a magical toner for love and beauty

i love glamour magick and i've noticed such a huge difference in my appearance and love life ever since i started using it on a daily basis! you only need 3 ingredients and it's very easy to make.

all you need is;

moon water

dried rosebuds/rose petals

dried jasmine flowers

i use 10-15 rosebuds, 1 cup of moon water and 1 tablespoon of jasmine and i boil it on low heat for around 15 minutes.

when it's done just let it cool, strain it well and transfer it to a spray bottle or a jar. you can even put your own sigils on the container to make it even stronger!

i suggest making a small batch every 7-10 days and keeping it in the fridge so it doesn't go bad.

i use it every single day on my face, my whole body and even in my hair while repeating my affirmations and i've noticed a huge difference. i look and feel more beautiful, i'm more confident, my skin is glowing, i keep hearing compliments everywhere i go and i feel adored ᥫ᭡

some of my favorite affirmations i like to repeat during my daily beauty rituals:

ᥫ᭡ i'm beautiful and loved

ᥫ᭡ i love myself and i love the way i look

ᥫ᭡ people love spoiling and complimenting me

ᥫ᭡ i'm confident and i know i deserve nothing but the best

ᥫ᭡ my hair always looks perfect

ᥫ᭡ i keep getting prettier and prettier

ᥫ᭡ i love my body and my body loves me

both roses and jasmine have very strong love, confidence, self love and beauty properties and jasmine is also an aphrodisiac so if you affirm for it it can also make you more sexy and magnetic and it can really improve your love life and your sex life!

sending you all love and light 𖹭

At what age does a girl child begin to review her assets and count her deficient parts? When does she close the bedroom door and begin to gaze privately into the mirror at contortionist angles to get a view from the rear, the left profile, the right, to check the curve of her calf muscle, the shape of her thighs, to ponder her shoulder blades and wonder if she is going to have a waistline? And pull in her stomach, throw out her chest and pose again in a search for the most flattering angle, making a mental note of what needs to be worked on, what had better develop, stay contained, or else? At what age does the process begin, this obsessive concentration on the minutiae of her physical being that will occupy some portion of her waking hours quite possibly for the rest of her life? When is she allowed to forget that her anatomy is being monitored by others, that there is a standard of desirable beauty, of individual parts, that she is measured against by boyfriends, loved ones, acquaintances at work, competitors, enemies and strangers? How can she be immune to the national celebration of this season’s movie star sporting this season’s body, to the calendar art in the neighborhood gas station, to the glamorous model in the high-fashion photograph, to the chance remark of a lover, the wistful preference of a husband, the whistle or the unexpected hostile comment heard on the street?

Nourish Your Face With Pixi Skintreats Tonics

When it comes to my facial skincare routine less is more. As I have gotten older my skin has become more sensitive and drier. So I stick to the basics. I cleanse, use a tonic or water based spray, and moisturizer.  For me, the second step is crucial,  if I skip that the rest of my routine falls apart.

Pain is an essential part of the grooming process, and that is not accidental. Plucking the eyebrows, shaving under the arms, wearing a girdle, learning to walk in high-heeled shoes, having one's nose fixed, straightening or curling one's hair—these things hurt. The pain, of course, teaches an important lesson: no price is too great, no process too repulsive, no operation too painful for the woman who would be beautiful. The tolerance of pain and the romanticization of that tolerance begins here, in preadolescence, in socialization, and serves to prepare women for lives of childbearing, self-abnegation, and husband-pleasing. The adolescent experience of the "pain of being a woman" casts the feminine psyche into a masochistic mold and forces the adolescent to conform to a self-image which bases itself on mutilation of the body, pain happily suffered, and restricted physical mobility. It creates the masochistic personalities generally found in adult women: subservient, materialistic (since all value is placed on the body and its ornamentation), intellectually restricted, creatively impoverished. It forces women to be a sex of lesser accomplishment, weaker, as underdeveloped as any backward nation. Indeed, the effects of that prescribed relationship between women and their bodies are so extreme, so deep, so extensive, that scarcely any area of human possibility is left untouched by it.

Men, of course, like a woman who "takes care of herself." The male response to the woman who is made-up and bound is a learned fetish, societal in its dimensions. One need only refer to the male idealization of the bound foot and say that the same dynamic is operating here. Romance based on role differentiation, superiority based on a culturally determined and rigidly enforced inferiority, shame and guilt and fear of women and sex itself: all necessitate the perpetuation of these oppressive grooming imperatives.

The meaning of this analysis of the romantic ethos surely is clear. A first step in the process of liberation (women from their oppression, men from the unfreedom of their fetishism) is the radical redefining of the relationship between women and their bodies. The body must be freed, liberated, quite literally: from paint and girdles and all varieties of crap. Women must stop mutilating their bodies and start living in them. Perhaps the notion of beauty which will then organically emerge will be truly democratic and demonstrate a respect for human life in its infinite, and most honorable, variety.

what i love most about fragrance is that i can tailor my scent to how i feel that day or the feeling i want to evoke. my perfume choice is a concept that guides my adornment ritual

i'm so excited for the summer heat to lower and for the best season for fragrances to finally arrive. my fall fragrances typically tend to stay around amber floral, chypre floral, floral gourmand, and warm/spicy types. this year i'm leaning towards more warm and sheer scents, white amber, and warm florals.

A Dynamic Duo: Unveiling the Benefits of Aloe Vera Gel with Vitamin E in Skincare

Introduction:

When it comes to skincare, the quest for natural and effective ingredients is ever-present. Among the diverse array of botanical wonders, the combination of aloe vera gel with vitamin E has gained immense popularity in recent years. Both aloe vera gel and vitamin E are known for their exceptional skincare properties, and when combined, they create a dynamic duo that can work wonders for your skin. In this article, we will delve into the synergistic benefits of aloe vera gel with vitamin E in skincare, exploring how this powerful combination can enhance your beauty regimen.

Understanding the Power of Aloe Vera Gel and Vitamin E:

Aloe Vera Gel:

Aloe vera gel, derived from the leaves of the aloe vera plant, has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions and promote skin health. Its natural properties include:

Hydration: Aloe vera gel deeply moisturizes the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Soothing: It calms irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation.

Healing: Aloe vera accelerates the skin's natural healing process, making it ideal for treating minor wounds and burns.

Anti-Aging: Its antioxidants help combat free radicals and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Non-Greasy: Aloe vera gel is lightweight and non-greasy, making it suitable for all skin types.

Vitamin E:

Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant, is renowned for its protective and reparative effects on the skin. Some of its remarkable properties include:

Antioxidant Defense: Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.

Moisturizing: It helps retain skin moisture, preventing dryness and promoting elasticity.

Scar Reduction: Vitamin E supports the fading of scars and blemishes, promoting a more even skin tone.

Sun Damage Protection: Its photoprotective properties shield the skin from harmful UV rays.

Anti-Inflammatory: Vitamin E reduces inflammation, making it beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin.

The Synergy of Aloe Vera Gel with Vitamin E:

Combining aloe vera gel with vitamin E creates a potent blend that maximizes the benefits of both ingredients. The synergy between the two enhances their individual properties, resulting in a skincare powerhouse. Here are the key advantages of using aloe vera gel with vitamin E:

Intense Hydration: The combined formula deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, helping it retain moisture for longer periods.

Enhanced Healing: The anti-inflammatory and healing properties of aloe vera gel, coupled with the scar-fading abilities of vitamin E, accelerate the skin's recovery process.

Increased Antioxidant Defense: The antioxidant-rich combination provides heightened protection against environmental damage and premature aging caused by free radicals.

Soothing and Calming: Aloe vera gel's soothing properties complement vitamin E's anti-inflammatory benefits, offering relief to sensitive or irritated skin.

Improved Skin Texture: The blend promotes smoother, softer skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Incorporating Aloe Vera Gel with Vitamin E into Your Skincare Routine:

The beauty of this dynamic duo lies in its versatility. You can incorporate aloe vera gel with vitamin E into your daily skincare routine in various ways:

Serum: Look for serums that contain both aloe vera gel and vitamin E and apply it before your moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration and antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer: Choose a moisturizer enriched with aloe vera gel and vitamin E to nourish and protect your skin throughout the day.

DIY Face Mask: Create a homemade face mask by blending pure aloe vera gel with vitamin E oil. Apply the mask once a week to promote skin rejuvenation and radiance.

After-Sun Care: Use a product with aloe vera gel and vitamin E to soothe and repair the skin after sun exposure.

Conclusion:

In the realm of skincare, the pairing of aloe vera gel with vitamin E has proven to be a game-changer. The combined benefits of deep hydration, antioxidant defense, scar reduction, and soothing properties make this duo a must-have for any skincare enthusiast. By embracing the power of aloe vera gel with vitamin E in your beauty routine, you can unlock the true potential of natural skincare and unveil radiant, healthy, and revitalized skin.
