More Ways You Found Your Style?

More ways you found your style?

I get my hair inspiration from HairbyFlisan. I wanted a really specific blonde color with a Scandinavian hairline, a seamless blend, and a custom row of extensions to make my hair look thicker. I didn’t want platinum or anything harsh; I wanted a gentle shift towards softness and an effortless blonde that would match my skin tone.

I usually do a matching French manicure and pedicure. I start with intensive nail preparation and make sure that my cuticles are removed and my natural nails have been prepped and prepared nicely. What I want is an elongated nail bed, a hidden natural nail free edge, gently rounded nails, a shorter smile line, a double layer of clear gel topcoat, and a soft pink base with a classic white smile line.

I tan, but I never, ever use tanning beds. I spray tan, and that’s enough for me. I like a neutral tan, not too dark or not too light; I like a full coverage and clean look, and the tan I use has to work for my style. I actually go to a bridal spray tan specialist for this; she’s not too expensive, and she’s very talented. She knows how to work with an olive undertone, and I love the way she’s able to blend the product into my skin.

My teeth were a major investment for me. I got a job at a dental office when I was 18, and over the past four years, I’ve been on a whole journey. I had braces for two years and had my wisdom teeth extracted; then I did professional Zoom whitening to get my teeth to the even white color I wanted, and I finished up with composite bonding and gum contouring. It was an ordeal to get where I am, and maintaining my smile is of the utmost importance to me now.

I apply my makeup with a lighter hand now. It’s easy for me to go overboard, and I’ve found that I look my best with cleaner looks. Learning how to do my face and blend my makeup, following bridal makeup artists and makeup artists in my favorite cities to find looks that I liked and could learn to do, practicing daily, and finding quality products in the right shades and with the right undertones were major parts of finally figuring out how to get my makeup to look the way I wanted it to.

Universe, please keep me soft, but hard to fool. Surround me with energy that pours back into me. Expose what’s not real. Elevate what is. And when I forget who I am, bring me home.

Say it with me: I owe it to myself to see how good it can get.

MIND GAMES ARE SO BORING! i am double texting! triple texting! i am texting you first! this reminded me of you! this sunset is beautiful but not in the way you are! someone walked by wearing your scent + it feels like the universe did this on purpose so i can be reminded of what it feels like to be touched by you! open your heart to me so i can live there! build a home in me and i will keep you safe!

when I ask for signs I get them. I have a running list of signs I asked for and subsequently received within 24-48h. I have a running album called angel numbers and on a daily basis see 5-7 angel number combinations.

they really began to accelerate when I left my old apartment. It just goes to show how our living spaces affect our ability to truly receive guidance, some homes block your energy tremendously. some homes make you feel like everything is an uphill climb, and in others there is a peace and flow.

this blog will be renamed, most if not all posts archived & a fresh aesthetic implemented very soon.

✨all of my manifestations have a flow, and I am in it. I bless everything in my path. I bless everyone in my path✨
