staying and feeling clean and fresh⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🛁💕

HAVING GOOD SMELLING HAIR ;

having good smelling hair doesn't only boil down to the scented shampoos and conditioners you use in ur hair. odor in ur hair originates in ur scalp so by keeping a clean scalp -> your hair will smell better! if u have a dry scalp, oil your hair before washing it. oil breaks down oil. if u have an oily scalp, clarify ur hair once a week.

you can figure out what kind of scalp type you have with the quiz i'll link right here (♡) also, i find that how u wash ur hair makes SUCH a difference. i always shampoo twice and i use a bubble foamer to really emulsify my shampoo and that makes my hair feel SO much cleaner and softer so i highly recommend that.

so what i'll do, is i'll make my shampoo foam and put it onto my scalp and then use a scalp massager to REAALLLY get in there and clean my head. massaging my scalp during this time feels so nice. i massage the five different meridians on my scalp and just really enjoy this step. some other general tips include :

🫧 dont use regular perfume on ur hair bcuz the alcohol in perfume dries out ur hair, instead use a hair perfume

🫧 make sure that your washing your hair brushes every couple of weeks to manage the residual product and stop redistributing those oils back into ur hair

SMELLING GOOD ;

using glycolic acid on ur skin gets rid of odor that simply showering cannot. i wipe down with glycolic acid on my underarms once a week. another thing that helps with smelling super good is not rubbing ur perfume in! when u apply perfume onto ur wrists and u rub, ur just breaking them done and making them foggy and thats NOT hot.

dont ever rub, just let it sink into ur skin. also, applying it onto your pressure points (e.g. inner wrists, inner elbows, neck, in between ur boobs) makes all the difference bcuz when u sweat ur body releases heat from here, emitting ur perfume.

ORAL HYGEINE ;

🫧 floss every single night and tongue scraping in the morning! its a non-negotiable

🫧 brush ur teeth 2x a day

🫧 oil pulling 1-2x a week to whiten my teeth and for general oral health (i oil pull with coconut oil)

SHOWER ROUTINE ORDER ;

bar soap (if i need to i'll use an antibacterial one) -> body wash -> OUT OF THE SHOWER -> body oil -> lotion/body butter (keep in mind the body oils and butters go on while ur skin is still slightly damp) -> perfume 🛁💕

GENERAL TIPS AND CHARTS ;

🫧 i use exfoliation gloves/african net sponge every single day, it keeps my skin super duper soft and my skin isnt highly sensitive so i can take it.

🫧 make sure that you use scents that layer well together and blend nicely. dont use a pineapple scented body wash and use a chocolate scented body butter! then you're gonna smell a mess.

🫧 dont use an antibacterial bar soap every single day because its superrr drying for your skin.

As a woman (especially young), the best thing you can do for yourself is to do it on your own. If you’re constantly waiting around for other people to come and do stuff with you then you’re gonna be waiting a long time.

‧₊˚ healthy habits you'll want to inherit ⋅* ‧₊

1 ෆ its okay to do things for you

its more than okay to treat yourself. like you want a new mascara? please just buy it, if you can of course, because we love being responsible! if someone is trying to make you do something you really don't want to do, say no. as a people pleaser, yes i know it can be hard, but you have to put you first. if you're really uncomfortable about doing something, and someone gets mad at you for expressing that, you're probably better off without them. you should be your number 1 priority.

2 ෆ journalling

i find journalling helpful to express myself in ways i can't to another person. its a total judgment free way to get whatever is bothering you out of your system. personally, i find that if i physically write it down in a journal, it helps me the most. it takes you away from your device and separates those feelings you want to get out away from your phone and only relates to that special journal.

3 ෆ keeping things tidy

as an adhd girl, yes this is very difficult for me to keep on top of, but i find that the bigger the mess, the more stress it causes me and then i have no idea where to even start so i just avoid it all together. the cycle is horrendous. but i have found that if i make an in detail list of the order i want to clean things, then make it a routine to do this weekly, it helps me make my spaces cleaner. the detail of the list is important because, for example when you're cleaning your room, you can just go clothes, desk, bed. like first pick up clothes, sort them into a dirty and clean pile, put the dirty ones in the washing machine ect. these lists can be helpful for absolutely any chore or errand you have to do.

4 ෆ a weekly reset

i like to do my weekly rests on sunday to prepare myself for a dreadful monday morning. i like the ritual of repainting/redoing my nails, shaving my body, having an everything shower, cleaning my room from the weeks mess... i like doing these types of things weekly so nothing gets overgrown or too messy. it helps me stay in control of myself and the space i come home to so i don't get overly stressed out with a billion messes to deal with, i only need to do a small re-tidying.

5 ෆ don't overshare

its sad to say that even your closest friends and family can't be trusted with your most personal secrets. like don't get me wrong, you can tell them things, but some things are just better off being for only you to know. like if a someone is known to blurt other peoples secrets to you, they're probably doing it to someone else with your own secrets, no matter if they promised not to tell anyone. so be careful of the information you tell certain people.

Go cry about it. Then come back stronger than ever.

Bad grade on a test? Go cry about it.

Got rejected? Go cry about it

Feeling left out? Go cry about it.

Listen, im not trying to make you feel upset or angry in anyway. I am genuinely telling you: if something has happened that is actually negatively impacting your life very strongly, GO CRY ABOUT IT. Express those feelings. Scream into your pillow. Punch your bed. Pour your thoughts onto paper then rip it up and burn it. Feel the feelings vividly.

But what about after that? Are you going to keep crying about it? Are you going to keep victimising yourself and feeling sorry for yourself? Yuck. Look girl, cry about it, then come back stronger than ever.

Like Haruki Murakami once said: “But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.” He was right. We can cry and let the wounds hurt for a bit, but then we must get up.

Life moves on, so must we.

You can either make excuses, or make a way.
