Time to get productive af.
Sleep early.
Read that book.
Track and analyse your goals.
Keep adding 1% to your life everyday.
Be resistant and decline anybody or anything that does not align to the future woman you are.
The future woman you are going to become is nearby, do not ever think it will be a year or more.
She is here, show up as her.

This year my focus is on 3 things, my body, my finances, and my natural beauty.
So if you see me looking crazy, with no makeup on, hair in low manipulation styles and refusing to buy new clothes…mind your business.
It’s all part of the process.

Remember girls, this is your year. 2024 is yours to conquer and yours alone. Be the main character of your life because fuck me if we still aren't taking actions to achieve our dream self. Stop sleeping on yourself! You literally deserve better than half assed efforts and excuses—you are a queen, so why wouldn't you act like one? Priorities your goals and then take actions. This is the year of us girlies who wanna improve ourselves, I can just feel it.

As a top tier woman 3 things matter:
Your education.
Your beauty.
Your character.
Being an educated, scholarly woman is so vital. Whether you strived for it as soon as you were able to or you’re still getting it now, having an education either self-taught or through a professional practice not only is important but it increases your self worth and how others view you. It is NEVER TOO LATE to learn, to grow and to enhance yourself when it comes to becoming better and having the skills needed for your career, your life and your embetterment. Find your passion, your art, your focus and start becoming the most elite version of what that is! The more you know, the more you will grow.
Holding yourself to your personal beauty standards is so important. And when I mention “beauty standards” I mean what makes YOU, YOU. Your idea of what beautiful is, your way of expressing yourself through skincare, clothing, makeup and hair is very important because it allows you to identify yourself and to also feel worthy of who you are. Looking good is just as important as feeling good. And that starts with taking care of yourself inside and out. Having a specific routine, developing your “main character” look and staging your taste is sooo important. How you look on the outside reflects the inside! Carry yourself like you were made to be shown off, always.
Above all, a woman’s character is the most important. Who you are, what your morals are, how you present yourself to the world and obviously to yourself are what matters. What you believe in and how you act is the staple statement of perspective and what you can gain and accomplish in this world. Aside from vanity, learn what makes you YOU. Fight for the right causes, be the person you desire to meet, become the woman you dream of and believe in by taking action that leads to HER. Stand for what you feel is right, help others in the time of need, be vocal about your rights and choose to add to the world with what you know to be true! Keep a great character, move with undeniable integrity and respect YOURSELF. You teach people how to treat you and that starts with how you treat yourself.

January Beauty Favorites
I am a woman who loves taking care of her beauty. I don't mind engaging in an elaborate routine of primping and preening for hours, devoting a considerable amount of time on finding the cream of the crop, exploring different options until I have found my holy grail, perusing reviews at lengths, delving into reddit threads and watching the tutorials to pick up the best of the best. When it comes to products, the first thing I look at are the ingredients. Over the years, I have absorbed a profusion of information thanks to my science + technology related studies as well as my personal interest, I like to combine my interests beauty and science because at the core of my priority is efficacy more than anything else. I've come to acknowledge that good things take time, I do not expect overnight results, outcomes materialize through consistency and cumulative efforts.
Fish Oil.
Fish oil is one of the most studied supplements out there and one of the safest to take and it provides countless benefits, I would strongly recommend doing your own research. I personally use it for its anti inflammation, hair and skin benefits, and brain health. My sleep score has improved immediately after taking it, my deep sleep increases and light sleep decreases and I feel energized instead of tired when I wake up. It also gives me the most vivid dreams. A good nights sleep is the bedrock of beauty so this is a winner.
Ardell Glamour Lashes #142.
If I knew the transformative effects of a good pair of fake lashes, I would have jumped on the bandwagon much sooner and I am kicking myself for not starting any sooner. It accentuates my femininity, it ironically enhances the natural beauty of my eyes and draws attention to one of my best features. I cut mine into multiple parts, as it allows me to work with more precision and it eases the application process. The product is great in terms of price vs performance, affordability, accessibility and versatility. I don't like the feeling of heavy mascara coating my lashes and taking it off is always a nuisance so this is another great alternative. They are long lasting as well, I have cried all night and they haven't budged one bit.
Lymphatic Drainage Massages.
I need everyone to stop what they're doing right now, watch the video I have linked and learn about the Big 6 by Perry Nickelston. There's a measure of fondness I harbor for alternative medicine, I enjoy reading and learning about the more natural ways one can improve their health and tweaking and adding new things to my routine to make sure I'm consistent while keeping things interesting as well. I always feel much better after a full body lymphatic drainage massage, I do them manually and it eliminates the tension I tend to hold in my body, and it also helps with fluid retention, the results are immediate and I love that.
Pure, Unrefined Rosehip Oil.
This recommendation came to my attention through an interview with Miranda Kerr who has used rosehip oil during her pregnancy in lieu of retinol and all over her body to protect her skin. It's a natural retinol with low levels of Vitamin A so it is not abrasive so I don't need to worry about added toxicity. There's a local organic store near my ballet studio and I tend to roam around the city before class starts, found this gem of an organic store and, spend an exorbitant amount of time scrutinizing all the products (I was in heaven) and I picked this up on my last trip. It's a greatly moisturizing oil and I apply it whenever I feel like my skin can not handle the tretinoin and my skin starts getting sensitive and I want some retinol with the hydration.
Hyaluronic Acid 100 mg pills.
HA in combination with Collagen helps me manage joint pain, HA gives you the softest baby skin in the world. It increases skin elasticity and plumpness and I maximize the results by drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated. Having well hydrated skin is incredibly important for me especially in winter you need to have a good base to work with if you want your make up to look good and last throughout the day. My skin tends to get dry no matter how many hydrating and moisturizing topicals I applied so HA really helps and I can continue to seasonal retinol use with no issue and look good.
Rose Mary Hair Oil Treatments.
I decided to give this one a shot as I have read countless anecdotes on Rosemary oil and the studies seemed to be backing them up, to the point they are comparable to 2% Minoxidil in terms of effectiveness. I have to choose hairstyles that are taxing on the hair throughout the day and it was high time for trying the oil treatment! I apply the oil 1-2 hours before I take my shower and let it sit and give myself an intense scalp massage before I apply it. I have only used it a handful of times but I could swear my hair has grown with this in combination with the Tangle Teezer The Scalp Exfoliator and Massager.

How to win this month…
Speaking life into yourself daily, no more judging yourself because you didn’t go for a run, or wake up at 5am. Choosing to love yourself unconditionally. Choosing to write those affirmations and stick them on the bathroom mirror, choosing to infuse your mind with loving, kindness, gratitude and all that yummy stuff on an hourly basis.
Focus on move the needle tasks. You want to write that book, loose 100 lbs, compete in the Olympics - whatever is your PRIMARY goal in life (and choose the primary one only), focus 100% on that task. Creating momentum around this one thing each and every day. Your primary goal should be your only focus. Secondary goals, are irrelevant. Nothing comes above your PRIMARY GOAL, and doing small little tasks each day to support this is how you make progress.
Organised days. As much as the feminine loves, flow, ease, loose unstructured days this truly does not bag you the life of your dreams. Break your day into 4 hour blocks, setting tasks in each block from when you wake up to the evening. This allows organised, focused, and productive days.
Using your resources wisely, if you’re still recovering financially from xmas, or on some kind of budget, ensure you spend wisely. Choosing health over aesthetic, choosing the Pilates membership over the designer trainers. The intolerance test over the sculpting facial. Investing in the inside before the outside is a priority. Making smarter financial decisions from a place of inner love.
Main character energy. Putting yourself first on a whole new level. No more thinking about the guy who you’re not even dating, no more putting mental energy into anything other than becoming your very best self. Period. If it’s taking mental energy from your purpose , from those move the need tasks, from your organised days, from spending wisely. RE-ALIGN, create space and re-centre and get back on the track. We're winning the race this year.
