PRETTY PRINCESS TREATMENT

aka the only treatment you should accept.

🎀I am worthy and deserving, i really am just because I was born, I deserve the whole world, i deserve everything I want and more, I am worth more than rare diamonds and gold. I am precious and priceless. I am worthy and deserving of happiness and joy and comfort and love. I know my worth and value, and I know people treat me with respect and kindness that I deserve. Actually, I am really treated like a precious princess. I don't have to do anything, i get everything handed to me on my lap. I get my desires on a silver platter with a side of diamonds. Like I'm actually treated with Care, affection, respect, love, kindness. I am treated like royalty I'm treated like a princess. I just breathe and I know I am worthy, I don't have to lift a finger. I am loved, adored, respected without me trying because I AM ME. I am amazing, talented, top tier, worthy, deserving. I am ONE of ONE. One thing about me is that you'll never find me struggling, I'm always relaxed and self assured because I know within the snap of fingers everything I want is mine. I really give off "effortless" energy. That's because I am a goddess a princess who gets everything she wants. You don't find anyone like me in this whole wide world. I just have to be myself and get everything that I want. I know I call the shots in my reality. I am taken care of , I am protected, I am safe. I don't have to do anything else but be me, I am so grounded and secure in my energy, my value, my worth that it feels so natural for me to get everything that I want. You want to see me succeed, you want to give me everything I deserve, you want to see me win, you want to take care of me, you want to beg for my time and attention because you know how valuable it is. It hurts for you to see me work hard because I'm such a pretty princess. I get spoiled to the point I don't even have to lift a finger, I don't even know what it's like to work hard or struggle because all i receive is spoiled princess treatment. I sit there pretty and all my desires fall into my lap. I am a luxury myself. I am a gift. I am a blessing. I am one of one. I am number one. I am Unmatched . I am rare. I am special. I am unrivaled. I am perfect. I am the blueprint. I am the best. My only job is to be deeply in love with myself, rest will follow. I don't chase I attract. I choose myself, I am chosen. I love myself, I am loved. I respect myself, I'm respected. I cherish myself, I'm cherished. I value my time and attention and effort, I'm valued. I'm obsessed with myself, the world is obsessed with me.🎀

if you're on a path of self-growth and self-improvement I would like to advise you to keep private about it. I'm not saying to keep it a locked secret but don't go around talking about it. I learned it the hard way that speaking freely about our plans to improve ourselves results in bringing out the worst in so many people. people who you have no reason to distrust suddenly will actually wish you ill, because your progress will intimidate them, make them feel inferior, make them face their own insecurities and desires. and the kind of energy that these people produce is the kind of energy that can be a hindrance for you without you even noticing. suddenly you'll be exposing your dreams to an emotional vampire who will, even unconsciously, try and sabotage you. you don't need to share your plans and projects: just show up with the results and it will be enough said 🌸

Why Practicing Your Dream Self Privately is so Important

We all have versions of ourselves we want to be. Let’s call her “She.” 

She may be smart, beautiful, oh-so-sophisticated, knows exactly what She’s doing when walks into a room full of unknown people, accomplished…everything you’re aching to be. 

You’re struggling to achieve Her because you’re not used to being Her. You keep that version 2.0 of yourself in your thoughts but you don’t practice it irl. 

Not practicing it means that when you suddenly have to turn on your charm or have to remember etiquette in the presence of company, you can’t seem to recall those practices. Perhaps you might even feel uncomfortable, shy or awkward trying to remember all those talking points you had noted down, the “elegant gestures” that one tiktoker talks about constantly… suddenly you’re wondering how on Earth you can leave this godawful event without seeming rude. 

The problem is lack of practice. You’re so used to sitting on your couch at home with your legs spread wider than a man on a metro seat that it feels uncomfortable to now sit in a mannered way at the office dinner with the important employees. Your stomach is so used to gobbling down food without patience that you look longingly at the bread basket longer than the person seated in front of you. 

So therefore, if at home you’re not used to being even half of your best self, how are you going to feel fully confident when you’re supposed to bring “Her” out?

Obviously being fully dolled up at home makes little sense. But if you don’t practice the manners, the behaviour, the etiquette of Her - how will you comfortably transition into Her?

Do you expect to just wake up someday and become Her? Do you not think that it will take time, energy, practice to get what you want?

No amount of senseless manifesting or daydreaming is going to make your dreams come true. 

Certain habits, gestures, expressions will only come naturally to you when you make them natural to yourself by way of practice. 

You’ve read enough, saved and liked enough posts, you’ve learned all the mumbo jumbo theory to getting your life together but it’s all useless if you don’t put your learnings to practice irl.

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 - You have come a long way from things you may have had to deal with, if that’s your upbringing ,recent life experience, or events. Notice your change and take a step back to realize you’re not the person you once were , you are not the same person who was put through hardships, you are not the person you were painted as . 𝐓ell yourself you made it this far, even if it’s not exactly ideal ,you did what you needed to do for yourself. Paint a picture of what you want your life to be with all the mistakes , trial and error , and setbacks; make that picture into something bigger and more beautiful.

𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝒂𝒍 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - Limited emotions doesn't mean showing no emotion. If you invest your time and energy in the wrong people, you'll end up feeling drained. Instead of questioning yourself and taking on their problems, focus on creating your own peace of mind. Remember, their reasoning may make sense to them, but it doesn't have to affect you. Stay true to yourself and prioritize your well-being.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐈𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐈𝐭 - The saying that changed my perspective goes like this: 'If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away. If you spend your time creating a beautiful garden, they'll come to you. But if they don't, at least you'll have a beautiful garden to yourself.' This saying applies to many situations, like chasing after someone, trying to control things beyond your control, or trying to save those who don't want to be saved. It's important to prioritize your own mental health by not investing too much in the wrong people or getting fixated on one outcome. Let life flow and embrace the journey that's meant for you.

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 , 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 - This one can be a tough concept to grasp because we often find ourselves caught up in consuming other people's lives for entertainment on social media. We look to those who inspire and admire us, and those who can relate to us. But here's the thing, girlies - true success and happiness can only start with you. It's all about incorporating what inspires you into your everyday life and creating your own path to success. And that's exactly what @favoritedreams is all about - helping you make your dreams and desires a reality.

𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐓𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 - sometimes it's tough to heal because there's this inner child inside us that still needs some healing too. Even though we've grown up and our minds have changed, it's important to show up for ourselves and address our needs. It's like being the parent to our own inner child. We can give ourselves positive affirmations, pat ourselves on the back, listen to nostalgic music that brings us comfort , or even doing the thing’s we couldn’t do. When we're feeling overwhelmed or struggling, we can be that soothing parent to ourselves and provide the care and support we need. It's all about nurturing ourselves in the best way we know how. Keep being there for yourself, and remember that you're doing great!

Start off with a clean foundation- By using an unscented bar of soap. Take your time with this step as it is very important. It is best to wash about twice for this step . Make sure to wash with a washcloth.

Next, apply your scented scrubs or body wash - Now that you're clean from your first layer, apply your favourite scented body washes over top with a loofah, an African net cloth, a silicone body brush, or whatever exfoliating tool you have.

* You've just finished a crucial step without realising it , you've double cleansed. Similar to skin care, double cleansing ensures that your skin is clean and prepped . Before going the additional mile, it is important to start with a a clean surface.

Rinsing with cold water- it’s a game changer from someone who loves hot showers and use to find the idea of taking a cold one crazy. It has so many benefits , I feel more fresh and committed to my routine. This is just personal preference.

Put on lotion - A little tip if you use body oil mix in with your lotion , this method is is also your base to smelling good for a longer period of time .

Put on deodorant - Self explanatory

Perfume of you choice - Finish your routine by smelling good in your favorite scent and you’re done !

**Make sure your scents match , avoid mixing any scent’s together that do not go together , finding your signature scent takes time but keep scents in range **

𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞

Dr. Bronner's Unscented Bar soap - Wash twice with washcloth

Dove body wash Shea butter and vanilla scent - Wash twice with more of an exfoliating tool . Ex ( loofah , African net , Silicone brush )

Tree hut Brown sugar scrub - exfoliate twice a week at most

Vaseline coco radiant Lotion + body oil

Any vanilla scent perfume
