Dolly's guide to a bimbolicious summer pt 1
i've had this guide in my notes for a while mainly for personal use but i was inspired by @honeytonedhottie to post it ♡
Rules
Do not leave the house without looking your best- One of the worst feelings is going out and feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. Look good, feel good.
Be Hot First, Worry Later- No matter how hard we try to deny it, looks do matter, and they can be armor. That doesn’t mean you need a full beat. Applying some lip gloss, focusing on skincare, and making sure your hair is done is more than enough.
Hygiene hygiene hygiene- Who doesn’t want to smell & look amazing? When you take care of yourself, your body shows it.
Confidence is non negotiable- Being confident doesn’t mean being loud. It means trusting yourself and your decisions. You're not easily influenced by others, even if you don’t consider yourself confident yet, walk like it, talk like it, act like it and eventually, you will become it.
Don't ever apologize for being feminine- Femininity is power, not weakness. It allows you to be your most authentic and vulnerable self. Try naming a weak feminine woman...you can’t. But strong ones? I could list so many.
Keep it cute- Be sweet always, but don’t let anyone walk all over you. Be tough when the time calls for it.
Fabulosity Reset
Happy New Year favs!!! The New Year is a time of awakening, evolving, and improving and this post is to help you all get a reset on your life. 2020 was a rough year in general but this year can be a turn around for you personally if you start designing your dream life and stay committed.
Take the time out to map out everything you want in the upcoming months. EVERYTHING! Make it as pretty as possible. This can include things like a dream car, a new job at your favorite store, closer relationships with loved ones, and a polished cohesive appearance. Start with a positive, attracting thought process. Doubtful thinking will not aid in whatever it is you’re trying to attract. Take magazine clippings and print out inspo photos. Write out affirmations and speak as if. Write in future tense as if you’ve already obtained everything you’re asking the universe for. Take a picture of your new pretty vision board and look at it everyday, on your phone and in person.

What are your health concerns? Go to the doctor and find out where you stand physically. Do your research on nutrition and vitamins (and their purposes). Doctors are very helpful in this regard because the ready to go vitamins may not be anything that serves you and as humans we all need different properties (different demographics, genders, races, weight, height, conditions, etc.) Create a strict vitamin regimen and get any shots/treatments that are necessary. Drink more water/non-processed beverages. Eat more clean food and meat. It’s unrealistic to say “I’m not drinking any pop, or eating any fast food.” These are pleasures to some, and living in luxury means enjoying all life’s pleasures. However, too much of a good thing is *say it with me* a bad thing! Moderate moderate moderate!!! Let moderation be your best friend this year and your health will thank you!
What I Eat in a Day by Briana Monique
Stop telling yourself the body you want is unrealistic!!! Chances are it’s attainable, but by working for it. Having a beautiful figure aides in pretty privilege and getting more out of life. When you wake up confident in your skin, life is much easier and opulence is more plausible. Having a nice body also sends the signal you have your life together. You have goals, you’re active and healthy, you care about your appearance, etc. You don’t even have to get a gym membership. Invest in supplies that will help your individual goals. I have a waist sweat band, a stretch band, and ankle weights because my main goals were toned legs, small waist, and flat stomach. Everyone’s journey will be different but it’s good to incorporate multiple facets of life into your body image goals. For example, not only do I do yoga, but I do cardio, and I drink protein shakes and have a weekly carb goal. (ps. if you want more noticeable curves, FOCUS ON PROTEIN. if being leaner is the goal, focus on reduced carbs and lean meats)

A smart girl is a beautiful girl. Read books on self help, finances, nutrition. It’s such a wonderful feeling to be the one people ask about everything, because they know you’ll know something. Take a class, any class that suits you. I took a fashion class last year and learned a lot. I loved the experience. If you’re in traditional school, set high goals and accomplish them. Once you do, reward yourself. Take immaculate notes and study hard to retain all the info you’re learning. If you’re in high school and know what you want to be your career, start educating yourself on it NOW! Keep a career notebook and research on the field and topic. Find out more about international events and cultures. This will help keep you well versed. Teach yourself another language. Start reading your dictionary and thesaurus. A leveled up woman is intelligent and comes off as such. Learning is enriching. Education is a privilege that we all should be taking advantage of.

GET A NEW PLANNER! Plan out your weeks and months regularly. Being overbooked is mentally taxing and avoidable by organizing every commitment you make. I recommend The Happy Planner, or Erin Condren. You could even create your own using a pretty journal, a calendar, and planner stickers. I recommend this regardless of your lifestyle. You can plan out time for pampering and you time. No matter how busy you are you can block schedule your days to keep from overworking yourself. Clean your phone out. Delete any unused apps, clutter contacts and useless screenshots. Organize your photos by category if you have too many. Make physical notes of any important texts and delete your text threads. Deep clean your home/room and throw away everything causing clutter. Sort out your clothes. I personally sort by season, then goodwill, sell, and throw away.

Find your confidence. Tell yourself regularly how beautiful, kind, intelligent, and fashionable you are. Never ever let your crown slip. Stay unfazed by the opinions of others. People are gonna look at you crazy for having the audacity to love yourself and want a beautiful life and to them; say nothing. Embrace your individuality. Be charismatic and like able but never sway from your true personality. People will be enamored with your social skills. Maintain yourself frequently, pamper yourself, spoil yourself and love yourself. Set goals and be ambitious this year! Keep said goals to yourself. Not only because of the evil eye, but when you talk to people about what you want, their opinions can sway your mindset. This destroys the law of attraction. Start whatever you’ve been wanting to start, but have made excuses for this far. The world is at your fingertips, literally so get what you want out of it.

What Makes a Muse
Keep everything highly maintained. No matter your financial situation, this is possible. Invest in cute loungewear, activewear, ensembles, and nightwear. You deserve to look great at all times. Get your nails done every 2-3 weeks. Mani and pedi. Maintain it at home with a mani kit. You’ll need a file, cuticle pusher and oil. Keep your body soft and smooth. Develop a strict self care regimen. Create a skin care routine tailored to your concerns and stick with it, twice daily. Get your brows and lashes done and keep them up at home by handling your lashes carefully. Get full body waxes once or twice a month. The smallest details make the hugest difference in a woman’s looks. These include things like white teeth, groomed brows, shaped nails, clean clothing, moisturized skin and posture. Get those six together and watch how different you feel.

A woman with a sense of self has a distinctive look. She’s recognizable by a particular set of aesthetics. Reevaluate your closet. Are you happy in these pieces? Do they make you feel powerful and confident? Do the clothes wear you? If so, get rid. Will it be extra and glitzy? Or preppy? Or minimalistic? What’s your dream lifestyle? Are you a real life supermodel or CEO? Any style you like most is attainable at any budget. Once you’ve developed your style create a signature color scheme. This doesn’t mean you can never wear anything outside of it, but what colors are you going to want to be instantly recognizable in? What textures and patterns are you into? These are the questions costume designers ask themselves to develop an assigned character sense of style and their personality too. For example, when you look at Samantha from SATC, you can tell what her personality is without watching the show. Very alpha, sexy, mature and bougie. Often times style is executed through accessories and supporting pieces. You can make two totally different look with the same shirt and pants with different jewelry, belts, handbags, etc. You can create scrapbooks, mood boards, Pinterest boards, etc. to help you along your way.

Finally let’s develop your signature touches on your look. Every woman I know who has life figured out has trademark factors in her appearance. This often coincides heavily with your aesthetic. These include handbags, scent, jewelry, hair, nails, a color scheme and makeup. My signature is medium length pink/nude gel nails, white toes, a silk pressed blowout, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, hoop earrings, long lashes and glossy pink lips. I’m consistent with it. I’ve had a manager tell me “wow, you always have those hoops on, that’s so cute!” This is the goal. You want to be instantly recognizable by these attributes. Women often have a piece of jewelry they never take off that serves as their signature piece. Your signature look can be anything you want as long as you can be consistent with it.

"i can't decide if I want this or this to be my aesthetic" do both. do them all. you are a multifaceted human being and you're not supposed to be boxed into one style category 24/7 like a fictional character

I love being a girly girl !!! I love sipping on my cute overpriced drinks & re applying lip gloss every five minutes. I love buying things just because they’re the right shade of pink. I love love loveee spending time on my appearance, always making sure my hair and nails are pristine, lathering my body in sweet smelling lotions and oils & doing my skincare to look like the cutest glazed donut ♡
bombshell⋆.ೃ࿔*:・💗🧁
WHO IS THE BOMBSHELL? ;
the bombshell is the epitome of confidence and femininity and even danger. when i think of bombshells i think of the perfect blend of oxymorons. sultry, but sweet. playful but also poised. some of my favorite bombshells are tyra banks, adriana lima and gisele bündchen…💬🎀
THE BOMBSHELL SIGNATURE LOOK ;
the signature bombshell look is comprised of four signature components—that glowy tanned skin, the emphasis on the eyes, bombshell hair, and the attitude.
GLOWY TANNED SKIN ;
use a shimmering body lotion and sparkly body oils to make you glow and sparkle like a star! use highlighter in ur makeup routine on ur cheekbones and on ur collarbones to elevate ur makeup. some shimmery bodycare recommendations from me are ->
❤︎ any fragrance that also has glitter in it (i live for the glittery bare vanilla scent from victorias secret)
❤︎ the mac highlighter in the shade soft and gentle
❤︎ victorias secret indulge glittery body oil (GURL, quite literally one of the best oils i've ever put on)
EMPHASIS ON THE EYES ;
use warm neutrals and shimmering eyeshadows to define ur eyes. for example a champagne shade on the lids paired with a soft brown in the crease is perfection. subtle winged eyeliner with fluffy lashes is the way to go. to achieve the fluffy lashes use a volumizing mascara or use falsies.
BOMBSHELL HAIR ;
bombshell hair is big and bouncy and voluminous! and utterly glamorous. when styling ur hair emphasize volume in ur hair by applying hairspray upside down (a trick i learnt) or using a root-lifting spray. curl ur hair in big sections and shake out your curls and run your fingers through them for that “effortless” finish.
BOMBSHELL ENERGY AND ATTITUDE ;
the bombshell energy incorporates playfulness, femininity, confidence. its about owning yourself entirely and exuding that confidence thats fierce. know that YOU ARE THE MOMENT and it'll show in everything that u do. be fun, be flirty, be intense and dont wait on anyone to tell u to shine cuz the only validation that matters is ur own.
