Self Care Guide For Bad Mental Health Days 🎀🍦

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

♡ let yourself cry! feeling sad when you have bpd can feel like the world is ending, but it isn’t. feeling sad is normal, and it’s completely okay. don’t demonise your emotions. let it out

♡ cuddle with your pets! cats are absolutely amazing for this, dogs too. lil furry babies make me so happy and cheer me up so much when im feeling low

♡ take as many naps as you need without guilt. rest rest rest, even on your good days! stop overworking yourself

♡ shower, you don’t have to do your full routine, just make sure you wash yourself then apply your favourite lotion and sweet scented perfume

♡ cosy up and watch something that makes you happy. nostalgic tv shows are great, on my bad days i really love watching spongebob bratz or strawberry shortcake 🍰

♡ invest in a 2L water bottle and keep it by your bed for those low motivation days

♡ light your favourite bakery scented candle, sweet scents always uplift my mood

♡ do not isolate yourself, try to keep in contact with friends or family

♡ eat some chocolate or chips, whatever your favourite comfort food is. your happiness is more important than your diet

♡ if you’re struggling to get out of bed, try keeping everything you need on your bedside table so you can still do your skincare routines and take your daily vitamins from your bed

♡ run a nice relaxing bubble bath!!!

♡ put on some cosy pjs & grab a pink fluffy blanket and snuggle on the sofa instead of staying in bed all day

♡ set rules for yourself, write some things you that want to achieve in a day. such as keeping your skin moisturised, shower twice a day, drink enough water, getting out of bed. anything that applies to you. self care can become confusing and daunting, so write everything down to remind yourself to look after and cherish yourself

♡ make sure you’re eating enough. even if you’re not feeling hungry, if you don’t have the energy to cook, order takeout! it’s ok to eat takeout sometimes, just not all of the time as junk food can be highly addictive, and obviously isn’t very good for you

♡ try writing down your thoughts and feelings. i love journaling and covering the pages with pink stickers and making it look all pretty, it’s so therapeutic

♡ reach out to a mental health professional if things get too bad. this may feel hard, but if you need help desperately pls get it

♡ acknowledge that what you’re feeling is just temporary, whatever you’re feeling won’t last forever

♡ make sure you’re getting enough sleep. whenever i didn’t get enough sleep in the past, i would sometimes start seeing and hearing things, and would become very paranoid and disassociated, which is obviously not what anyone wants. so pls pls pls make sure you’re prioritising your sleep

♡ treat yourself, buy something pink and pretty just because you can

♡ take a day or 2 off work (if allowed)

tiny disclaimer: these tips may seem obvious to those of you without serious mental health problems, and they may be things you do everyday but when someone with mental health problems is in a really bad place, they can sometimes forget how to look after themselves properly, or in my case a few years ago i would just stop caring about myself. i love all of my pretty sugar dollies so much, look after yourselves and i really hope some of these tips help you 🎀🧁

Health-maxxing skin >>>>> studying makeup!! 🍑 8 Ways to Start

Hydrate like your life depends on it, because your enjoyment of life sure does.

Get an expensive, high-quality multivitamin. Drugstore brands don't cut it.

Put on sunscreen before your face is ever hit by rays, and watch your bedroom shades. I've received a sunburn from the morning sun peeking through before!

Research retinoids like retinol & tretinoin, and why mega-dosing vit A can function similarly. Don't forget your neck if applying topically.

Find out what you're allergic to. Eliminate all the common allergens for a week - wheat, dairy, sugar, nuts, shellfish, eggs - and then reintroduce them one at a time. Your skin and gut will tell you if something is harming you if you're patient and LISTEN to your body.

Environmental allergens will kill your skin too - get tested for allergies to pet dander, mold, dust mites, etc. especially if you wake up with mucus habitually or feel tired a lot.

Fill your diet with antioxidants.

Quit using lip balms that make your lips more chapped and switch to applying oils.

what’s the impoartance of branding and how did you find your brand

Branding Yourself ❤︎︎

why do you buy lingerie from victoria’s secret and not target? why do you go to starbucks instead of looking for a local coffee shop? it’s the way these entities have displayed their aesthetic, values, and more than anything: THEIR AURA. they’re displaying a feeling that you can only get if you indulge in their goods and services.

when you carry yourself in whatever fashion that happens to be, imagine a logo plastered all over yourself. who’s attention do you want to grab with that logo? you’re showing potential employers, friends, love interests, what they’ll be getting when in collaboration with you. so this. this is what’s important about branding.

My Brand 🎀

i wanted to feel not only feminine in energy, but hyperfeminine in appearance… but with a cloak of sex appeal, maturity and exclusivity

i recently found and accepted that i am not “cute” aesthetically. i’m far more often seen as “pretty” or “sexy” and unknowingly working against my natural beauty archetype was hurting me badly

my color palette of midtone pink, black, white, gray, and nude/brown convey a feminine look while being grounded in minimalism from the neutral colors

sex kitten, video vixen, and victoria’s secret angel are archetypes/aesthetics i identify and get associated with often

i leaned into my result from vindicta’s feminine archetype quiz (the aphrodite + the diva)

i compiled a list of words i identify with and channeled them in my self expression and how i carry myself

studying my birth chart and infusing my natural traits into my essence with intent

all these things i’ve compiled over time and lots of trial and error to reach what i call #theprissygirlagenda (i can make a detailed post about this in the future)

things my followers said they associate with me, ie. “prissy girl core”:

louis vuitton bags, french tips, fur details, cheetah print, rhinestones, silk presses, fuzzy pens, rap and r&b, sexy over cute, hoop earrings

SUPERMODEL SMOKEY EYE: FAITH’S GUIDE

OVERVIEW

This look is sleek, it's edgy and it's glamorous. The supermodel makeup look focuses on the eyes, while every other part of the face remains simple. This makeup is a part of my "Model Off Duty" style guide on @havefaithinyourbadtaste

PRODUCTS

Tinted Moisturiser or a Foundation and Concealer 2-in-1 combo

Concealer

Pressed powder

Setting Powder

Brow gel

Brow Pomade

Gel Eyeliner

Black Eyeshadow

Burgundy Eyeshadow

Salmon Eyeshadow

TOOLS

Beauty Blender

Powder Puff

Powder Brush

Eyeshadow Brush

Two Other Small Brushes

BASE

Apply primer all over your face (including your eyelids) and work it into your skin

#faithtip Apply baby powder all over your face with a powder brush for a long-lasting oil-proof base

Apply tinted moisturiser or foundation to skin

Blend well with a damp beauty blender

#faithtip: dampen your beauty blender with setting spray for easier blending and a longer lasting matte base

Now, because the focus is on the eyeshadow and the lashes, apply a concealer that is only slightly lighter than your skin tone to not draw attention away from the smokey eye

Apply concealer to the inner corner of your under-eye

Place concealer to the end of your under-eyes and be sure to follow the natural shape of your eyes

Blend it in well with a beauty blender

Take a powder brush and some pressed powder and apply all over your face

Now, using a powder puff or a beauty blender, apply loose powder to your under eyes following your eye shape.

Place a line of loose powder under your cheeks

Let the loose powder sit whilst you focus on another part of your face

BROWS

For this look, dark brows are included but the brows will not be as dark as my other tutorials

Brush through your brows with brow gel and then use pomade and a brow brush to fill in small gaps

Place a bit of concealer on the arch of your brow and blend it in with a beauty blender

Then apply setting powder to the arch of your brow

EYESHADOW

Apply concealer to your eyelids (all over underneath your brows)

Blend with a beauty blender

Then apply loose powder to your eyelids and the transition area

Use a powder brush to apply pressed powder to your eyelids

Now, take a gel eyeliner and apply it to your eyelids

Make it look smoother by using an eyeshadow brush

Apply a medium brown coloured eyeshadow to your crease/transition area

Use an eyeshadow brush to work a dark brown eyeshadow into your crease/transition area

Now apply black eyeshadow on your eyelids and work it in with a brush

Go back with the dark brown to smooth out the colour in your crease/transition area

Use a black eye pencil to line the inner corner of your eyes

Then use the pencil on your bottom lash line and lightly smooth it out with an eyeshadow brush

LASHES

STRIP LASHES

For this step apply glue to strip lashes

Wave the lashes around for a bit so the glue dries a tiny bit and feels a little bit sticky

Place them on the lash line and adjust where needed (using tweezers or fingers)

CLUSTER LASHES

Strip lashes can also be cut into smaller pieces or use cluster lashes

Dip them into glue and wipe off the excess

Use tweezers to hold the lashes

Pull the top of your eyelid upwards so you can see underneath your eyelashes

#faithtip Wipe the glue on the part you are applying to then you can dip the lash in glue again before actually placing it underneath your lash

This make the lashes more firm and secure

Make sure it is not too close to your eye as this can be irritating

Fan your eyes if you can still feel wet glue

BACK TO BASE

Brush the setting powder away with a powder brush

You will need to make sure you do this properly because the powder won't move easily, because of how long it has been sat on your face

Apply highlighter to your brow bone using a small brush

Make sure to keep the highlight application light and smooth it out with a small eyeshadow brush, the focus is on the eyeshadow!

Spray setting spray all over your face

LIPS

Apply some lip balm to your lips before applying clear lip gloss
