Hiya girlies!

From tomorrow I am visiting my partner’s highly Catholic, Eastern European parents, so I will have to pretend to be a boy for like two weeks straight.

I already know I’m gonna feel disgusting when I get back.

So what things do you do to feel cute and feminine? I’d love to have some nice things to try when I am safe again.

Thank you <3

Lately its been skincare :) doing my daily routine makes me feel fresh bright and girly. Ive gotten really into it and the difference it makes on your face is amazing! Just taking good care of myself and my body makes me feel very feminine. Doing my hair every day, picking out my outfits, taking good care of my teeth. Investing time and energy into me. It feels good, and I try my best to do it each day.

I have recently discovered an invention. It covers blemishes, wrinkles, and has been known to at least one person to help with self-confidence. I call it “makeup.”

Joking aside, I’m starting to find that incorporating makeup into my morning routine helps with my self-image and confidence. And a little goes a long way! A bit of foundation or concealer, some eyeshadow, some blush, a touch of lipstick, and in 20 or so minutes, you’ll look fabulous! I’ve only applied it to myself a few times, but getting some help from my kids and some new friends has helped me a lot!

If you aren’t comfortable with makeup yet, I suggest finding a few trusted friends to paint you up and give you some pointers, if you haven’t already!

Styling my hair with a clip, ribbon, or scarf hits the spot for me.

I’m not trans, so I apologize if this advice is misplaced but I recently bought a soft, fuzzy, pink and purple nightgown that came with thigh high striped socks. I love to put it on after a long hot shower. I feel so cute and girly and silly when I am wearing it, and it’s surprisingly warm!
