hot girl summer prep⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🍉
over the course of the next eight weeks, we should be preparing for our hot girl summer. this post is ofc just to be helpful and just for funsies, to help you feel your most confident and radiant this summer ✨
if i were to break down the most important things to prep for hot girl summer they’d be to work on ur base (skin + body) ur company, and ur wardrobe.
BASE ;
moisturize ur skin after your showers while your skin is still slightly damp, for moisturized and soft skin this summer
if ur not already using sunscreen on your face AND body then what are you even doing? get in the habit of putting sunscreen on ur body to promote a smooth and even skin tone and protect u from the sun ofc
get into a solid workout regimen that u can be consistent with. focus on building ur body to perfection! work out as much as u want, i recommend 3-4 times a week.
my recommendations for soft skin is to use an african net sponge bcuz that always gets me CLEAN. also, use african black soap for glowy skin and use shea butter on ur body while ur skin is still slightly damp.
not only does it smell yummy but it rly REALLY moisturizes you well. i also recommend using it during the summer bcuz the glow that u get from it is REAL.
i’ve elaborated on sunscreen in the bullet points already so let’s go to body building. get into a workout regimen 3-4 times a week. i’ll share some workouts here depending on what u want.
the important thing is that you start NOW so that then by the time it’s summer your gains will be visible and you’ll feel stronger and more confident -> therefore more happy and prepped for ur hot girl summer.
use body scrubs to exfoliate skin and also promote optimal softness bcuz in the summer it’ll be hot and you might wanna show some skin
WARDROBE ;
get onto ur pinterest and start looking for inspo for your summer wardrobe that coincides with ur personal style. use ur fashion binder if u have one to start formulating and thinking of outfits.
create a list of specific pieces that ur looking for (with photos if u can) so that when ur shopping/thrifting u know to get what u want for summer.
the important things for summer from my own fashion binder are bikinis, camisoles and mini skirts + shorts. bcuz i wrote that in my fashion binder i’ll look for and buy those specific clothing pieces for my summer wardrobe. do the same ✨
COMPANY ;
it’s more fun when u spend some parts of ur summer with quality company so make sure to prepare that NOW so that then ur plans go smoothly in the summertime.
now is the time to test the waters and propose ideas with ur friends about what u guys should do together this summer. maybe it’s simply hanging out, or going on a sort of vacation together.
whatever it is, make sure that ur company is not only reliable/responsible but also that they have ur best interest at heart bcuz it’s gonna be hot girl summer and everyone’s gonna be out there 😭 u need someone to have ur back and someone that you can trust.
i don’t wanna get too into the hot girl summer agenda since it’s only april BUT u all can def expect lots of summer content from me. much love 🎀

New project for work. I'm trying to figure out how to do the pattern for a lino cut. I'm doodling on a bad printout and revengyfied the ship as best as I could after working with the print the whole time (should have done that first but didn't think of it then).
Wish me luck.

The pressures of being a teenager
The other day I was talking to my cousin who is on the cusp of writing the board exams. He is generally a very talented and hard working student, and has performed well in his previous exams. But talking to him gave me anxiety. Partly because it reminded me of the time I myself was a student writing the board exams and partly because of his situation. He was lamenting about his inability to…

You show up prepared to be what was needed. Each and every time.
You are preparing every day of your life--or you should be. I'm enraged by the term 'getting ready.' Well, I mean, you're past the point of needing to be ready; you can't be 'getting ready.' I think it's a narcotic. I think Tennessee [Williams] is quite right about that. Making notes; praying; talking it out. This is seen as preparation. Listen, no one is ever perfect or just what everyone wanted.
You just go out and show up ready, prepared, energetic, grateful, fulsome. You astonish yourself and others when it turns out you were exactly what was needed, but you don't 'get ready' for this. You show up prepared to be what was needed. Each and every time.
— Katharine Hepburn, from an interview with James Grissom in 1990. (via Follies of God on FB, December 8, 2012) (via Alive on All Channels)

Exam Prep
So... I'm new to this city, this school and the CBSE syllabus. I've been killing myself here trying to learn all this stuff.
I had my history, geography, economics and politics yesterday.
I have my computers exam today and I have opened the book for the first time ever, this morning. Hopefully, they won't ask anything I don't already know.
Even if they do, it's on me.
Anyways, I hope you are a lot more sensible than me and don't leave your examination preparation for the last minute.
Good day to you.
