now that you know your face shape, do some research! find out ur celebrity face shape twin, how to apply your blush and contour in the most flattering way, find out which hairstyles you could try etc. some other things i recommend knowing are your undertones, hair texture etc.

KEEP YOUR TEETH WHITE ;

the guru nanda whitening strips are literally $10 for a pack of fourteen! i use one a week and brush my teeth with a toothpaste with some sort of whitening ingredient in it, and my teeth SPARKLE. teeth are so essential to a face card because they indicate hygiene. i love the guru nanda whitening strips because the crest one i used to use left my teeth SO sensitive.

since the guru nanda one is more natural based, it doesn't destroy my enamel and it's AMAZING. some more things to keep in mind when whitening ur teeth, I DONT WANNA SEE LEMON JUICE AND BAKING SODA ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR TEETH. that's horrible for you, ask literally any dentist.

KEEP YOUR EYEBROWS CLEAN ;

🍦 asking other people's opinions before making a decision.

🍦 saying yes to things u actually want to say no to.

🍦 needing reassurance before you can stand confidently on an opinion or choice.

🍦 over-analyzing situations or text messages

HOW ARE WE GONNA COMBAT THIS? ;

the first step to combatting this is to become self aware so if you've already done that, GOOD JOB. the second thing that we're gonna wanna do is get rid of any shame that is surrounding our validation hungry tendencies. there is nothing to be ashamed of.

we're going to work through it with some journalling (i'll provide some prompts below) and practicing self validating until it becomes like second nature to us.

HOW TO PRACTICE SELF VALIDATION ;

if you're looking for validation outside of yourself in order to feel loved, figure out how you can show yourself love more. if you're looking for validation outside of yourself in order to feel like you're doing something right, figure out how you can show yourself that you're doing everything right. find the source and then find out how you can give yourself what you're searching for.

JOURNALLING PROMPTS ;

when do i feel like i need other's approval most?

what do i usually hope to hear from others when i seek validation?

what would it look like to give myself that same reassurance instead?

i like to watch the movies on the tv because you can't have multiple tabs open on a tv, so i'm less likely to get distracted. bcuz idk about you but lowk having too many tabs open at once gets me stressed out. there's something homey and warm about the tv so i just curl up on the couch and watch my movie.

DRINK SOMETHING WARM ;

💕 warm chamomille tea with honey

💕 almond milk and honey

💕 hot matcha

💕 hot chocolate with marshmallows

A TEDIOUS SELF CARE RITUAL ;

self care is quite literally one of my hobbies, and i know it seems vain but doing a tedious self care ritual literally BREATHES life into me! doing meticulous routines is literally how i say "i love you" to me. and my routines are tailored to my specific needs at that time. for example if my skin is a little dull, i do my tedious skincare ritual. i'm sharing one of my in depth body routines.

💕 drink a tall glass of water with a bit of ice

💕 put some micellar water on your cotton pad and wipe your face. i love doing this, even if i wasn't wearing makeup because it gets the first layer of gunk off ur face

💕 glycolic acid wiped underneath ur arms to help with hyperpigmenation and elimination of odor. the glycolic acid i use has some witch hazel in it which also helps with odor elimination

💕 face icing to depuff and refresh myself

💕 shaving

💕 wash face with my cleanser, i use the cetaphil cleanser and its so simple and works so good

💕 tongue scraping, flossing, brushing my teeth and finishing off with some mouthwash

💕 then i use a sheet mask, and i like to add a bit of serum to the sheet mask

💕 double cleanse in the shower

💕 rub some serum into your skin from the sheet mask (helps use all the product and reduce waste) also makes your skin GLOW before locking everything in with a lotion

DOING SOME OF MY HOBBIES ;

i love to make moodboards on canva and pinterest, everytime i make one thats really good i post it on my twitter and sometimes my tumblr. this is just a fun way for me to express something visually, like my vision for something (a post, my week, a season in my life etc) it's like digital scrap-booking literally.

💕 baking cookies
