little self care tips
- apply Vaseline to your eyes, lashes, brows, and lips before bed
- never brush curly hair while itâs dry
- on that note, applying products/oil to curly hair while dry is useless
- use a t shirt to dry hair to avoid frizz
- sleep without pants. trust me.
- avoid watery body lotions like Vaselineâs lotion. only dries you out
- avoid crystalline, jagged scrubs (sugar, coffee. St. Ives, etc.). Use round/gentle ones like oatmeal
- avoid coconut oil on face. if you apply it to your hair wash your face afterwards
- donât put lemon on your face. it might seem like itâs helping but it weakens its protective layer in the long run. if you do use it, dilute it and avoid sun for a while.
- no toothpaste on pimples either itâs a myth
- why do u have a bra on at home. take that shit off and live a little.
- apply deodorant before getting dressed so it doesnât rub off on your clothes defeating the purpose
- reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours
- donât text the fuckboy he donât care about you
- wake up 30 minutes earlier to have a more relaxed morning and avoid rushing
- wash panties by themselves so you donât get the gross dirt and germs from your other clothes mixed in. dry them in the sun to kill bacteria if possible.
- hand wash all hijabs theyâll last longer
- donât use rose water with added fragrance. always check label
- eat at least one fruit or vegetable a day
- leave menial tasks for the end of the day. donât drain yourself before getting to the important stuff
- before saying something mean or a nasty joke, take 5 seconds to think about it.
- apologizing first doesnât make you weak
- being vulnerable doesnât make you weak
- exfoliate after using foundation or powder
- clean phone screen with rubbing alcohol/sanitizer
