I’m saying this with love and the experience of being there myself, if you find yourself spending hours researching and documenting the every moment of a person you don’t know, that is a sign that you’ve got to log off.

Keeping track of a strangers every online interaction. Using that information to speculate about their personal lives and relationships. Writing “Call out” posts with extremely serious accusations with little to no evidence. Log off. I promise you that doing literally anything else would be better for your mental health and overall well being.

my intentional morning routine:

-I wake up around 6 AM, instead of immediately getting on my phone like I used to. I lay in bed for a couple of minutes, allowing my body to realize the transition it is making.

-After that, I immediately drink a full bottle of water. This is pretty easy for me because when I wake up, I’m usually dehydrated even if I don’t realize it yet my body does. I’m able to do this quickly and easily by grabbing a water bottle the night before. By the time I wake up it’s usually warm, warm/hot liquids are actually very beneficial to your digestive system. This helps my digestive system get a head start on the day.

-I move onto making my bed. A step I never used to incorporate because I always felt it was unnecessary but once my bed is made I rarely want to ruin the work I’ve created which urges me to not get back in it.

-Tea. I always drink some type of tea in the morning, my go-tos being ginger or green. This is another thing that I do for my digestive system as well as overall calmness. Instead of doing another task while having my tea, I like to enjoy it and simply take gratitude in the drink.

-I then go into breath work, I do a Nadi Shodhana technique of alternate nostril breathing, as someone with severe anxiety breathing has become a big part of my journey in managing it. Even if I’m not feeling anxious I love to get a head start on it (something I learned from my therapist). I tend to do this practice for a few minutes and find my body in a completely calm state afterward.

The Technique:

*Sit in a comfortable position for me this is usually with my legs crossed.

*Place your ring finger on your left nostril and your thumb on the right.

*Cover your right nostril and breathe in through your left, cover your left nostril and exhale through your right nostril and repeat.

*When you are finally done with this practice exhale fully out of your left nostril.

-The next thing I like to do is engage in prayer and gratitude. I have created a specific prayer that I repeat every morning, although it changes when needed. I simply express gratitude by writing out everything that I am thankful for in that moment in my journal.

-I then move onto hygiene and breakfast which I’ll usually have a smoothie or oatmeal if I’m not fasting.

And that’s my intentional morning routine!

Femme Fatale Guide: A Beginner's Guide To Embracing Your Sexuality

A high-level guide for women/vulva owners reclaiming their bodies from patriarchy and/or purity culture and any AMAB individuals who want to learn more about how to support/pleasure their AFAB partners. Hope this helps xx

Let go of any shame: Desiring sexual pleasure and gratification is a primal urge. It's part of human biology (for most of us, at least), so begin deconstructing this shame/validating your needs. Mental blocks are going to be the number one thing that stops you from enjoying yourself or "getting there" once you figure out the basics for your body

Get a mirror and learn about your own anatomy: A roadmap is always helpful for directions – for yourself or to help guide/instruct a partner

Give yourself alone time to explore and experiment: See what feels good, even better, and not so much. Be patient and realize you deserve this indulgence. It is a private, not a shameful, practice

Introduce toys and sensory enhancers, if desired: Vibrators, CBD, arousal gels, sensual music/films, etc.

Read and learn more about female sexuality: I highly recommend Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski and She Comes First by Ian Kerner (also give them to a partner if you have one currently or in the future to read, honestly). Jessica Valenti's books are also incredible to help understand the social constructions surrounding female sexuality and owning it as a woman in a patriarchal society. Indulge in spicy books and ethically-made porn for some more steamy ideas/fantasies to explore

Communicate openly with any (prospective) partners about sex and your sexual boundaries: Share about your comfortability, preferences, things you want to try, etc. Don't be shy to speak up or help redirect. Being kind doesn't mean having to be a doormat. Consider all partnered sexual experiences as an act of sharing and exchanging pleasure, not as a means of control or coercion

For my in-depth guide/tons of recommendations, check out How To Embrace Your Sexuality Playbook in the hyperlink (Post+).

all right u obscene fucks some of you don't have a skincare-obsessed sister and it shows

alright so anyone who shaves their no no square is going to know what im talking about so just bare with me. some of us are too broke to afford a wax (i have eight dollars in my spending account rn), so here's what ur gonna do. everyone whos shaved that area has most definitely experienced irritation, ingrowns, bumps, and itchiness. this is not good, especially for those of us with a history of sh. that alone has triggered multiple relapses for me, cus why does my body itch? and then my brain spirals from there

if its been a while since u've shaved? no worries stink i didn't use to be regular either. if its been a while and you have a bit more hair, make sure to trim the area carefully, with a sanitized pair of scissors.

dry brush the area, you can get a dry brush at target, i got mine for five dollars

gently exfoliate the area, i use a home made one w sugar, oil, and dr bronners unscented soap. i use unscented because i have keratosis pilaris, eczema, and sensitive skin. use unscented soap, not no Japanese cherry blossom ass shit from bath and body works. do you want a yeast infection? unscented is the way to go.

get clean razor, i switch mine out every month or so. i use harrys because they're marketed towards men so a closer shave w more blades. before u do anything w the razor, run it under warm water, if the pressure in your showerhead changes switch it to the highest pressure and rinse the blade to get any gunk out of there

drop the shaving cream, the conditioner, whatever u use. drop it. switch for coconut oil instead, unscented as to not irritate the area.

at first go with the direction of hair growth, stopping to rinse the razor and the area every few strokes. then go side to side, and up and down.

as soon as ur finished rinse the area with freezing water as to close/tighten the pores!!

when ur out of the shower use either after shave, or witch hazel. i like to use aqua velva after shave, it smells nice, and also marketed towards a male audience so it actually fucking works. pour a little bit on a cotton round, wash rag, or toilet paper and apply it to the area. it'll sting a little bit, but that's the tightening and toning of the area, don't worry. for those of my afab friends do not put it in there. only on the skin outside of it!! no one wants a yeast infection, or a uti, we don't do that here. (however if you do get a uti or yeast infection, boric acid suppositories at target, azo cranberry tablets and apple cider vinegar tablets. do what you will with that. miasaurus on youtube has great videos on these topics, an ex-stripper and also incredibly funny) tend skin is also a great option but really expensive, when my parents were together my mom got my bald-headed ass daddy a big thing of tend skin for his birthday.

moisturize with unscented lotion, i use cetaphil on that area and coco butter everywhere else

in the showers following ur shave down there, use a salicylic acid face wash on that area. i use cerave because i got it cheap with ulta points, i would recommend cerave because it's formulated with ceramides to keep your skin barrier healthy as well as being unscented. salicylic acid is an acne medication that also helps prevent ingrown hair and itchiness.

moisturize moisturize moisturize!

repeat as necessary friends! go fuck that person bald down there. or don't, whatever floats ur boat. if you wanna be smooth down there (cus its fucking comforting), go be smooth if you wanna!

my mom or my older sister did not teach me this, so i had to figure out what works too embarrassed to ask for help.

👄🌹💎🛀HYGIENE TIPS! 🛀💎🌹👄

Hello everyone!

When I was a teenager I struggled a lot with body odor, didn't take care of my personal hygiene much because my mother never taught me these type of things, she always told me it was because of the hormones and never helped me by buying products or teaching me how to take care.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, it's never too late to take care of yourself and everyone has to learn. Some people don't have sisters, present mothers or anyone that teaches them.

Apple Cider Vinegar: if you struggle with body odor, apply some acv with a cotton on the parts you sweat most before you shower. Also you can use acv for your 🐱 BUT DON'T APPLY IT DIRECTLY, pour 1/2 glass of acv into your bath.

Towels: use a different tower for your hands, body and 🐱. After using them, let them air dry and wash them twice a week. I prefer to clean my downpart with water and a towel (only use soap after s*x and when I'm on my period). Make sure to dry it well to avoid infections and fungus.

Oil pulling, tongue scraper and floss: literally changed my life ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Rinse your mouth with coconut oil for 10-15 minutes, it's one of the first things I do when I wake up but you can also do it at night. Tongue scraper everytime I wash my teeth, be gentle! Little pressure is enough. Remember to floss everyday.

Double cleanse: double cleanse your face and body.

Wash your back after conditioning: the rests of conditioner may cause back acne.

Dry exfoliating: exfoliate your skin with a shower glove before you shower.

Try to use unscented soaps or shower gels: products with perfumes tend unbalance your ph. So be careful with the products you choose, I personally recommend the Pure Castille soap as shower gel or the Dove bar soap.

Scents I do not recommend for deodorants: coconut, lemon and rose. I think that the sweat mixed with those scents make the smell worse.

Always carry baby wipes.

Antiperspirant deodorant. I recommend the Vichy antiperspirant deodorant, fun fact: the men's collection is actually better. But wash it off before you go to sleep, so your pores don't spend too much time clogged.

Any other advice is welcomed!

BE SAFE EVERYONE!!!

if you have an updated body care routine, please do share it 🤍

🎀

Ofc :) 🩷

My updated hygiene routine

Pay attention to the signs your body is telling you. If you notice a certain food is causing you hives, it is likely an allergic reaction, or if your body has more odor than usual then it is time for a detox.

You do not have to sacrifice eating certain foods because of body odor! It is obvious that onions or garlic will cause a smell. Just make sure to wash your armpits at least twice before getting out of the shower.

Baths are your best friend if you have persistent body odor!!!

Try to make it a goal to bathe at least 2-3 times a month. The steam helps with sweating out the toxins. If you are sensitive to hotter temperatures you can take a warm bath, it does not need to be hot.

When taking a bath use natural products to avoid a UTI. Also understand your sensitivity to scented products. I use rose oil, rose bath salts, and any soap I have available at the time.

Body scrubs or bath salts are good for gentle exfoliation.

INVEST IN A BATH NET!!! It is a life saver I tell you, my back acne has cleared up especially and my skin feels much softer. You will not regret it!

Buy a showerhead filter. Helps with filtering out hard minerals from tap water.

Pat dry your skin instead of dragging the towel across your face and body.

All you need is deodorant, soap, body scrub/salts, and lotion. Nothing else. Oils and body butters is just if you want the extra moisture, shine, & smell.

Show everyday from head to toe pls…

Only wash the outside of your vulva with soap (Pubic area and labia majora) and the inside of your vulva with water.

If you’re not comfortable with washing your vulva with your hands, use a washcloth, avoid harsh exfoliators as well.

Use heavier shaving creams if your body hair is thick.

You do not have to shave everyday. Your skin would literally be raw if you do this. Wait at least 2-3 days before shaving again.

LEAVE THE COOCHIE ALONE IF YOU JUST SHAVED!!! Avoid scented products because it will irritate your skin + cause a uti.

Change pads at least 3-4 times.

Bring non scented flushable wipes with you in your bag for public restrooms.

Take your vitamins, drink plenty of fluids (water, juice, tea, etc), and eat fruits and vegetables to help with your ph balance.

Your body can respond differently to certain fragrances. Work with your natural scent instead of going against it.

Products I love to use for my hygiene routine:

Good luck! Lmk if it works 🥰

easy and natural tips on being prettier for feminine-presenting people!!

try to tan/aloe use vera after tanning

Nails- long & natural or keep them professionally done- both are cute if you do it right.

Lip scrubs and lip oils and use chapstick!!!

Take care of your skin, lotion everywhere always especially feet/hands at night

Cold showers are rejuvenating for your skin and hair!!

Scalp massages help to initiate faster hair growth (look it up for better instructions)

Trim hair every 6-8 weeks

a little bit of water in dry mascara makes it creamier

the magic of mascara is usually in the wand and not the formula, you can reuse better wands in less expensive mascaras instead of buying more!!

Beard dye on eyebrows to make them darker can help to add more definition and structure to your face

Spf moisturizer everyday!!! find skincare products that work for you, it is worth it even long-term!

Drink so much water (like actually)

Take good care of teeth, make sure they are visibly clean and your breath smells good

A quality deodorant, body lotion and a little perfume are always important

Jewelry and accessories always help you look more put together.

Face/hair masks 1x a week

Posture, you can do exercises to improve it and be aware of it always. It helps to slim your body visually and appear more confident wherever you are.

Castor oil (and if you can afford it eyelash serum) eyelashes/brows

Ice cubes for the face 3-4 times a week

Using a form of jade roller moisturizes more effectively

personal opinion belly rings specifically/other piercings look amazing on EVERYONE and are huge confidence boosters!!

Biotin oil for scars and stretch marks 2x a day at least to help them fade, takes time but works after a month or so!!!

If anyone would want me to make another about weight loss I lost 30lbs in 3 months and can help you guys out in healthy and effective ways. trying to boost confidence!!!

Just a quick sketch of a particularly blue Bellflower, though frankly you’d think she’d be named Blue-Bell instead *que the boos and bricks, though I might have gotten Howdy and Barnaby laughing a little and I will take that* Maybe somebody can give her a hug, a slice of fruit…maybe a splash of color?

Here you can better see her eye half lidded. It’s not technically eyeshadow just went for a darker indigo to show off that her eye’s half open/half closed. Buuuut if you wanna think it’s eyeshadow go ahead but Bellflower’s not one to wear makeup unless she’s in a play because it goops up on her fur and feels really weird if she wears it for long periods of time. Just a mini fact about Belle.

#bellflower bat #welcome home oc #welcome home puppet show #welcome home #welcome home fanart #technically this piece is for a story I want to write #Just don’t have the writing drive in me #I am so happy with how this sketch turned out #Feels like I am finally getting her fluff down #Or she just hasn’t brushed her fur in a while #Seriously girl your hygiene routine is better than this #Or is this new do a part of the story plot #Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #hhhhhhhhhh #i cannot tag well #Send tagging help #Or just advice

Hello! Do you have any tips for a scent layering routine and how to always smell clean and fresh? Thank you!

Hi love! Sharing some tips below. Hope these help xx

Scent Layering Tips:

Remember your routine starts in the shower. Use fragrance-free body wash/lotion if you want to ensure they don't mix with any perfume/fragrance mists. Otherwise, test to see whether your favorite scented body wash/lotions complement each other/work together to create your desired scent.

Apply scents from the heaviest to the lightest. Apply your heady perfumes (musky, deeper, spicier, and richer-smelling scents) before your lighter fragrances (brighter floral or citrus scents). Typically, bolder perfume scents have more dynamic and/or deeper base notes (the notes that last on the skin for the longest skin [4-6 hours -once the perfume has "dried down"]. Popular base notes include vanilla, oud, musk, patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood) and can have common heart notes [actualize around 20-60 minutes after spraying the perfume after the top notes, or initial scent, starts to fade]. Some common heart/middle perfume notes include jasmine, rose, cinnamon, geranium, lavender, black pepper, pine, and lemongrass.

When in doubt, layer two perfumes (and/or scented body products) with the same/overlapping base and/or heart notes. Think a vanilla-scented body lotion with a vanilla-based perfume or scents with vanilla-jasmine notes like Valentino Donna Born in Roma EDP layered with Versace Crystal Noir.

Don't layer two heavy scents together. Think of scents like Tom Ford Black Orchid and Mugler Alien paired together. When combined the smell can be overwhelming and give you a headache. Huda Beauty created a great fragrance scent layering guide (in the hyperlink).

How To Smell Fresh All Day Long:

Shower daily with soap and water under your arms, behind, and on the bikini area (only use water on the inside/your vulva)

Moisturize your skin daily (body hands, face)

Brush your teeth twice a day. Floss at least once a day. Keep a disposable toothbrush or at least some breath mints handy for use throughout the day if needed

Apply an antiperspirant deodorant every morning/before any activity where you think you'll be sweating. Carry around a mini one in your work bag or if you have room for one in your purse if out for several hours at a time on a hot day

Have feminine hygiene wipes and wet wipes on hand to cleanse the downstairs regions as needed

Keep some cleansing wipes/spray to refresh your body/face if you're in a hot/humid climate or are prone to sweating (I like the Pacifica Coconut Milk & Essential Oils Underarm Deodorant Wipes and Evian Facial Spray to freshen up throughout the day)

Change any liners/pads/tampons every 3-4 hours when not asleep

Wear underwear with a cotton gusset daily (lingerie is the exception)

Change your underwear and socks throughout the day

Ensure you're washing your towels and pillowcases at least once a week

Choose breathable fabrics (linen, bamboo, cotton, Tencel, silk, merino wool) in the hot/humid weather or if you're worried about sweating

Keep a rollerball of your go-to perfume to freshen up on your pulse points if needed throughout the day/night
