honeys guide to fall⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🧸💕

i am so so excited for fall 2024. this fall we're serving bambi doll, cupcake and espresso scented, french tips and nudes, crispy chocolate croissants and coffees, sweaters and mini skirts…����🎀

FALL BEAUTY ;

♡ soft bouncy curls

♡ nude lip combos

♡ french tips

♡ nude colored manicures and pedicures

♡ marshmallow scented hand creams

as the weather gets colder it becomes more and more important to keep ur skin moisturized and hydrated. carrying around a sweet smelling hand cream can help your hands to stay soft and not dry…💬🎀

pumpkin, coffee, vanilla, cupcake, chocolate, cinnamon, caramel and buttercream scents are giving fall…💬🎀

lets talk fall beauty products and scents because my favorite part about literally everything is the pampering aspect and the smelling super yummy so lets get into it. the body products i recommend to capture that fall, bambi eyed, doll scent and vibes are.

FALL FASHION ;

fall fashion to me is tights and mini skirts. leg warmers and uggs and form fitting sweaters. let’s talk about some fall fashion. the tights and mini skirt combo is a classic and it’s an amazing way to incorporate wearing mini skirts even as the weather begins to get a little colder. the tights add a nice touch, even if it isn’t the color of ur skin tone, tights IN GENERAL look rly nice.

ankle boots, ugg boots, BOOTS are so so fall. i rly love ankle boots that have a heel to them and bonus points if ur fall shoes include fur. the fall shoes on my shopping list are ->

ugg boots

ankle boots

mary jane style shoes

ballet flats

form fitting sweaters and jackets are so in for the fall. along with tracksuits. the color pallete for having a bambi doll fall are very much browns, cashmeres, and baby pink. honestly think of neapolitan colours. pink, brown and an off-whitish almost pastel yellow. think PASTRY PRINCESS.

baby phat puffers are perfect for the transition from fall to winter and a good pair of jeans is CRUCIAL for fall. another thing i wanna talk about with fall fashion is LAYERING. layering is such an important aspect of fashion period but ESPECIALLY fall fashion. experiment with different lengths, textures etc. one of my favorite layering combination during the fall is ->

long sleeve tops with a camisole underneath

a form fitting long sleeve top (the ones with buttons at the front) look so DOLLY and adorable when u dont button it, and wear a camisole underneath. its just MWAH. some more fall fashion details also include ->

fur details

ribbons and lace details

delicate jewelry choices

tights and leg warmers

layering

boots

neopolitan cinnamon princess color scheme

long sleeves

mini skirts + tights combo

A Very Niche Level-Up + Looksmaxxing Idea List for 2025

This list is for the girls that get it. It’s niche and not for everyone, but I’m throwing up at the fact that every “how to level up in 2025” post talks about journaling sad pages 24/7, drinking 8 cups of water a day, and walking 10k steps. How original.

Again, this is a very niche set of ideas. If you can’t relate then you can’t relate. But if you enjoy a good plastic surgery post and luxe lifestyle, maybe you will :)

1. Upgrade your car. We’re getting the Lexus’, the BMW’s, the Mercedes, the Jag’s, etc.

2. Upgrade your home. We’re living in high rises, we’re living in coastal areas, we’re living up in the mountains, we’re living where Amazon can drop our package off and we don’t have to worry about a porch pirate; we’re living in nice areas and in nice units/homes.

3. Breast augmentation.

4. Rhinoplasty.

5. Medical grade skincare.

6. Fresh, organic whole foods; focusing on lean protein, nuts and seeds, mushrooms, onions, leafy greens, pro/prebiotics, sea moss gel, etc.

7. Russian manicures and pedicures or a good acrylic set. Dip powder had its thing for a while but I’m not going to dip my nail in a powder everyone else dipped their nails. I bet they don’t even wash their hands and if they did, they prob didn’t even use soap.

8. Laser hair removal. Everywhere. If you want a design down there that’s cool, but you literally use the bathroom and it drips in the hair. “Oh but I use a wipe”. Okay, next time you need to wash your hair.. don’t use shampoo. Use a wipe. Invest in a bidet but still, hair shouldn’t be in your 🍑 or near the sensitive areas of your 🦋 the top is fine but if you have a period, pee, or “the other thing”, hair should be no where near those areas.

9. Lip filler. Everyone can benefit. Ask for a pout that sticks out a little bit. I don’t suggest a lip flip, I couldn’t do anything with a lip flip and it was driving me nuts.

10. Fake tan. Sunlight is fine but a spray tan just makes you look a million times better. Every skin tone and every race benefits from a spray tan. Trust.

11. Muscle definition. Muscle looks so much better than fat AND bones. You want muscle. Did you see how Bella Hadid had her foot on our necks at the VS fashion show this year? I was sickkkkkk.

12. Long hair. But if you have a face shape like Hailey Beiber, short hair looks better.

13. Makeup. Remember water-based products and oil-based products don’t mix, so make sure you choose your products wisely so your makeup doesn’t separate and you look a mess.

14. A better paying job. I left my hospital job and now I work in luxury real estate and international yacht sales.

15. Red light therapy for face and body. I have a body red light therapy dome that I got online for around $3,000 (USD) and it’s life. The one I have for the face is from Sephora and I spent like $400-$500 on that one. Whatever it says on the website.

16. Lashes. If you’re a pro at strip lashes, then yes. But I get my lashes done. Do not go crazy. Natural lashes are in so I ask for a classic whispy set focused for thickening my lash line and NOT for length.

17. Morpheus8 for skin tightening. I used it on my inner thighs and it literally saved my life

18. Lipo. If you’re a good candidate, get it. Sometimes belly pooch is hard to lose. I don’t have a pooch but I’m sure when I have kids I will.

19. Vampire facials. I can confidently say my best facials were vampire facials. My med spa charges around $950 for each facial

20. People can tell you’re wearing Shein. Their clothes are cute online but I’m going to hold your hand when I say this, they never look flattering in person when they’re being worn. People can see the loose thread and the see-through material. They also don’t fit anyone well and makes a lot of you look square. You get what you pay for in clothing. Learn about the basics of clothing and you’ll quickly only buy quality.

Yeah this list isn’t meant for everyone, but walking 10,000 steps isn’t going to take you to the next level. Neither is drinking water. They’re good habits, but they’re not going to level you up. And yeah I understand my list requires having money, but this is literally what my blog is about.

My 2025 Mindset Level Up book is here!

The perfect Sunday in Autumn 🍂📖

Waking up at your leisure and reading in the warmth of your bed whilst listening to classical music 🕯️

An “everything shower” using Vanilla and cinnamon scented body wash 🧴, pumpkin lotion, giving yourself a fall mani/pedicure 🍁

Tidy bedroom with fresh bedding, candles, fluffy blankets, and books 🕯️

Wrapping up in your loveliest sweater or coat, a fresh blowout in your hair, with soft makeup to buy chocolate pastries and a hot coffee to fight off the chilly wind outside 🍁

Sitting in a quaint café to escape the Autumn cold and drinking your coffee whilst reading a book 🕯️

Going home and planning out the following week, writing your to-do lists, scheduling your days and meal planning for the week ahead 🍁

Baking cinnamon swirl cookies or something with Pumpkin so your kitchen smells amazing and you have some sweet treats for the evening ahead 🕯️

Going on an afternoon walk to admire the fall foliage and to collect some for scrapbooking 🍁

Spending the rest of the afternoon painting, watching comforting Autumn films, cooking a cozy, beautiful dinner 🕯️

In the evening putting on your favorite cozy pyjamas, doing a face mask and eating your cookies you baked in the afternoon, all whilst watching a few episodes of a cozy Autumnal TV show (preferably Gilmore Girls) 🍁

Stretching, meditating, writing in your diary and reading before going to bed early in fresh sheets wrapped in the warmth of your blankets and the glow of fairylights 🕯️

Taking time for self-care is more important than ever, and one of the most effective ways to indulge in relaxation is through a classic manicure & pedicure. Nails are not just a part of your appearance but also a reflection of your overall health and well-being.

Why Choose a Classic Manicure & Pedicure?

A classic manicure & pedicure is more than just a beauty treatment. It’s an essential part of self-care that contributes to the overall health of your nails and skin. Regular manicures and pedicures help prevent common nail issues like infections, ingrown nails, and calluses, leaving your hands and feet looking soft, smooth, and healthy.

During a classic manicure, the focus is on the hands. The nails are trimmed and shaped, cuticles are cared for, and a nourishing treatment is applied to keep the skin soft. If you choose a classic pedicure, the focus shifts to your feet, with the treatment starting from a relaxing soak to exfoliating dead skin, followed by nail trimming and polish application. Whether you're looking for a basic nail treatment or a more luxurious option, both services contribute to keeping your nails and skin in great shape.

Benefits of Regular Manicure & Pedicure Sessions

Both classic manicures and pedicures offer numerous benefits beyond aesthetic appeal. Regular sessions help prevent nail problems such as fungus, ingrown nails, and dry skin. For classic pedicures, the massaging action improves circulation in the feet and lower legs, contributing to overall health. Classic Manicures, on the other hand, focus on enhancing hand care, improving circulation, and preventing cracked cuticles.

Publishing aunty please help. Need advice, not publishing related.

What do you do when you're just tired, feeling unfulfilled and want to run away from everything? :( 

That sounds like a classic case of Burnout to me, though it could be combined with something else -- like Depression, or even a medical problem.

(For example, at one point a couple years ago, I was absolutely exhausted for no discernable reason and burst into tears at the drop of a hat -- I chalked it up to "winter blues" and ignored it -- come to find out, eventually, I had severe anemia and my body was not absorbing iron at all and actually it was an autoimmune disorder and became a Whole Thing! Uh... oops!)

This article from the Cleveland Clinic gives a lot of advice about what to do about Burnout -- but the most salient points, I think:

Be gentle with yourself. Everyone goes through it sometimes. You aren't a failure, you're going to be OK, you just have to take care of yourself before you can properly take care of anyone or anything else. So with that resolved:

TELL YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM HOW YOU ARE FEELING. Keeping this stuff undercover is not going to help. Being honest with your friends/family/partner or whoever your "people" are will lighten your mental load AND they will want to help and support you.

Figure out what your stressors are and tactics to deal with them. Part of this will be linked to the previous part, probably -- For example, if you are burdened by too much work -- DELEGATE or ASK FOR HELP! You've told your support system what's up with you -- now tell them what you need to move forward.

Set Boundaries. If you're the type of person that says yes to everything and then you feel overwhelmed -- remember that it's OK to say NO. It's a good thing, actually. You'll be more "on" for the things that are actually important if you are able to protect your own boundaries and aren't wasting energy on bullshit things. I can't stress enough how important this is (and it's something I am always working on, because it can be tough!) -- but my life CHANGED when I made certain rules for myself and stuck with them. For example, mine: No checking email after 7pm or on weekends. At all. I gotta tell you, my life suddenly got a lot better. (I have forgotten this one recently, and my life has gotten markedly worse -- so I gotta get back to that!)

Go to the doctor. Yes, going to the doctor sucks! But they can make sure your bloodwork is OK, you aren't Vitamin D or Iron deficient, rule out any problems (like, I dunno, severe anemia)... etc etc. Like, step one of Self Care is knowing what your Self is working with. (And if you think you might actually be capital-D Depressed or have anxiety, etc -- ask for a referral to a psychiatrist to see about getting some medicine. IT WORKS!)

Practice Self-Care. Yes, that means the boring stuff like "hydrate" and "make you are getting enough sleep" and "eat your veggies" and "meditate" and whatnot -- but also, you want to "run away from everything"? DO IT. Take a vacation -- or even a staycation -- or even a DAYcation -- where you are literally not doing ANYTHING for anyone else, no email, no nothing. Get a pedicure with extra massage, sit in sunlight with your favorite drink, read a book or just think about NOTHING -- you have no responsibilities except to yourself during this time. It's rejuvenating!

Get toxic feelings out of your system. Find a therapist, if you can afford to do so. (There may be free or inexpensive options if you are a student, or with some insurance, some therapists have a sliding scale for patients, etc) A therapist can give you at least somebody to talk things out with who doesn't know you and isn't judging you. If that's not for you -- journal? Do something artistic? Go to a rage room? Climb a mountain and scream a lot?

Now you are on the road to being healthy, physically and mentally, you hopefully have less stress and are getting your forty winks and all that good stuff -- and hopefully you'll be MUCH better soon.

Good luck!

Burgundowy czy Bordowy? ;)

Nails are ready! I was looking for a specific hue of pink but I didn't find it so finally I decided on burgundy/maroon. Maybe I will do my own color mix another time, who knows. But if mani and pedi are ready, now is the time to do some more beaded jewelry... and I will be almost prepared to realize some idea... Have a nice Tuesday everyone!

Asking you to talk more on sukuna nd feet 😛😛

of COURSE !!!

I'm just still stuck on thinking about Sukuna being HELLA ancient and that really only coming through in his ... sexual preferences, and by extension... his preferences for the body, right? Which ik we're thinking is his liking for the body as it comes naturally, naked and untouched and etc...

SO, it makes perfect sense that he loves a nicely done-up foot because ... even if you're wearing clothes, a healthy looking, decorated foot is one way to show off the quality of your body without sacrificing much of your integrity, or the appearance of that specific body part... for EXAMPLE:

You can be wearing whatever kind of clothing you want, but with a beautiful mani-pedi and nice shoes, people look at you and KNOW you take care of your skin !!!

And for Sukuna, that's literally... nut-worthy automatically. That his woman is so cared for she, not only has hands, but FEET too, that instead of showing the affects of hard work on them... are pampered beyond belief and always look delicious.

Even if you do use your hands for work, or have hands that show that kind of hard work on them, the second Sukuna attaches himself to you, that's one of the first things he demands you fix (by paying for your spa appointments, of course)... and ain't no way in hell he's taking no for an answer.

(I don't even think it's something he cares about until he realizes he can care about it. He's just chilling, living his best, king-of-curses life... and then one day he notices you putting lotion on your heels before bed and the next time your legs are in the air, he's pressing your feet to his face. Or you put on an anklet just for the day and he doesn't let you take it off ever again, ONLY ever change it so he can hear the sound of it jingle when he's fucking you better. Or you come home with white toenails after a pedicure with your friends and suddenly he's kissing your toes before he eats you out every. single. time. No brain ONLY boner from there on out.)

When he finally gets into the groove, tho (or in an automatic, non-curse AU), Sukuna is definitely picky about what kinds of designs and colors you get during mani-pedis. It's so weird of him because he's a full on evil CURSE, but I know he's walking into that salon right along with you and not just watching your toes get scrubbed and painting, but helping you pick out the colors and diamonds too....

He scrutinizes your poor nail tech sooo hard, one of those guys who takes off from the tip immediately if they accidentally nick you with the clippers, or file something a little too roughly. His inspection face is so funny, because even though he's supposed to be there spending time with YOU, his eyes are on your tootsies the whole time (like a freak).

You can convince him to let you get fun colors (and tbh, you ARE the one who put him onto including crystals or doing frenchies in the first place), but I know he's a such a particular man when it comes to making sure your nail colors are ALWAYS elegant. Loves a classic nude or pink, sometimes lets you experiments with white or a couple crystals... but the whole point is that he never has to see your feet covered again, only ever decorated and in strappy-heels for the rest of TIME.

(And don't even get me started on how much he gets off on watching you do your skincare, too. Anything to do with taking care of your body he loves, adores, is obsessed with; you doing your hair. Putting on your lotion or oils. Washing yourself, your leg up on the side of the bathtub.

Plus, he never wants to see you in makeup or shaving or anything of the sort. He only wants you bare and raw the way you were made... and yes that means he will buy you ¥50000 korean skincare essence but refuse to buy you foundation from the convenience store.)

THANK U FOR ASKING, ANON, LOVE U!

"Who would have thought that I would be so fortunate as to find you here?"

All evil reveals itself to she who seeks it out. She had gone to no small lengths to find Rafal tonight, on the back of the rumors she had heard whispered about the floors of the ballroom. Most notably, that she had heard from one young Ewan, who while young, she trusted told the truth. All the easier to believe in not understanding what he had heard, and all the greater the crime that he had been allowed to hear it.

"I was starting to think I might not encounter you at all—it seems like you've been making yourself quite busy tonight, haven't you?" Swiftly, Poe circles around to the front of the chair he is seated in. Lingers, even, to loom over it. It was his mistake to let his guard down—to think that he was safe from her. A trivial task, to convince the professionals here today that she was a friend here to help him. And nor was it a lie. True to the belief that always lingered in the back of her mind, by the time she was done with him,

he would be on the path to improvement. No matter what it took.

"How flattered I was to hear that you've been talking about me of all people, by the way!" A blithe giggle punctuates seeming bashfulness that in actuality is anything but. Quieter, she continues before it can mistakenly be taken at face value. "It's a shame that what I heard did not reflect very well upon you."

". . .Hm. They are taking quite some time."

Cheek rested in cup of hand, another cup long since drained, the hospitable beverage provided at the start of his visitation sat discarded on the floor, and when combined with other grievances, left little more than piqued mutterings to be had. Forty minutes come and gone since Rafal had first taken his seat of the chair. Forty uneventful minutes dragged on by as other patrons entered and left their own, their every need attended to behind the obscuring curtains, their dreamy sighs and brightly chirped gratitude feeding only the imagination, then a sleepy yawn unhinging this viper's jaws.

In that unguarded moment, the curtain flared open and ushered in another. Rafal roused to a being of demoralizing, raging pink that did not deliver him from his circumstances. Talking about me? He spoke of Poe tonight, yes, but he could not place a specific instance and did not endeavor to distinctly remember any. Confusion levied itself as the initial reaction, annoyance the second.

"What in the worlds are you gibbering about?" Form straightened unconsciously, if at all due to the imminence of confrontation or to the unsightly approach of a woman deemed witchlike in all but flaming hair and bulbous nose, then he did not realize it. The black dress on Poe to that end was certainly an evocative look. "Do not be an eye sore. I have come for a treatment and so have been awaiting an attendant. Not you. But if you should aspire to take that place. . ."

A fan of knees spread wide, posture once again loose and unstrung, sinking into cheap cushions. The king and he knew it - or made so of himself. Poe, always and ever his antipode; the honorable castle wench come to empty his chamber pot.

"Then by all means. A trim of split ends would be of fine use! Or exfoliation! Even a pedicure. . .yes, a pedicure. Seeing you knelt in your rightful place at my feet would be fitting—" Smirk. The languid roost of face in hand turned all at once contemptuous.

"Wouldn't you say, Toe?"
