A Guide To Effortless Beauty

Makeup

It's been said that the "full beat" makeup trend of the late 2010s is no longer in style, and I agree. The makeup cycle has gone from #fullglam to #cleangirl in 5 years. Today we are talking about my favorite happy medium #soft glam.

Soft·Glam /so͞ft'glam/

"effortless, diffused, and almost ethereal—basically, a more polished but natural you."

Ladies, if you want to stand out among the crowd or even just feel like the best version of yourself, a soft beat is a way to go!

Rules of Thumb

Keep your brows shaped and filled in.

Practice makeup application daily until you find your happy medium with products. (I personally utilize concealer and setting powder for a no-makeup makeup-baked look)

Wear moderate lashes ( Soft glam usually looks best with lash extensions or moderately length mink lashes)

Utilize a brown lip line with your shade of nude lipstick and gloss to give that extra pop of effortless glam.

Eyeliner, eyeshadow, and blush are optional.

Skin Care

Skincare is the foundation of all things beauty. A daily skincare routine is essential to minimize and maintain blemishes. Soft glam is about a fresh face with a pop of "I KNOW YOU SEE ME"!

Rules of Thumb

I recommend committing to a twice-daily skincare routine both morning and evening.

Make sure to wake up early enough to wash your face and apply all the necessary products before beginning makeup application.

Plan weekly deep cleanse for the face ( I like to plan my mask for the evening so they can be set without rushing).

I suggest buying skin care products as needed and try not to overstimulate your face.

Hair

Hair can make or break a look. Imagine looking your best, but your hair is all over the place. It's an oxymoron. You should never shorthand your feminine routine by neglecting your hair. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, styling and maintaining your hair is always necessary when executing a soft glam look.

Rules of Thumb

Practice makes perfect; carve out time in your schedule to master simple styles such as curls and crimps.

Make sure your lace is always melted!

Natural hair beauties treat your hair with conditions and detangling as often as your hair type requires.

Create a mood board and set a goal to master each hairstyle.

Deep condition and silicone treat wigs in between each install.

Natural hair beauties master twist outs, edges and ponytails for a polished on-the-go look at all times.

It's never too late to re-invent yourself.

What does reinventing yourself mean?

Reinventing simply means identifying patterns, values, or activities that no longer serve you and changing them for better options. It can involve external characteristics, like job, hobbies, appearance, relationships, and location. True reinvention also happens inside, in how you think and behave. It will be different for everybody, which is what makes it so powerful.

Reasons to reinvent yourself

There are many reasons why you might find yourself craving self-reinvention. Ultimately, it’s a sign that you are seeking change in some area of your life. Here are some possible reasons why it could be time for you to start reinventing yourself. 

You’re stuck in a rut.  Being stuck means you feel like you’ve stagnated in some way. This feeling of languish could be because of a static relationship, tiresome job, or lack of general inspiration.

You’re seeking fulfillment out of life. Wanting to reinvent yourself could come from your desire for personal fulfillment and deeper meaning and purpose in your activities and how you spend your time. This need for self-improvement tends to happen when we acknowledge how much time we’ve wasted on things that don’t bring us joy or meaning.

You need a change. There doesn’t always have to be an exact reason why you crave self-reinvention. It could be that it is simply time for a seasonal shift to occur in your life. From a new haircut to breaking up with your toxic partner, change is a natural thing to desire.

5 steps for reinventing yourself

1. Start with self-understanding and self-awareness

One of the first steps you can take towards reinventing yourself is self-awareness. This means actively assessing your situation and what you would like to achieve. Contemplate your current position in life and what brought you to where you are now. Think about what you’d like to achieve in the next five years and where you would like to be in the future.

2. Define your core values

One really useful practice is defining your core values. It will be much easier to make positive changes if you know exactly what they look like and why you want them. Use these core values to create a personal vision statement that will orient you toward how you want to reinvent yourself.

3. Ask yourself what you want to change

Everybody wants something that they do not have. But chasing after what you don’t have is only worth it if you’ve deeply considered what it is you really want and why. Take a moment to yourself and ponder what is missing from your life. Where/who do you want to be, and what constructive changes can you make?

4.Be honest with yourself

Being honest with yourself can force you to deal with some hard truths that are uncomfortable to acknowledge. This makes it all the more important. Lying to yourself will only hold you back from personal development.

5. Surround yourself with the right people

The type of people that you surround yourself with has the power to either lift you up or bring you down. Make sure that the people around you are kind, honest, and want what is best for you in life. They will encourage you to do the right thing and keep you grounded. 

Reinventing yourself means discovering yourself

Reinventing yourself doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete overhaul of who you are as a person. It should be about recognizing your values and living your life as your authentic self.

Whether your goals involve a new career, moving to the countryside, or finally learning to love yourself, self-reinvention is a quintessential part of life. It is also a lifelong journey.

Until next time.

I am always taken to exciting events.

Any exquisite event I want, I go to.

Men are always happy to foot a bill and buy me tickets to anything I want.

Anything I want to do, men will agree to and happily execute, just to see me myself.

I am always granted excitement, charm, and excellent experiences from the men I allow into my life.

The men I allow in my life are happy to surprise me and do the absolute best they can to see me smile and gush.

I am a magnet to men who are adventurous, and are always around to take me to any high power and fancy occasion I want.

I always have the perfect wardrobe for each and every event as well, making me look absolutely stunning each time.

Anything I want, ever, as a date, is given to me by the men I have in my life, since they're all generous, exciting, and lovable romantics.

God bless and amen, thank you so much Universe for bestowing this upon me, and thank you for the gifts.

Money

I have been able to make thousands of dollars in passive income because I learned how to buy & trade stocks. I’ve been learning about stocks for a few years now and have gotten really good at trading. It even saved me one time when I was low on money I day traded to make some more without having to do anything. Here’s some stocks I selected that absolutely are paying off and I think will continue to significantly pay off in the next 10 years. Look at those gains. Just because I learned how to select good stocks. If you have any extra money I would say invest. I’m so serious. Don’t waste money On stupid stuff when that money can be used to make more money for your future.

more tips to become that girl?

From most important to least important, here’s a list of what you should be focusing on building: your identity, your beliefs and values, your behavior and mindset, your skills and capabilities, and your environment and friend groups. I think you should progress through this list in order, focusing on yourself first and then outside factors like the city you live in and your relationships.

Who is the next level me? Give her a name of her own and take your time creating your vision and your future.

What does she identify with? Find what she relates to.

How does she view herself? Slowly build her image up.

How do others view her? Choose how she presents herself and her views to her friends and to the world.

It’s important that you focus on slowly building your identity first instead of changing your environment, because while your environment does matter, you can't build yourself and your whole life around a time and place that will change regardless of whether you want it to or not. The focus should be on planning it all out.

You should be journaling at least a page every day and taking note of how you feel so you can look back and see what felt wrong or what felt right and choose how to carry on. Part of actively improving yourself and your situation is being able to look back and reference when things were bad so that you can be sure to do better and so you can learn from your mistakes.

Consider a digital detox once you've gathered your inspiration. it's healthy to step away from influencers and social media mavens, and in an era where we're constantly being influenced and advertised to, it's good to take some time away from IG to clear your mind and give yourself a completely fresh start.
