The absence of overthinking prevents the need to have to explain myself to people whose opinions you really do not care about, aiding in a happier, easier, prettier life.
Killing your ego means no longer having to prove yourself by doing things you really don’t want to do. Facts are facts. Doesn’t matter what anyone has to say about said fact. It doesn’t change. You can question that the sky is blue, doesn’t mean the sky was or ever will be another color.
Arguing only validates the opposition. You know who you are and what you want. They don’t.
When you’re thought free, nothing is out of the realm of possibility. Anything, including landing a dream career, having an abundance of disposable income, a man falling into an endless love with you just based off of your beauty, or living a leisurely life. Have the audacity. Be delusional. Be entitled to what you want.
Removing yourself from areas of the world where difficult topics are often discussed is freeing. I’m pretty. I don’t argue about antivaxxing, problematic celebrities or etc. Those topics are bad and bring me down so I don’t know what they are.
Don’t argue with men. Any man. If a man won’t treat me with respect that’s not the end of my world. I’m literally obsessed with myself so how could he even bring me down? The effort he is putting into a conversation/argument with me only affirms how obsessed he is with me. Don’t meet him half way.
Being pretty is a meal ticket. Everywhere. People are nicer, they try to understand more, they make excuses for mistakes. They treat me like an Angel, just because my face is pretty.
The lack of thoughts means the lack of worry. No more (preventable) anxiety. If I can’t control it, it doesn’t exist to me and I will be fine.
I don’t get embarrassed. Whatever happened, happened and I’m not thinking about it. Not thinking about anything but me. Whats there to be embarrassed about? Your obsession with me?
Literally never answering a question I don’t want to answer ever again. It’s my business. You can get met with a blank stare, a smile and an “I don’t know, lol.”
Yes I do always have to look like a doll. It’s inevitable because I am one. The effort I put into my look is essential to who I am and the ease of how I live my pretty life. Pretty face, hair, beautiful clothes, mani and pedi, lashes, pouty lips, no waist. The color pink. My signature <3
I’m only ever thinking about things that make me happy because nothing makes me unhappy. If I don’t like it, it doesn’t exist in my world.
I love myself so much. No one can extract any false insecurities, or relatable humbling out of me, in order to bring me down to their level of overthinking and plainness. I’m focused on me at all times. Always affirming everything I like about myself, I have no time to pick myself apart.
No longer going to stress, or even think, about the way someone talked or looked at me. That’s a them problem. Nothing for me to worry about. That’s time I could be spending thinking about me!
Being thought free doesn’t equate to not being intelligent, but it does mean not breaking your neck to assert how smart you are. I know I’m intelligent and I use my intelligence, along with my beauty and peace of mind to get ahead on life. <3

hii arielle! so now that is summer i would love to rest and take a long break but also keep my days productive, like having a good morning and night routine as well as doing chores and feeling motivated enough to do them, etc, but i'm literally always mophing around feeling really down. what would you recommend for that?
have a great summer!! from a pinterest girlblogger <3
Ahhh hiii love!! Tysm for asking this 💗

Routines!! Your morning and night will impact your summer A LOT. Just in general, having routines will impact your life. If you don’t have a set routine it’ll be hard to stay productive. So, make sure your routine(s) are always adjusted to your schedule. Whether that means time for chores, exercise, or your hobbies. Just try your best to fit it in. Also, try not to overpack your routines with loads of stuff. Making your routines too long could make you unmotivated throughout the day. So try to keep your routines short. That way you don’t rush everything on your to do list. Also, having a short & flexible routine will let you have more freedom throughout the day. For example, maybe you forgot to do a chore from yesterday? Well, with a flexible routine you should be able to do that chore. Without having loads of stuff to do on top of that.
2. Self care days!! Summer is the season to REST! No more stressing over exams and no more drama. It’s time to take a step back and rest. Meaning, take time to care for yourself. Do your nails, skincare, steam your face, make yummy food, watch a movie, romanticize summer, journal, read, develop new hobbies, take a everything shower, spend time in nature, etc. Whatever you can do to refresh your mind, I’d do! Even if that sometimes means rotting in bed. If you’ve been stressed out DEFINITELY take time to, rot in bed, spend time in nature, watch a bunch of movies with popcorn, etc.
3. Make a list of activities to do!! Me personally, I love making bucket lists. For example, this summer I wanted to go blueberry picking, get baptized, go golfing, make lots of flower bouquets, etc. I always like to make bucket lists for different seasons. Especially bucket lists for summer. That way I’m not bored 24/7. It’s like a fun adventure that I do every year. So, I would definitely recommend making bucket lists. It’s the perfect way to stay occupied with different activities. Or if you don’t want to make a bucket list, try new hobbies. You can simply list things you are interested in doing right in your notes app. Then do them whenever you want!!
4. Practice self love!! Doll, it’s summer! We shouldn’t be down bad crying at the gym. We got love to give ourselves!! It’s time to acknowledge how wonderful you are. 2 Timothy 1:7 says “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” We all were created beautifully and with care!! There’s no reason why we shouldn’t love ourselves.
5. Motivation!! Unfortunately we aren’t always going to feel motivated. Which is why I constantly will tell you dolls to work on having discipline. It’s something we will all struggle with time-to-time. However, we have to push through and do whatever we have to do anyways. Pushing through may even help you become motivated. But just because it’s difficult in the moment, doesn’t mean it will be difficult forever. So, keep a positive mindset and keep going!! You got this doll! 💗
6. Get off your phone and go in nature!! I know, I know you dolls probably don’t like to hear it, but seriously. We spend so much time on our phones. Our dopamine levels are probably through the roof. So, take time to slow down and go out in nature. Maybe all you do is run away from bugs, people watch, read a book, or pick dandelions. However you spend time in nature, make sure you actually breathe. Take time to look around. Romanticize those moments that you run away from bugs or read a book.

Love you dolls!! Remember to enjoy all moments in your life 💗

Your skin is not only the body's largest organ but also a reflection of your overall health. Maintaining healthy and radiant skin requires more than just external skincare products; it begins with the nutrients you provide your body from the inside. A well-balanced diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can do wonders for your skin. In this article, we'll explore the 13 best foods for achieving and maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
1. Salmon:
Salmon is a fatty fish that's high in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats help keep your skin moisturized and supple, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Omega-3s also have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
2. Avocado:
Avocados are packed with healthy fats, vitamins E and C, and antioxidants. These nutrients help keep your skin hydrated, protect it from UV damage, and promote collagen production, which is essential for skin elasticity.
3. Sweet Potatoes:
Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that can give your skin a healthy glow by protecting it from sun damage and preventing premature aging.
4. Berries:
Berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are loaded with antioxidants, particularly vitamin C. Antioxidants help combat free radicals, reducing skin cell damage and promoting a more youthful appearance.
5. Walnuts:
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which help maintain the skin's moisture and protect it from oxidative stress.
6. Spinach:
Spinach is rich in vitamin A, which is essential for skin health. It helps repair skin tissues, prevent acne, and maintain a healthy complexion.
7. Green Tea:
Green tea contains polyphenols and antioxidants that protect the skin from UV radiation and reduce the risk of skin cancer. Drinking green tea regularly can also help combat inflammation and keep your skin looking fresh.
8. Tomatoes:
Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, an antioxidant that can reduce the risk of sunburn and skin aging. It also promotes collagen production and skin elasticity.
9. Dark Chocolate:
High-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) is rich in antioxidants, specifically flavonols, which can improve skin texture, hydration, and blood flow, giving your skin a healthy glow.
10. Almonds:
Almonds are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays and environmental damage.
11. Yogurt:
Yogurt is packed with probiotics, which can promote a healthy gut. A balanced gut microbiome can lead to clearer skin by reducing inflammation and preventing acne.
12. Carrots:
Carrots are another great source of beta-carotene, which can help reduce skin dryness and promote a more youthful appearance.
13. Oats:
Oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates and fiber. They can help stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of acne and promoting clear skin.
While these foods can be a valuable addition to your diet for healthier skin, remember that no single food can work miracles. A well-rounded diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods, along with proper hydration, is essential for achieving and maintaining radiant skin. Additionally, don't forget to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, get enough sleep, and maintain a consistent skincare routine for the best results. Healthy, glowing skin is the result of both internal and external care, so make these foods a part of your daily routine and watch your skin thrive.
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.

in this post we'll be talking about habits and little ways in which u can improve ur health and appearance without doing anything too drastic. a micro-glow up to stay polished…💬🎀
DRY SHAMPOO ;
dry shampoo helps with smell and reducing oil and all in all just a rly super useful tool that i hope we're all taking advantage of! so to use it simply divide ur hair into sections and shake the canister before application.
make sure that u hold it at least 10-12 inches away from ur roots. and then just brush it out and voila. just get the dry shampoo that matches ur hair color. so for me i have black hair so i'd purchase a dry shampoo that is designed specifically for dark hair.
WRAP UR HAIR AT NIGHT ;
create a protective barrier around ur hair at night to prevent frizz. with things like silk wraps and bonnets etc. treat ur hair LIKE A BABY. be super gentle to it so it can be soft and moisturized. if ur hair is more coarse or thick use the dominican tubi wrap.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHAMPOO ;
so theres a difference between ur everyday shampoo and a CLARIFYING shampoo. a clarifying shampoo is simply more of a deep clean so if ur using a clarifying shampoo EVERY single day you'll find that ur hair is lowkey straw-like and thats not the move.
clarifying shampoo is a super deep cleanse for ur scalp and u shouldn't be using it every single day…💬🎀
furthermore using a scalp scrub once a week or two weeks to stimulate ur scalp is rly rly wonderful. to just kind of do a deep clean of ur scalp and stimulate blood flow which can also help hair growth.
IF YOU HAVE ACNE ;
i used to have bad acne so i think im qualified to talk EXTENSIVELY on this subject but i won't make this section of the post too lengthy but i think these tips are valuable if ur struggling with acne…💬🎀
♡ invest in a pimple popping tool kit
u can literally get these off of amazon and u can learn to use them via youtube but as long as u store them properly and use them properly u can get rid of whiteheads and black heads safely and most effectively.
when doing an extraction wash ur hands and the area that ur about to extract from to make sure u have a super clean base. also make sure to soften the skin with a warm washcloth before starting. i've found that it minimizes pain.
hot tip : warm water opens pores and cold water tightens pores which is why when doing an extraction its important to use warm water and when ur done wash with cold water…💬🎀
♡ use blotting papers if u have oily skin
♡ invest in adorable and effective pimple patches
THE IMPORTANCE OF FACE MASKS ;
make sure to understand ur skin type/skin concerns before committing to a specific face masks. for example if u have more oily skin use a clay mask once or twice a week, if u have dryer skin go for a hydrating face mask. i rly rly LOVE sheet masks.
ALL ABOUT BROWS ;
wash ur brows with a gentle cleanser and make sure to keep them groomed cuz it makes ur eyes look bigger and gives u a more rejuvenated look. plus it makes u look very clean. dont forget to wash ur brows because washing them stimulates growth + prevents ingrown and painful pimples within or around ur brows.
ALL ABOUT EARS ;
DONT OVERLOOK UR EARS. make sure to clean in and around ur ears. like when ur showering just take ur finger with a little bit of gentle cleanser and just clean the shell of ur ear, the lobe, behind ur ears etc. do this on a daily basis. it literally takes 2 seconds.
and to clean ur ears DONT use a cotton swab. ik it feels rly good sometimes but what it does is just push the wax back into ur brain or whatever so instead take a cotton ball and soak it in some warm water, hydrogen peroxide and mineral oil and just tilt ur head to the side <- so that the opening of ur ear is facing up and hold for about a minute and then tilt ur head back and let the fluid drain out.
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

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
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
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
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
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
Apply some lip balm to your lips before applying clear lip gloss
Strawberry Matcha / Berry Cream Puff / Berry Chocolate
every woman - no matter who and in what circumstances, must have these 4 things -
1. A degree which allows her to be financially independent.
2. Independent Real estate - it doesn't matter if the start is just a small (barely there) house. A place of your own is your sanctuary. Start with small steps but keep your eyes on the prize.
3. A deep sense of spirituality in a way that matters to her (no, not an organised religion, but a practice, a homecoming)
4. A deep sense of self worth.
