Hydrate like your life depends on it, because your enjoyment of life sure does.
Get an expensive, high-quality multivitamin. Drugstore brands don't cut it.
Put on sunscreen before your face is ever hit by rays, and watch your bedroom shades. I've received a sunburn from the morning sun peeking through before!
Research retinoids like retinol & tretinoin, and why mega-dosing vit A can function similarly. Don't forget your neck if applying topically.
Find out what you're allergic to. Eliminate all the common allergens for a week - wheat, dairy, sugar, nuts, shellfish, eggs - and then reintroduce them one at a time. Your skin and gut will tell you if something is harming you if you're patient and LISTEN to your body.
Environmental allergens will kill your skin too - get tested for allergies to pet dander, mold, dust mites, etc. especially if you wake up with mucus habitually or feel tired a lot.
Fill your diet with antioxidants.
Quit using lip balms that make your lips more chapped and switch to applying oils.
details matter! <3
🍡 hair - clean, frizzy free, moisturized, shiny, no split ends. what suits your face? long straight dark hair, blondie with layers, curly red hair? try out different things. keep your under tone in mind.
🍡 hands - clean & polished nails, moisturized hands. your nails should not look chewed or ripped off. they should be a healthy length, shiny and your cuticles should always be tended to.
🍡 face - clear, dewy. (im not saying clear skin = perfect and beautiful). just make sure you have a solid skin care routine that fits your needs. balanced features.
🍡 jewelry - anything you like. again, keep your undertone in mind. what looks better on you? gold or silver?
🍡 lashes - do they suit your face? be honest. extra long lash ≠ perfect lash. let’s make sure we are enhancing our beauty and not hiding it
🍡 body - clean, moisturized, smelling yummy. i like when my skin is glowing and sparkly like honey and caramel. oils and glitters are my essential!
🍡 clothes - matching, wrinkle free, fresh scent, matching socks, suits your body & style. long or short skirts? layered tops or crop tops? trench coats or fur jackets? what’s your vibe?
🍡 shoes - no scuffs, dirt, rips. make sure they compliment your outfit and you can actually walk in them. you don’t have to suffer to look good. go shoe shopping!
🍡 accessories - adds on to every outfit
🍡 makeup - blended! UNDERTONESSSSSS! it helps SO much when picking out makeup!!! concealer&foundation, blush, eyeshadow and lip glosses&lip sticks!! trust me!!! and remember, enhance your beauty!
🍡 eyebrows - clean and groomed. what suits your face? clean cut? bushy brows? thin or thick?
🍡 scent - something for people to remember you by. make sure to pair your perfume with body mists and a body butter for a long lasting scent. don’t forget about your hair! spray hair perfume into your brush or comb for an extra whiff of yumminess!
🍡 feet - no dead skin, no nasty cuticles, moisturized, polished toe nails. i love toe rings and anklets on mine! the essential details for me really.

I’m so committed to the pretty girl life that I always get dolled up, even when I’m just going to the grocery store at 10am. When you set a standard for how you like to present yourself to the world, no event is too small to look your best.
I could totally see me doing something like this with one of those protein whipped Greek yogurt recipes! Anybody else see the vision?
Both self worth and empathy for yourself are important to your mental and physical health. But what is the difference between the two?
Self Worth - Defined
Self worth is understanding your importance as a person. Understanding that you can accept and give love, and knowing your values.
Self Empathy - Defined
Empathy for yourself is slightly different and can be absent when self worth is present. Having empathy for yourself is setting boundaries with you. This includes making promises to yourself and following through with them (ex. I will exercise for an hour… and then actually doing it) and listening to your body and brain when they are communicating (an example of this would be hunger/thirst signals).
How do these feelings work together?
Self worth is a great foundation!! Knowing what you deserve and how you should be treated is meeting your basic needs. Practicing empathy for others is easy, but practicing empathy for yourself will help you build routine and increase productivity. If it’s a statement you wouldn’t say to a friend, don’t say it to yourself, and turn the positive beliefs about your worth into positive actions that reflect how you feel. <3

bombshell⋆.ೃ࿔*:・💗🧁
WHO IS THE BOMBSHELL? ;
the bombshell is the epitome of confidence and femininity and even danger. when i think of bombshells i think of the perfect blend of oxymorons. sultry, but sweet. playful but also poised. some of my favorite bombshells are tyra banks, adriana lima and gisele bündchen…💬🎀
THE BOMBSHELL SIGNATURE LOOK ;
the signature bombshell look is comprised of four signature components—that glowy tanned skin, the emphasis on the eyes, bombshell hair, and the attitude.
GLOWY TANNED SKIN ;
use a shimmering body lotion and sparkly body oils to make you glow and sparkle like a star! use highlighter in ur makeup routine on ur cheekbones and on ur collarbones to elevate ur makeup. some shimmery bodycare recommendations from me are ->
❤︎ any fragrance that also has glitter in it (i live for the glittery bare vanilla scent from victorias secret)
❤︎ the mac highlighter in the shade soft and gentle
❤︎ victorias secret indulge glittery body oil (GURL, quite literally one of the best oils i've ever put on)
EMPHASIS ON THE EYES ;
use warm neutrals and shimmering eyeshadows to define ur eyes. for example a champagne shade on the lids paired with a soft brown in the crease is perfection. subtle winged eyeliner with fluffy lashes is the way to go. to achieve the fluffy lashes use a volumizing mascara or use falsies.
BOMBSHELL HAIR ;
bombshell hair is big and bouncy and voluminous! and utterly glamorous. when styling ur hair emphasize volume in ur hair by applying hairspray upside down (a trick i learnt) or using a root-lifting spray. curl ur hair in big sections and shake out your curls and run your fingers through them for that “effortless” finish.
BOMBSHELL ENERGY AND ATTITUDE ;
the bombshell energy incorporates playfulness, femininity, confidence. its about owning yourself entirely and exuding that confidence thats fierce. know that YOU ARE THE MOMENT and it'll show in everything that u do. be fun, be flirty, be intense and dont wait on anyone to tell u to shine cuz the only validation that matters is ur own.
