#pamper routine

this post is just my take on what girliness is to me and how i incorporate it into my life bcuz its a lifestyle for me. being super feminine and feeling happy and beautiful in that way is how i choose to live and this post is just talking about how i go about that. ofc with anything that u consume. take what resonates with you and leave the rest but i hope you'll enjoy…💬🎀

GIRLY MINDSET ;

i think of very highly of myself, like a princess. i did lots of self concept work to get my self concept to where it is now and i can confidently say that my self concept is just as flawless as i am. because i think so highly of myself, i treat myself accordingly. something that i reinforce in my thoughts is to treat myself like my favorite doll.

The Art of the Everything Shower 🚿✨

There’s nothing a 45-minute scolding hot shower, a full-body scrub, and a double-cleanse hair ritual can't fix. It’s more than just hygiene; it’s a spiritual reset. From the eucalyptus steam to the post-shower silk robe and 10-step skincare routine, we’re romanticizing the maintenance tonight. Resetting the vibes, exfoliating the past, and emerging as a brand-new person. Self-care isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. ☁️🧖‍♀️🌿

My Pampering Night Time Routine

Always oil cleanse first! No matter what I’m using after, I always make sure I use an oil cleanser to create a clean slate to work off of.

Apply Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic face mask.

Hop in the shower and do a quick wash (Using up the last of my Lush Rose Jam 💔 ). Apply OGX Conditioner (probably Kukui Nut) and let sit. Rinse off Lush face mask and follow with Fresh Soy Face Cleanse.

Exit the shower and get a bath running. Apply a well-soaked sheet mask (Prelab Aqua Energy 💖 ).

Get into the bath and dissolve whatever Lush bath product I’m going to use (Been loving the bath oils lately).

Relax and watch Youtube videos (There may or may not be wine involved in all of this 😁 ) Rinse out hair conditioner in bath water before I get out. Never get bath water on your face.

Get out of the bath and put some hair product in. I’m using up my OGX Coconut Curls Styling Milk. I’ll usually pull my hair back in a headband until I go to bed.

I’d then complete my skin care routine; I would usually go onto the moisturizing phase of my routine after a sheet mask.

Once I’m mostly dry, I apply body moisturizer. This time of year, I’d usually apply a lighter lotion, such as the Hempz Age Defying Lotion. I’d follow up with the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, because that scent is TO DIE FOR. 😍😍😍 

Get into my pajamas and chill out! Watch TV, do my nails, read, etc. etc. Until I’m ready to sleep.

Take my meds and brush my teeth. A little Glossier Coconut Balm Dot Com on the lips and L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream when I’m about to go to bed. So many good fragrances to lull me to sleep!

Hay! It’s me and my crazy ideas again :D

So, I got this while watching youtube pamper routine videos. Basically, girls in this videos ( mostly, but there are boys too! ) take some time to spoil themselves applying creams, doing face masks and scrubs, getting their manicure/pedicure done, taking a long warm baths with candles etc… They all are different and beautiful, but I noticed one thing they have in common : they all take care of the physycal sphere of their bodies. That’s obviously awesome and everyone should do it, but that made me think…

What about a psychological pampering routine? Putting some time together to spoil our minds too?

I don’t know if this idea already exists, but I wanted to build up a personal one and share it with you, so you can add more things to the list, adjust it to your personal preferences, and maybe have some fun like I did! :D ♡♡♡

So, here’s my personal mind pampering routine :

1) Meditation.

Meditation is good for your brain and it works perfectly as a starter, because it helps you looking at things in a different perspective. It helps you relax, and open your mind completely to embrace everything that will come next. So the first step would be, for me, a 15-20 minutes of relax and meditation.

2 ) Music

Music is another thing that your brain will love and thank you for. It could be rock, pop, classical, funny or sad, ambiental or chaotic, it’s up to you and your tastes! Take 20-25 minutes to enjoy your favorite music. You can even do this together with step one, if your choice is ambiental/quiet music.

3 ) Spirituality

Everyone has their own spirituality. It can be a religion, a belief, or even just your deepest thoughts, your ideals and values, the way you take life, the questions you ask yourself, your life philosophy and way of living. Take some time to care of your spirit. If you are religious you can pray, or make rituals, and if you’re atheist you can think about your life, get a deep look at your soul, or just do something nice for someone, maybe take part to a cause you care for, or simply making a list of things you’re grateful for. Enjoy looking inside your most intimate self.

3) Culture

This is my personal favorite of the list: feed your brain. Culture is literally food for your brain, so in this step you’re going to / learn / something new. Watch a movie, read a book, browse for something on the internet, try to get informations! The most important thing here is that you are really interested in what you’re learning. It doesn’t have to be difficoult or classical culture like history or literature. You love anime? Watch one you never heard of before. You like cinema? Try to watch something new, or maybe a cult movie you never tried. You like steamy, hot sex? Get some sexual education! The point here is to discover you can / LOVE / culture and learning! I swear your brain will thank you for this later!

4) Creativity

Another thing that your brain loves is being creative! ( as long as you don’t do it with a psychotic notebook. Okay sorry for the unrelated reference here ) Produce something! If you love to draw, sketch something that makes you happy! If you like to write, put your thoughts on a piece of paper, or invent a little story about your favorite subject! Maybe you like to sew? Or diy ? Bricolage? That’s a great moment to do it! Even if you think you have no creativity you could just have fun on paint, or make a meme or an instagram photo! Anything goes! Take inspiration from the other steps you did before, like the music you listened to or the book you read.

5 ) Enjoy your new nourished and happy brain! :D

Again, I’m inviting you to add new ideas to the list and tell me what you think about it! I’m tagging here the wonderful and adorable @shantilives because I’d love it if she liked my idea ♡♡♡

Hey everyone!~

So, I hit 500 subs yesterday and decided on making a self-care post - I know there`s a lot of posts like this one already, but I`ll just list the tips that really work for me.

1. The best way to relax to me is to take a bath - with a bubble bar or a bath bomb (my favorite brand is Lush). It`s also nice to mix some cosmetic oils or herbs with an epsom salt, for example. It doesn`t have to be a specific brand, there`s a lot of combinations you can make by hand!                                           There`re also some helpful videos on YouTube on how to make a bath bomb all by yourself~ 

2. The second tip is listening to some relaxing music - for example, you can create a spa tunes playlist, - even just listening to it with eyes closed while laying on a sofa helps  me relax a lot.

3. Another one tip is to make some home-made face masks! It might be a lot of fun to invite your friend over and make them together and do some pamper routine after that~

4. Making yourself your favorite healthy drink is also great, like a smoothie or an ice tea. For smoothie I prefer mixing some strawberries, a half of a banana, some raspberries and a few blueberries, - try out various combinations, it`s all up to you!

5. Any kind of creative hobby might do!                                                           You don`t nessecarily have to be super talented in the sphere you choose to enjoy spending your time while doing something pleasant and relaxing. For example, I like to doodle various things or just blend some watercolors to create different pretty shades~

6. Dance it all away!                                                                                     When I`m all alone in my room, I sometimes put on some loud music that I really like and just dance - it`s such a positive activity that helps me feel happier - and when you`re happier, you`re becoming helathier~
