Girl Tips - Tumblr Posts

What advice would you give to someone that's in university and just traying to star dating?

Dating is fun, but it should never compromise your sense of self or well-being. Above all, remember to enjoy it!

💞 Be Confident in Who You Are

Be authentic and true to yourself. It’s easy to feel pressured to impress, especially at uni and as a young woman in general. Now in my 30s, I can see this all the more clearly. But people are most attractive when they are comfortable with who they are.

💞 Take Your Time

There’s no rush. Take the time to get to know someone rather than jumping into something serious right away.

I wouldn't recommend the opposite either. Situationships and casual sex are terrible for women, especially women just figuring out their place in the world. Other than that, university is a time for personal growth, so it’s okay to explore and figure out what you value in a partner.

💞 Avoid Dating Apps (If Possible)

This is heavily dependent on your location and its demographics, but I recommend meeting potential partners in person via shared interests, student clubs, associations, sports, etc.

Dating apps suck because everyone feels there are countless better matches out there. People tend to be flaky and lose interest rapidly, which damages your self-esteem. Before you know it, you wasted a month chatting with someone who then ghosted you.

When you match with someone on a dating app, the goal should be for the other person to ask you out and go on a real date as soon as possible.

💞 Set Boundaries

It’s important for you to know your boundaries, not be afraid to communicate them and walk away when someone disrespects you. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect.

💞 Balance is Important

Make sure dating doesn't take priority over your studies or personal goals. I encourage you to keep a healthy balance between your academic life, social life, and dating life.

It's important to understand that your social life and dating life are two completely different things, though they sometimes intersect, for example your partner hanging out with your friends. Social life at uni is for networking, which will benefit you later in life.

💞 Be Open, But Don’t Settle

It's cool to be open to meeting different types of people, but you shouldn’t feel the need to settle for anything less than a relationship that makes you feel happy and valued. 💕

smelling like an angel!

here is everything i use and i promise you’ll be smelling and looking angelic! 🪽🌸🐇

🪽 my daily go to's are for sure, britney spears fantasy and the midnight fantasy for perfumes, they have that soft vanilla scent while also being sooo 2000s! on fancier days i use the casablanca lily perfume from byredo it’s my fave!

🪽 for my hair the tresemme shampoo and conditioner makes my hair smell so good for days im not kidding!! if you are feeling a bit fancier/expensive then i recommend the oribe gold lust shampoo and conditioner it’s also heavenly.

🪽 i also blowout my hair with the extra strength color wow spray orrrrr the oribe royal blowout spray and use curlers so it holds its shape, then i lock that it with the sexyhair shine/weather proof hairspray then oil/serum (kerestase exlir ultime) or the oribe split end seal! i like my hair to shiny, soft and bouncy like 90s butterfly cut with slightly fluffy bangs, sorta like a supamodel!

🪽 i use the tree hut hibiscus ylang ylang body scrub when i’m feeling pinkkk heaven and if im feeling fancy i use the ouai st. barts scrub and the elemis salt glow. i also am using the sticky dates body wash from lush rn and it’s like sooo vanilla i love it! (i'm literally always going to lush lol). oh! and the necessaire unscented bar soap is fabulous as well!

🪽 i use the pink dove deodorant im not sure what its called since ive gotten it so many times but i love the smell! for lotions i do a mix of a body shimmer from ionic london, or the soleil blanc shimmer from tom ford and the ouai st. barts creme which smells like a frosting vacation! i buy the i also use the sleepy dust powder from lush and basically cover my clothes, bed-sheets, inside of my shoes and body with that, go get it seriouslyyy! i also crush up glittery eyeshadow sometimes to mix in with the powder to leave things shiny and so when i offer some to guys to put on their gym clothes or whateverrrr they are slightly glittery and smell like me 😇😇 ‘swoon’

🪽 something i also like to do which is a little odd is that i like to very lightly spray tom ford cologne on my mattress and pillows because it smells like hotel to me!

🪽 always keep a spare mini perfume samples in your bag because you never know when you’ll need a touch up or if a friend need a quick spritz that way you both aren’t wearing the same perfume! 🤍

back to school glow up!

part one: physical enhancements (link to pt 2)

disclaimer, these are all just ideas & things i like to do for myself - u don't need any of this i just like being extra lmfao

◦buy cute new clothes (or find new ways to style clothes u already have!)

◦get a fresh haircut

◦go to the gym

◦get a signature perfume

◦do your nails

◦get a tan (use sunscreen tho ofc)

◦take a break from face makeup - give your skin a break!!

◦use lash serum

◦restock on makeup or buy new products - im making a post on my makeup recommendations soon <3

◦practice hairstyles (i highly recommend mastering heatless curls! they're sooo convenient + cute)

back to school glow up pt 2!

part two: non-physical things (link to pt 1)

here are some ideas for getting a mental back to school glow up/some ways to prepare.

◦make back to school playlists

◦journal any thoughts of anxiety about the new year. as someone with social anxiety, school can be very nerve-racking, but it helps to write down your fears instead of avoid them

◦finish your summer reading

◦set up a schedule/planner - it's always important to manage your time and stay on track, so starting a planner BEFORE school starts will push you in the right direction & motivate you to stay consistent

◦make a list of easy breakfast ideas to eat before school (helpful if you're on a time crunch in the morning)

◦organize your backpack - it's sooo fun being that girl at school who has EVERYTHING in her bag, trust me 😭

◦make a school emergency kit

◦watch back to school youtube videos - it sounds silly but watching school vlogs, highschool advice, and school grwm videos puts u in a good mindset!

◦have at least 5 go-to school outfits - not only will this ease your mind, but it is so exciting to think about what you'll wear @ school!

sometimes I wish I'd take my own advice, and not beat myself up over every little inconvenience and take a break

Yes and? Yes

you do not need to spend a bunch of money to become the girl of your (and everyone else's) dreams. what you need is to take a good look at your daily habits and understand that beautiful hair and skin come from clean eating habits and hydration; that a gorgeous body comes from adequate nutrition and physical effort; that confidence comes from a tranquil mind and decent sleep; that no person of importance neglects their hygiene or dwells in excessive behavior... it needs to start from a force within you, from intuitive adjustments. then, afterwards, you can buy the expensive moisturizer. as a treat, not a need.

BE ‘THAT GIRL’ : BACK TO SCHOOL

one. create a strong impression on the first day. first impression lasts. it helps you build a good relationship and image with your classmates or professors. but don’t try too hard, be natural.

two. be on time. sleep early and wake up early. go to school 30 minutes before it starts so that you won’t be stressing.

three. find friends. don’t just make friends, find them. befriend those people who have a good mindset and only surround you with good aura. but also return with the same energy. let them influence you in a good way.

four. stay out of drama. no matter how interesting it is. never let yourself be influenced by those.

five. always stay fresh. a clean look makes you look put together. bring your essentials on a mini pouch.

six. listen and enjoy. once you actually get an interest on the lesson, its fun to listen. analyze and understand and take down notes.

seven. do your hair, a fun hairstyle makes you feel more pretty and active, try to keep a simple yet classy look.

eight. be kind. no one likes a pretty face but a rude mouth. be polite and kind to anyone, but always make sure to set a boundary.

nine. have fun! the most important is for you to make this school year experience fun and memorable. enjoy and live in the moment.

GLOW-UP HABITS

one. when drying your face after wash, use a tissue for wiping or air dry. don’t use a towel.

two. same goes for your hair, use a towel but only squeeze your hair. do not rub harshly, it will cause frizziness or dryness.

three. workout atleast two to three times a week. besides staying fit, it helps your body to stay healthy and avoid being sick.

four. clean your phone, delete pictures and apps you don’t use. also social media cleanse.

five. sharpen your mind. read a psychology book or do a brain dump.

six. nails. have a nail maintenance.

seven. stay hydrated. have a water bottle beside you and drink.

eight. clean your area. like they say, a clean room gives a clean mind.

nine. take a break. it’s completely fine to take a break and relax, enjoy and have fun.

I love these. And OMG that last one.

Life tips for girls - Day One:

Get off your phone when you're with friends! What's wrong with you? Why are you texting friends when you have one right in front of you?? Give your friend your undivided attention. I bet he or she feels so sad knowing that his or her company isn't enough 🙄🙄 You have plenty of time to answer messages later!
