how to get into your wonyoungism era

🎀 what is wonyoungism?

The trend is named after the South Korean celebrity Jang Wonyoung. wonyoungism promotes a healthy lifestyle, with themes such as skin care, food, and exercise being central to the movement. exercises such as pilates, yoga, and mobility. healthy eating and dieting. mainly taking care of yourself. if you want to incorporate this aesthetic — the colours of this aesthetic is mainly pastel pink and white but you can find it in other colours

💌 how to embrace wonyoungism

🎀 prioritize your physical and mental health — prioritize your physical and mental health by adopting a balanced lifestyle that includes regular exercise, healthy eating habits, adequate sleep, and stress management strategies. make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, and don't be afraid to seek help from friends, family, or professionals when necessary. remember that self-care is critical for overall well-being and resilience when confronted with life's obstacles.

🎀 implement routines — having a routine for everything but having a routine in a few places is good to keep you on track and sets you up for days ahead examples of different routines are reset routines, self-care routines, morning routines, night routines, workout routines and skincare routine — examples of a good morning and night routine are below

morning routine

wake up early: set your alarm for the same time every morning, ideally early enough to give yourself plenty of time before beginning your day.

hydrate: begin your day with a glass of water to help your body rehydrate after a night's sleep.

stretch or exercise: to wake up your body and get your blood flowing, perform a short stretching routine or mild exercise.

breakfast: make and eat a healthy breakfast to nourish your body for the day ahead.

personal care: perform personal hygiene duties like showering, brushing your teeth, and getting dressed.

plan your day: spend a few minutes reviewing your schedule and prioritizing tasks for the day. this can help set the tone and keep you focused.

night routine

wind down: an hour or so before bedtime, begin relaxing activities such as reading, listening to soothing music, or practicing mindfulness or meditation.

unplug: reduce screen time and electronic device exposure at least 30 minutes before bedtime to help your brain prepare for sleep.

reflect: take a few minutes to reflect on your day

prepare for tomorrow: lay out your clothes for the next day, and make any other essential preparations to streamline your morning routine.

relaxation techniques: to assist your body and mind relax before sleeping, try deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation.

bedtime routine: set a consistent bedtime

🎀 take care of your skin — taking care of your skin is an important aspect of self-care and general health. here are some simple actions you may include in your skincare routine: research and determine your skin type and which products and habits will work best for you. there's no need for pricey products! In my experience, it's better to start small and not just waste your money on unnecessary skincare products — an example of a minimal skincare routine is below

cleanser

toner

serum (in my opinion this is optional for me though we all have different skin)

moisturizer

sunscreen

🎀 have an exercise regimen or a means to move your body every day — including daily movement in your routine is essential for sustaining overall health and well-being. just go for something that makes you feel good - I prefer walks and pilates. I advise you not to try and do too much; don't overwhelm yourself. It's better to do something you enjoy so you can keep up with it rather than just stop working out completely because the workout style you choose does not aid your body — so try out different workout styles and choose this can involve

walking

jogging

cycling

swimming

dance

yoga

strength training routines

🎀 have a balanced diet — a balanced diet is essential for good health and well-being. consuming a range of nutrient-dense meals such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and healthy fats supplies your body with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. a well-balanced diet aids digestion, boosts energy and improves mood and cognition. overall, eating a well-balanced diet can improve both physical and mental health, resulting in a superior quality of life.

🎀 implement habits that aid your goals into your days — incorporating habits that support your goals into your daily routine is an effective strategy to make progress and achieve success. by incorporating behaviours that directly contribute to your goals into your everyday life, you establish a strong foundation for success and personal growth.

you're doing good, keep going!!

don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself

don't just stay in motion, take ACTION!!

going back to read, old wonyougism guides when I forget that I'm supposed to be getting better >>>

everyone talks about how you should be drinking 2L of water every day and all its benefits, but no one talks about having to wake up at least 10 times in the dead of night to pee, so you don't wet the bed

How to Study like Elle Woods!

Get inspired! We all know once Elle gets motivated or inspired she is driven, hardworking, and ambitious to get what she wants. Which then turned into discipline to keep going. So, if you’re ever tried and don’t want to study, do it tried. You need to have discipline to keep going!

2. Always be prepared! Before any big test, school year, class, always be prepared. Make sure you have all your stationery, books, tools before you start anything. Before a test ALWAYS study beforehand and pay attention in class for the correct understanding. Ask questions so you know if you do have a quiz, exam, or essay, that you are ready and understand.

3. Provide yourself with cute stationery! Getting cute stationery items will make learning more fun! Invest in pom pom pens, cute notebooks, a smooth writing pencil, or just anything that interests you.

4. Have your role models!

If you are ever doubting yourself or don’t have any discipline. It’s always great to have your fair share of role models. Role models can help us feel inspired, motivated, driven, and they are just great people overall to look up to. Elle Woods is a great example of a role model. She is smart, dedicated, hardworking, passionate, and enjoys her life. Make sure that your role models don’t influence you into bad things. Nobody wants to live a dreadful life knowing they wasted time doing what their “role model” did.

5. Trust yourself! A big trait about Elle that people might not notice is, that she trusts herself. She trusts herself that she will do wants right. She trusts herself that she will make it into Harvard Law School. Overall, trusts that whatever she does even, in doubt will be the best decision.

How to Become an It Girl

“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.” - Audrey Hepburn

Manners and Body Language! Legs are together, arms close to body, head high. Of course, I can’t forget good posture. No matter your body language, always make sure your posture is good. Manners are just as equally important. A simple, excuse me, please, thank you, pardon me, makes such a big difference!

Signature everything! Signature jewelry, perfume, color, bag, hairstyle, EVERYTHING you can think of. Make your own iconic look. When people see you, they know that you own that look. Everything, about it says ME!

Take care of your health and focus on you! Health is wealth!! Take care of your body, mind, soul, heart, skin, hair, nails, teeth, etc. Focusing on yourself will change your life, I PROMISE. I recommend you watch self development videos/youtubers. Just like, TheWizardLiz, Tam Kaur, Simonesquared, Persephonesmind, etc.

4. Look presentable/make a strong first impression! I will never forget when Song Jia first walked in on the island in Singles Inferno. Her hair was done, nails, outfit looked fresh, makeup was done. Not to mention, she walked in with confidence, a smile, good posture and stayed to herself. She carried herself so well. She greeted everyone with a beautiful smile and graceful bow.

“Happy girls are the prettiest” - Audrey Hepburn

5. Stay true to yourself! Treat yourself with love. If you’re looking for someone to feel your void, fill it yourself. Learn to love everything about you, even your imperfections. Appreciate the little things in life, like dancing in your room alone, your grwms, picking out your outfit, the trees, sky, laying in your bed, living life. Celebrate your life everyday.

Level Up For 2024!

“Be confident trust yourself and never let anyone put you down, if they put you down it’s because they’re jealous.” - Adriana Lima

Set goals for yourself! It could be daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals. I recommend you set goals for your career, health, knowledge, mindset, or just what you want. There is only one rule with setting goals though. Whatever you decide, make it happen.

2. Stop lying to yourself! “Oh, I’ll do it tomorrow.” I don’t remember you doing it that day though. So, why did you lie? You need to be able to trust and take care of yourself. Lying to yourself is not helping with either of those. Of course if your schedule got busy and you couldn’t do it, thats fine. On the other hand, when you say or promise yourself you’ll do it and then don’t. That’s disrespectful to yourself.

3. Prioritizing your peace! Take time out of your day to meditate, read, dance to your favorite songs, go on solo dates. Not only is this prioritizing your peace and you but also your happiness. Once I started to prioritize my peace I found true happiness. This is why I stand by prioritizing your peace a lot. It’s something you won’t regret. So, take time for yourself EVERYDAY!

4. Romanticize your life! Try to live in the moment as much as possible. Even, do your favorite things. Romanticizing your life doesn’t mean you have to have money and buy a bunch of things. It simply means to find joy, love, peace in your surroundings. Life is so beautiful when you realize the blessings you have. For example leafs falling in fall, dancing to childhood songs, breathing in cold winter air, picking out a cute outfit, the first snow fall, etc.

5. 2024 is the year for more! Reach for bigger achievements, more money, working out more, doing more self care, more self love, more knowledge, the list goes on. Let’s make 2024 a great year and start by getting in the habit of those things already!

“I sent myself love letters…” - Cher Horowitz

Tips for improving vocabulary and being a good conversationalist?

I dislike that I'm so shy and find it difficult to speak with others, especially if it's about topics I'm not to familiar with.

Thank you 😊

Becoming A Better Conversationalist!

Why do I get this way? Are you shy because you're scared of being judged? Is it because you may be insecure? What is the main problem(s) for being shy when speaking with others? Journal and take time to fully understand your thoughts and feelings. I know journaling sounds cliche, but it truly will help. Once you discover the problem(s) then try to work on it.

2. Everyone is to focused on THEMSELVES! You being afraid of being judged is probably happening to another person in the room too. Nobody cares about that small little mistake you made. Sure, they may think about it for 5 or 10 seconds. After that it’s back to themselves.

3. Understand life is about LEARNING! You had to learn your first steps, first words, your personal style, etc. It is perfectly fine if you don’t know anything about a certain topic. Instead of feeling embarrassed or shy take it as an opportunity to learn about it. Ask the person about it, I’m sure they would love to explain it.

4. Asking questions that the person is passionate about! If you like a certain topic a lot ask them about it. People who are passionate about a topic LOVE to talk about it. I have never met one person who is passionate about a topic and doesn’t start ranting away. This is one of the easiest way to have a conversation.

5. Matching other’s energy! I’m not saying to completely change yourself. On the other hand, matching a little of someone’s energy is helpful to know. Read and observe whoever and then match their energy. Humans LOVE others like them. It also helps the person become a lot more comfortable around you. Leading, to you and the person becoming closer.

I honestly could give more tips and advice so let me know if you guys want a part two 🤭

As for improving and expanding vocabulary, I will post a separate blog for that!

How to Genuinely Enjoy Being Alone!

(none of these photos are mine)

“You can’t be afraid of what people are gonna say, because you’re never going to make everyone happy.” - Selena Gomez

Be nice to yourself! Nobody likes being around someone rude. Therefore, you should be kind to yourself, treat yourself well, compliment yourself, etc. Plus, you can’t enjoy hanging out with yourself if you’re talking badly about yourself!

2. Romanticizing being with yourself! Buy yourself flowers, have a picnic, make a fort, watch a movie, etc. Think of yourself as a main character spending alone time. Maybe your character journals/draws in their bed. Maybe they read outside and enjoy nature! Whatever it is, romanticize your WHOLE life.

3. Stop planning, start acting! You’re gonna have to get out of your comfort zone for this one. Start to do little solo dates WHENEVER! If you have free time, spend it with yourself. A lot of people plan and never do it. So, just start hanging out with yourself at random times without planning. Like right now you could make yourself a little drink and watch a movie. That is if you have time, of course!

4. Go on solo dates!! Solo dates are one of the best things to do for enjoying alone time. You don’t even need to go out anywhere if you don’t want to. Which makes them also super easy to do. All you need to do is pick a fun activity you love and enjoy. Then, make a little setup wherever and lastly enjoy! As for solo dates being AMAZING they really help with lonelinesses. It does take time, but doing something you love with yourself is so beautiful. The whole concept of a solo date is mind blowing and breathtaking. I will always recommend to go on solo dates. They’re life changing, and I say this from experience.

5. Trust, never lie, and take care of yourself! Trusting yourself, never lying to yourself, and taking care of yourself. You see how these three things all include you? Well, you need to commit to these things….for yourself. It’s all for you and your well-being!! Now think about it this way, should you trust, tell the truth, and take care of someone you love? Yes, you should! So, be there for yourself and you will find peace in being alone.

“I’m smart, I’m capable, I’m a fast learner, and resourceful.” - Georgia Miller

I love you sm dolls! Remember to take care of yourself and stay pretty 🎀

xoxo, Arielle 💋

GROWTH MINDSET VS FIXED MINDSET

The Growth Mindset term was coined by American psychologist Carol Dweck . It is the belief that talent, intelligence and abilities can be cultivated through efforts whereas the Fixed mindset is the total opposite of Growth Mindset. Fixed Mindset is the belief that talent, intelligence and abilities are Fixed and cannot be changed.

A person with Growth Mindset sees efforts as a good thing and an opportunity to improve themselves whereas a person with a Fixed mindset will see hardwork as a bad thing . For example: Let's say Aria is bad at maths , she feels that math isn't her forte so she doesn't even try. She feels that she isn't intelligent enough. She believes that intelligence and math skills are Fixed. Aria has a Fixed mindset. Her mindset limits her. She will never improve or get good grades in maths with that mindset. Now let's say there is another girl Ariel , she believes that she can improve her maths by practice. She believes that if she needs to put effort to improve her math skills , it's not a bad thing and it doesn't mean that she is " dumb " . Ariel has a growth mindset. Growth Mindset is essential for success in any kind of field.

A person with Growth Mindset solve problems & persist despite obstacles. Neuroscientists believe Growth Mindset. They confirm that the brain grows like any other muscle in the body with training . A person with Growth Mindset believes we are in control of our abilities whereas a person with fixed Mindset believes that we aren't in control of our abilities. A person with Growth Mindset are focused on the process of getting better . They appreciate feedback and constructive criticism and use it to improve themselves whereas a person with fixed Mindset don't appreciate constructive criticism , they get defensive and take it personally.

Fixed mindset Growth Mindset

I don't know how ➔ I can learn !

I don't like challenges ➔ Overcoming challenges helps me to grow !

I give up ➔ I can't succeed if I don't try / I will use a different strategy !

It's too hard➔ With more practice, it will get easier.

I can't do this ➔ I can do anything I put my mind to !

Plan A didn't work ➔ There is always Plan B

I failed and I embarrassed myself ➔I'm proud that I tried and I will try again !

Everyone is better at it than me ➔ I can learn from them !

Questions a person ask with Growth Mindset What can I learn from this ?

what support can I reach out to ?

How will I prepare myself to learn today ?

What will I do to challenge myself today ?

How do I learn ?

Weekend reset ✩°｡⋆⸜ 🎧

• Full skincare routine. Face lift massager, pumpkin seed oil, aloe vera mist, retinol eye masks, rose face mask. <333 🌸🪷

• Energy cleansing music. I always enjoy singing bowls and cleansing music to rid me of the week’s stress. (Singing bowls are great, but Sade and Jhené Aiko basically do the same thing too)

• Swimming. Personally, I find water very cleansing and rejuvenating. You can also take a long bath/shower, and fully visualize yourself being cleansed. 🏊‍♀️

• Lots of greens and nutrients + protein. Eating good food makes me feel good, simple as that. I am able to really enjoy and appreciate my food on weekends, which I love. I get to make all of my favourite little treats and nice big meals, love it. 🙏🙏🙏

• Clean room = full declutter session. I can’t stand having a messy room (yet I do, and I usually don’t do anything about it for the whole week). So anywayyyy the weekend is great because I can make sure everything is organized and clean + I feel so good when I declutter.

• Deep meditation and mindfulness exercises. Put on a guided meditation or some simple meditation music and clear your mind. Breathe. It may seem small, but this is a huge act of self love! Taking time out of your busy day to sit and breathe with yourself, amazing. 🧘‍♀️

• Read/write. Writing is an excellent creative outlet. You can let go of all your worries and stresses on paper (love my journal). Or you can write about all the amazing things in your life that make you happy! (All I write about honestly, I can’t help that I love my life so much!)

• Deep stretch and good workout. Your body will thank you for stretching out all your knots and tight muscles. Long workout sessions where you can focus on yourself are the besttttt 💪🤞🏋️‍♀️

self-care morning🌺

Strategies I use to…

Reconnect with myself˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

Hiiii, here is a list of some things I do in order to reconnect with myself!

When I feel down, overwhelmed, mindless, or just not like my usual self, these activities are my saviours.

• Physical activity!!! - You know I had to put this one first, girl. Strength training, stretching, swimming, running, walking, dancing, playing sports, etc. Physical activity makes me feel amazing and gives me a total confidence boost, I’m just in my element.

• Meditation - Deep breathing, relaxing music, clear mind, I love it! I feel a deep sense of connection with myself and the universe when meditating. It’s also just a great reset if you’re in a negative mood, I feel totally cleansed afterwards.

• Pampering!!! - face massage, gua sha, long hot bath/shower, full body massage, cute treat/drink, ice roller, positive affirmations, comfy clothes, favourite movie, and so on.

• Get creative - Getting creative is a good way to express and connect with yourself. Doing something artsy always reminds me of when I was a kid, and writing is a great outlet for my creativity.

Drawing, writing, sculpting, painting, colouring, knitting, crocheting, etc.

• Journaling - I love journaling so much. It’s a good way to check-in with yourself, learn about yourself, and release your emotions. I feel a lot more in tune with myself afterwards.

I’ll write about : Things I am grateful for, my dreams and desires, goals I’m working towards, my favourite things about myself, my feelings, etc.

• Expressing myself - Often, the reason for me feeling disconnected with myself is because I’ve hidden or ignored my true feelings/thoughts/self. I mean obviously masking yourself makes you feel disconnected with yourself…

My strategy is to openly express myself confidently. I share my feelings and opinions, and I don’t try to hide who I am. I don’t care what people think of me, I will never be ashamed or embarrassed of my authentic self.
