☀️ im getting that summer glow (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) 

june is coming soon! here’s the perfect way to spend your summer (kind of…) while getting a total glow up ✶⋆.˚

𓂃💿 ࣪˖  ִֶָ today’s topic : *my summer reset* 

as well all know, summer is the perfect time to relax while getting a complete glow up 🧘🏻‍♀️ heres how we can have real fun and spend less screentime in june 🥂

˖᯽ ݁˖ a digital detox is where you choose to spend less time on your device for a temporary period of time! putting your phone away 1-2 hours away can really help increase melatonin flow and lead to better sleep 😴 taking this small step away from screens can also help you become more productive and actually touch some grass 

˖᯽ ݁˖ since we’re on the topic of being productive, you can consider finding a new hobby 💗 it doesn’t have to be very serious as long as you get something productive out of it and have lots of fun <3 some you can try out include : 

> doodling, collage making, decorating your room, learning another language, making moodboards, getting into new music

as long as you have fun and always remember to start small ! 

˖᯽ ݁˖  take this june to work on loving and caring for yourself 🍥 some of the ways you can do that are by starting a gratitude journal, stretching for a short while (just 10 minutes is enough) every morning, and lastly repeating positive affirmations everyday! 

> “there’s always room for improvement”, “my goals won’t come themselves, i have to work hard”, “i’m perfect just the way i am” 

💥 well this is the last of it thankuu so much for reading till here and stay tuned for the next chapter 👀 i promise this will definitely turn your summer / june around

Summer glow up plan🌺

Self explanatory title but I’m backsssss😝

Glow starts now:

Invest in oils🍧

I recommend you invest in three oils: body, hair, and lash (also known as serum). Body oil gives your body a nice shine that’s perfect for summer and also keeps your skin moisturized. For body oil, I recommend the Saltair body shimmer oil! For hair, use argan oil to boost shine and help with scalp health. Lash serum can help thicken and grow eyelashes. I recommend the ordinary lash serum or GrandeLASH serums.

Exercising🌺

You don’t have to go to the gym all the time to get fit!! My niche exercise tip is to use olds exercise cds, I personally love 21-Day Fix! But if you don’t have any of those, you can also use YouTube workouts (they are just as good and free)! Some other options are swimming, jogging/running/walking, dancing, or playing a sport of your choice. Even though exercising is important, please include rest or active recovery days to routine!

mental glow🌌

This summer, we need to be working on our physical AND mental health. It’s not hot to be a mental wreck. I recommend shadow journaling, but normal journaling works as well. It’s a great way to decompress and learn a bit about yourself. Movement is a great way to help too. It’s much easier to spiral when you’re still, so please make sure you’re moving throughout the day!

Drop negatives🐚

Don’t be afraid to drop things that are pulling you down. Bad habits, bad people, all the bad things. Go through your contacts, social media, photos, and even possessions. It can be scary to cut people off, but it’s so much better to not keep them around if they are making you feel bad. Work on dropping bad habits, too. Once you’ve dropped all the things making you feel worse, it’s much easier to move forward!

Nourish yourself!!🥝

On the topic of bad habits, please try to drop your bad eating habits as well. This can be for whether you aren’t eating enough, eating too much, or just aren’t giving your body the proper things it needs. It’s difficult to come out of a bad habit like these, but you can find help. There are plenty of apps that can help you eat better! I personally recommend MyNetDiary. You can also seek help from others and find professional help if that’s what you need. There’s no shame in trying to help yourself feel better!

I LOVE SUMMER ALSO HI EVERYONE🥝🐚🌺🍧🌌

become “naturally” pretty

I’ve been told I’m naturally pretty, which I appreciate, but it’s not exactly true. Before I start giving tips, I want to say that everyone is beautiful in their own way, and everyone has potential. Don’t feel pressured to change your looks to fit standards, because they are superficial and don’t last forever. Your natural beauty is forever! Anyway, here’s what I’ve done to be a “natural” beauty!

Tips start here:

Invest in oils

The three oils I urge you to invest in are body oils, which keep you moisturized and give you a radiant glow, hair oils, which can make your hair healthier and shiny, and eyelash oil, which can help grow your eyelashes!

FOCUS on your mental health

People who are happy always seem much more beautiful than ones who are not. It is important to prioritize your mental health and take care of yourself. I’ve worked on this by journaling, meditating, and spending more time outdoors. I really recommend doing at least one of those three things, they’ve literally done wonders for my nervous system

Keep moving

I don’t workout for an hour everyday. Some days I don’t even workout for 10 minutes. But no matter what, you should always get some movement in. It can literally be anything! Jogging, walking, stretching, walking up and down the stairs a couple times, as long as you at least move a little bit everyday.

Remember the little things

I think part of being attractive is genuinely just taking care of yourself and doing things people won’t necessarily notice. Keep your nails tidy ( I’ve gotten lots of compliments from just growing my nails and keeping them nice), have good posture, ALWAYS put on deodorant (people know if you don’t.), and eat things that are good for your body. These are things people may not notice about you at first glance, but they show!!

u r so pretty !!

No matter how many times you've stumbled, burnt out, given up the door back to yourself is never locked.

what has made my life worth living !

No comment these are just things that worked for me

List starts here:

Enjoying being cringe

As of late, I think that’s it’s becoming more normalized to be a bit cringe (at least on my side of the internet), and I love that! I feel that when I am most truly myself, wearing my favorite clothes, partaking in things I love, and doing things that are seen as “weird” I feel more free. It’s always been tough for me because of my crippling fear of being judged, but I strongly encourage you to just be your full, true self!

Writing

When I say this, I dont just mean in my blog. I believe writing is so good for the soul, no matter what kind it is. Journaling, story writing, making articles, poetry, WHATEVER! Being creative and expressing your emotions is healing, and genuinely can improve your life. AI “writing” doesn’t count obviously

Let yourself be human 

Sing, dance, put down the phone, love, be a a bit messy, create art, do these things that make us human. I probably sing almost everyday, but guess what? I’m horrible at it! These things don’t need to be talents, they can just be things that bring you joy. I think sometimes be make things bigger than they are and dehumanize ourselves, so it’s important to let yourself just be human.

Get a purpose/goal

If you’ve ever watched a TV show or movie, played a game, or read a book, chances are the characters had goals that kept them moving forward. That doesn’t have to be just fiction! Having a goal, no matter how big or small, isn’t a great way to give life more purpose.

Please keep living everyone

morning self care🌅!

Here are some of my morning habits along with some others I think are good!

Habits start here:

De-puff

In the morning, it is normal for your face to become a little puffy. In order to.p combat this, I like to wash my face with cold water and ice my face in the morning! You can buy an ice roller, or simply fill a bowl with water and ice and then dump your face in it. Doing this can help snatch your face and make pores look smaller!

Drinks

it’s important to drink water when you wake up! I usually drink glass or two after I’ve washed my face. You don’t have to drink just water though, there are plenty of fun drinks you can have in the morning! Personally, I like to drink tea (green tea is my favorite) or matcha, but coffee is good as well. These drinks can help you wake up, and have other health benefits depending on which you choose to drink.

Affirmations

Not really sure about the logic or science behind this one, but I usually feel like when I affirm in the morning, my day goes well. Like I said, I’m not really sure about any of the science of manifesting, but @honeytonedhottie has some really good guides on it! (Her whole account is great honestly).

Plan outfits the night before

On school and work mornings, planning your outfits the night before can really help reduce stress the next day. I think one of the worst feelings is the world is digging through your clothes when you are already late and not even ready yet. My tip is to have 2-3 outfit choices ready in case you don’t like one of the outfits the next morning!

Breakfast

As the saying goes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Eating a healthy breakfast can help prepare your mind and body for the day. Some of my favorite healthy breakfasts are: an açaí bowl, overnight oats, avocado toast, a fruit bowl, a smoothie, or whatever you like! Ever since I started eating healthy and filling breakfasts, I have genuinely felt much better.

Have a good morning

HOW 2: be a makeup pro

While I wouldn’t say I’m the best (I still mess up my mascara weekly), I would say I’m pretty good at makeup! I remember wearing bright pink eyeshadow and blue lipstick to my first day of 4th grade… Anyway, I can’t tell you how to specifically do your makeup since everyone’s faces and preferences are different, but here are some tips!

Tips start here:

Best mascara application method

instead brushing mascara on, think of it like brushing your teeth! Move the wand in a back and forth horizontal motion (↔️ like this emoji). It helps group your lashes together (this can be used to create the manga lashes look)!

Clean your tools

PLEASE CLEAN YOUR PUFFS, BRUSHES, SPONGES, ETC!!! I used to always wonder why I was breaking out in some spots when my I literally hadn’t cleaned my tools in weeks. Also, it’s kind of gross.

Pick out your perfect routine

If you’re planning on following a routine from the internet, make sure it’s one that fits you! For example, try to find a tutorial by someone with the same face shape as you. This is a great way to learn what works for you and learn tips!

Let your toner sit before applying makeup

Letting primer sit just makes your base look better! It helps prevent peeling and makes a great base for everything else. You don’t have to let it sit for very long (I usually do around 1-2 minutes).

Don’t fall for trends

This goes back to the perfect routine tip. Following trends mindlessly can just lead overconsumption and you being stuck with a ton of products you don’t want. Once you’ve found your tried and true, just stick to it! Don’t buy a trendy product unless you’re sure it’s something that will work for you (and that you actually want it).

P.S. all of these are just things I personally believe improved my makeup, so please this all with a grain of salt!!

Exam season kind of killed me for a couple weeks but I’m alive again

Welcome to your future - 2026

The new year is almost here! 2026 is the year of the horse - a year of intentional movement, discipline, connection, and freedom. Here’s what we should be doing as we move into the new year, and what changes we should be embracing in the new year.

Tips start here:

Designing the new year

Get a notebook (or open up a doc/notes app) and write down your goals for the new year. Do you want to travel? Get into honors society? Cut your hair? Write that down. Personally, I like to split my goals up into things like academics, appearance, activities (like travel), mental, and physical health. At the end of the year, it’s really fun to look back and see all of the goals you’ve accomplished!

Refresh

Start off the new year clean. This can mean anything for you - clean your room, or your phone, get rid of unnecessary items, drop people who are crowding your path forward, whatever you choose. Refreshing for the new year with a clean slate is the best way to grow forward.

Create the mood

Similar to the first tip, I encourage you to make some things to prepare you for the new year, like a mood-board (this can be digital or physical), playlist, or Pinterest board to help you visualize the new year and new you. It can also help you work towards your goals since you look/listen to it often.

Embrace change

A lot can change in a new year, and how you handle said changes is very important. Having optimism for change is my best tip. Don’t dwell or try to stop change, that will get you no where. Instead, imagine where change can take you (optimistically), be flexible, and allow yourself to grow.

What we are bringing to the new year:

2026 is the year to move forward in life. The year of the horse represents discipline and growth. This year, I encourage you to free yourself from things like toxic people and drama, and focus on what is most important. Connect with yourself and take the next steps forward!

Happy almost new year!

Merry Christmas !!❄️

Merry Christmas everyone! If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a happy Hanukkah, Kwanza, Diwali, Yule, Bodhi day, or whatever you choose to celebrate! I am so grateful for everyone who enjoys my blog, and I hope you all continue to support me. It will never cease to amaze me how to many people like my blog! Thank you so much, and Merry Christmas!

(P.S. are there any posts / guides you would like to see from me? If so, please let me know!)

HOW 2: sleep better

Did you know if you don’t sleep you die

Tips start here:

No naps after 3

I love taking naps, but I’m telling you, please don’t take a nap after 3pm. It can make it harder to fall asleep at night, it decrease your sleep pressure so you will not be as tired at bedtime.

Get outside during the day

Getting proper sunlight for at least 30 minutes a day is great for your sleep! Sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep at night, and help improve sleep quality.

Make your room sleep ready

For most comfortable sleep, it’s recommended you keep your room dark and cool, and without electronics (TV, phone, computer, etc.) These can be distracting and disrupt your sleep. The darkness and cold helps signal to your brain that’s it time to go to sleep.

Foods to avoid before bed

Alcohol, heavy foods, caffeine, and certain medicines can disrupt your sleep. Alcohol can help you relax, but you will not have REM sleep (and it’s overall just bad for you). Heavy foods and drinks can cause indigestion and make you wake up to use the restroom (light snacks are okay though). Caffeine is literally meant to help you wake up, so that’s pretty obvious. Some certain medicines can disrupt sleep patterns. If they are giving you issues, I recommend you talk your health care provider/pharmacist for more information.

Don’t lie awake

If you are lying in bed awake for more than 20 minutes and are feeling worried, get up and something relaxing and keep the room dim until you feel tired. Feeling anxious about not sleeping makes it harder to sleep!

Happy sleeping!

What I did for a massive glow up

Please take note this says what I did. These methods may not necessarily be what works for everyone!

tips start here:

Eat your way to beauty

Healthy skin starts on the inside! Some of my favorite foods to eat for skin health include: spearmint or green tea, fermented foods, Brazil nuts, drink LOTS of water, turmeric and ginger shots, and plenty of fruits. Not only is healthy eating good for you on the inside, but your eating habits will reflect how you look and feel, so please try to eat well!

Exercising consistently

I’m not the type of person to tell you to work out everyday and go to the gym constantly because I’m not really into that stuff. Instead, I like to run 2-3 times a week, do at home workouts, dance, and walk almost everyday. Make sure to have a rest day, too! If you don’t feel comfortable not doing anything, you can walk or do something light like yoga/pilates on your rest day.

Get good sleep

Getting good sleep does so many good things. It can reduce your risk of cancer and more deadly things, improve mood and brain function, aid in weight loss, and help you get glowing skin! The amount of sleep you need varies for everyone, but please try to get around 8-9 hours of sleep per night. I plan on making a more in-depth guide on sleep soon!

Hair care!

Hair is something that’s hard to give advice on, as everyone’s is different, but more me (as someone with fine frizzy hair), I use: Cer 100 shampoo and conditioner, Gisou honey infused hair oil, Fino hair mask, and a satin bonnet. Since everyone’s hair is different, I encourage you to research and find what’s right for you!

Thank you for reading! 🦌

HOW 2: make friends

Welcome to HOW 2 !! I will take you on as my cricket and teach you what I know

Tips start here:

Give the right impression

As someone who is constantly told I look sad, giving the right impression is very important to me. If people think you are uninterested, angry, or have your own personal things going on, they may be less likely to approach you. So, in order to look approachable, I try to:

1) keep shoulders back and spine straight (good posture is attractive),

2) keep a neutral look on my face by raising my eyebrows or slightly smiling,

3) scroll on my phone or listen to music in public less often to seem more open

Get out of your comfort zone

Make the first move to talk to someone, try something new, join a club or local group, etc. Anything that scares you is something you should do! Not only can you make friends by doing it, but you can also build character! Another thing: stop reaching out only when you need to. Talk to someone just because

Don’t be scared to give

It’s ok to come off as lame or needy. If someone sees you that way, then that shows that they may not be your ideal friend. Not everyone will like you, and that’s ok. You just need to find the people that do!

Become someone you’d want to be friends with

Dress however you want, have interesting interests, do crazy things, whatever you’d find attractive in a person is something you should consider adapting! People find being interesting attractive.

Ask!

If you need help with something, ask!! People love to feel important, so don’t be afraid to reach out. If you need help with something specific, ask someone who is experienced in it (i.e. asking a strong person to carry things, smart person a difficult question) because it makes them feel good to see that their skills are acknowledged and wanted!

Good luck everyone!

girly’s underrated show recs!

Uhmmmm guess who’s very sorry for not posting for awhile(again)

recommendations start here:

Good morning call

I LOVEEEEEEE good morning call!! It’s so cute and can be really funny at times. Usually I don’t really like watching shows with subtitles only (I get confused easily lol) but it’s totally worth it for Good morning call. It’s a great romcom type of show about a girl who moves into her new apartment and finds out the most popular boy in school is also living there! Status: 2 seasons, finished

♡Where I watched it: Netflix

Romantic Killer

Romantic killer was really fun to watch with how it puts a twist on typical otome games. I really liked the main character, too. I think she acted very reasonably for being put in a real life harem! Status: 1 season, left unfinished

♡Trigger warning: Stalking, PTSD, knife violence, attempted SA, intense or scary scenes

♡Where I watched it: Netflix

I Cannot Reach You

Ok, usually I’m not the biggest fan of BL, but this show is basically your typical high school shoujo. If you are not fine with a lot of yearning and angst, don’t watch this. It could be a bit hard to watch at times, but I still think it’s worth the watch! Status: 1 season, finished

♡Where I watched it: Netflix

Lovely Complex

Lovely Complex is half romance, half slapstick comedy. It made my heart, but also made me laugh a lot! I related to Risa a lot for her insecurity about her height, and I think it’s a great show to watch for anyone who feels bad about how tall they are. There is a lot of yearning and drama in this one. Status: 1 Season, finished

♡Where I watched it: YouTube

Onegai My Melody

This one is a bit more on the children’s show side… but I still really liked it. If you like My Melody, then you will too! It’s pretty simple, so it’s great to wind down to. It was absolutely adorable! Status: 4 seasons, finished

♡Where I watched it: YouTube (sometimes it is taken down, so beware)

I’m not even gonna lie…. some of these aren’t underrated. I just want more people to watch them. I almost put in One Piece, but it’s not underrated at all!! (Luckily)

also I’m really sorry almost all of these shows are from Netflix… it’s my favorite

“How’d you get so confident?” A guide

I’ve been insecure all my life. When I was a little girl I felt like my thighs were too fat (they weren’t), and as I got older, it only got worse. Acne, weight, my height, the way I dress, what kind of music I like, my favorite tv shows, I felt like I got ten new insecurities a month. Being unconfident is so tiring! I hated putting on a mask just because I was scared of being judged. Here’s my tips for being more confident!

tips start here:

Stop judging others

This may sound random, but genuinely when you stop judging others as much, you stop judging yourself as much. Things like “He walks so weird” or “She has so much acne”, catch that stuff. Remember there are things we can’t control. Knowing that there are things others can’t control can help you soften up on yourself when judging yourself!

Choose your battles

Pick some of your insecurities and work on fixing them. Not things like “I wish I wasn’t so tall” or “I wish I was more popular”, things that aren’t in your control or that aren’t actually important. Maybe you wish you got higher marks on tests or that you were more fit. Those are things you can work on to fix! Don’t hurt yourself with all the things that aren’t in your control, but rather pick the battles you can win.

Stop faking it

Trust me, I’ve tried it. People say fake it till you make it, and eventually it’ll be true, but ITS NOT!! You can’t trick your brain into thinking you’re confident like that. Confidence doesn’t mean you’re outgoing or anything like that. It means you aren’t going to change yourself for others. You trust yourself and aren’t constantly focusing on your downsides. You can’t fake that, because that’s on the inside. You can pretend to be outgoing, but you can’t pretend to be confident.

Just keep going

If you’re feeling judged for who you are now, just keep going. If people judge you for who you are and what you like, then that means they aren’t your people. You will never regret being yourself. Maybe you’ll think you were being cringey for being yourself, but you should never regret. Being yourself is how you get farther in life, not putting on a mask. So just keep going as yourself, no matter how embarrassed or judged you feel. Do what you want!!

Sorry for the shorter post! Ive been pretty busy with all the classes I’ve had. I can’t promise I’ll be more consistent but I can try😓

[coaping]

I really like your blog 😊 ✨️ It is just wooooowww to me🤭🤩

let life flow

Go with the flow! Try not to worry about so many small things.

listen to illit

idk I just wanted to make a illit inspired guide so I had to put this in there somewhere
