Megan’s Instagram Update (October 22, 2024)

♡

I’m so committed to the pretty girl life that I always get dolled up, even when I’m just going to the grocery store at 10am. When you set a standard for how you like to present yourself to the world, no event is too small to look your best.

✿𓈒ིུ.·:*¨ NOIR GYAL CHEAT SHEET!

❀ incorporating noir gyal into your wardrobe is honestly more easier than it seems.

the main focus is:

✿ color scheme: color color color! it’s alllll about color (preferably vibrant/warm undertones) anything that’s with pink, either by itself or paired with another color/s is very gyalicious!

✿ accessories: it’s also all in the accessories like barrettes, ballies, bows, beads, frilly socks, bangles, bamboo hoops, nameplate necklaces, charm bracelets, pretty much anything tied to black culture/girlhood!

✿ hair: braids, twists, afros, locs, natural hair, all the black cultural styles!

✿ nails: curved, square, flared, & even just painting your natural nails!

✿ some noir gyal coded gyals: kelis, lil kim, beyonce, rihanna, nicki minaj (mainly from their eras 90s-2000s)

& last but not least, have fun & @ me & hashtag #noirgyal on here, tik tok, or even pinterest! i’d love to see what you’ve pieced together! ❤︎

I love it 💗

For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

Quote of the day

guide to a evening routine 𝜗𝜚⋆₊˚ 🐈‍⬛🎀✨

your night sets the tone for tomorrow, which is why having a peaceful and intentional evening routine is so so important. its your special time to unwind, reset, and wind down. of course you can do these steps in whatever order feels right for you, your routine should soothe and support your needs. a good evening routine helps improve your sleep, lowers stress and creates a space comfortable for mindfulness, self love and peace. sweet dreams and enjoy! 🎀

UNWINDING:

unwinding at night is all about slowing down and letting your body know it’s time to relax. i love dimming the lights, playing soft music or subliminals, lighting a candle and just breathing. you can journal, reflect on your day, or just lay in bed and check in with yourself. your energy deserves softness after a long day.

SKINCARE:

your skincare routine should feel like a ritual—not a chore. it’s a moment just for you. cleansing the day away, moisturizing, and pampering yourself makes you feel clean, dolly, and cared for. even just washing your face and applying your favorite serum can boost your mood.

STRETCHING + YOGA:

doing 5-10 minutes of gentle yoga or stretching at night can completely shift your energy. it helps calm your nervous system, release tension, and reconnect with your body. plus, it feels so good to move with intention.

READING:

reading before bed instead of scrolling is such a dreamy habit. it calms your mind and helps you fall asleep easier. you can read anything you like—romance, fantasy, a cozy self-help—but even a few pages helps. it feels so much better to end the day with words than a screen.

WARM BATH OR SHOWER:

a warm bath or shower is one of the best things you can do for your body and your mind before bed. it literally rinses the stress off you. add bubbles, oils, salts—whatever makes it feel soft and special. when you step out clean and cozy, it’s like becoming a new version of you, ready for rest.

GRATITUDE:

before sleep, take a few moments to say thank you. list three things you’re grateful for, even tiny ones. this shifts your mindset into peace + abundance. it’s such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference. gratitude reminds you how amazing life already is.
