i feel like we normally don't do much to help our ears , so here are some ear cleaning tips and tricks to have fresh, clean and good smelling ears!!
qtips ♡
never use qtips in your ears , PLEASE. they just push the wax further into your ear. i would recommend wetting a qtip with warm water and swabbing around the outside ear crevices , but never stick them into your ears.
cleaning ♡
when in the bath or shower, use a soft cloth with a small amount of body wash to clean the surface of your ear , along with the back, top and underneath of your ear. heck , even better , clean it twice. rinse off the soap and then dry your ears immediately with a dry towel to stop bacteria from growing.
smelling good ♡
having my ears smelling good is a MUST!! if someone hugs me , it's usually the first place they smell. here are my tips to avoid ear odors!
obviously , you wanna be washing the outside of your ears regularly (preferably with a nice smelling gentle body wash) . if behind your ears is ever sweaty, make sure to wipe it with a towel! i also like to exfoliate behind my ears twice a week, as i notice i get dead skin build up sometimes. a small dab of perfume behind your ears each morning is sure to keep them smelling good the whole day too! if you have piercings, make sure you're cleaning them regularly. ♡ but please remember , if you notice an odor coming from your ears, always go to a doctor , as it could be a sign of infection!
please note ♡
you don't really need to clean the inside of your ears at all! obv you wanna get rid of any excess sitting on the outside of your ear , but earwax catches dirt from reaching your ear drum and other more sensitive parts of the ear, so its best to leave it there to do its job! it will eventually come out naturally anyway.
if you do feel the need to clean , (whether it's causing you discomfort, there's too much wax, or you're struggling to hear) please go to a professional ear cleaner or ear specialist! this is way safer as they know what they're doing.

sometimes theres only so much revision you can do, so these are my must-do's to make it through exam szn
🪞cute exam-safe hairstyle !!
✩˚ for some people, this might be a loose, low ponytail, but as someone who struggles with sensory stimuli, especially with bangs (the bane and reason of my existence), i need to get my hair out of my face for all test conditions. double dutch braids are my best friend, but recently i've been trying out braided half-up pigtails which are so cute!
+ bonus points: add a ribbon 🤍
🌷 remove urself from the situation !!
✩˚ until the second that you're required to attend the testing hall (or wherever your exam is held), avoid others and stay outside. it's too easy to get caught up in other people's stress and anxiety, especially when everyone is crowding the narrow hallways and worrying about the same thing
🌨️ hydration maxxing !!
✩˚ this is a lovely tip from my fasting friends (ramadan kareem all!), as chia seeds in water helps the body regulate and retain more water over a longer period of time so you can drink less without needing to go to the bathroom + salt can boost water absorption as well as replenishing any lost electrolytes!
+ be aware: only use a little salt, too much has the opposite effect :(
🦢 lucky rituals !!
✩˚ never, never rely on a lucky item if you dont already have one thats incredibly special, meaningful, and effective for you. instead, just establish a ritual. for me, it's everything above, but it can be anything ranging from super simple or more complex as long as you can guarantee that before every exam, you can practise it
if youre in the same boat as me, and you need someone to hold you accountable, dont be afraid to reach out! ive got big ambitions for myself, and i hope that you do too. we can get through this together always 🤍

When I say YOLO I don't mean vaping and drinking I mean go for that late night walk dance in the rain,hangout with your friends and discover that new hobby not because YOLO but because you deserve to enjoy your life.
THINGS TO REMEMBER 🩷
Hi girls!! Here are some friendly reminders that we often forget to tell ourselves in moments of despair/worry.
1. It’s okay to fail
Failing is a part of life, and unfortunately, no matter how hard we try to fight it, is ultimately inevitable. Embrace your failures and learn from them.
2. You don’t have to be a superhero
Don’t force yourself to do things for others when you don’t want to. If your friendships and relationships are solely based on what you offer them in terms of services, that is not a relationship you want to keep.
3. Bad days will happen
It doesn’t mean that you’re experiencing a bad day that you are “cursed” or “unlucky”. Bad days are bound to happen for everyone, don’t let them affect you too profoundly. Try to find positivity in those moments of negativity.
4. You know yourself better than anyone
You should trust your gut 100000% of the time. If something feels off, it most likely is. Never feel sorry for trusting your instincts and what your body is telling you.
5. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can/can’t do
This one parallels with my previous point, but do not let anyone, and i mean anyone, tell you what you can or cannot achieve. If you want to do something, do it. If they say you can’t, prove them damn wrong.
Sending you love,
A girl unfiltered 💋
