Socialite Series: Cherry’s Master Post

Things that have helped me, that could help you. Here is a master list of my softmaxxing journey!

Body:

J*hn Bent*n’s workouts: Yes he’s an asshole but his workouts really do work. He used to train models and his workouts are life changing.

2. B-12 Lipo salines: These you can consume in a shot (like an injection) or in a saline (go to a GOOD DOCTOR for this). I prefer the saline, and my doctor recommended the 6 week course for me (one saline every week). It burns subQ fat and that was the main reason why I began using those. There is zero side effect to these, acc to my doc.  edit: don’t really recommend these anymore. I’ll update this list when I finish my Emsculpt.

3. Diet: More protein, more vegetables, more water and lesser intake of carbs. Carbs are important but i used to over-consume them. Cutting down has helped me a lot. I also did a gut bacteria test (you basically sent a piece of your shit to a lab and they analyse it) to understand what foods worked for me and what didnt. 

4. Probiotics for metabolism management 

5. Measuring: I stopped tracking weight and began tracking body fat % instead. I feel that this works better for me. 

6. Wood therapy: I KNOW. You lot will think its bogus but it helped me and im sticking to it, so there. There’s no wood therapy spa near me, so i ordered the wood therapy tools from amazon, plastic wrap, a waist trainer, almond oil. I looked up videos on wood therapy and lymphatic drainage, and i do it for about 5 mins on my tummy and thighs before my work outs, wrap my torso with plastic wrap, throw the waist trainer on top. 

✨

Skin:

Accutane: this helped me tremendously with my acne and my skin is 95% blemish free now. If you are taking this, remember to be disciplined and regular. 

Zero alcohol: I stopped drinking completely and its done my skin and health wonders.

Products: Sunscreen + Vitamin C combo in the AM. Retinol + moisturiser at night. Recommended by my dermat. 

Hair removal: I refuse to shave because its so uncomfortable so i prefer to wax once in 2 months. Personally, when I began exfoliating my body twice a week - I use a scrub by the Body Shop - I noticed that the hair was growing back slower than it used to. I use a loofah for everyday too. I don’t believe in laser because it’s never just 6 sessions; you do have to have “maintenance” sessions as well post the 6.

Face sculpting: Gua sha on alternative nights. I dont know if this works or is placebo, but I felt like it did. 

Body lotion every day. Twice a day sometimes. I swear, it makes you smell good and feel so soft. 

Expensive make up: specially, foundation. I’m sorry, i know this could be controversial. But idk what cow semen Charlotte Tilbury puts in her make up, it seriously makes me glow. I’m yet to find a good drug store alternative. A while back, I stopped wearing concealer, and I began using a lighter shade of CT’s foundation as concealer over my normal shade. I feel that because the products are chemically the same, they blend better and don’t react and “peel.” Highly recommend that too. For the rest of my face like powder, blush, eyeliner, I do use normal drug store make up.  

✨

Oral hygiene:

I used to have braces. After taking them off, I noticed a difference in my jaw.

Brush, floss, Listrine, tongue cleaner

Mild whitening. I think Hollywood level teeth whitening looks crazy and I want to look as “naturally” beautiful as possible.

✨

Hair care:

For hair growth: as recommended by my doc: minoxidil hair foam 5% w/w Tugain Foam.

High frequency wand before wash days on my scalp. 

Moroccan hair oil. I use a tiny amount everyday on my ends after I finish my make up for the day and I swear it makes my hair shine like crazy.

I also got hair Botox done because i used to have curly but absolutely unmanageable hair. I tried to make it work for years but i gave up and caved in to having permanent straight hair and I love it. 

I only shampoo twice a day so on days when i workout but don’t shampoo, i use hair perfume. I spray some of it on my brush and run it through my hair. I swear it works. 

✨

Overall:

The colour palette theory seriously works. I didn’t realise that wearing the right colours can impact you so much.

Confidence is absolutely key. I seriously recommend going to a group class of some sort if you have the time and just mingling with random people. Social situations are important to gauge your “standing.”

Random but if you have a big nose: grow out your eyebrows / fill them in slightly thicker. I noticed that when I had thin eyebrows, my nose would stand out more but when I made them thicker, it balanced my face out better. 

Steam iron your clothes before you wear them. You will look 100% put together. 

*IF* you’re aesthetically challenged when it comes to picking clothes, use my rule of thumb: never wear any more than 3 colours at once  (remember: IF you can’t put outfits together).

Beauty Routine

[skirtjournal]

Daily AM and PM routine using Thomsen Beauty along with some additional tips

Three steps : Cleanse, Hydrate et Refine.

The most important thing - wash your face every morning and every night before sleep with the foaming cleanser, Azur, which provides deep cleansing of dead skin cells, pollutants and makeup, without drying your skin.

Right after the cleansing - use the beauty mist, Brume to rebalance the skin’s natural pH and to prepare the skin for treatment.

The best part of this ritual - the face massage (2 minutes at least with circular movements) with the oil serum Regina which activates the radiance of the skin. Concentrated in natural active ingredients and vitamin E.

During day time, use the daily moisturizer, Riviera or Paloma, it protects from pollution and keeps your skin hydrated :) Et voilà

According to custom the water of the first bath is sprinkled with holy water from the Epiphany and also with incense to ward of evil spirits. One or more silver coins are also laid in so that the baby can stay protected and loved by people just as the silver is; flowers/plants (basil, chamomile, mayweed, mint, peony) so that it would be beautiful, have rosy cheeks, and be gentle like a flower (Evseev 1999:73); honey or sugar to be a smooth talker (Hedşan 2001:16); keys to enter the world of knowledge; a mirror to beautiful to the world; an egg to be healthy and wholesome like the egg; milk to be clean and white-skinned; a nut or a pebble to be resilient; bread to be a good person "as good as God's bread" (the Romanian equivalent for "as good as gold"): "dear as silver, sweet as honey, good as bread, healthy as the egg, rosy cheeked as the peony, attractive as basil and white as milk" (Marian 2009:69-75; my translation)

what are the best life lessons you’ve learned?

Basic grooming is a must. You can’t just walk around looking like an animal and then wonder why no one in the world can take you seriously. As a society, we do place high value, respect and positive attributes towards people who look a certain way. Keep a base for yourself. For me: my facial hair must be removed at all times, eyebrows always done, I use a body perfume and a hair perfume to ensure I always smell nice, my teeth are always clean and my nails are always shaped and filed.

Read, read and read. Sign up for various newsletters to get bite sized info. Not just hard news but even things like arts, culture, history - there’s a lot of great newsletters out there. Try to incorporate at least one new learning in your conversations with people.

Mediocre work ethic is your biggest weakness. Learn to have good work ethic. If a task takes 5 minutes to do, then do it in 5 minutes. Be proactive.

spend some time alone in your day. When I mean alone I mean no phone, no laptop, no music, no books nothing. Just sit in silence and let yourself interact with yourself. Do nothing. It’s okay if you get bored. So many of us can’t stand our own selves and resort to blocking out our internal connection with distractions. Learn to THINK.

Practice everything. If you don’t know how to do something practice it. Don’t know how to have conversation? Practice in the mirror, create frameworks for yourself, but practice. Keep a set of generic questions that you can ask anyone you meet. Think of a few things that you’ve done over the last month or upcoming travel plans you have before you meet someone. I have a list called “socialising homework” on my notes app which i fill in before a major social event: my recent experiences, upcoming experiences, work status, current hobbies, current trending topics (politics, global news, culture and travel), and ideal perception (how do I want to be perceived? Intelligent, warm, marriage material, etc etc it differs from social group to group or person to person).

Wellness & Beauty Routine

general hygiene secrets + tips⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍦

while u upgrade in other areas of ur life, its important to upgrade ur hygiene and self care game too ✨ and this post can help u do that

DOUBLE CLEANSING ;

not only for ur face but also for ur body, doing so makes me feel a million times cleaner. when i double cleanse my face i go in with an oil based cleanser then a water based cleanser.

my double cleansing body recommendations are the dove bar soap, african black soap or the soaps from the doctor bronners brand

for double cleansing my body i'll use an unscented/anti bacterial bar soap and after rinsing that off i'll use a liquid body gel or body wash that has the scent that i wanna smell like

MY TAKE ON UNSCENTED BODY PRODUCTS ;

i think that unscented body products r lowkey slept on but in that same breath i can kinda see why. personally, i like to use an unscented soap sometimes and then make my body smell even better by using a body butter or a lotion but thats SOMETIMES.

TAKE CARE OF UR FEET ;

use a foot file/foot scrub to ensure baby soft, barbie-esque feet. before bed time make sure to moisturize ur feet with a body butter ro vaseline and sleep with fuzzy socks on.

also keep ur toes clipped, filed, and preferably painted. personally i like to go for white toes cuz i just think its classic, but in general do NOT neglect ur feet.

ALL ABOUT FRAGRANCE ;

i love to collect different fragrances and buy a lot of perfumes bcuz i just love the variety, i love the adorable packaging i just LOVE perfume. dont be afraid to blend perfumes together and experiment with how different notes in different perfumes can work together and give u ur own unique scent.

dont sleep on oil perfumes either, personally i find them to be very rich and SO LONG LASTING?? they're absolutely amazing. when u apply the perfume try not to rub, instead press and apply it to ur pulse points.

HOT TIP - when spraying perfume on ur body, make sure to apply some onto the insides of ur knees + ankles bcuz smell travels upwards so when u walk by, the air will smell yummy 🎀

SLUGGING SECRETS ;

slugging urself before bed ensures that when u wake up ur body will be SOFT and SMOOTH and glowy. the basic before bed slugging routine is to go in with a deeply moisturizing body lotion/butter. ur gonna wanna lather urself completely (from the neck down to ur ankles) then use a body oil.

things to look for in a body lotion or body butter - helps with properties like firming and tightening of the skin. aids in deep moisture if ur someone who has dull or dry skin.

its important to find a body butter + oil combination that works well with ur skin and doesn't break u out (plus smells good)
