I Love Being A Girly Girl !!! I Love Sipping On My Cute Overpriced Drinks & Re Applying Lip Gloss Every

please don’t spend your life convincing yourself that love or joy is reserved for the idealized version of you that only exists in the future

Hello Everyone! So I have been getting some very useful beauty grooming tips from other dolly girls that I follow on tumblr and it inspired me to make my own post series with a similar premise but more budget, mentally ill & neurodivergent friendly, or as a future reference 4 people who might not have the means to do these things at the moment. With that out the way onto the post! ♡

Basic Hygiene

First things first if your the person who can't take daily showers, or you have hormonal issues that make you stink even when you do take daily showers, then the shower routine that you have & the type of products you use are very important as it can be the difference between you smelling bad the same day or day after, versus you smelling good for 2-3 days without you having 2 do much. 4 the mentally ill I highly recommend that you ease yourself into this routine very slowly so that it doesn't feel draining

First soap wash, this can be with any soap but preferably a unsented hormonal friendly one, a natural/prebiotic soap bar, or unscented baby soap, you ideally want this first step done with a soap bar. The first places you want to wash before anything else are your neck, the outside of your crotch area (not the inside), your armpits, and your butt (don't go in the butthole) then your going to rinse all of that off and do it again, then with your choice of scented soap wash your legs, arms, & body. The goal is to hit all of the critical smell points that stink the most twice so that the smell of the scented soap stays.

The next step is to use any form of exfoliation that you have 2 get rid of some of your dead skin, a sugar scrub, exfoliation gloves or African sponge is recommended, you can also dry brush your body before your shower as these are all forms of gentle exfoliation to get rid of some build-up, after this you rinse all the dead skin off, if you don't have time or energy 4 this then remember 2 exfoliate your feet, ankles, neck, elbows, & knees as these are the most noticeable places 4 dead skin, and only exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week or it can cause skin dryness.

This next step is more optional but I do recommend it as it makes the shower last much longer; body hair removal, instead of getting a razor & using that 2 shave I recommend a hair removal cream (I love to use the magic hair removal brand, yes the one 4 beards, it has a lot of pre-made cream options & powder options that you can turn into paste that you can use especially if you have kinky/coily hair & it has ingredients that prevent ingrown hairs, bumps & keeps the hair off with time, the last time I used the powder (which is a bit messy, thus the pre-made cream recommendation) for my legs & armpit hair & that shave lasted for nearly 2 months) if your not doing a full body shave then target your crotch & armpits as those sweat the most.

This next step is also optional but if you don't want to lotion yourself when you get out the shower you can use a whipped body cream that you rinse off in the shower.

Now onto hair washing! This step is an important one, now what your gonna do first is wet your hair a bit & use a pre-poo for your hair to detangle it, (and a hot oil treatment before you wash it out in the shower a few times a week if you want hair growth) if you have dandruff or scalp psoriasis use this step to gently scrape off the flakes from your scalp. After your done detailing with the pre-poo your going to wash it out & start using your shampoo as you normally would, I highly recommend getting those scalp massagers people use while washing their hair, especially if you have dandruff or psoriasis, just make sure not to scrape of scab your scalp to rough. After you thoroughly rinse the shampoo off your gonna use your conditioner, let it sit for 3-15 minutes if you can & thoroughly rinse it out, or you can hop out of the shower & use a leave-in conditioner. If you can get a hair perfume to make your hair smell good or just use a good smelling conditioner.

Next step if you chose not to use the whipped body butter in the shower is to use the body moisturizer that you have, if you live in a hotter area or feel lotion, oil, or Shea butter is too sticky 4 you I recommend moisturizing body milk, do this from the neck down to your feet. After this you wanna use witch hazel on our armpits & outside crotch area (it helps with hormonal smells, hormonal balance, & sweat) then use your perfume of choice in the following areas; your neck, your ankles, behind your ears, your elbows, your knees, & your wrist . Then use a matching or complimenting body mist all over your body from the neck down. An optional but nice smelling touch would be to add both solid & spray perfume to this routine

After your done with your shower, brush your teeth and tongue & swish your mouth with mouthwash to make your breath smell fresh, then with a neutral oil to help whiten your teeth.

Now we can move on to the face, keep the routine 4 this short & sweet, think like 2 to 5 steps for the whole routine, for example; wet your face with lukewarm water, wash your face with whatever face wash you have, rinse the soap off your face with lukewarm water, then rinse your face with cold water to close up your pores faster, after that spray a facial toner on your face, then use the gua sha method to work in your face moisturizer all throughout your face, A lot of people recommend you wash your face once a day (specifically at night) but other people wash their face twice a day, do what is best 4 you & your schedule. After this exfoliate your lips with a sugar scrub. A warm damp rag or your toothbrush. then moisturize your lips, you can use a chapstick, lip mask, Vaseline, whatever works best 4 you.

Okie that's all 4 now! I hope this is helpful for anybody who comes across it! And thanks 4 reading♡

just girly tingz! 💓

how to manifest: physical changes

1. focus on your desires and positive affirmations.

- think of how having that desire makes you feel and any opportunities it may bring (love, jobs, etc.)

2. align energy with what you desire. a good example of this is changing habits, which can be manifested as well.

- if you want to lose weight, you can also manifest that your eating habits change in favor of your weight loss journey.

3. methods. use different methods that you enjoy. 3•6•9 method, repetition, etc.

- for physical appearance changes, i use a method i like to call “the gmo method”. gmo means “genetically modified organism”, so this method exercises the manifestation of modifying genetics. these type of affirmations refer mostly to you already having that desire in your dna, and you’re now activating those genes.

don’t be shy about experimenting with different methods and subliminals! the more you learn about what works for you, the easier manifesting is.

everything you need to make your own personal beauty binder 🎀

disclaimer: this post is heavily inspired by @tomb-of-ligeia and @daphne-dauphinoise, and early 2010s beauty youtubers. it’s always kind to credit your inspo <3

inspired by the lookbooks and makeup charts used by makeup artists designers at high fashion runways shows and childhood bratz coloring and activity books. the law of attraction is at use heavily with this binder (writing down goals and wishlists)!

you should be keeping diy recipes you find in here.

*you don’t need a physical binder. some people function better with digital mediums. i prefer anything physical and concrete. but you can do all this in something like a notion, or your notes app, etc.

why? 🎀

a cute girly hobby (esp for type A, anal retentive, or analytical personalities/extremely creative, hands on people) to keep track of your routines, motivate you to keep yourself maintained, and figure out what works best for you. it’s nothing too serious, just a girly pastime for people that maybe buy too many products, slip up on routines, or don’t what looks best on your features. have fun!

what to record in your binder? 🎀

an intro sheet 10 different topics divided by tabbed sections: your personal features, makeup, body, fashion, skincare, hair, fragrance, nails, treatments/procedures, salons/spas/referrals/contacts 🎀

intro sheet 🎀

here, you should keep your goals, desired look, and how you want to perceive yourself.

your personal features

a chart of your color season. mine is cool winter. you can use color season for whatever, i choose to apply it to my makeup.

your natural body shape. this will help you choose the best clothes to flatter your silhouette.
