more girly kei brands need to cash in on otaku culture because so many jirais engage in oshikatsu

❀ 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! ❤︎

Treat yourself with respect
Different forms of self-respect:
1. Eating good food. Caring for your body is a way of caring for yourself. Therefore eating nutrition food and nursing your body with the right food is very important.
2. Skincare. Your skin is a reflection of your habits (diet, skincare, etc.)
3. Movement. Every movement is important for both your body and mind. Creating a strong mind is key to self respect.
4. Reading. Being able to read and understand different stories creates a stronger mind.
5. Time for yourself. Saving time and energy for yourself will bring your life to peace. Not everyone and everything deserves YOUR attention.

Cycle Syncing 101: How to Stop Fighting Your Body and Start Flowing (🌚) With It
alright girls, gather ‘round. this is the full post i promised - the one about periods, moods, energy, and how to actually live in sync with your cycle instead of feeling like a chaotic mess every month. because once i started tracking and understanding my cycle… it changed everything. for real. my workouts, my eating, my planning, my self-talk all became softer, smarter, more strategic. so let's break it down.
your menstrual cycle has 4 main phases, and each one brings its own vibe, mood, superpowers, and kryptonite. when you know which phase you’re in, you stop blaming yourself and start working with your body, not against it. ready?
1. Menstrual Phase (Bleeding / Days 1–5ish)
Vibe: hibernation queen. inward. reflective.
Body: hormones (estrogen + progesterone) are at their lowest = low energy, fatigue, cramps, sensitivities.
Mind: introspective, quiet, intuitive. this is your “truth-telling” time.
What to do:
Exercise: restorative yoga, stretching, slow walks. if you need to skip your workout? skip it. your body is doing enough.
Food: iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils, beef, dark chocolate), warm meals like soups and stews. magnesium-rich snacks can help with cramps.
Routines: go slow. journal. say no to extra plans. light candles. wear comfy clothes. treat yourself like you're sacred.
Study/work: focus on review, reflecting on past tasks, journaling ideas. let your brain rest a bit—don’t force deep concentration.
Self-care: warm baths, heat pads, soft music, no loud people.
Mental tip: you’re bleeding out the past month. literally. let go of what didn’t serve you. Zdont feel guilty.
2. Follicular Phase (Post-period / Days 6–13ish)
Vibe: fresh start. springtime energy. main character in a coming-of-age film.
Body: estrogen rises. energy builds. skin glows. you feel light, optimistic, social.
Mind: creative, motivated, open to new ideas.
What to do:
Exercise: try something new—dance, pilates, running, gym sessions. you’ll feel strong and energetic.
Food: fresh and light—greens, fermented foods, seeds, citrus. boost that metabolism.
Routines: this is your reset phase. declutter. plan your week/month. start new habits. your brain wants structure right now.
Study/work: brainstorm, start new projects, prep for heavy tasks ahead. your memory and focus are sharper.
Self-care: vision boards, hair masks, cute outfits. say yes to life.
Mental tip: this is your most productive phase. take advantage but don’t overbook. pace yourself.
3. Ovulation Phase (Middle of Cycle / Days 14–16ish)
Vibe: glowing goddess. seductive. unstoppable.
Body: estrogen peaks, testosterone joins the party. libido spikes. you’re magnetic and bold.
Mind: communicative, charming, high-confidence. great time to network or confront someone (with love, of course).
What to do:
Exercise: go hard—HIIT, lifting, cardio, group workouts. you’ve got power and endurance.
Food: fiber-rich foods (quinoa, carrots, berries) and antioxidants. hydrate well.
Routines: do your “hard” things here—presentations, big meetings, social stuff, shooting your shot.
Study/work: speak, pitch, debate. you’ve got clarity + persuasion.
Self-care: romanticize yourself. take hot pics, go out, flirt with life.
Mental tip: your confidence is real. don’t downplay it. enjoy this phase but stay grounded.
4. Luteal Phase (Pre-period / Days 17–28ish)
Vibe: cozy but moody. nesting energy.
Body: progesterone rises after ovulation. if no pregnancy happens, hormones start to drop = PMS hits.
Mind: detail-focused, critical, sensitive. easily overstimulated.
What to do:
Exercise: lower the intensity. pilates, strength training, long walks. listen to your body.
Food: complex carbs (sweet potatoes, oats), calming teas, B6-rich foods (bananas, salmon). eat more often to manage cravings + blood sugar dips.
Routines: finish tasks. organize. clean your space. prep for your period like you’d prep for a storm—lovingly.
Study/work: editing, detail work, wrapping up loose ends. less is more.
Self-care: limit caffeine, go offline if needed, soothe your senses.
Mental tip: don’t trust every thought. the inner critic is loud but not always right. softness wins here.
Track your cycle: use apps like Clue, Flo, or just a paper calendar. know when each phase starts so you can plan smarter.
Plan around your phases: big goals in follicular/ovulation, rest + review in menstrual/luteal.
Cycle syncing ≠ perfection: life doesn’t always let you live like a hormone princess. do what you can. forgive what you can't.
Be kind to yourself: if your body is low-energy, that’s not laziness—it’s biology. honor it.
nobody told us this. nobody said “hey, your whole system is a monthly pattern—learn the rhythm and life gets easier.” instead, we got shame, pain, and whispers. but no more. now we know better. and syncing your life to your cycle is not about being soft—it’s about being smart. strategic. in tune.
girlhood isn’t chaos, insanity—it’s coded. and when you read the code, you stop feeling like a mess and start feeling like magic.
if you made it this far, you’re already syncing, baby.
go be soft when you need, strong when it calls, and sacred always💕

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.

Random Beauty Big Sister Advice 💐💋🪩
Here are my random big sister beauty advice! Enjoy!!!
Fix your posture
Some of you did not get pinched in the shoulder blades when you were slouching growing up and it shows
Every time you sit or stand up take the time to roll your shoulders back. Just do it as a little reminder everyday (multiple times) and your posture will improve.
If you can’t hold it without it becoming uncomfortable or tiring you need to do some core workout (a lot of inner core specifically) because that means you muscles aren’t strong enough to keep your spine strong. Which also means you can be more susceptible to injuries.
As much as you hate it healthy is 100x prettier than unhealthy.
Almost all the beauty standards are based on your health.
Proper diet and exercise will make your skin glow and your hair shiny.
Under eating or eating junk shows on your face and hair.
Muscles are sexy
I swear to you there is no way for you to become “bulky” by picking up weights.
You need to strengthen train for that toned look.
In order for your muscles to get really bulky you have to be in a pretty heavy calorie surplus be hitting a very high protein level. You also have to have the gene to build bulky muscles and the bone structure which is not as common in women. You can’t really do it on accident.
Even women who can put on muscles really fast are not bulky they are built. It’s giving she hulk and it’s hot.
To look put together you have to do the 2/3rds rule.
Only one part of your outfit can you neglect. Either your hair, makeup, or outfit. But it should never be your hair.
Learn to do really quick easy hairstyles and you will never have bad hair. I am almost always in Dutch braids because they are simple and I can do them quickly.
Also adding jewelry always gives your outfit more flare.
Learn how to alter clothes always have cute clothes.
You can find really simple tutorials to turn that body tank top into a fitted tank so easily.
Usually you just need a needle thread and scissors but if you have a machine you can do so much.
Do your nails
If you don’t like color or fake nails make sure they are always filled and clean.
Nails can be extremely cheap or extremely expensive you just gotta find what works for you.
Get a good nail oil as well for extra care.
Your body is not the problem you just don’t know how to dress and compliment her.
Stop looking at girls whose body is nothing like yours for outfit inspo.
Depending on your proportions things can look vastly different on different people.
Figure out your body type and shopping gets so much easier.
That’s all for now I might continue this series slowly but I just ended my spring break and classes have started so if I disappear don’t worry I’m just being an academic weapon.
Xoxo💋
