Talk it out
Honour the little girl inside of you, the little girl that was abused, hurt, abandoned, who felt she was never enough. Let her feel safe, let her know she is loved, tell her everyday. Make her feel so special, she deserves it, keep her clean and warm and nourish her with the nutritious foods. Let her feel free. Let her embrace the things she loved doing, skating in the park, jumping on the trampoline, painting, running, swimming, making sandcastles, girly sleepovers, making stories, playing dressup. It might sound silly, it might sound irrelevant but honouring the little kid inside of you is going to bring you so much joy and fulfilment. That little version of you, still exists, and deserves to be honoured. Give yourself the love and care, and joy that was stolen from you as a child.
“Should you find yourself in a situation where you think the evil eye has been placed on a loved one, try the following folk remedy. Take a small amount of olive oil to your ancestor altar. Pray that they will conjure any evil eye that may have been placed on your loved one intentionally or unintentionally into the oil.
Place a dish of water over the victim’s head and add some of the oil drop by drop. Look at the patterns it forms. Do any of them look like eyes? (They will jump right out at you if they’re there.) Prick any eyes that you see in the oil with a pin or cut them with scissors. When you’re done, dump the water and oil down the toilet.”
- Excerpt from: "Honoring Your Ancestors: A Guide to Ancestral Veneration" by Mallorie Vaudoise.
Remain disciplined. Stay strong. Nothing can stop you if you don’t stop for anything. When it gets painful push harder. Have discipline to keep going when it hurts. Life gives you what you deserve. Work for it. Sacrifice for it. Give your all. Otherwise you won’t get it. Show your character. Remain disciplined. Stay strong. Don’t say “why me?!” Say “try me!” Keep going even when you don’t see results. Be strong. Be brave, remain disciplined and your time will come.

One of my Dream Girl goals is to get more invested in body care; a huge part of that is learning how to make my body smell good! (fragrance wise) I feel like I've finally cracked the code for myself, and I'm ready to share it!
♡ face ♡ feminine area ♡ hair ♡ body (arms, legs, stomach, back)
♡ bum
♡feet
Your face and feminine area are the two most sensitive parts of your body, which is why they should be cleansed first. Cleanse your face first to avoid getting any unwanted body care products on your face.
Next, your Feminine area. Your feminine has a lot of hidden creases; if it's not cleansed properly, you can get buildup around your "inner lips" (labia minora) which will cause odor.
♡ Take a wet Q-tip and clean your "inner lips" and clitoris. If needed, use a hand mirror to make sure you're removing any possible build-up.
♡ After you are done (with clean hands) wash the entire area. DO NOT wash inside of the hole, and DON'T use a fragrance wash. Simply using warm water is the best option, but if you feel more comfortable using a wash, my favorites are the Unscented and Peppermint Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap and Honey Pot's foam wash.
Tip: If you are experiencing a slight odor, wash with diluted apple cider vinegar to help balance your PH.
Hair products and the buildup from your hair can cause breakouts. Wash your hair first, so then you can make sure everything is rinsed and cleansed off after.
♡ Start by washing your entire body with SOAP. Girlies... Dove is not soap. Dove is a "moisturizing beauty bar with a mild cleanser." Which mild is okay for washing your face, but not your body, in my opinion.
Of course, use what you want, but I suggest at least mixing it with soap. As always, I recommend Dr.Bronners Soap.
- Use an exfoliating cloth to clean your back. This will help get those hard-to-reach places and prevent/clear any bacne.
- Don't forget to wash behind your ears, your neck, and your belly button.
♡ Now exfoliate. You should exfoliate once or twice a week. DON'T use sugar scrubs!! Super unsanitary. I don't know much about chemical exfoliants, but I am currently using Soap and Glory: Scrub of your life - and I'm obsessed.
- Exfoliate your neck, arms, shoulder, (bum) cheeks, and legs. You can also exfoliate your armpits, but DO NOT exfoliate your armpits on shaving day.
♡ Use products with strong scents. I personally find that creamy body washes have stronger and lasting scents.
♡ Apply products directly to the skin to prevent them from absorbing too much into what you're using to wash.
♡ Layer your products - use products with the same notes.
♡ DO NOT immediately wash the products off - let it sit for at least 2-5 minutes, so the scent can stick to your skin.
♡ Use your washcloth to clean your bum last since it holds the most bacteria. I like mixing soap and Vagisil.
♡ Lastly, your feet. Use a foot brush and callus remover.
- DON'T use the same washcloth for days - Washcloths should be put in the laundry after every use.
♡ (With clean hands) apply face products.
♡ Apply your scented lotion to damp skin, so it will absorb into your skin.
- Mix your lotion with perfume oil for an even stronger and lasting scent!
♡ Apply Deodorant - If you are a sweaty girl, use dry spray deodorant and apply it to all of your problem areas.
♡ Apply perfume to pulse points - Put vaseline on pulse points first and DON'T rub in the perfume.
♡ Get Dressed and then apply a generous amount of (matching) body mist all over your body.
Now you should be feeling good and smelling dreamy!

my recommendations 1
"I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more."
– Michelle K., "I Know I Deserve More" (via "michellekpoems" on Tumblr)
In 2022 prioritize relaxation, not being in a constant state of worry and anxiety. Being able to unplug from the worries and expectations of the world while enjoying the present moment. Prioritize setting up spaces and time to unwind and give yourself the attention and pampering you deserve. Life doesn't have to be hectic all the time.
Whatever energy may have crossed you that was not cosmically justified or for your benefit, may it be rebuked and banished. If it was cosmically justified, may you heal from the experiences, and learn from the lessons therein. May your character improve.
Whatever blocked your blessings that was not of you, nor in alignment with your higher self, may they be rebuked and sent back, unable to return to you or yours.
Whatever pain and suffering that is not yours that you may have been carrying within you, may it be released for healing elsewhere.
Whatever feelings of hurt, betrayal, worthlessness or defeat you may have been carrying with you, may you have a safe place to acknowledge them. Whatever illness you may be carrying that can be relieved through this work, may they be gently removed.
Whatever difficulties you may have experienced and now walk in fear of, may your fear be dissolved, so that you may walk your road with confidence and peace of mind.
Whatever past grudges or negativity you may have been carrying with you, may they be released. Whatever envy, jealousy or spite you may have been holding within you, may that be released also, and may you be blessed with self-recognition of your own value.
Whatever harsh lessons you may have learned, or may have needed to learn (s/o Maryam Hasnaa), may you forgive yourself for having those experiences.
These words will not return void, nor will they be transmuted, altered, slowed or blocked for those who accept this blessing.
Ase.
