petition to make mirrors illegal during the luteal phase ↓
When you’re in your luteal phase you HAVE to prioritize yourself as much as possible. Be kinder to yourself, more patient, embrace the temporary changes, and know that you aren’t alone when it comes to dealing with symptoms that come along with PMS (or PMDD if you’re like me 🥲) some days (like the one shown) I can’t get out of bed until 4PM - I try to fight it as much as I can, but I’m just a girl 😩

30 minute hairstyles > 🎀 this 3-part pony was sooo cute, but not as easy as it looks 🥲 - I still feel like I had a slight bump & it wasn’t perfectly flat, but we tried!!

calling all my nail techs to rate this set 💅🏽- personally, I give myself a 6.7/10 mainly because this took me 5 hours..my neck still hurts
BUILDER GEL NAILS
♡ Start with a clean, dehydrated nail
♡ Glue tips on (if applicable)
♡ Shape the tips and/or your natural nails
♡ Buff the tips
♡ Apply gel base coat & cure
♡ Apply “slip layer” of builder gel *DONT CURE*
♡ Apply a bead of builder gel on top of slip layer and apply this in a sweeping motion (YouTube University can further explain)
♡ Once builder gel is cured - reshape and buff
♡ Apply top coat and cure one last time or add designs!! (I’m a French girl through & through)

I will be dusting it off and trying again until I’m a pro - 🥲
WAXING TIPS:
♡ hard wax > soft wax - soft wax attaches to your skin & hair but hard wax attaches to the hair only!
♡ don’t warm it up in the microwave for too long, or it can burn your skin. 15-30 sec intervals!
♡ pull AWAY from the direction your hair grows
♡ tweeze the excess hair left over
♡ apply a light oil
make sure to clean your face prior to waxing! I like to wax with the shape that’s already the foundation, instead of making a new shape because that’s how you lose half an eyebrow…trust me 🥲

nothing fills my cup more than creativity ✨ - baking my own birthday cake is something the average person might dread, but MEEEE?! oh, I’m finna turn up 🤭 this was truly the best experience. Will I do this every year? NAH - but for this 25th year of life, I’m challenging myself.
I pray 25 brings -
♡ fulfillment
♡ the ability to bless others
♡ & a debt free me!!! (real shxt).
hopefully this inspires you to realize sometimes all you need is your own love of self to enjoy your birthday ( + a momma like mine 🥹)
