A few ways to enhance your looks & femininity

countrylemon · 2019-02-05T01:24:27+00:00

I just got my eyebrows microbladed and they look amazing! Waking up with perfect brows is awesome, highly recommend it.

Skincare is so important. I used to have hormonal acne on my cheeks and chin. I got a series of chemical peels, which helped clear up my skin. Now I'm on the ScA subreddit and I'm building a skincare routine. Most days all I wear now is an illuminating lotion (Loreal True Match Lumi Lotion) and mascara. That's it!

Use an eyelash curler! It's so simple and it opens up my eyes.

I whiten my teeth once a month with Crest Whitestrips and get regular dental cleanings. I drink a lot of coffee so I need it.

Related to skincare, don't EVER, EVER sleep with your makeup on. Ever! And don't forget to wash your makeup brushes regularly.

Also, advice number 0: whatever you do, actually, like, DO IT. Skin care products don't work if you don't use them regularly. Gym memberships don't help you get in shape if you don't go to the gym and work out hard while you're there. Diets only work if you follow them.

This sounds so dumb and obvious but it's honestly the advice that I NEED more than anything haha. I am the queen of beautiful plans, great intentions, and throwing it all out in favour of being a lazy bum :)

Agree with mewster completely. Diet is probably the best thing that you can do for your beauty regimen combined with adequate sleep. Plenty of fresh or frozen fruits, that are just whole or sliced real fruit, no gimmicky packages. Lots of good veggies, but here is a hint. Only eat dark leafy greens. That iceberg lettuce really has no real value, and eating a whole salad of that is ridiculous. Also, eat steel cut oats, but get an instant variety that is not flavored. add your own real flavors, like pure honey or some fruit, and a milk substitute coconut milk is very tasty. I use Coach's oats, which I get at Costco.

Also, this is a huge point. Adjust your attitude, decrease stress and toss toxic people and situations completely out of your life. Except if they are your immediate family and you have no choice.

If you can't do this, then get the best pair of headphones you can, and simply tune out when around negative people or situations. Decreasing your stress takes years off of your looks, believe me.

Also, listen to relaxing music, limit the time you watch, read or listen to the news, as that can make you nervous or stressed. And that is the biggest beauty zapper of all.

If you take good care of your mental health, and eat good foods like fish, fruits, whole grains and vegetables, and cut out all sugar, fat and salt that you can, get a good nights rest, and have good hygiene, you do not even have to lose one ounce and men will flock to you. Just put on a bright happy smile, and be genuinely happy and interested in life. Have something to say, and be a friendly person. Be positive in your words to all people. You never know when some handsome guy is listening and overhears your great positive words, and then sees your happy positive smile and trust me he WILL gravitate to you if he is available.

Also, for dieting, remember to not do any fad diets they do not work. Be prepared to realistically lose between three and five pounds and actually keep it off per month when really exercising hard. One of the problems with all exercise is plateauing, which will require you to take breaks, and that's when your eating habits and everything else mustn't change. During peak plateaus, change what you do for exercise.

If you were running, then start swimming and vice versa. Free weights? Then try some machine exercises. do heavy workouts every other day.

For nails I suggest gels. They can handle any weather conditions, and work just like real nails and require just a fill and can last an extraordinary amount of time. Also remember to get a pedicure and match your nail polishes and lipstick if possible. If you have pale skin use a pale shade. If you are getting tanned then go with a little darker shades and also try to wear bright colors. It is mood uplifting.

Yoga is very good for centering yourself and your thoughts and calming yourself.

Another good suggestion is to not think of improving your looks because of a man. Do it for yourself. Getting admiring looks is nice, but remember that this is good for you and your overall health throughout your lifetime, and should not just be something that you do while guy hunting. YOU need to come first.

A man that has a woman who thinks of herself, her health, her body, and her mind is really what a quality man is looking for.

Also, do not act dumb, or lessor, or ditzy, or helpless to get a man to notice you. You are too intelligent for that. A modern, sophisticated woman does not need to play those silly games these days. Men admire accomplished women, who know how to use their talents and have ambition. A woman should have passions, and interests outside of a relationship with another person. This makes you a whole and well rounded person. you do not need to have a phd or be a brain surgeon, but you should have a general well rounded education, and be able to converse on the subject matters of the day.

Believe it or not, men really do like women who have a mind, and are intelligent, and they are attracted to that.

So, step by step, slowly incorporate this routine into your daily life and you will never lack for wonderful male company, or that handsome husband.

I like all of these a lot. I'm going to have to look into press on nails; fancy nails always look gorgeous when I see other women who have them, but I've never made the effort because they look so impractical. It'd be fun to try them out.

The biggest improvement I've made recently in this area is with my clothing; I've started picking out my outfits the night before rather than relying on the morning version of me to make the effort. Like you I am low maintenance; I don't like investing lots of time into my appearance, and it tends to fall very far down my list of priorities, even though I know I feel better when I look good. When I used to get up in the morning, I was tending to throw on whatever was clean and comfortable, and eoften ended up looking and feeling frumpy. Now I look a lot more put together and am more likely to have my hair and makeup in a reasonable state as I have a little more time to spend on them.

Another couple really simple things that anyone can do:

-Eat a well rounded diet, maybe track your nutrients on an app like chronometer, when you balance everything internally it'll naturally boost your hair, skin and nail health. Supplement or add in nutrients your normal diet is low in.

- Get enough sleep, your body needs downtime to repair itself. Try not to run yourself ragged if you can help it!

Not only will it help you continue looking your best, but you'll feel better too!

My tip: Moisturize your skin all over, especially during the winter time!

I started using lotion all over my body after I shower every time (every 1.5 to 3 days during the winter), and it has made a huge difference in the softness and smoothness of my skin. I don't use anything fancy; just Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion or Aveeno Skin Relief 24hr Moisturizing Lotion. Wow, has it helped my skin! I feel more feminine with the softness it adds to my skin.

I've also been keeping a nice quality, naturally scented lotion on hand, too. I add a little of that on my neck, arms, and torso after my regular lotion dries, to give myself a nice scent that's more mild than a perfume.

It's amazing how big of a difference the little things can make :)

A couple of very easy ones:

take your hair tie off your wrist!
lint roller before you leave the house
perfume
earrings instantly make your face look more feminine

These are all great! Just a note about the shampoo and conditioner. These do not have to be expensive! I do what's called the curly girl method (there's a sub for it.) I use VO5 and tresemme cheapo products (there are several sulfate and silicone free drugstore products.) The shampoo I use once a month to clarify. I wash my hair twice a week with conditioner. Even for straight hair I'm pretty sure this works. My hair is way better than when I used expensive products.

NeitherFlower · 2019-02-05T10:39:00+00:00

Instead of buying an eyelashes serum,I suggest getting an empty old mascara bottle and filling it with a mix of castor oil,aloe vera gel and vitamin e oil. It's natural,effective and cheap

wegvisir · 2019-02-05T13:23:42+00:00

I plan on learning to braid my own hair. (I am clumsy) One thing I love is how silk scarves can be used to make someone look regal and feminine at the same time.

freyalifestyle · 2019-02-05T19:50:42+00:00

I also really reccomend not washing your hair every 2 days. Of course, wear a shower cap & still wash your body everyday.

Also, reccomend a chlorine filter for your shower and drinking water for hair and enamel protection.

Lastly, satin pillow case and keeping your hair up when you sleep will prevent both hair and skin damage. I read that a derm said other than sun damage, many wrinkles can be attribited to the harshness of sleeping on your side on cotton pillowcase??

Great points! I totally agree about the consistency of exercise. I used to do it sporadically but it’s much better when you just set a schedule and stick to it.

This sounds random but also I occasionally look at old photos of myself. Obvs I will never look 19 again, and this isn’t for the faint hearted, but it’s to remind myself how much effort I used to put into my appearance and to inspire me to keep up that effort. I find that some ladies stop making as much effort after marriage and I don’t want to be like that.

I’m super interested in what you said about eyelash serum. Though someone said they changed the active ingredient in Rapidlash so it doesn’t work anymore. Have you seen a change & do you buy it on amazon or their website for 2x more? Thanks!

Zegiknie · 2019-02-05T09:48:04+00:00

Seriously on the eyelash serum? I always thought that was just marketing and couldn't possibly work.

(I love posts like these, I just smacked into the wall... with my first people were annoying because they mistook me for a teen mom. I wish they were still annoying me with that now lol - and be warned about the sidesleeping, my squashed cheeks now left permanent vertical lines on the side of my nose OH NOOOO)

Question about #8: Any specific videos?

Press-on nails and "tan-touring" can get really trashy-looking really quickly, and they're no substitute for better hygiene. If your nails are brittle, a fortifying nail polish is a way better long term solution.

As for "tan-touring"... ew. Just no. Sorry not sorry. Do some real skin care instead- gentle cleanser, toner, moisturizer, sunscreen. If your skin looks great, it will improve your whole look and you'll find that you need much less makeup.
