💫Melinated Realms💫

be mysterious. make your presence a gift that’s not as accessible. it is a privilege to be near you.

get naked. dance naked. sleep naked. look at you body in the mirror. soak in a bath.

be daring. wear a sexy outfit or bold makeup look. show cleavage. follow your dreams. break routine. speak your mind. shock the people around you and ignore their judgements.

slow down. walk slower. eat slower. speak slower. don’t respond to others so quickly. try to avoid rushing.

flirt. it’s fun.

masterbate. give yourself permission to feel pleasure.

choose the right target. choose someone who is infatuated with you (not the other way around).

build your confidence. master your fears and insecurities. never compare yourself to anyone. you are ‘one of a kind’ and that is powerful.

sensual body language. relax your shoulders. lean into your curves. express yourself with sensuality.

put your needs first. pamper yourself. always make sure your needs are fully met.

tell people no. if it’s not a hell yes, don’t waste your time.
