GLOW UP GUIDE FOR 2025⠀

READ: On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And considering that 2025 is precisely these many days away, why not start with our glow up plan already?

Physical Glow Up-

BODY

— 5-10K steps a day.

— 7-8 hours of sleep.

— workout everyday for 1 hr atleast- yoga/stretching/pilates/cardio/lifting weights. a workout may take one hour, but your mood will be boosted for the next 12 hours.

— posture training.

— sunlight exposure after waking up for at least 10 minutes.

NUTRITION

— 2-3 liters of water every day.

— limit your caffeine intake.

— avoid sugars as much as you can.

— high protein diet, pre and probiotics.

— more fruits and veggies (+ green smoothies if you like).

— no junk/processed food/trans fat.

— no eating after 8 pm.

SKINCARE

— be clear on your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).

— once you're clear, use these accordingly- cleanser, toner, targeted serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (≥50 spf).

— keep your bedding clean as well.

— no picking of skin on your lips, cuticle etc.

— gua sha to help improve blood circulation and lessen toxins.

— cold therapy may take three to five minutes of being uncomfortable, but your energy levels will be boosted for the rest of the day.

— remove makeup before you go to bed.

BODY CARE

— shower every day.

— exfoliate 2x a week.

— use body lotion (shea butter/aloe vera gel/coconut oil).

HAIR CARE

— wash hair 2-3x a week

— oil your scalp 2x a week, at least 3 hours before shampoo.

— hair mask 1x per week.

— never brush wet hair.

— use silk pillow case.

HYGIENE

— brush your teeth 2x a day, clean tongue and the roof of the mouth daily.

— floss daily.

— cut your nails 1x a week, never remove the cuticles.

— glycolic acid under arm for odor and discoloration.

— never use soap on your coochie.

Mental Glow Up-

MINDSET

— set clear goals- define and breakdown your aspirations.

— start your mornings with positive affirmations.

— surround yourself with uplifting content and people.

— be shamelessly selfish to your career and mental health, remove anyone or anything that doesn't align with your priorities and wellbeing.

— boost your brain health by these 4 neuroscience tools:

difficult first: start your day with the most difficult task (cortisol and dopamine are high in the body meaning that your body/mind is primed to work).

rest your eyes: introduce a micro-pause after learning by resting/closing your eyes - will help retain information better.

tomorrow's worries: write tomorrow's to-do list before bed as it is proven to be effective in helping you fall asleep.

find time to play: engage in low-stake play. can be anything you find fun but where the outcome doesn't matter (induces neuroplasticity + reduces stress).

MIND

— meditation might take as low as ten minutes, but your focus will be improved for the rest of the day.

— no social media after waking up and at least an hour before bed.

— keep aside 1 hr of time to read daily! reading a new book may take five hours, but you will keep the knowledge forever.

— journaling, gratitude.

— digital detox once a week or for 12 hours.

— limit unnecessary screentime, unfollow or cut off people you don't want to see.

JOURNALING

— choose a regular time each day to journal, making it a part of your routine.

— find a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. light a candle if you want.

— allow your thoughts to flow without censoring or editing.

— write about your feelings and emotions to understand them better. write about things you are thankful for to boost your mood. write about your short-term and long-term goals. identify what triggers certain emotions or reactions

— set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write continuously during that time.

— reflect on both positive experiences and challenges.

— make lists, journal your thoughts on these questions.

— journal at night to clear your mind before bedtime, because emotions and thoughts lose their power once we acknowledge them.

— a gratitude practice may take five minutes, but your mindset will be shifted for the rest of the day.

AFFIRMATIONS

— customise affirmations to your needs.

Personal Life-

WEEKLY TASKS

— initiate small changes: begin with small, manageable tasks such as making your bed or cleaning your room every sunday.

— celebrate your success: reward yourself when you achieve your goals or have a consistently productive week. consider treats like buying flowers for yourself or watching your favorite show.

DAILY WORK

— set achievable goals: establish realistic goals for the day, week, or month ahead.

— track your progress.

— organise your work space, declutter your shelves etc.

— embrace the power of lists: keep a list of tasks to be done and their deadlines. this way, you start each day with a clear plan. to make it visually appealing and motivating, consider using productivity apps like evernote, habit tracker, or notion.

PRODUCTIVITY TIPS

— wake up early.

— plan ahead everything, do scheduling. you can use:

google calendar / notion / tasks .

— if the task takes less than 2 minutes to finish, do it immediately.

— countdown rule, if you are procrastinating, count 1-2-3-4-5 and jump.

— start slow, don't rush and try to do everything at one time.

— follow a proper routine, use app locks based on screentime.

— pomodoro technique, 25 min work, and 5 min break.

— schedule longer break times as well e.g 30 min nap.

꒰ఎ 🌸 ໒꒱ ㆍ ‘she’s just like candy, she’s so sweet’

── THEIR FAVORITE SMELL .ᐟ.ᐟ

when you wore that nectar and sweet peach body lotion for the first time, kento went crazy. it was during your vacation in the south together, you had just gotten out of the shower and the fruity scent graced his nose to leave a delicious imprint upon his nostrils. he walked to you, mesmerized, a careful hand trailing your back and you wonder why he seems in a trance when his eyes land on yours, heart pupils staring at your skin. before you know it, he’s removed your towel and has you all to himself in your bed. since that day, you never ran out of that lotion. there was always a bottle ready to use, graciously offered by none other than your husband who had fallen even deeper in your enchantment.

sukuna’s sense of smell is unmatched. you’ve never been worried about him losing you in a crowd, especially when you wear the exquisite honey and lemon body cream. it agitates his senses as he flies to your side. him who has known but blood and sweat now smells the sweetest scent he ever came upon. he is shamefully excited by the scent alone and the fact that your body wears it stimulates him even more. he’ll never admit it, though. he wonders what kind of spell you’re using when his body refuses to let go of you. he’s planting his nails into the fat of your ass and his fangs in the crook of your neck as he inhales the addictive perfume of the product.

when he comes home exhausted from work, higuruma delights himself in the charming coconut and coffee body lotion you use. the robust but addictive smell of fresh coffee beans mixed with the sweet aroma of coconut makes him want to devour you whole and gives him just enough energy to do so. throwing his suitcase aside, he entraps you in his embrace and buries his nose in between your boobs, placing hungry kisses upon your naked chest with desperate sighs. he has you trapped between his arms for the night and won’t let you go until he’s got enough of that heavenly scent.

you better believe choso is non-stop glued to your body every time you wear the oatmeal and shea butter body cream. you’re trying to leave the bed, but he has his arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer — and be certain that his lips will never dare leave your skin. you taste like a comforting breakfast mixed with the softness of butter. your skin has never been this smooth and you’re clearly not the only one enjoying it when your man is sucking and biting into your flesh to savour the meal.

coconut ☁️🥥🧴🌴🐚

haircare; coconut milk shampoo & conditioner by ogx

bodycare; coco cabana body wash and body cream by sol de janeiro

perfume/bodyspray; coco cabana body spray by sol de janeiro and coconut passion by Victorias Secret

It all began when you and the Slytherin Gang would chill in your common room late at night. Your sister had send you a package with some new products from the muggle world form a brand you really liked. You let yourself fall back into the couch where your boyfriend Enzo pulled you between his legs, so your back was against his chest. Not even a minute after he smelled your hair and his eyes widened as if he just pulled a line of coke he asked, "Baby, what is it that your hair smells so good?" He starts sniffing your hair like a dog and you giggle, your cheeks blushing. "My sister sent this to me the other day. A few products from the muggle world that I wanted to try. It's the brand I told you about a few days ago." He tried to listen to you but was totally consumed by the new smell. "Here, smell this." you grin and hold your arm in front of his nose. "What is– oh god damn.." The smell of coconut made it's way through his nose right to his brain. "It's a new body lotion and two body spray's I mixed so–" But before you could finish your sentence he pulled you with him up from the couch and pushed you towards his dorm. "Uhu you can tell me all about it once I'm ready with you."

Theodore:

pistachio & salted caramel 🍂🌞🍯🌰🧸

bodycare: body lotion and wash nr. 62 by sol de janeiro

lips: salted caramel lip balm by rhode skin

perfume/bodyspray: bodyspray nr. 62 by sol de janeiro or Casablanca Swiss Arabian perfume

His obsession with your smell started when you came back from your summer holiday's with your parents in the muggle world. You showed him what you brought back there, doing a little haul in front of him and your friends. They knew how much you loved to show the your new things every time you got back so they sat there and listened to your happy voice. "Oh and I almost forgot! I got these new things from a brand called 'sol de Janeiro' it's supposed to smell like pistachio and salted caramel. It's smells delicious really." You handed the items around and your friends smelled on the lotions and sprays. They all told you how good and yummy it smelled, smiling at the scent. When they finally passed it to your boyfriend, he took a smell and his eyes widened immediately. "Oh Mia cara this smells— oh dio aiutami." He pulled you closer to him and sprayed the bodyspray on your skin, waiting a few seconds before it dry's and he pulls your arm in front of his nose. "Oh principessa, this smells even more devine on your skin." "I'm glad you like it, Teddy." you smile at him and giggle. He puts more on you, on your bare legs, your arms, your chest and neck. "Baby we need to go." he suddenly urges and try's to pull you away from your friends who look knowingly at your boyfriend. He leans down to your ear and whispers into it, "It turns me on so fucking much sweetheart. And If you don't come with me right now I'm gonna take you over this couch."

Mattheo:

vanilla 🍦☁️🧁🧸🍨

bodycare: vanilla shea butter body wash and body lotion by dove

lips: laneige vanilla sleeping mask

perfume/bodyspray: Vanilla 28 perfume by kayali and Vanilla bodyspray by Victorias Secret

Mattheo really tried his best to be a good shopping partner but after the hundreth shop you walked through, he barely could comprehend anything you said. "Oh look a drugstore! I need a few new things. I wanna change my scent." His eyebrows shot up. "New scent? In like, new perfume?" You nodded your head and walked inside, your eyes already on a few products. "Yes and also my showering routine has to change so the smell matched the perfume." he looked at you in confusion. What do you mean your shower routine has to change? Just shower, right? "Hmm I'm thinking since it's getting a bit colder I'm gonna go for something less fruity." You browse through the shelves of the store until you find something to fill your basket. "And?" he asked lazily, looking at the new items. "Vanilla." you proudly smile at him, taking one of the bottles and opening the cap. "Here, smell it." You hold it in front of his nose and he takes a little sniff, his face soon changing into utterly confusion. "Wait–" he mumbles when you're about to pull the bottle away. He takes it out of your hand and smells it again, then the rest in your basket. "Oh baby, If you're gonna smell like this I'm eating you up as soon as you leave the shower." he smirks at you. You roll your eyes but can't help the giggle that leaves your mouth. "What are you doing?" you question your boyfriend when he starts walking through the store on his own. "Finding more of this vanilla stuff!"

Draco:

fruity 🍊🍋🌞✨🍹

haircare: mehr shampoo and conditioner by rituals

bodycare: mehr body scrub, shower foam and dry oil by rituals

perfume/bodyspray: body mist mehr by rituals or orange soleia by guerlain

Draco couldn't understand what got you so obsessed with muggle things until you showed him your newest treasure. "So you've been in this dirty muggle world to buy what? Showergel?"he mocks you a bit when he sees all of your new stuff spread around you on the bed. You roll your eyes at him and scoff. "Oh don't be so grumpy Dray, this smells really good. You'll love it." He sighs and sits down at the edge of your bed, his eyes scanning all of the products. "Looks pretty.." he admits in a quiet mumble but you still heard it. "I know! It's on the more luxury side and like a whole new brand! It's supposed to smell like orange and sandalwood." "Sandalwood? You wanna smell like a forest?" "Dracooo stop mocking me, please. Try it and tell me how you like it, seriously." You pull off the cap of your new bodyspray and spritz it on your wrist, holding it in front of his nose. You studied his face to see a reaction, but nothing. "Draco? Don't you like it? I chose something fruity because I know you li–" but before you could finish your sentence, you were pulled up from your bed. "Dray, what are you doing?" "We're gonna take a shower, right now." "Oh so you like the stuff from 'the dirty muggle world', huh?" Now you were the one who mocked him and made him roll his eyes but in his opinion it was worth it. "Yeah yeah, we'll see who's gonna laugh when I am ready with you, darling." And just like that your smile dropped to your panties.

sooo this is something different let me know If you liked it ☁️✨

also got inspired by a post from @ahqkas and how Theodore would love your vanilla scent. 🍦

+ i swear the rituals of mehr is SO freaking good! I worked at a rituals shop and it‘s so worth it 🍊

Bruises - Kang Dae-Ho x Fem!Reader

Follow up Piece to:

Voice Like Honey

Tennessee Whiskey

Synopsis: In the aftermath of the bar fight, you tend to Kang Dae-Ho's wounds

A/N: Based on this ask

Every inch of Kang Dae-Ho’s body hurt, evidence of the bar fight he’d been an unwilling participant in the night before. His left eye was black and blue, as was the right side of his jaw. His ribs were agony, his back was covered in grazes, but he was quite sure he’d never been happier. Bruises littered his body, but he barely seemed to notice the pain. Last night you’d told him that you liked him, had said the words he’d longed to hear.

You’d taken him upstairs to your apartment, had iced his bruises and kissed the pain away. you’d both spent the night in your tiny double bed, Dae-Ho wishing you’d hold him and you too scared to cuddle him in case you hurt him. You compromised by holding hands, drifting in and out of sleep in a bed that wasn’t quite big enough for the both of you. You looked down at him now, holding an ice pack to his bruised face, rolling your eyes as his face erupted into another smile.

“Why are you smiling?” you laughed, dipping your head to brush your lips against his. “Because of you,” he answered, pulling you in to deepen the kiss before hissing in pain. “You should really go to the hospital,” you chastised, removing the icepack from Dae-Ho’s face and handing him some pain killers. “That guy could have broken something.” “I’m fine,” he insisted, waving away your concerns. Truthfully, he was in agony, but going to the hospital would pull him away from the coziness of your apartment, would put a stop to barrage of kisses you were giving him as you played the role of his nurse. He hadn’t imagined this is how he would be passing the time in your bed, propped up on pillows with packets of frozen vegetables dotted around his body, but you were the most incredible nurse.

You passed the day in bed, watching crappy TV, eating takeout and periodically icing Dae-Ho’s face. You wished you’d called the police last night, wished that the person who’d done this to him could pay for his actions. Your colleagues had tried to stop them once you’d taken him into the back, but they were long gone. You hated seeing him so hurt, but not once did his smile fade. Dae-Ho was stronger than he gave himself credit for and you hoped one day he’d be able to see it.

Later that evening, as he started to feel a little more himself, he headed for a shower, blown away by the number of lotions and potions you had stacked on the shelves. He took turns smelling each one, wondering how you had time to use these all. He secretly enjoyed the soft scents of your body wash though, lathering himself in the rich foamy jojoba and shea scented cream. As he exited the shower, he took stock of the cuts and bruises adorning his body. His face was still swollen, a section of his ribs slowly turning purple. He looked slightly worse than he realised, his fingertips gently skimming the bruise around his eye.

“I told you that you should have gone to the hospital,” you smiled from the doorway, taking in his broad shoulders and chest, his toned stomach. The towel wrapped round his waist was barely holding on and he could feel himself stiffen under the soft fabric. You looked so beautiful standing there, clad in leggings and an oversized t-shirt, your face makeup free. If he hadn’t felt like the human equivalent of a punching bag, he’d have made love to you right there on the bathroom floor. But the mirror had shown the full extent of his injuries, and he’d have no choice but to be content with your kisses until he was fully healed.

The frozen peas were placed once again on his bruises, your lips peppering soft kisses against his lips. You brushed the hair from his eyes, tracing the bridge of his nose with your finger. He still managed to somehow look so gorgeous, his eyes softly gazing into yours as he reclined on your bed. You couldn’t wait to be back at the bar, back up on the stage singing together.

Singing with Dae-Ho had always been special, but now you knew it would mean so much more.

Dessert First

Kinktober '24: Day 1 - Foreplay

Pairing: Swiss/Cumulus

Rating: E

W/C: ~1.8k

Contains: flirting, intentionally cheesy and mostly food-based banter, making out, groping, heavy petting, fingering without penetration, (Cumulus has a big clit pass it on)

Huge shoutout to @kroas-adtam for this year's prompts!

“You're so fuckin’ pretty.”

Cumulus blinks, leans back to look out the hotel bathroom door with a raised eyebrow. Swiss grins at her, offers a wink and a little finger wave. He's laid out on his side on the bed closest to her, head propped up on one hand, the picture of relaxation in a pair of worn flannel pants and nothing else. Cumulus looks at her reflection in the wall-sized mirror; she's fresh from a too-hot shower, face still flushed and curls pulled up into the messiest approximation of a bun she could manage. Dressed in an old pair of Aether's boxers and an oversized tee, toothbrush still in her mouth, she can't imagine pretty is the word for her right now. She gives him a soft snort as toothpaste dribbles down her chin, but Swiss doesn't seem put out in the least. 

“I mean it,” he assures as she spits into the sink, rinsing with a handful of water. She hears the mattress creak, the dull thud of footsteps on low-pile carpet, and as she straightens up strong arms loop around her waist. “You're gorgeous, Lu.” Swiss plants a kiss on top of her head before resting his chin there, smiles at their reflection, and it's so infectious that Cumulus finds herself smirking too.

Read the rest below, or on AO3!

“Sweet talker,” she accuses, and Swiss doesn't even try to deny it. She sighs, letting her head rest against his broad chest. Breathes in the fading aroma of his spicy cologne and the lingering remnants of the joint they'd shared before her shower. A moment of quiet peace, interrupted only by the distant hum of the air conditioner. 

A moment is all she gets, of course - this is Swiss, after all. It's no surprise that his hands go from holding to fondling, a broad palm pressing into the softness of her belly and skilled fingers teasing the curve of her hip. Cumulus gives the back of one hand a gentle smack, rolls her eyes as she goes back to brushing her teeth. 

Swiss, never one to be dissuaded, occupies himself with the self-imposed task of feeling up every inch of her he can reach. Her stomach and hips, her thick thighs and unbound breasts. They may sag without a bra, but she's yet to have any complaints. Least of all from the ghoul at her back, whose half-chub is currently pressed up against the cleft of her ass while he cups her tits through her shirt. 

“So warm,” he muses, stubble grazing her throat when he leans down to kiss behind her ear. “Startin’ to think I should've joined you after all.” Cumulus rinses one more time, shaking off her toothbrush and tucking it into its case as Swiss casually rolls her stiffening nipples between his fingers. 

“It's not my fault you couldn't take the heat,” the ghoulette smirks, reaching for her nightly facial moisturizer. “You know it's boiling or nothing.”

Cumulus gasps as she squeezes some cream onto her palm, a response to Swiss dragging the tip of his tongue down her throat. He follows it with a nip to the spot where it meets her shoulder, and Cumulus shivers as she applies her lotion. 

“‘Scuse me for not wanting to turn to soup.” Swiss tucks a finger into the collar of her tee, tugging it to the side to trail kisses down to her shoulder and back again. He presses his nose to her skin, taking a deep inhale. “You smell like…what is that, cupcakes?”

“Vanilla, coconut and shea butter,” Cumulus corrects, but Swiss isn't exactly wrong. She knows she smells good enough to eat - insists on it always - and judging by the way Swiss throbs when he sniffs at her, he agrees. The ghoulette snorts. “Y’know," she teases, wiggling her ass just because she can, "you're awfully hard for a guy who said he'd be asleep before I even got soaped up.”

Swiss grunts, gives her nipples a pair of firm plucks that make Cumulus gasp. 

“Can you blame me when you look like this?” 

One hand remains on her breast, but the other moves to rub slow circles into her belly. It drags her shirt up, exposes pale skin decorated with the prettiest stretch marks. His fingers slip under the fabric to trace a pair of them, ticklish, soft flesh twitching under his touch. Cumulus bites the inside of her cheek to hold in the sound that tries to escape her, resting back against his chest with a soft sigh. 

“I bet you say that to all the ghouls.”

Swiss smiles at her in the mirror, cheeks dimpled

“You callin’ me easy?” 

She flashes him a grin, tongue poking between gapped teeth, and a quick burst of want flows through her pelvis.

“No, I'm calling you a slut!”

Swiss gives her the most offended look, but it's betrayed by the sparkle of mischief in his eyes. It's a shimmer the ghoulette is all too familiar with, and with a giggle Cumulus reaches up to poke him in the cheek. 

“C'mon, playboy,” she coos, “it's past our bedtime.”

The ghoulette squeals when, with unnatural speed, Swiss’ groping hands move to spin her around at the waist and hoist her up onto the vanity. He spreads her thighs and crowds in close, Cumulus’ tired eyes going wide as toiletries fall over all around her. Swiss plants his palms on the countertop, leans in until they're nose to nose, and when he licks his lips it's the ghoulette's turn to throb. 

“What about my midnight snack?” 

Rough fingertips find her leg, drag over the exposed skin of her knee and along her plush inner thigh. Swiss’ eyes never leave hers as he slides them upward, digits disappearing into the leg of her boxers. 

“Don't want me to go to bed hungry, do you?” He leans in closer, until she can smell the weed on his breath. “Cupcake?”

Swiss winks, clicks his tongue, and Cumulus’ eyes flutter when his probing touch finally reaches her most tender of places. A single finger teases her folds, Swiss’ cock visibly flexing in his pajama pants when he finds the beginnings of slickness there. The ghoulette lets her shoulders sag, reaching up to get small, soft hands on his chest. 

“Cupcake, huh?” 

Cumulus’ mouth curls up at one corner as her fingers glide through his chest hair. Manicured nails scratch over muscled shoulders until she can cross her arms around Swiss’ neck, and the ghoulette's lips part when he circles her clit with the tip of that slippery digit. They're so close now, Swiss’ mustache tickling her upper lip with every passing breath. His other hand moves to caress her cheek, knuckles tracing the soft line of her jaw, and Cumulus licks at one when it follows the curve of her lower lip. She lets her legs fall further apart, gives Swiss space to slip a second exploratory finger between long lips, and the pair of them groan when her clit twitches.

“Well, you have been a good boy tonight,” she lilts, low, and a dark spot blooms near Swiss’ waistband. “I suppose you deserve a treat.” 

The ghoulette closes the gap between them, and Swiss has his tongue in her mouth before their lips even meet. Not that she minds, of course - it's easier to suck on that way. 

She loves when Swiss gets like this; it's slow and decadent, messy in the best way. Cumulus hooks a leg around his hip and the ghoul groans into her mouth, oh-so-gently pinching her clit. She shivers with every touch, dragging her nails across his shoulders until she can get both hands in Swiss' hair.  

All the while, Swiss’ probing fingers grow slicker and slicker. He doesn't slip them inside, not yet - just takes his time petting from her clit to her pucker and back again until every part of her swollen sex slips through his fingers with no resistance. Only then does he break the kiss, still holding her face, a string of saliva stretching between their reddened lips. 

“You're so wet,” Swiss rasps, as though she can't hear the evidence of that herself. Can't feel the dampness soaking into her boxers, no doubt leaving a sticky spot on the stone counter below. Cumulus huffs, leans in to give his lip a tug with blunt teeth. 

“Of course,” she trills. “The best part of a cupcake is always the frosting.”

She's sure that the way Swiss drools and humps the edge of the counter is involuntary, but it still makes her stomach swoop. 

“Oh yeah,” he agrees, voice gone thick. “Can never have enough, myself.”

The very tip of one digit teases her entrance, and Cumulus lets out a soft oh. 

“Sometimes I just eat it with my fingers.”

The ghoulette sighs when Swiss pulls his hand away entirely, dragging the backs of his fingers along her thigh and leaving a shiny trail behind. He holds them up to the light, stretches her slick between them, and Swiss’ eyes roll back when he licks them clean. 

“Fuck, you taste so good,” he moans, unabashed, and if Cumulus wasn't wet before, well…

“Plenty more where that came from, sugar,” the ghoulette breathes, buzzing all over. “You shouldn't let it go to waste.” 

Swiss doesn't need to be told twice. In no time he's gotten her out of those boxers and dragged her ass to the edge of the counter, kneeling before her with those glorious thighs hugging his ears. The ghoul looks up at her with dark, hungry eyes, and her fat clit pulses.

“Go on, baby,” she murmurs, sinking her fingers back into his tight curls. Cumulus’ other hand wanders up her shirt, finds a taut nipple to play with as Swiss reaches around her legs to spread her open with both thumbs. “Do a good job and maybe I'll let you turn me into a Twinkie instead.” 

She winks, Swiss’ entire body spasms, and with a deep, deep groan he sinks his teeth into the meat of her thigh. Sucks in a mark that she can already tell will be the loveliest shade of purple come morning. He laves at the dents his teeth leave behind, staring only at the place she's gone all pink and puffy. Her clit stands at attention, so stiff the hood has slid back nearly all the way.

“If you do,” Swiss rumbles, kissing up to the crease of her hip, gaze heavy, “then I can lick out the cream filling.” 

The ghoul’s golden eyes flash, and Cumulus throbs hard when his unglamoured tongue rolls from his mouth. He drags it through the damp curls surrounding her twitching length - so big and excited now that Swiss could probably suck it like a cock if she asked him to - and when the forked tip of that devilish tongue grazes the base it throbs so hard her thighs shake. Cumulus sags back against the mirror, crosses her ankles behind Swiss’ back, and gives him her darkest eyes and sweetest smile. 

“Only if you promise to feed it to me after.”

what kind of conditioner do you use? I'm trying to grow my hair out and i miss bleaching/dying it colors but i know if the texture gets too crunchy it'll drive me nuts and i'll end up shaving it all off again

So I do things a bit differently after a fresh bleach.

I used this for 20 minutes post bleaching yesterday:

And that was after about three hours with Arctic Fox dyes sitting in it. My hair currently feels super soft but a bit dry.

For at least two months after a bleach I'll use some variety or other of intense moisture masque regularly. I generally like Palmer's Deep Conditioning mask but I just picked up some new stuff to try so I'll report back on those once I've tried them.

Day-to-Day in the shower I use Trader Joe's Shea Butter and Coconut Oil Hair Mask. Day-to-Day *after* a shower I use Cantu leave-in conditioning cream with shea butter and argan oil (any kind of argan oil, there's no brand in particular that I use).

I don't shampoo often, but when I do I use Love Beauty and Planet Mumuru Butter and Rose and I will sometimes use that conditioner as well.

If you're worried about your hair getting fried by bleaching you can also work on your bleaching process. You can get bleach with a bond repairing compound in it (Blonde Me is one brand that does this) or get a separate bond repairing serum (Olaplex is the one that everyone talks about but I think Sally Beauty has a house brand of bond repair product). You can also use a lower volume developer and a slower bleaching process to prevent damage. The photos I posted the other day are from about 45 minutes with a 20-volume developer instead of 20 minutes with a 30-volume developer and my hair feels much better than it normally does after bleaching (I have been using QuickBlue bleaching powder and it is *effective* and inexpensive, but bad for your hair - if you can afford something like Blonde Me or another system with bonding elements that will have less crunch than quickblue or prismalites or any of the cheaper brands out there).

꒰ ☆ ꒱ — onyankopon wants to leave your ass ashy&lt;;/3

includes; fluff, kisses, slight suggestive and ony being an ass but you love him<3 just a small drabble ficcy icky

“nuh uh baby, yous a big girl, use your words” onyankopon smirks as he stares at you trying to get the shea butter container from his hand. you just came out the shower and all he wanted was some kisses! until you said after your creamed your skin to which he took offence too and is now holding the cream high from your reach..as in hes literally holding it to the ceiling with his tall ass .

“lemme cream my skin babe!” you frown and hold your towel around your body firmly as you jump up trying to get it but it was no use. he’s just standing there, one hand up still holding the butter with the other on his waist just staring down at you with amusement in his eyes.

“give me a kiss girl” he leans down and puckers his lips but only receives a lick from his chin to his nose. he moves away from you in shock? staring at you with shock and covering his mouth in confusion…

and shock.

you stand there giggling and he deadpans at you. “see now, i was gonna give it to you but since you wanna be all funny and shit, you can stay there till your skin turns ashy” you gasp and he grins

“i don’t wanna be ashy ony”

“i know you don’t”

“i hate you”

“you love me” he winks and you huff, crossing your arms and tapping your foot on the ground. “ony, can i cream my skin! it’s getting dry!” you stomp your foot and fuss but all he does is laugh at your childish antics.

“nah you’re good, it’s fine if you have ashy legs baby- shut up talking to me” you grit and he laughs louder, still keeping the butter out of your reach.

“just give me a kiss then i’ll let you cream your skin” he bargains and you roll your eyes before puckering your lips. he smiles brightly and lean down to give you a sloppy kiss, putting a hand around your throat and you moan against his lips in both affection and surprise. he was deadass about to add tongue too but you opened your eyes and see that he lowered his hand so you separate your lips from his to jump and finally grab the butter! now you run away to the bathroom giggling like a maniac

he grunts and watches you run then starts running right after you but it was too late. the second your body was in the bathroom, you slammed and locked the door behind you panting slightly

“LET ME CREAM MY SKIN” you yell from behind the door and he chuckles, already missing the feeling of your lips.

“you cheated” he puts his hands on his waist and you snort. “i’ll kiss you more after now go sit somewhere you nasty animal” he rolls his eyes playfully. “i think i’ll stay out here and wait till you open that door” you giggle and start creaming your skin as he stands there leaning against the door with his eyes closed listening to the soft sounds of the speaker that plays from inside the bathroom with you. it went from low volume to high, the songs playing was ‘been away’ by brent fiyaz and can also imagine you dramatically singing along.

the door swings open and there you are with shorts and his tank top on. he licks his lips and eyes you up and down making you snort.

“want some vaseline?” you chuckle and walk to him to wipe his bottom lip softly. he rolls his eyes and brings you close to him just to kiss you once more. you wrap your arms around his neck while his arms go around your waist, a hand trailing down just to squeeze your ass and make you squeal.

“you so nasty” you push his head away and run towards the bed where you collapse on it, him trailing behind you and collapses on you too.

“ONY! you’re heavy man damn!” you whine and he just laughs at you, kissing all over you face. the music still play from the bathroom and it’s just you both on each other, and staring at one another softly.

“i love you“ you whisper, nudging your nose with his own and he smile, pecking your lips and shoving his head into your neck so he could hug you tight.

“i love you more baby”

“still can’t believe you’d let me get ashy wit yo bitch ass”

“you ruined a perfectly loving moment woman”

My current perfume layering routine:

(I'm going for light and sweet roses and vanilla for the summer, but with a slight exotic twist)

Wash with sandalwood soap (I leave it sit for a few minutes because sandalwood is good for your skin)

Wash again with Imperial Leather Rose Milk and Mallow shower gel

Massage Palmer's Cocoa Butter Oil into my body while it's still damp (it smells like soft vanilla)

Moisturise with Nivea Rose and Argan lotion

Apply rose oil on my pulse points

Then spray perfume on top of the rose oil. My current favourite is Fatima Pink by Zimaya, which is a really really close dupe of PDM Delina and lasts for ages (if you like Delina but don't want to pay €260 and don't mind using a dupe I'd def recommend this for €40, it's the same scent and longevity in a different bottle). It smells like sweet, light roses, a bit fruity, and to my nose it smells kinda like Turkish Delight.

I'm also:

Using Jurlique rose hand cream every time I wash my hands

Washing my hair a couple times a week with As I Am coconut cowash, shampoo, and leave in conditioner (they smell like coconut and Shea butter)

Oiling the ends of my hair daily with L'Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil (love the smell of this, and it also just glides on and softens the hair without looking greasy)

I also have been using honey peel masks, honey and almond sheet masks, oil pulling with coconut oil, applying Glossier birthday balm throughout the day and Klavuu rose lip treatment morning and night, massaging my scalp and hair with a mix of hot argan oil, black castor oil and jasmine oil once a week, and massaging argan oil into my face, lashes and brows at the end of my skincare routine (but nobody will be able to pick up on these scents except for me unless they're way too close lol)

Roses are in bloom at this time of year, and are classically feminine and elegant. Vanilla is also feminine and adds warmth and sweetness. Sandalwood is woody, exotic, and calming, while coconut is tropical, sweet and nutty, perfect for summer. Which is the vibe I want to evoke this summer - feminine, sweet, and summery, with some exotic allure.

[classyrbf]

okay so a lot of y’all have been asking for my hair routine so I’m gonna tell you what products I use. Reminder: this is might not work for everyone so find what works best for you

1. I wash my hair twice a week, shampoo and conditioner. I use tresemme flawless curls brand. I usually soak the conditioner throughout my shower and only wash a little bit out not all of it bc my hair gets super dry

2. I obviously brush my hair get all the knots out (I fr be struggling) and I use shea moisture curling cream and lean in conditioner and only add a little bit of that product and comb it through

3. I let my hair air dry. I’ve tried diffusing it before and it just makes my hair super frizzy no matter what so I’ve resorted to air drying which takes hours

4. Then I sleep with my bonnet (obviously) just to try and keep my hair moisturized and less frizzy sometimes I apply more leave in conditioner before going to bed but not all the time cause I don’t want too much product

[genderqueerdykes]

I hope this isn't too silly a question, since starting Testosterone I've struggled with incredibly dry hands, more specifically over winter. I've tried a couple moisturizers (really only two LOL), but they either don't like stick for very often and I feel like I'm moisturizing constantly, (though that could very well also be because of my bowel problems and having to wash my hands all the time), and/or my hands are so cracked that the moisturizer stings.

Do you or your lovely followers have any suggestions for keeping my hands moisturized and free of painful dry cracking?

sometimes people do experience fluctuations in whether their skin is dry or well hydrated when taking hormones, i know some people who have had less issues with dry skin after starting estrogen but it's going to be different for everyone

i have psoriasis, so i have be picky with what lotions i put on, as some just don't help at all. i also have to wash my hands a lot due to GI issues, so i relate to that part as well. im actually dealing with treating very dry hands right now and only finally making some progress, so i'll throw the very few tips i know your way

in terms of moisturizers to use, this is going to depend on your skin and body chemistry. rule of thumb, try to find lotions and creams that are dimethicone free if possible. dimethicone is literally silicone used in beauty products to smooth over rough surfaces and provide a "velvety" texture, but it's doing nothing to hydrate the skin. it's giving you the illusion of moisturized skin. it's some pretty nasty stuff. it's being labeled as a "skin protectant" these days but that's not why it's used, it's used as a cost cutting measure because actually hydrating substances are expensive

if possible, try to experiment with different moisturizers made from different sources. some people respond well to coconut oil, for example, while others will respond more to shea butter, or something else. there's also the option of trying the more medically approached moisturizers like Eucerin, Gold Bond, and so on. i've had Eucerin suggested to me many times, and it is a little pricier, but it works well which means you'll use much less. Vaseline makes lotion now as well which a lot of folks with skin problems seem to like. others use Vaseline, itself. you may also want to try Aquaphor to see if it helps treat the cracking. the texture is very unique, so just a heads up there.

applying moisturizer after a shower/bath helps it really settle into the skin, this is usually the best time to do so. it's okay to apply it at other points but it really works well applied to dry on the surface, but recently wet skin. if you're dealing with winter temperatures right now, your home environment may be too dry in general, in which case a humidifier can actually help improve skin quality. i need to use one often times in winter

anyone else who would like to chip in with advice, feel free to do so! good luck

[thepinkseductress]

Do you want to smell like the yummiest and sweetest slice of Strawberry Angel Cake and fluffy whipped cream?

The best feeling in the world is when you walk past a group of people and you hear someone say, "She smells really, really good!" or just simply talking to someone and they say to you, "OMG GIRL! What are you wearing? It smells sooooo good."

Well, at least, I love it when people say that about me. My biggest goal is to not only be the prettiest person in the room but also the best-smelling person.

Personally, I love sweet scents with candy or cake-like notes. I'm a gourmand girly DOWN!! Its fu-serious!

Teeny-weeny little piece of info: I have parosmia, which means the smell factory in my brain is a little out of whack. UGH! I know. I can smell just fine, but I can be a bit sensitive to certain smells, in which they may smell a little off compared to anyone without parosmia. But I swear I am reliable.

Now before I tell you what scents I like to layer and what perfumes I like to drown myself in, it's vital to understand that smelling good starts in the shower.

To me, the foundation to smelling like a literal piece of heaven depends on your body scrubs, shower gels, body wash, etc.

My shower routine:

Always Always ALWAYS start with a bar soap. It leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean. We want a clean canvas (clean skin) to work with. More specifically, this soap has a sweet and soft scent to it. Almost Angelic. It has more of a vanilla smell than shea butter but is still an exceptional cleanser. BRAVO!

At least once a week, I'll use a body sugar scrub. Usually on Sundays, before a busy and treacherous week, I'll scrub off last week's problems with a course body scrub. I like my body scrubs to be course yet moisturizing, and lucky for me, I found one at TJ MAXX (my second home).

Currently, my favorite is the Body Prescriptions Sugar Almond Body Scrub (I can't find a pic anywhere. Sorry!). It has the smoothest consistency that will have your skin feeling the cleanest it has ever felt, while leaving behind a yummy shine that will have you glowing.

Lastly, I adorn my skin with this lovely lady. She Smells BOMB.COM!!! When I say it smells yummy, delectable, edible, sweet, and everything delicious, believe me, girl. I would never lie to you. EVER.

Take my word, Bestie.

MOVING ON!

After-shower care:

Usually after a shower, my lotion depends on my mood.

She's my best friend when I'm having a mild kind-of day. When I'm stuck in the house all day or if I want to enjoy the simpler things in life. She's smells light but sweet. yum.

For a more, INTENSE day, we use her. The holy grail. You get it.

Super sweet and a little childish in my opinion. But idk its heavenly.

BODY GLAZE My Love!!! I live by these two body glazes.

You can layer them on top of the lotion if you want. It's your life… Live it. Me, I rather prefer to only layer the Birthday Frosting BODY GLAZE.

In terms of Miss Strawberry Shortcake, I'll use her all by herself; no lotion is needed. She performs better alone. IMO.

Both project very well, suuuuperrr duuuperr moisturizing, lasts all day, and will have people stopping you on the street to ask you, "OMG GIRL! What are you wearing? It smells sooooo good." …see what I did there?!…no? oh…okay. 

Let's move on, I guess.

I don't care how good your skin smells. If you're not wearing deoderant and those pits are funky, Bitch, YOU'RE FUNKY. PUT SOME DAMN DEODORANT ON!

This does not apply to my besties who do not wear deodorant due to any beliefs or discrepancies.

Anyways, this deodorant smells like a yummy slice of coconut cream pie with a pina colada on the side.

Have you ever watched your mom, grandmother, or any older woman that you look up to powder themselves?

It's not just for sweat, honey. Some powders come perfumed to add a little "umph" to your hygiene routine.

This powder holds a very special place in my heart. It smells sweet and a little floral. A very true vanilla flavor. It almost reminds me of French vanilla ice cream or syrup.

I keep my powder in a powder dish with a cute little pink powder puff sitting on top of the powder.

After spraying on my deodorant, I'll puff this on my underarms, back, and in between my legs, and at night I'll apply some to my chest and belly. Usually this is added the areas that I sweat the most.

Now on the part that you've been waiting for! Or at least what I've been waiting for…

Perfumes:

BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN!!

…No, really…bow down.

This is a very sweet, cake scent that can be a little finicky. I find it hard sometimes to layer her with other perfumes or products that are more fresh or floral rather than sweet and gourmand. But let's take into account that I have parosmia.

Nonetheless, Mama is very sweet—almost too sweet, but that's what I want. I want you to get a sugar rush just from smelling me. And this perfume does just that. Projects beautifully and last almost a day. Around six hours later, I have to raise my arm to my nose to smell it, but during those six hours I can smell myself through someone else's nose.

Okay, I'm exaggerating, but seriously, she smells strong, sweet, and yummy.

I spray my clothes with perfume. And by spray, I mean DROWN. My soaps, lotions, oils, etc. are really in charge of my skin.

I see shimmer mist as more of an oil than a spray. I know that may not make sense, but hear me out.

I like to spray this on the parts of my body that will be exposed, like my chest, arms, back, and legs. I may even spray a generous amount onto my hands, until there is a puddle of it in my hand, and I will rub it into my skin like an oil. See, like I told you, I treat this more like an oil than a perfume.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

This concludes my usual hygienic routing, buuuuut I'll tell you a secret. Only because we're like besties or whatever.

I like to lightly spray my underwear and socks with perfume. Usually something a bit stronger than a BB&W perfume mist. A cologne, basically.

This keeps my undergarments smelling yummy.

WARNING: Your partner will want to eat your panties right off of you. Proceed with caution.

Remember, bestie, this is MY hygiene routine. I am simply sharing just in case you needed a little help adding products to your arsenal or simply organizing your daily routine. If you do not like anything that I've listed or if you wish to add something, do as you wish, babes!

This is for inspirational purposes, LOL.

I understand this post may be similar to other girly bloggers, much like me. I can assure you I am not the first person to make a post as such, and I won't be the last. I just wanted to share.

My intention is to NEVER be a kopy kat (yuck)!

Okay, I'm done yapping. CIAO!

Now to Layer……

Pick a theme for your scent combo. Here’s an example of my combo when I’m in the mood to smell fruity and tropical:

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

✮⋆˙So let’s build a hypothetical scent combo together, shall we? Let's say I want to smell like a chocolate banana crepe. Random scent that doesn’t exist, right?

⭒˚I’d probably start off with a body wash that has some sort of nutmeg, cinnamon, or amber scent. Or maybe something with a gourmand accord note. 

Here are some body wash options I’d consider for this combo: Olay - Sugar & Cocoa Butter  Philosophy - Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere  Bath and Body Works - Christmas Cookies Caress - Shea Butter & Brown Sugar

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

⭒˚Next up is a scrub. I’d look for something with similar notes, but not exactly the same. Maybe this time something to represent the banana or sweetness of a crepe. If you can find a matching scrub, that works too– but I personally like to mix and match to really make my own scent. 

Here are some body scrub options I’d consider for this combo: Soap & Glory - Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub Dove - Crushed Macadamia & Rice Milk Dove - Hot Cocoa Swirl

!! : Body wash and scrubs are pretty forgiving. Remember, you don't have to stick to strict fragrance notes to pull off a scent combo– venture out! Pair whatever you think might smell good together. Smell is subjective :) 

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

⭒˚Next is a body moisturizer of some kind. This can be a body cream, lotion, body butter, or even body oil (though I’m not too well versed in body oils). Since we have the basics covered, now I can either double up on some notes or introduce new notes like whipped cream, vanilla, chocolate fudge, etc. 

Here are some moisturizer options I’d consider for this combo: Kwailnara - Banana Milk  Being Frenshe - Moon Milk Bodycology - Whipped Vanilla

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

⭒˚Moving on to fragrance oil. Again, doubling up or introducing new notes.

Here are some fragrance oil options I’d consider for this combo: Al-rehab - Choco Musk Roll On Oil  H&M - Choc Sugar Milk - Banana Pudding 

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

⭒˚Almost done! Let’s pick a body spray. 

Here are some body spray options I’d consider for this combo: Dirty Soul Soap Co. - Banana Milk Pie Body Fantasies Signature - Vanilla Bath and Body Works - Hot Cocoa & Cream

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

⭒˚Last but certainly not least, perfume!! Finally…. 

Here are some perfume options I’d consider for this combo: Sabrina Carpenter - Sweet Tooth Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Vanille Banane Ariana Grande - Vanilla Suede 

°。 ⋆༺♱༻⋆。 °

Phew!!!! I don't know about you people but my mental nose is completely blind at the moment. So many scents to choose from! Again, don’t feel confined to making sure every product has a certain fragrance note– it's pretty impossible. Play around with different scents: spray perfumes over each other and test them out. Mix body washes if you want! Who cares? Your next favorite body scent might just be two separate scents that were never meant to go together, and you’ll be the only one wearing it <3

nanami kento-

four letters. sure an insignificant number, yet it weighed on your mind heavily. it was a four letter word that had consumed your waking hours. uttered once by the man laying underneath you. In a pussy drunken haze he uttered the 3 words that had your heart stopping. and he didn’t take it back once you finished the deed. nor did he elaborate on it. although now the setting is much different. his place is a modern high rise apartment. completely furnished with a lavish bathroom and king sized bed. Best if all he was partially secluded seeing as he had the whole floor. No neighbors to disturb nor to be disturbed. Now you rest hand and hand laying on his chest. heart bead melodic. The four letter word plagues your mid again thinking about how you got in the position. Nanami had the day off and managed to charm your roommates into letting him in. He sat for hours in your room cleaning and preparing for you to arrive home after a long dish of working and classes. As many times as nanami has offered to fund your lifestyle so you can focus on school you refuse. wanting to be responsible for yourself. you didn’t want to take from the older man he wasn’t your sugar daddy he was your boyfriend. and one you lov- liked a lot. The four letter word threatened to spill from your mouth upon seeing your newly cleaned room. Decorated with beautiful flowers, snacks, candy and a gorgeous man on your bed. the four letter word threatened to spill when y’all showered together and he patiently washed your thick curls. He remembers to brush from ends to miss to root. he allows the conditioner to sit and washes your body as it does. He gently combs leave in conditioner and curl cream as it’s drying and safety wraps your curls in a bonnet. ushering you to bed where your pajamas and comfort movie awaits. He tenderly rubs you down in your favorite lotions and shea butter. And tucks you comfortably on top of him. Mind so hazy with love and lust for the man beneath you. you fail to realize he’s paused the movie opting to look at you. “what’s on your mind love?” he asked gently. you take a deep breath contemplating if now is the right time to state your feelings. fuck it if not now when. You turn to face him. Nanamis deep brown eyes pull you in. with no hesitation you blurt “i appreciate and love you so much nanami kento.” shocked the man recoils needing a moment to regain his composure. Nanami gingerly placed his large calloused hands on the back on your neck pulling you in for a kiss. Passion fills your kiss. feelings he cannot express and words he fears to say pour out in this kiss. “i love you too y/n l/n”.
