an angels guide: getting ready for a date ໒꒱ིྀ༝⁺
hi angels! with my exams done and a long summer stretching ahead of me, i have so much free time to fill!! one of my favourite ways to do so is date nights/dates with my boyfriend. whether you’re in a committed relationship or about to go on a first date, you want to feel full of self love and confidence, you want to radiate positive energy and happiness and you want to show both yourself and whoever will be in your company that you’re deserving of absolutely everything - the best way to do that is to look and feel your best! so here’s an angels guide to getting ready for a date.
(note: not every date warrants night before prep! id say that if you want to feel your absolute best or love self care this is such a fun way of getting ready but not necessary whatsoever).
take a long bath or shower. run the water to your favourite temperature, put on a feel good playlist and get your comfiest towel and prettiest robe. decide whether or not you’ll wash your hair.
wash your body with a bar of soap - can be scented/unscented.
gently exfoliate your body for maximum softness.
if shaving apply an oil (baby oil, coconut oil, hair removal etc) and then apply shaving gel all over. let it sit for a few minutes.
shave, washing your razor in between each stroke (i shave my legs the night before but any more sensitive areas the day off).
rinse off any leftover shower gel.
apply your favourite scented body wash to your cleaning device of choice (mine is an african shower net!), rub in especially focusing on areas that get dirtier/sweatier faster.
when out, pat your body dry with the towel but ensure it remains slightly damp.
apply a body lotion and then go over with an oil, making sure to lock in moisture.
apply a face mask or skincare treatment and let sit.
clip/trim toenails and apply a clear polish (or coloured!). rub in a foot cream and let dry.
file nails and apply a colour of choice, when dry add a nail oil and handcream.
gua sha face or give a facial massage.
drink water first thing and take any vitamins etc.
do some morning stretching/yoga for minimum five minutes.
do some light exercise, my favourite is 20 minutes of pilates!
have a delicious, balanced breakfast.
put on your feel good playlist, tidy your room. make sure your space is clean for when you return.
pack handbag/overnight bag and so on.
pick outfit + accessories.
if wanted have another shower or skip.
apply deodorant, perfume and additional body lotions.
face last checks, tweezing eyebrows, ensuring ears are clean and products are all absorbed.
style hair in a way that makes you feel confident and happy.
ensure phones fully charged and friends/family know your plans.
double check bags and ensure you’ve got the essentials (charger, any makeup/skincare to reapply, mints or gum, water, perfumes and hand cream).
things to remember + angel advice
you are smart, confident, beautiful inside and out, full of joy and deserving of a love as wonderful as the kind you give.
romantic love is not the only thing to focus on. give yourself love and kindness, you are the love of your life.
their actions on the first date will speak to their actions later on. trust your intuition and do not tolerate disrespect.
you are an angel! you deserve to be treated like one.
you're dressing up and looking you’re best for you and to make you feel good.
good luck angels! just a short post today as i actually have a date tomorrow (hence this post…). please feel free to tell me about any date experiences you’ve had whether they’re negative or positive! from, m.
