achieving buttery smooth skin ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° .

achieving soft skin starts before the shower!! so having a pre shower routine is essential

DRY BRUSHING

get. a. dry. brush. just do it. it made my skin so so soft before I even got into the shower. dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, exfoliates the skin, removes toxins, etc. i do this one- two times per week! but it all depends on your skin sensitivity.

MOISTURIZING

right when you get out of the shower, you need to moisturize. lotion, body oil to seal everything in, and then perfume, all in that order = the softest skin ever

SHAVING

something that could cause dry skin is your shaving routine. its recommended to use at least a four blade razor to get the closest, smoothest shave. I personally like using baby oil or something along the lines of that to shave because it doesn't irritate skin and it always makes my shave come out amazing. please please exfoliate before you shave. it removes the layer of dead skin so you're able to get a closer shave

EXFOLIATING

same thing with the dry brush, i love a good sugar scrub or exfoliating gloves. keep in mind you don't need to use these every single day since it will damage your skin.

SOME OF MY FAVE PRODUCTS FOR SOFT SKIN:

EOS vanilla cashmere body lotion

palmers cocoa butter body oil

victoria's secret vanilla body oil

bath and body works strawberry pound cake lotion

treehut sugar scrubs

pure shea butter

palmers body gloss

idk call me a conspiracy theorist but this whole "i don't deserve a good life" thing kinda seems like a lie. a trick pushed by Big Trauma.

my current glow up goals!

in order to grow and improve it is essential to have clear and easy-to-maintain goals! after a lot of procrastinating thinking i have finally narrowed down my main glow up goals so that i have something tangible to work towards. i have also written down the necessary tasks to accomplish these goals so that i can return to them whenever i feel stuck or demotivated.

1.) appearance and confidence:

one of my biggest glow up goals is to become confident in my appearance! i have never consistently felt good about the way that i look and i know that there are many lovely steps i can take to change this. i want to learn how to love myself and put in the work to show my body and face that i love them! ♥︎

shower + wash hair every morning to start the day off confidently

maintain a skincare routine that works for my skin

save up money to build a wardrobe that i love and feel confident in

learn pilates to improve my core strength and fix my posture

work out 3x a week and get to my preferred weight

put on makeup every day and learn what looks best on me

stretch every morning and night so that my body feels healthy

2.) studying and career:

having a career in something that i adore is absolute essential to me. i would ideally like to manifest financial freedom so that i can spend my days helping people through lifestyle blogging, coaching, and art creation under a trauma-informed/LOA/nondualist lens. i would also love to be a renowned musician who works with my absolute favourite artists in their projects, and be beloved in my music community. my main tasks in this category are studying guitar and piano to become the musician i know that i can be (which will be the "studyblr" part of my blog, and i'm so excited to figure out how i will track my progress with this)! i will also be focusing on manifesting financial abundance so that i can go to school for art therapy, which involves developing proper saving / spending habits until that sweet, sweet windfall of money comes in hehe ♥︎

practice guitar for at least an hour a day to start, and build this up to at least 4 hours a day once my guitar goals are more refined

practice piano for at least an hour a day, working on the same songs i am learning on guitar and working on technique

develop healthy spending habits until i have an abundance of money; focus on repaying my debts and saving for school

find a way to make more money in a way that is super enjoyable for me until i am able to manifest financial freedom

maintain a consistent manifesting routine and self-concept so that i can truly live my dream life and have my dream career!

3.) mental health and wellness:

it is sooo important to me to use my time in ways that are actually fulfilling and enriching. to become my dream girl, i must get rid of mindless activities and replace them with joyful and expansive hobbies and projects. i also must fix my sleep schedule to make sure i am getting enough rest, and learn how to overcome isolation through making new friends and nurturing the ones that i have! ♥︎

replace mindless scrolling with enriching activities and hobbies that i actually enjoy; create a meaningful + exciting list of projects

maintain a consistent sleep schedule and make sure i am getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night until my body adjusts

create a friend group that makes me feel loved and supported; nurture my relationships and nurture myself with socializing

get my drivers license so that i don't have to waste time on public transit anymore!

4.) self concept and self love:

deep down i know that i am worthy of good love, good friends, and an abundance of success and praise. however, it's time that i really internalize those feelings and learn to love myself the way that i deserve by changing my feelings of shame into feelings of love and compassion! ♥︎

journal about my feelings more consistently so that i can work through the shame and guilt spirals that come from RSD

learn more about "parts work" and "internal family systems" so that i can create a lovely library of all my beautiful parts, building them a home that they all feel safe in and where i have easy access to resources when i need them

learn how to be my vibrant and beautiful self around everyone without fear and without compromising my needs, so that i can figure out who i actually enjoy spending time with

continue practicing listening to my body, heart, and mind when something or someone doesn't feel right or safe for me

follow through on my goals and routines and adjust them when necessary so that i can build trust in myself that i can accomplish anything that i put my mind to!

thank you for reading lovely friends, i am so grateful for your encouragement and support and i can't wait to make you proud! hehe. if you have similar goals and want an accountability buddy, please feel free to dm me and we can encourage each other to do our best! love you lots and believe in you so, so much ♥︎

♡Dear Diary♡

Heyyy girliesss this week has been super crazy for me and I need to spill lol <333

♡Education♡

This week was so exhaustingggg. Taking six classes this semester is a bit more exhausting than it was last semester. I am a bit confused in my psychology statistics class. The professor has a me a bit confused but he is so nice! That’s the only the thing that sucks is how nice he is but he isn’t the best explainer for someone with my learning style. My bio class is going well but so much notes and stuff to learn I just can’t. But I got this I know I do I just need to pull through this semester and then I’ll be free in December. I love school when I’m not in school but hate it when I’m in school. I love the structure school gives my life.

♡Mental♡

I had my first counseling session for the semester it was so amazing my new counselor is amazing she is so relaxed and I definitely feel like a click with her. I had a man last semester and I am so happy I didn’t force myself to stick with him he wasn’t a terrible person but he wasn’t what I needed in a counselor. I needed a woman, someone who understood me and I could be vulnerable with I didn’t feel comfortable enough to cry in-front of him and I felt like he didn’t know how to help me. Mentally I’ve been in a healthy space challenging myself and my ways of thinking every single day it’s tough some days and amazing others but that is life.

♡Physical♡

I’ve been walking an hour every single day and I’m so proud of myself! Hitting close to 10,000 steps. I am not focused on the number of steps I’m more focused on the time I spend walking everyday. I’m going to start Pilates again soon and I’m super excited to start Pilates. I’ve been slowly working my way into my fitness these past three weeks it’s been walking consistently for an hour a day and in two weeks it’ll be an hour of walking a day and Pilates three times a week. Slow and steady wins the race. Resetting my fitness journey was the best thing I’ve done for myself. If you’d love a blog post on this let me know.

♡Hobbies♡

I am currently thinking of taking up a few new hobbies. I went hiking this weekend it was so much fun!! I met so many nice people and had such nice conversations. I walked a lot we didn’t really “hike” we walked around a beautiful large park that was filled with large gardens and fountains it was beautiful. I met another hijabi we conversed about hormones, studies I found online, careers, college and so much more. There were other amazing kind people as well. I can’t wait for our next hike! I need to go shopping for more “Nike hijabs” and hiking friendly clothing for hijabi’s because I can not pass out lol. I plan on joining more clubs that pique my interests<3333

Have an amazing weekend my lovessss and continue to affirm yourself, push yourself, and enjoy yourself. You are right where you need to be in life right now and you should enjoy every bit of It love youuu girliesss<33333

🌸 Selfshiptober 🌸

Day 3 : Embrace + Blood

🌸 Me and Dukey were on a date at a cute 'lil diner last night!! They had some yummy burgers, I had mine with chopped onions. Dukey only got a plain burger, not wanting to spend too much, so I let him have some of my fries. I don't know what was more appetizing: the food, or the greying man right in front of me. 🌸

🌸 Our sandwiches were followed up by a pair of bloody mary cocktails, a favorite of mine. Duke got it to be a romantic, saying it reminded him of how much he loves with me. He's such a flirt. 🌸

🌸 After about an hour or so, we paid our bill and started walking to our ride. We were both a little buzzed from the bar so we were both stumbling a little bit, holding onto each other for support. His broad shoulders and his strong grip made me feel so safe. 🌸

🌸 "Rosemary, you-you are the most prettiest damn lady. I ought to take you home 'an ravage you, woman." He spoke, slurring his words in his drunken haze. 🌸

🌸 He laughed first at that, followed by my own giggling. He was always funny, but always moreso after some hooch. I notice his face becoming redder, a light blush filling his cheeks. He's such a cute patootie. 🌸

🌸 "Dukey, you better watch who you're talkin' to." I snapped back playfully. "'sides, last time I checked, you wanted to mess around a little differently" The stoat feels a sharp smack on his ass, jumping with a hoot and a hollar. 🌸

🌸 That's when I started feeling a bit dizzy. Not drunk dizzy, but that one dizziness I've grown accustomed to. My head started feeling lighter too :((. By now, Dukey would have noticed I was about to faint, but with the alcohol in our systems, he didn't realize 'till after I fell. 🌸

🌸 I didn't know what happened after, but I woke up this morning in Dukey's bed. At first my head was spinning, trying to adjust myself with my surroundings. I had a huge hangover. I felt around my body, feeling the cotton sheets around my body, a hole or two spotting the bedding. 🌸

🌸 I could recognize it by just the feeling. It was the kinda of rough and fuzzy you get from worn down fabric, and his room always smelled vaguely like a dusty thrift store. I could taste a hint of iron on my tongue, something so familiar but unsure. 🌸

🌸 I checked my phone, looking through my notifications, see if he left me any messages to wake up too. 7:32. Nothing of course; he never really cared for text too much. I was about to get up when I heard the door know turn, and the door bust open with a familiar sight. 🌸

🌸 The stoat walks in carrying a breakfast tray, saddled with a pair of plates, adorned with some flowers from his back garden. There was some eggs and sausage, the steam still emanating from the dish. 🌸

🌸 That's when he spots me. "Rosemary!" He exclaimed, running to my bedside, almost dropping the food in the process. "I-, you're okay!" Dukey hurriedly sets the tray on the bedside, before running to hold me in his arms, a hand rubbing my back. He lays his head on my shoulder as I can hear soft whimpers. 🌸

🌸 As he holds me close, I can feel that taste of iron waft up to my nose, along with Duke's familiar cheap cigarette and sweat smell. "Yes, I'm okay! What happened?" 🌸

🌸 The grey stoat pulls away, still holding me by the shoulders as if afraid to let me go. As he does so, I notice he's completely shirtless. For him, it's a rare sight, as he's almost always wearing his wifebeater. There's a couple of red stains on his arms, too. 🌸

🌸 "Ya busted your face open last night. Had to bring you back my m'self and nurse ya back to health." Duke looks me straight-on after saying this, his expresssion turnin' from a smile to a look of guilt. "I should have caught you. My dumbass didn't catch you and you had to p-" 🌸

🌸 I cut him off, placing a finger to his sullen lips. "Dukey, I love you, so much. Thank you, baby." I comfort him, his unnaturally shaken stature returning to a more cooled state. "I love you too, darlin'." 🌸

🌸He squeezes me into another hug, this time out of pure love as opposed to worry. The embrace lingers for a while longer, maybe a couple of minutes. Who knows? I don't any of us we're keeping track. Simply enjoying the feeling of each other was enough to make all the blood and worry melt away into nothingness.
