#SELF-LOVE MOVEMENT

Hello all! I’ve been talking a lot on my blog about self-love and how important it is! The thing is no one taught us about it and how important it was. In fact from a young age most of us were spoon-fed that anything other than our natural selves was beautiful. Many of us suffer from low self-esteem or depression. And it isn’t an easy road and it’s not going to cure all our problems in one night, but making the attempt to love ourselves is a huge step. 

I thought it would be really important to start a self-love trend. You might be wondering what are the ways one can love their selves. Here they are:

practice mindfulness meditation or guided meditation. there are several meditations out there that help release negative thoughts and emotions. thehonestguys is one of my favorite youtube channels

eat healthy! buy some fresh fruits and veggies. try snacking on healthier products like almonds.

clean out your room or apartment! clean out your closet. get rid of things you dont need.

surround yourself with people who love you and support you. cut out friends who makes you feel worthless and small. 

try and quiet the inner critic inside of you. write down things you like about yourself. 

accept your emotions for what they are. it’s impossible to be happy and positive all the time. accept and embrace any anger, resentment, tension, bitterness but keep in mind everything is temporary and these feelings dont own you.

do a facial, take a warm bubble bath, get your nails done, do a coconut hair mask, put castor oil to make your eyelashes longer, start going to the gym. self-care is so important!

go for long walks, watch a really good movie, buy yourself the tastiest brand of tea, start reading books again. do healthy, things that make you incredibly happy in your own company

The list goes on! Start working towards your self-love goal. It could really change your life. 

Take a picture/video or text of things you did each day for self-love. It could a picture of a bubble bath with rose petals, a glimpse of your journal where you write your positive thoughts, a before/after picture of your room/apartment after you clean it, a picture of a healthy meal you’ve been eating, or an step by step process to your meditation/workout routine!

It’s Ya Girl’s College Scholarship Masterpost

Hello internet civilians! As some of you may or may not know, my name is Dana and I am a high school senior that is ALWAYS on the prowl for trying to get to college for as cheap as possible. I’ve come across 1000′s of scholarships that I simply don’t qualify for, so I thought “hey, why not share these with random people on the internet that don’t know where to start?” You asked the question and only answers you shall receive.

Please remember to credit me for this masterpost because I spent a lot of time and energy on it :)

PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT A SCHOLARSHIP IS WORTHLESS IF YOU DO NOT APPLY FOR IT. 

SO DO NOT JUST SAVE THIS POST IN YOUR DRAFTS AND NEVER USE IT. ACTUALLY WRITE AN ESSAY OR FOUR
