I'm going to my first yoga class today !!

I made it my new years resolution to improve my posture, so I'm taking up yoga 🧘‍♀️ 🎀

My 2 fears are that I'm not going to be able to keep up with everyone else or that i will not bring something and feel left out of the class. But I know those 2 things are hurdles that I can get over by just going one time.

I'm excited to have something that I can look forward to at the same time every week, and feel like I'm keeping a routine. Here's to a betted me in 2024 🌟

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ My experience with lip filler as someone who wants small lips ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Ive been setting aside some of my savings for cosmetic work over the past few months, and recently got a good pay rise at my job :3. Ive had masseter Botox in the past (injecting Botox into your jaw muscles to weaken them, therefor lessening their appearance and slimming your jaw), and to also help me stop clenching my jaw when I’m stressed. I like the results, but didn’t feel iLife paying $600NZD every few months to maintain it long term. I decided to get another consult ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱

It’s really important to find someone you’re comfortable with when doing cosmetic injectables, because not everyone will see your vision! I went to 2 people who told me i should plump my lips and chin up, and inject everything else into my forehead before i found someone who understood the kind of beauty i was going for. I asked her what i could do with $1000NZD and asked her to recommend me treatments. It really scared me when she recommended lip filler, because i like having small lips. she recommended 0.5ml of juvaderm (very small amount) in my bottom lip to round them out, and a tiny amount in my top to accentuate my cupid’s bow. They also added 0.5ml into the crease between my chin and lip to create a shadow effect, making my face rounder. I paid $600NZD for that 1ml. When i asked her where else we could use the other $400, she reccomended i take advantage of a half off deal on laser pigmentation to even out the redness and sun spots on my face and neck. 🍓

Post procedure, my lips had swelled and they felt really big. I was really scared, but she reassured me the swelling would go down in 2 days (and it did!) My lips are mostly healed now after 2 weeks, and i am in love with them. They’re rounder and not at all bigger, and i feel like princess peach lol. In high school, i used to cover my mouth and jaw in photos because i was insecure, and thought i had a massive jaw. i used to think my large eyes were the only attractive part of my face, but now i feel really confident and pretty about my lips and chin.🐰🌸

Self love comes from within, and its important to fix the inside before you start fixing the outside (✿◠‿◠). I’m trying to be nicer to myself, and its important to let yourself have nice things as a reward for hard work. I wanted to include a before and after picture, but I’ve realised that i dont have a lot of photos where im not covering my mouth (◕︵◕)

If you’re wondering about getting fillers as a living doll girlie, i would say go for it! Can’t recommend them enough!

For the past month ive been feeling really ugly. Ive been using acrylic nails for a long time and theyve really done a number to my natural nails. A lot of them are lifted, and the amount of stress i put on them means they dont grow back right, but i dont like not having them because long nails are a big source of confidence for me. I decided enough was enough and got them all removed and gave my natural nails a month to heal and clear up. I finally got them to a lenth to where i could switch to gel nails, which is a lot less damaging. They arent as long as my acrylics, but i realize that long term nail health is more important. 🌸🎀

I hope i get better at gel nails going forward, expect to see progress pictures here hehe ♡

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Self betterment post ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

I work in the night life industry, and tend to hit the gym at around 3am after I finish work. Usually because I am still too embarrassed to do weight training/ cardio around others.

I just moved into a one bedroom and my apartment block has a cute little gym! She’s a little bit old, and no one really uses it but it has everything I need :) I have been going at 11.30am after I wake up (it closes at 10pm) and it has been the perfect motivator! I feel great all day, and I always get to work on time. In addition, I’m saving time and money, and I’m going more regularly.

Sorry for the novel, but this feels like an achievement and I just wanted to share 💕🌸
