Wins: Cosplayed a lot and created content even though i didn’t feel like it and it turned out good, did my skincare more than usual (used Ordinary serum, Glow Recipe toner, Byoma eye gel, and Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum), watched some nostalgic throwback movies and tv shows, put together an outfit I felt good about most days even though I wasn’t going anywhere, did a workout even though I wasn’t feeling it
Cons: watched too much media, spent more time than I wanted on TikTok
Parts of my ideal self that I embraced this week: Faith, Nostalgia, Creativity, Clean Girl, Emo, LGBT-aligned (Thomas Sanders)
I’ve managed to make small changes in just five days and I intend to continue this momentum!
BOUNCE BACK IN SILENCE CHALLENGE
hello beautiful queens, since we only have a few days until 2021 I want to tell you about a challenge that I’ve been doing for a bit now.
i’ve been beating myself up because of loneliness, lack of motivation etc. while in quarantine but i’m now realizing that this time alone is actually meant to be a blessing, a period where we beauties can finally accomplish things we said we would do but never came around to it. 🦋 here are some steps. reblog and add some more if you’d like 😇
1. get off social media. you’ve heard it before, you’re hearing it again. even a few days of taking a break can do wonders for your mental health. i’ve been realizing that the reason why my confidence was constantly lowering was because of comparing myself to the unrealistic standards of social media. taking a few days off to remind yourself that you’re THAT BITCH, that you deserve the whole world and that you are an ICON LIVING is soooo worth not checking what he posted on is story.
use the hours you save from social media to realize your dreams. get on that grind. get that bread, raise them grades. when you think about it, you don’t even remember half the shit you see on social media, it’s a mindless way to waste such valuable time.
2. take care of your health. stop skipping brushing your teeth. get your ass up and get those teeth SHINING. whiter than the people at a republican voting poll. whiter than donald trump’s ass. you get the drill.
wash your face. try new skincare remedies and products. figure out your skin undertone, type, what works for you etc. and arrange your beauty routine to fit that. slather on the products that you bought and saved for ‘special days’. get you a nice moisturizer that makes you feel like mf bella hadid.
3. stop with the excuses and start working for your dream body. the only person standing between you and that SNATCHEDDD bod is, guess what, YOU GIRL! you are so much more powerful than you think you are, once you realize that you CAN be one of those girls that wake up early to work out, that can CHUG that gallon of water like it ain’t nun, that can RUN that mile your potential is endless. get up and get sweaty. put in the work and the universe will put out the results.
4. get in tune. start a manifesting journal if you don’t have one already. start a daily journal to write down in every detail what you’ve done and how you’re feeling. i did this for 365 days last year when I was abroad and reading it takes me back so vividly, probably the best decision i’ve ever made.
try spells, try reading horoscope charts, try using crystals and tarot. i’m an econ major that has no religious beliefs but experimenting with spiritual, sacred objects brings me joy. i feel like i’m peeking into a part of our earth that only a select few are aware of. that’s why girls like me can find meaning and hope in the smallest things whereas old white men who think they’re too scientific for these things die early. 😋 lol.
make your house/room your sanctuary. love the space you live in.
add a little bit of SPICE ✨ to your life. romanticize making that 1 minute pack of noodles. stare out of your window as if you were lana del rey. if we didn’t have those moments, what would life even be about? reclaim your power and bounce back. a few months of consistent effort and you will be a new girl.
hello lovelies,
welcome to chapter 1.
Lets start with the juiciest one shall we?
Urban dictionary defines pretty privelege as a person having more opportunities, and therefore becoming more successful in life because of how attractive they are.
Do I like that this is true? Not particularly. Am I going to complain? I did that. I tried that. It got me nowhere, so why not learn how to play the game?
I will be the most gorgeous I can be from head to toe. So I will turn to the meat of my arsenal; books
These are the books i intend to read:
Making faces by Kevyn Aucoin
Nailed it by Mariam Newman
Great Hair Days and How To Have Them by Luke Hersheson
Period Power by Maise Hill
Makeup Manual by Bobbi Brown
Skincare Bible by Dr. Anjali Mahto
How to Look Expensive by Andrea Pomer Lustig
The Beginners Guide to Essential Oils by Christina Anthis
The Makeup of Confident Women by Trish McAvoy
The Curated Closet by Anuschka Rees
And why am I reading? To have all the knowledge I need to achieve my goals.
So let me list them down for you.
Have soft, shiny hair till my lower back
Have clear, glowing skin
Have long, thick lashes
Have a depuffed, even face
Pin down a natural low effort makeup look that enhances my natural features
Get my teeth fixed
Have a body that could rival a Victoria's Secret Angel
Pin down my style and learn more about fashion
Curate a capsule wardrobe
Pin down an everyday manicure that works with medical school
Learn how to give myself a manicure and pedicure
Believe i'm the most gorgeous person in the room
I don't think I need sell being attractive to you if you're on this side of tumblr. I want to have all the natural advantages I can afford. I want what I want and I'm not apologetic about it. Will I fuck up? Probably. Will I succeed? Absolutely.
See you next time babies,
Dr. Glowing and Gorgeous
p.s. check my code of conduct to see how I'm planning on achieving these goals
Always running away from triggers and problems and issues you're currently having will never ever be the solution.
Instead of just aborting and pretending it doesn't exists, maybe you could ask yourself what's going on at core. What is making you fearful, angry, sad? Recognizing is the very first step.
Then, etablish a few ideas how you'll approach those emotions, it can be affirmation, self-esteem excercises, midnfulness, et cetera.
And the more you do it, with smaller triggers and issues, the better you'll be at dealing with it and will be able to attack bigger core issues.
It hurts.
It's hard. But it's normal. It's part of the humanity experience. Sadness shouldn't be brushed away, it happens for a reason. Fear is what protected us. Anger indicates that we might be unhappy somewhere.
On the same vein, telling yourself it's gonna be fine, all the time, it's not helpful. Be proactive: what the hell is going on? And how the hell we gonna solve it? Then go at it.
my tumblr has become my interactive vision board
every time i reblog something i say to myself “i invite this into my life” or “i claim it”
i encourage you to do the same ✨🥂
I got my first designer bag today and my boyfriend bought it for me 🥰. He said I should expect to be spoiled more often because I deserve it.
physical glow up ideas:
stretch in the morning/after sitting a long time
drink half your body weight in water
work out at least once a week
don’t restrict eating, instead add more healthy foods like veggies and replace sugary foods
experiment with your style
practice positive self talk, it’ll help you love what you look like
shower daily
exfoliate everything except the sensitive skin on your face weekly with a sugar scrub
shave if you want
get enough rest
track your progress! your improvement will motivare you to get better.
