Little things to upgrade your morning routine

Always start your morning with a nice drink like a coffee, matcha, or tea.

Say good morning to your pets, you can also text your friends and maybe, make some plans!! <3

Set an alarm so you wake up on time and don't feel rushed, for me, it's usually enough to just sleep with my blinds open!! :)

Open your windows to let some fresh air in, also make sure to check if any of your plants need water!!

Make-up and music. I love doing my make-up while listening to one of my playlists, it's the perfect way to set the mood <3

Positive affirmations!! You can write them on sticky notes and put them on your mirror so you'll see them while getting ready!! :)

Prepare a cute outfit the night before, and make sure to check the weather so you can plan ahead!

Don't skip breakfast, If you are busy, you can meal prep some overnight oat or chia pudding the night before.

Try reading at least 10 pages in the morning, it will help you feel more refreshed.

Make sure to check your bag, so you don't forget things like your lip combo, keys, and headphones!! Nothing worse than sitting on the subway without headphones (me rn) :((

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! I hope you all have a beautiful Monday/Week <3

Femininity Tips for Beginners

If you are anything like me: poise, sophistication, and class were all learned traits. Here are a few tips for our self-taught girlies trying to tap into their feminine and main character eras. 

Phase 1

🌸Define your aesthetic🌸

What is your personal style? I personally Identify with:

#barbiecore

#y2K

#urban

once you've Identified your personal style It's time to work on your confidence!

Phase 2

✨Mastering Confidence✨

Below are links to two videos that have helped me to change my thought process and tap into my inner confidence. Mastering confidence is essential to exuding true femininity.

How To Be Irresistible 101 - YouTube

The Secret to Being Irresistible: The 4 Key Feminine Behaviors - YouTube

Achieving the "IT" factor starts with impressing yourself rather than seeking validation. The YouTube girlies love to complain about the male gaze, but I am completely ok with it. Remember that desirability begins at home, and we all have the right to obtain it.

Confidence has been the hardest part of my feminity journey , however I have come to the conculusion that the only way you can fully step into your 🦋 era.

Phase 3

💦Hygiene, Hygiene, Hygiene 💦

Ladies looking and smelling your best at all times is must when stepping into your femininity. Laid wigs, soft beat, manicured nails, and toes are my personal preferences for daily appearance. Below are my favorite hygiene videos and blog entries written by yours truly.

Glow-up tips that actually work from your favourite beauty girly (me)

Hot girls don't gatekeep, so here are some of my favourite glow-up tips that actually work. <3

Skin

Find a skincare routine that works for you!! It took me years to find mine, but now my skin is literally perfect. <3 (let me know if you guys want a detailed skincare routine!!)

Don't pick your skin, the less you touch your face, the better.

I believe ice rollers are bs…

If you struggle with dark circles, don't try fixing them through skincare. Most likely, the problem comes from your diet or stress.

Dry brushing is a game-changer!!

Use lotion after every shower and apply a body spray before the lotion is fully absorbed into your skin. You'll smell amazing for DAYS.

Don't try homemade skincare if you already struggle with your skin. I learned it the hard way, lol…

WASH YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES

Hair

The more heat you use, the more damage you'll have.

SILK PILLOWCASES

Never sleep with wet or damp hair.

Stop buying cheap shampoo and conditioner, also make sure to check the ingredients!!

Some ingredients to avoid: Sulfates, Parabens, Polyethene Glycols, Triclosan, Formaldehyde, Synthetic Fragrances and Colors, Dimethicone, Retinyl Palmitate.

I trim my hair every 3 months.

If you have damaged hair, invest in some Olaplex!! my favourites are N4c, N6 and N7. <3

Diet

green juice actually makes you feel better. I make mine at home and LOVE it :)

Balance is key!! I swear by the 80/20 rule.

Drink more water, even if you think you're drinking enough. DRINK MORE

Keto is BS <3

Focus on eating more protein. Usually, low-fat products have more protein, so I just try to buy those, lol.

I eat gluten-free, not by choice… But it did clear my acne, so…

Take supplements, get a blood test done, discuss it with a doctor and start taking whatever they recommend. GAME CHANGER.

EAT MORE VEGETABLES and fruits.

Lifestyle

Focus on being more active, walk more, workout, join a club or sport, dance, whatever works for you!!

I aim for 10K steps, I live in a big city, so I usually walk more than that but still.

Hobbies that don't include screen time. Trust me.

Find your personal style and ALWAYS dress up. <3

TREAT YOURSELF. Buy yourself flowers, and presents, go to your favourite restaurants, vacations!!

Read more. As a classics lover, I can't imagine a life without literature, but even if you don't like classics, any book is better than no book!!

Take more pictures. I've noticed that I have become a lot more present since I've started taking more pictures!! highly recommend :)

I hate to say this, but getting up earlier is lowkey kinda great... been doing it for a few weeks, and unfortunately, I do feel better... they were right...

Get a cat. :)

Mindset

Stop assuming that everyone hates you, they don't, trust me.

Journaling, manifesting, law of attraction, affirmations.

one of my favourite affirmations: "if I weren't capable, the opportunity wouldn't have come my way; I belong here." <3

Stop hanging out with people who drain your energy

stop consuming media that makes you feel bad.

What would the highest version of yourself do?

If you change your mindset, you will change your life.

Romanticise every aspect of your life. <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and glow-up tips in the comments! <3

A Guide To Effortless Beauty

Makeup

It's been said that the "full beat" makeup trend of the late 2010s is no longer in style, and I agree. The makeup cycle has gone from #fullglam to #cleangirl in 5 years. Today we are talking about my favorite happy medium #soft glam.

Soft·Glam /so͞ft'glam/

"effortless, diffused, and almost ethereal—basically, a more polished but natural you."

Ladies, if you want to stand out among the crowd or even just feel like the best version of yourself, a soft beat is a way to go!

Rules of Thumb

Keep your brows shaped and filled in.

Practice makeup application daily until you find your happy medium with products. (I personally utilize concealer and setting powder for a no-makeup makeup-baked look)

Wear moderate lashes ( Soft glam usually looks best with lash extensions or moderately length mink lashes)

Utilize a brown lip line with your shade of nude lipstick and gloss to give that extra pop of effortless glam.

Eyeliner, eyeshadow, and blush are optional.

Skin Care

Skincare is the foundation of all things beauty. A daily skincare routine is essential to minimize and maintain blemishes. Soft glam is about a fresh face with a pop of "I KNOW YOU SEE ME"!

Rules of Thumb

I recommend committing to a twice-daily skincare routine both morning and evening.

Make sure to wake up early enough to wash your face and apply all the necessary products before beginning makeup application.

Plan weekly deep cleanse for the face ( I like to plan my mask for the evening so they can be set without rushing).

I suggest buying skin care products as needed and try not to overstimulate your face.

Hair

Hair can make or break a look. Imagine looking your best, but your hair is all over the place. It's an oxymoron. You should never shorthand your feminine routine by neglecting your hair. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, styling and maintaining your hair is always necessary when executing a soft glam look.

Rules of Thumb

Practice makes perfect; carve out time in your schedule to master simple styles such as curls and crimps.

Make sure your lace is always melted!

Natural hair beauties treat your hair with conditions and detangling as often as your hair type requires.

Create a mood board and set a goal to master each hairstyle.

Deep condition and silicone treat wigs in between each install.

Natural hair beauties master twist outs, edges and ponytails for a polished on-the-go look at all times.
