Every chic woman knows that a captivating day starts the night before. This routine is all about luxurious self-care – because waking up as the most poised, radiant version of yourself is a lifestyle. Ready to transform your evening into an elegant ritual? Let’s step into your new, elevated bedtime routine. 🛌🌸
Create an Atmosphere: Begin by setting a serene mood. Dim the lights, light a sophisticated candle (think notes of sandalwood or bergamot), and play a calming jazz playlist. This is your time to unwind and transition into a world of serenity. 🕯️🎶
Sophisticated Cleansing: Start with a cleansing oil to melt away makeup and daily grime. Rinse it off, then follow with a gentle, hydrating cleanser. This double cleanse is like a reset button, leaving your skin ready for its nighttime restoration. 💧🤍
The Hydration Layer: Pat on a luxurious serum – hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or a skin-renewing elixir. Then, apply a rich night cream. Imagine each layer as a silk robe for your skin, nurturing and hydrating it while you sleep. 🌿✨
Elevated Facial Massage: Use a jade roller or gua sha to massage in your serum. Not only is this relaxing, but it boosts circulation and helps define your natural contours. It’s a moment of quiet elegance – a way to remind yourself of your own grace. 💆♀️🌿
Silk Essentials: Swap your pillowcase for silk. It’s gentle on your skin and hair, reducing friction while you sleep. A chic woman wakes up with smooth skin and effortless hair – because beauty is in the details. 🌸🛏️
Hair Ritual: Before bed, brush your hair and apply a touch of light hair oil to the ends. Twist it into a low bun or a loose braid for natural waves. It’s a simple yet sophisticated way to keep your hair looking polished in the morning. 💁♀️💎
The Nightcap: Pour yourself a cup of herbal tea – chamomile, peppermint, or lavender. Sip slowly, feeling the warmth relax your body. A classy woman indulges in these small, soothing rituals to unwind and replenish. 🍵🌿
Outfit Planning: Select tomorrow's outfit with intention. Choose pieces that make you feel confident and chic, whether it’s a tailored blazer or that perfect little black dress. Lay everything out: jewelry, shoes, and bag – so your morning flows seamlessly. 👜🖤
Screen Detox: Put your phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode at least 30 minutes before bed. In this quiet time, you’re choosing presence and grace over endless scrolling. 🌙
Read Something Timeless: Replace your screen with a classic book or an inspiring magazine. This is how chic women nurture their minds and escape into elegance before drifting off. 📖🌹
Visualize Tomorrow: As you close your eyes, picture yourself waking up refreshed, glowing, and composed. See yourself moving through the day with grace and poise. You’re setting the stage for a day where everything aligns effortlessly. 🕊️💭
This is more than a nighttime routine; it’s a ritual of self-respect and refinement. Wake up to your fullest potential, feeling radiant, empowered, and impeccably put-together. Sweet dreams, darling – tomorrow, the world is your runway. 🌟🛌🌹
Inspired by how I'm currently trying to read again.
START SHORTER. Try to read something manageable for you, and it doesn’t have to even be a full novel. It could be an essay on something that interests you or any short stories you find. Get into the habit of reading at your own pace, till you feel ready to take on something bigger.
SET REALISTIC GOALS. Instead of wanting a goal like completing a book within a week, I would say 20 minutes of reading per day or at least 2 hours per week. You don’t have to track the time when you’re reading, but make mental notes of when you start reading and how long you read.
EXPLORE. You may even be tired of reading certain genres, and not notice it. While in a slump, I would explore different books and see what interests me the most. For example, if you love reading romance books, try some action ones instead(or vice versa.)
REREAD FAVES. The familiarity of some books can help us get back into the swing of reading. Every time I reread a book, I always pick up on new details that I didn’t notice before. Reread one of your favourite books and try to spot details that you didn’t spot before.
MAKE A LIST. Create a list of all the books that you want to read or reread. I feel like the process of seeing all the books you could, really encourages you to pick up that book.
TRY A DIFFERENT FORMAT. For a lot of us, reading paperback or hard copy is the way to go. However, when I’m in a slump, I feel like opting for a different format helps me to get back into reading. For example, a digital book, or an e-book. (or vice versa)
READ IN A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. I love LOVE, reading in an actual library. It is not for everyone, but a change of scenery can help. Some ideas can be at a park, a cafe, beaches and or a nature trail.
PAIR READING WITH ANOTHER ACTIVITY. Some examples are exercising, cooking, travelling/commuting or doing mindfulness activities. This is more for getting back into the habit, once you’ve got it again, I would say to focus only on reading.
can't believe you guys still listen to people who say you are lazy when it comes to manifesting. how tf can you put in work towards something that's already done? ughh in 2025 really????
this is your 2025.
cultivate a life where you give 100% and receive 100%. plan out your days the night before, tick off your to-do list as you complete it and then watch it happen. nothing happens without the work.

“STOP BEING A WHINY B*TCH METHOD.”
oh honey, you want the 100% easy method for manifesting? well, I’m about to rip you a new one and tell you exactly why you’re failing. get ready for a reality check you’re not gonna forget, sweetie. sit tight, because this is gonna be a ride.
1) stop thinking you’re special, you’re not. – do you really think you’re the only person in the universe who’s struggling? newsflash, honey: everyone’s got problems. everyone’s out here trying to manifest. but here you are, acting like the universe is gonna stop and give you a special pass. no, darling. assume it’s already yours or stay bitter and irrelevant forever. the universe doesn’t care about your insecurities or your sob story. get over yourself.
2) stop doubting, you’re not that interesting. – look, I get it, you think the universe owes you something because you’ve been “trying” so hard. guess what? no one cares. if you can’t believe it’s already yours, then you’re wasting your time. if you don’t assume it, then guess what? you’re just another whiny, ungrateful diva who can’t get out of her own way. this isn’t a question of “how” or “if”—it’s a question of whether you’re too pathetic to believe in yourself. make a decision. or stay stuck.
3) just assume it, you delusional fool. – so, let me get this straight: you can sit there, imagining your crush is in love with you, even though they haven’t texted you in weeks, but when it comes to assuming your dream body, you’re all “but that’s impossible!” oh, okay. you’re perfectly fine living in a delusion about a relationship that doesn’t even exist, but you can’t have the body you want because you don’t “believe” it? get the f*ck outta here. It’s all about your assumption. stop being a damn hypocrite. either you’re ready to assume your dream body or you can keep your sad, bitter little excuse of a life. the choice is yours.
4) stop waiting for a sign, you dumb little drama queen. – stop sitting around waiting for the universe to “show you” something, like you’re waiting for an invitation to the VIP section. there’s no invite, honey—you’re already in the damn club. if you can’t assume your success, then don’t expect anything to change. you’re just too busy crying and waiting for a damn miracle. newsflash: the universe doesn’t hand you sh*t. you have to demand it. you want your dream life? assume it’s already here.
5) stop over complicating it, you dumbass. – you’ve made manifesting so complicated that it’s honestly embarrassing. you’re not trying to build a spaceship; you’re trying to manifest something basic like a new job or some money. and you’re sitting here overthinking it like you’re some kind of genius? no. It’s simple, honey: assume it’s already yours. you’re either too stupid to get it or too scared to believe you deserve it. either way, figure it out.

The universe responds to WHO you are being. NOT what you want. This is because the language of the universe is ENERGY. And your energy is determined by your thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions. So you must change how you are thinking, feeling and acting in order to manifest.
please manifest “unrealistic” things.
please manifest “impossible” things.
please manifest “illogical” things.
please manifest things you want to manifest just because you want to.
please manifest no longer having anxiety.
please manifest no longer having depression.
please manifest that bad thing never happening.
please manifest because you want to manifest.
please manifest being happy because you deserve it.
