spring night routine, that hopefully inspires you guys and gives you some structure and ideas on how you can plan out your seasonal night routine this Spring ༓ ☾.｡*ﾟ+

6PM - I try to finish all *work* and projects for the day, I try not to go on my phone so much as the evening goes on ♡

6:30PM - I either have an evening shower and take off my makeup/do my skincare early so I can spend the rest of the evening doing wind-down activities and getting ready for the night. I put my pyjamas on and light a candle in my room so that it smells fresh and lovely when I go back in later ♡

7:00PM - I’ll have a late dinner and usually watch an episode of something comforting whilst I eat. Sometimes this can also be a movie, any Spring seasonal movie of an evening makes me so happy and reminds me it’s this time of year. This is also when I’ll either have a sweet treat or snack or something I’ve either bought from the bakery or baked myself in the day. I know it’s not good to eat late, especially sugar but I try to leave a good gap between the time I eat and the time I go to sleep ♡

8:00/8:30PM - I will go back into my bedroom and put some classical music on or lullaby instrumentals as I find they make me feel the most relaxed and sleepy. Then I give my room a once over tidy so it’s clean when I wake up in the morning. I pick out an outfit for the next day and either lay it out or hang it up ♡

9:00PM - I’ll brush my hair out one last time for the day and tie it back to sleep in. Then I’ll write my to-do list for the next day (usually at my desk with the candle until I blow it out) I also journal for around 15 minutes, just about how my day was ♡

9:30PM/10:00PM - I will either spend some time with my parents before I go into my own room, get into bed and watch an episode of something comforting (usually Anime) read until I feel sleepy, then I go to sleep ♡

I hope you liked this Spring Night routine, I’ll upload my current Morning routine soon. Sending love and whimsical wishes to you all ☽

All my love…

Kellen ✨🌙
