WINWIN at KENZO Paris Fashion Week

the thing that gave you anxiety attacks for 2 years straight will be resolved on a random Wednesday morning btw

can we stop doing this trope

whenever i feel bad i try to remember that time i travelled 4 hours to a different city with minimal pocket money, to apply for a job. after doing the written exams the recruiters pulled me aside to meet the operations manger and was told then and there i was hired. no interview. i ate at jollibee then went back home.

reminding myself that we hate discomfort, uncertainty, fear and vulnerability but we have to feel these things to truly live

i cannot pour from an empty cup, universe

but i hope whatever comes would be something that my heart and mind be ready for.

and please i hope i have shoes when it comes

2024 · what’s in [this is so fetch]

confidence! you’re the sh!t, period .. look in that mirror, say those affirmations and be THAT GIRL

happiness! let the world be mad on their own, don’t let anyone steal your joy. so many people are miserable, grumpy and rude for no reason, don’t be one of those people. if they can’t match your cheerful energy then they don’t need to be around you.

self love! no more letting opinions of others get us down or make us doubt ourselves. no more needing validation from anyone other than ourselves. anything negative said to you is pure jealousy. we’re going to love ourselves so much that no words or actions of others will affect us.

self care/maintenance ! we are taking better care of our hair, skin, nails and bodies. start a hair routine/schedule that consists of wash, deep condition, hair mask, trimming ends etc and how often you should do it depending on your type of hair. no more being lazy, take your makeup off before bed and do your skin routine in the morning and at night. let’s start a workout routine for a couple times a week; walking, gym, at home workouts, dancing, pilates, yoga etc. let’s pamper ourselves and get a mani/pedi regularly, at the nail salon or at home.

being productive! let’s wake up at a decent time each day and fill it with excitement and things worth while. let’s start the day with journaling and meditation, tidy our space, get work done, run our errands, make time to do something fun or something we enjoy, do or pick up a hobby, make sure we have a yummy meal everyday, take a relaxing bubble bath at night, read or catch up on some comfort things and then get to bed at a decent time.

knowing our worth! no more letting boys treat us any kind of way. we are goddesses, we are princesses and we should be treated as such. any one who treats us with disrespect or treats us less than we show them the door! no more third and fourth chances (i wouldn’t give a second but that’s up to you). have pride! set boundaries! no more putting up with bullshit! because guess what, what one person won’t do, someone else will! there’s someone out there that will treat you how you deserve to be treated so don’t put up with bums, we deserve top tier treatment.

romanticizing your life! let’s make every little thing in our lives magical and whimsical. let’s wear our prettiest clothes no matter where we go, let’s wear our cutest pajamas each night, use our best mugs for our coffee, light those candles, have dinner dates with ourselves, buy ourselves flowers, take ourselves on dates, eat breakfast outside, have picnics more often, explore museums and libraries, dress like Elle Woods for school, make sure all of our stationary is super cute, play music while cleaning up, get dolled up even to go grocery shopping. let’s always feel pretty and find the beauty in each day

finding your style, your aesthetic! find what’s comfortable for you, what type of clothes you feel confident and beautiful in. try out different styles and aesthetics until you nail it! create your dream wardrobe one piece at at time. what’s your color palette? how do you want to express yourself through fashion? clothes are so fun to wear and it brings out your creative side. need help or tips on how to find your aesthetic? let me know and i’ll direct you to my ‘how to find your aesthetic’ post

2024 · what’s out [ugh, as if!]

procrastinating! no more putting things off for a later time. the best time is now. whatever’s on your mind, your bucket list, your vision board, put in the work to get it done. don’t let fear or laziness stop you from living life and achieving things.

letting fear hold you back! if you want to go for that job, go for it! if you want to be friends with someone but scared to approach them, do it anyway! they probably want to be friends too and their too shy to say anything. if you like someone tell them! the worst that could happen is them not liking you back and that’s okay, you’ll live! if you want to change your style, aesthetic or hair, do it! life is too short to let fear get in the way. it’s normal to be scared but taking that chance is worth it! even if things don’t go completes as planned atleast you can say you tried and you won’t have to wonder ‘what if’

responding to negativity/allowing people to drain your energy! girl do not give them the satisfaction, IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE. haters and mean people want that reaction out of you, they crave it, so guess what, don’t give it to them. block them and move on with your day. hang up the phone if someone raises their voice at you. it will eat them alive knowing that what they said didn’t make you break a sweat! continue on with your positive, peaceful day. don’t match anyone’s negative energy, maintain your positive energy. remember : only YOU have control over your emotions.

getting in relationships just because you’re bored or lonely! learn to love your own company. learn how to be comfortable doing things on your own. it’s okay to go eat out alone, it’s okay to travel alone, it’s okay to go see a movie alone (stay safe and aware of your surroundings ofcourse), it’s okay to stay home on weekends and just relax. you are the best company you’ll ever have. spend time with yourself

being obsessed with numbers! 1) if you’re trying to start a blog, have a platform, you can’t obsess over your follow count! that will drive you insane and it will discourage you. just do what you love, manifest, make posts, hashtag, promote yourself on your other platforms and then let things be. 2) if you’re trying to lose weight or gain weight, do it the healthy way and plan a time to weigh yourself – for example : twice a month .. (don’t obsess over the number on the scale) just eat right, workout and you will get the results you want

COPYING! for the love of God let’s be original. no more stealing other people’s tweets, ideas, content etc. lets be creative and come up with our own thoughts and ways of doing things.

staying in unhealthy relationships and environments! even if you’re scared of being alone, even if you’re scared of change, you owe it to yourself to leave these situations. if he/she isn’t treating you right, leave. if that job isn’t good for your mental health, get a new one. if your family is toxic, distance yourself. don’t deal with unnecessary stress. don’t stay somewhere just because you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or just because it’s familiar. you have to put your feelings first and do what’s best for you. you will eventually be okay and your future self will thank you

Investing in yourself isn’t always fun. And it isn’t always lip filler, new clothes, and botox. It’s getting the dental work done to the tooth that’s causing you pain. It’s working through your digestive issues. It’s making sure you’re hydrated throughout the day. It’s an inside job first and foremost. It’s an act of self love. As you write your new year lists of all the external upgrades to your life .. new shoes, new handbag etc etc check in and see what are the inner upgrades needed first. It might look like going to see the hygenist with the money you would use for your sculpting facial, trading in your nail appointment for acupuncture. Only you will truly know the investments you’ve made that no one see’s, and these are the most important.

I think the best advice I ever got to stop myself from getting in my head over issues i was having with a partner/friend was “Are you deciding on ultimatums in your relationship without the other persons knowledge or consent? Are you having conversations in your head where the other party is a projection you supply the responses for? If so; you have done this person a huge disservice in not allowing them to answer on their own terms. You have done so much architecture around this problem in your mind that is impenetrable for anyone who was not there when it was being built.”

That shit really changed my life and honestly? I think made me a nicer person to be around.

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

i offer my heart to the universe.

i feel jealous and not the good kind. maybe somewhere within myself there is a void i have not yet seen or touched but i hope i see it soon. i want to sit with it and improve my life more instead of letting it consume me the same way it consumes others.

I am not the best person, someone will always, ALWAYS, be better than me. And that is fine. Still enjoy the world for what it is, and be grateful that the universe allowed YOU (ME, US) exist. i think that's some dope magic right there.

universe,

give me the patience to persist

give me the clarity to understand

give me the courage to leave

give me the guidance to begin again

give me the grace to let go

give me enough so i can give more

give me light so i can give love

Who are you choosing to be today? Not who are you..Not what is hurting you..Not what shit are you carrying with you this week..The most important question to ask yourself is who are you choosing to be?  Whatever shit you are carrying over from last week, take a deep breath, and just know that shift start with making a simple choice of focusing on who you want to be. If that anxious knot in your stomach is getting worse with each moment, remember who are you choosing to be? Someone who is patient and loving with yourself? Someone who focuses on your healing and makes time to figure out your needs? Someone who is kind and caring with yourself first and foremost? Without thinking it’s easy to slip into victim, judgment, anger, and while all these emotions at times may be valid there is only so much living in the lower vibrations we can do before it really starts taking a toll. So allow yourself some grace, and start with the simple question of who am I choosing to be?

Be excessive, be obsessive about what you truly want. There is no other option but getting what you want. You will work harder than you could imagine, there will be sleepless nights and probably you won't even have time to eat. But don't stop. Yes, for a long time it will be CHAOS, confusion. But let me tell you, THE SATISFACTION you have from the hard work, there is no better feeling than achieving your goal through hard work. And then, THE REGRET you'll have for not doing it will eat you alive. YOUR CHOICE

⭐️ RESET ⭐️

——————

- delete contacts you no longer speak to, old notes on phone, playlists you no longer listen to. 📱

- unsubscribe from podcasts, channels, music, remove apps & accounts that you no longer absorb. (replace these things with content the person you’re becoming would consume) 🎵🤍

- go through your wardrobe & create a donate, sell, & keep pile. don’t keep things you haven’t worn in months. before purchasing something, ask yourself if you’ll use it more than 5 times. for every item you bring in, 2-3 items should leave. 👚👙👟

- start adjusting your diet to fit your personal goals. remember that slow motion is better than no motion + discipline is necessary. don’t force yourself to get healthy / fit in one week this is a steady win - avoid burnout. writing your goals every week helps. ✍🏼🍳🍎🫐🥑

- practice detachment. i don’t mean from emotions & becoming ‘stoic’ but from materialistic objects, remove yourself from labels, become nothing so that you may become something. detach yourself from people that no longer serve you, stop dwelling on the past; there is only ‘right now’. detach yourself from the future, it is not promised & only creates anxious emotions. 🧠🫀🦶🏼

- learn to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. train yourself with breath work. I recommend pranayama, morning & night. I used to be anxious about anything that is ‘new’ until I started simply breathing properly & quieting my mind first thing when I wake up, I swear by it. 💆🏼‍♀️

- journal morning & night. track your mental + emotional patterns. write down why you feel a certain way & if you don’t know why, break it down instead of looking at the bigger picture. 📓

I could list more but I will end it here. There are levels to a reset. (lvl 1)

finished a sketch I had in drafts, it's a little rough but I like it as it is, so

Just a quick not friendly reminder: someone who has apologized for past mistakes, made amends for past actions, and clearly no longer holds past beliefs, is a far better person than one who digs up old dirt and uses a person's past that no longer exists against them.

Fuck a personality test. Which label sticker r u?
