💜find your natural glow💜

❥how can you help yourself to rediscover your light? Unleash your natural beauty inside out

1. Everything starts inside.

You eat crappy food, have a messed up sleep schedule, don’t move and stay in your dark room all day? And you have the audacity to complain?

❥your life’s worth lays in your hands.

~find a healthy diet that suits you and fits into your daily life. Don’t label food into bad or good. Just know what you should eat occasionally and what to eat daily (and what amount). Control your portions.

~go to bed early. Get up early. Getting up before 6 and going to bed before 9/10 is a game changer. Woman need more sleep, so make sure to fulfill those needs.

~get some kind of movement in. Whatever it is. Just move. You’ll feel lighter in every way possible.

(Walking, Running, Pilates, swimming, weight lifting, cleaning your place, anything)

~a book is usually better than your phone.

2. Care and share

❥Haircare

~Oil your scalp with different oils (Castor, Rosemary, coconut, jojoba), heat it up a little and massage it into your roots and the rest for the lengths. Let it sit for some time and wash out properly.

~Use a fitting shampoo (hydrating, cleaning, etc) and use conditioner and hairmasks regularly.

~also, don’t dye your hair any crazy colour. Your natural haircolour is mostly perfectly fitting. Just take care

❥Makeup

Why am I seeing so many girls walk around with bronzer covering every inch of their face? Since when is a blush supposed to be that thickly applied?

~use a mirror. It does not look good.

Your natural beauty does not deserve to be suffocated

~the more natural the better. Apply makeup the way it FITS you and doesn’t bury your skin in products

~love you

Heyyyyy starfish! So now we're going to talk about how to create an alter ego and how it can be beneficial.

What is an alter ego?

Expression borrowed from Latin. A second self. A person to whom one grants absolute confidence and who is charged with acting in one's place. We also say colloquially: It's my alter ego, It's another me. So the alter ego is just another version of us that helps us reach a goal, some celebrities also use alter egos to evolve in their lives:

Beyoncé- Sasha Fierce: Beyoncé created the alter ego Sasha Fierce to express a bolder and more confident version of herself on stage.

Nicki Minaj- Roman Zolanski: Nicki Minaj has several alter egos, including Roman Zolanski, an eccentric and provocative character who represents a wilder side of her personality.

Lady Gaga- Jo Calderone: Lady Gaga has portrayed Jo Calderone, a male character, in some performances, exploring themes of gender fluidity and identity.

Now it's time to define the why. The why: the purpose of the alter ego, why I create it. Is it to leave weaknesses, adopt personality traits, etc. IT MUST BE STRONG, THAT'S WHAT KEEPS YOU CONSISTENT.

Then choose New traits. Things I miss or struggle with. Personality, values, hobbies. Why I admire certain people. understand every little insignificant detail of my alter ego. How would he act in a stressful situation. How does he approach his career, his dating. What is his state of mind in a romantic relationship. How does he act if he feels mistreated and angry. How would he act if he fell in love. How would he fix a bad day, what does a good day look like for him. If he speaks in public, how does he approach it? Funny, serious, is there any preparation, freestyle. Here are some steps to help you (I do them to create my alter ego)

Choose your avatar: how your alter ego appears. Give a different name, change appearance, hairstyle, makeup, clothes.

Values ​​and core identity. Think about their story. What is important to them. Where do they want to go in life. What they are not as interested in. Preferences, strengths, what motivates them. What has been their story so far. Maybe they have always been successful, have good memories. Very good athlete, A+ student, etc.

The When. When to bring out the alter ego. At university, at work, in meetings or every day. For this part here are some methods that can help you bring out your alter ego:

"HOT ME METHOD"

- "What would a hot me do?"

- don't idolize your alter ego, it's not better than you.

- If necessary, the alter ego can have a set time and date (turn it off after the necessary time has passed)

- Practice:

- How does the sexy version of yourself walk, talk, and dress?

- Values? Habits? similar to the "steps"

- what bold moves have you been wanting to try? - This method is not just about appearance, it is more about changing your mindset and actions

- Implementing habits, developing skills and intelligence, being able to speak with confidence

- NOT a subliminal that maximizes appearance, NOT forcing parts you feel uncomfortable with (wearing a crop top, pleasing people, etc.)

"BUILD YOUR SELF-CONCEPT"

- Self-Concept (SC) = how we see ourselves (REALLY believe about ourselves, not what we say)

- "I am blessed/cursed", "My opinions matter/don't matter to people", "I am lucky/unlucky", etc.

- Alter ego can help expand what you think you deserve/what is normal for you

- Consciousness = perception = reality

- Believe that you HAVE THE POWER to change, you have the power to change your personal reality

Now let's talk about my alter ego! Her name is soo-ah which is a Korean name that means Beautiful Oceans. Why did I choose this name? Because my first name also means ocean so I thought it was the perfect name for my alter ego.

As for my alter ego, she is introverted but has a group of lovely friends, she is funny and laughs a lot, she has a mysterious aura, she does her dream job, she travels and has a lot of hobbies, she takes care of herself, she heals her trauma, has a healthy relationship, she reads a lot, she does the best for herself…

I made a playlist of music that reminds me of her that I will listen to every morning to help me feel like her. I prefer high vibration music to stay motivated because the songs of the weeknd make me less energetic I find.

To visualize what my alter ego could look like, I used the everskies app and created a simple vision board

That's all! On Monday when I go to work I'm going to give way to my alter ego and see how things evolve! I hope this helps you!

...your best today.

even if it was the bare minimum, it was probably the best that you could have done today. and that's okay.

maybe tomorrow, you can do a bit more. or not. however much it is, do it well.

your best doesn't always have to be 'the absolute best'. go easy on yourself ✨

Become Your Best Version Before 2025 - Day 26

Personal Development Tools and Resources

Yesterday we talked about creating accountability plans, and today I want to build on that momentum by sharing some amazing tools and resources that have genuinely transformed my personal growth journey.

Think about the last time you scrolled through your phone, looking at all those self-improvement apps you downloaded but never really used. We've all been there! Today, I want to share what's actually worked for me.

The Simple Tools That Work Wonders

First up, journaling! But wait, before you roll your eyes, hear me out. I'm not talking about writing novels every morning. Sometimes it's just a quick brain dump while having coffee, or a few grateful thoughts before bed. (Quick tip: if you're new to journaling and self-reflection, you might want to check out my free Self-Worth Mini Workbook, it's got some really gentle prompts to get you started!)

Digital tools have been game-changers too. I absolutely love:

Notion for organizing my entire life (seriously, it's like having a second brain)

Insight Timer for meditation (the free version is amazing!)

Goodnotes for digital journaling.

Creating Your Sacred Space

Something that's really helped me is creating a dedicated space for personal development. It doesn't have to be fancy, mine's just a cozy corner with:

A comfortable cushion

My favorite journal and pens

A small plant (because why not?)

A few inspiring books

Speaking of books, these have been life-changing:

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear

"The Mountain Is You" by Brianna Wiest

"You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero

View the full list here

Making It Work For You

The key is finding what naturally fits into your life. Maybe you:

Start with just 5 minutes of morning reflection

Use your commute time for personal development podcasts

Set up a simple evening routine for goal review

(By the way, if you're ready to dive deeper into creating sustainable personal growth practices, my Inner Glow Bundle has some amazing tools for this, but let's focus on getting those basics down first!)

The Power of Community

Never underestimate the power of connecting with others on the same journey. Some great ways to do this:

Join online communities (like this one!)

Find an accountability partner

Share your journey on social media

Participate in group challenges

Remember This, the most powerful tools are often the simplest ones. Don't get caught up in thinking you need the fanciest apps or most expensive programs. Start with what you have, where you are.

What's one tool or practice you're excited to try? Let me know in the comments below! I love hearing about your journeys and learning from your experiences too!

See you tomorrow for Day 27!

The importance of vitamin D in Haircare

༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻ ༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻ ༺♡༻

Our hair is thinning, loosing it's volume and not growing as it used to before. You have taken hair-supplements already and it doesn't seem to improve?

Topical treatments are great, but oftentimes hair health is impacted from the inside.

Therefore:

Vitamin D(3) is slept on as a nutritional supplement to prevent hair loss and get healthier hair.

Research on Vitamin D(3) :

Vitamin D(3) is  involved in various signalling pathways within hair follicles, particularly in the growth phase of the hair cycle

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with several types of hair loss

People with hair loss are more likely to have low vitamin D levels in their blood

Impacts of a Vitamin D deficiency

Decreased hair volume

Impede the hair follicles growth phase

Contribute to hair thinning

How to improve vitamin D levels

First, you should go to the doctor and get your blood checked for Vitamin D deficiency.

Because then you'll get the proper dosage for you.

If your deficiency is not as bad you can buy those supplement from the drugstore.

You have to eat something fatty before you take the supplement for the best results.

Important: Don't go for the highest Vitamin D supplement, due to Vitamin D toxicity. Start with a lower dosage if you're not deficient

Another way to incorporate more Vitamin D is through your diet.

Foods that contain Vitamin D

Non Plant based:

Fatty fish -> ex. Salmon; Mackerel; Sardines

Egg yolks

Beef liver

Milk

Yogurt

Plant based:

Fortified plant-based foods: ex. vegan milk; margarine & tofu

Mushrooms: -> esp. those exposed to UV light

Fruits and vegetables: -> Smaller amount ex:

-> Kale, spinach, and collard greens

->Okra, sweet potatoes, broccoli

->Oranges, bananas, kiwis, papayas

Daily reminder 🤍

You are worthy of receiving love. Just like that. For who you are right now at this very moment. You have been worth being loved every step, every minute of your life and you always will be. Let that sink in.

It is safe to give love. You will not run out of it for giving it out. On the contrary, your capacity to hold love in your heart grows as you give love. You won’t run out. I promise.

It is the most natural thing to give, receive and want love. Please don’t deprive yourself of that beautiful gift.

[missdollcouture]

ACHIEVE TOTAL SELF LOVE *･῾ ᵎ⌇ ⁺

Completely achieving self-love can be challenging in some ways, especially due to todays beauty standards and other things that alter the way you perceive yourself. You are not going to be confident ALL the time, no one is, but this is to help you be confident and love your self 98% of the time

BE OK WITH MAKINNG MISTAKES

Allowing yourself to make mistakes is a huge part of human development. At a young age we are all told "nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistakes" but the older we get, the more pressure we feel to not fail. Make mistakes so you can learn and grow from them! You’re constantly changing and growing from who you once were into who you are today and who you will be one day.

OTHERS OPINIONS DON'T MATTER

Don’t worry about what society thinks or expects of you. You can’t make everyone happy, so this is a waste of time and will only slow you down on your journey to being the best you.

STOP COMPARING

Comparing ourselves to others is natural. But it can be dangerous. There’s just no point in comparing yourself to anyone else on the planet because there’s only one you. Rather, focus on yourself and your journey.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST

Although there’s a time and a place for this, it shouldn’t’ be a habit that costs you your mental or emotional well-being.

Find the time to decompress. Without decompressing and recharging you can put serious strain on yourself. Whether it’s spending the day in bed or outdoors in nature, find what helps you decompress and dedicate time to this.

SPEAK KINDLY TO YOURSELF

The world is full of harsh words and critique — don’t add yours to the mix. Speak kindly to yourself, and don’t call yourself mean things. Celebrate yourself. You’ve come so far and grown so much. Don’t forget to celebrate yourself, and not only on your birthday!

LET GO OF TOXIC PEOPLE

Not everybody takes responsibility for the energy they put out into the world. If there’s someone who is bringing toxicity into your life and they won’t take responsibility for it, that might mean you need to step away from them. Don’t be afraid to do this. It’s liberating and important, even though it may be painful.

Remember: Protect your energy. It’s not rude or wrong to remove yourself from situations or the company of people who are draining you.

REALIZING YOU’RE SURROUNDED BY NEGATIVE ENERGY

Hi girls! Often times, we feel certain ways and we can’t really explain it, but something just feels off. In my opinion, in those moments, it is your intuition trying to let you know that you’re surrounding yourself with negative energy. Here are some reasons why your energy might not be as optimal as you’d want it to be.

1. THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU HAVE ILL-INTENTIONS

Girls, if I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: BE AWARE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH. It is SO important to recognize when someone doesn’t have your best interests at heart. If you keep them around, all they’ll do is drag you down to there level.

2. YOU KNOW THAT YOU AREN’T LIVING YOUR LIFE THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE LIVED

Whether it be with life goals, education or personal issues, if you feel like something is internally off, it most likely is. Take some time to reflect on who you are and what you ultimately want for yourself. Create a life that is the most fulfilling to YOU, not to anyone else.

3. COMPARAISON; THE THIEF OF JOY

If you are someone who is constantly on social media and following people living your “dream life”, it’s no shock that your energy feels off. Envy and jealousy can bring your energy from 100 to 0 real quick. Instead of looking at others and thinking about how you want what they have, think about what you can do to achieve what you desire.

so much love,

a girl unfiltered 💋

⋆˚✿˖° 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 ⋆˚✿˖°

🍵 If you find yourself lost in the noise of everyone else’s opinions, it’s time to tune back into your own voice. Give yourself permission to follow your instincts and desires. Your intuition knows the way to your best self.

🍵 Remember, your journey isn’t a race. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a victory. Celebrate the progress you make every day, whether it’s sticking to a new habit, learning something new, or just taking the time to reflect and rest.

🍵 Ever feel the pressure to have it all figured out? Let that go. It’s okay not to have all the answers. Embrace the questions, the unknowns, and the possibilities they bring. This is where growth happens, in the space between where you are and where you want to be.

🍵 Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s necessary. In a world that’s always asking for more, prioritize moments of solitude and self-care. These moments of quiet are where you’ll find strength and clarity. It’s not about isolating yourself but about replenishing your spirit to engage with the world more fully.

🍵 The path to becoming your best self is paved with challenges, but remember, it’s in overcoming these obstacles that you find your true strength. Don’t shy away from difficulties; face them with courage and resilience. Each challenge is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become more of who you are meant to be.

🍵 So, if you’re standing at a crossroads, unsure of which way to go, take a deep breath. Trust that whichever path you choose, it will lead you closer to your best self. It’s not about making the perfect choice but about learning and growing from each decision you make.

🍵 Embrace the beauty of your own journey. While it’s easy to look at others and wish for their success, remember that your path is unique. There’s beauty in your struggles, triumphs, and everything in between. Your story is uniquely yours, and that’s what makes it powerful.

🍵 Finally, this is your sign to start believing in yourself more fiercely than ever before. You have everything you need within you to become your best self. It’s about unleashing your potential, one day at a time, and never giving up on the person you are becoming.

Faalgun, already stressed beyond belief being the captain of four clusterfucks: Alright, he's probably having another panic attack, I gotta play it cool. Does he need space? Someone to talk to? He asked for some time alone, but I shouldn't leave him alone here in the city, that would be irresponsible. Damnit all, though, I have to track down the rest of my fucking crew! Wow, I hope they aren't in a casino, that would be really bad for my healing gambling addiction...

just a reminder...

...that your best today doesn't define your calibre in life.

maybe you did very well. maybe you didn't. either way, one day cannot define your capabilities.

you're amazing everyday because you do your best everyday, no matter what that 'best' looks like. you're the best ✨
