it's never too late to start brushing your teeth again. i basically never brushed my teeth for a whole 10 years. a decade. A DECADE. i still struggle to brush my teeth once a week, but it all started with brushing my teeth once every few months. so i mean it when i say brushing your teeth once a week, a month, a year, or even a decade, is better than nothing.
and still, nothing is not shameful. it is not immoral to struggle with self care. and it is also not pointless to keep trying. anything you can do, even if its wiping plaque off with a towel, is enough. it is good to take care of yourself however you can, even if it's just trying to muster the will to. reading this post is good, too.
i believe in you and i am proud of you, even in the smallest of steps. it's okay. you can give yourself grace.

easy hygiene tips ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
to improve physical appearance , health and hygiene are a must.
water ♡
water. please , for the love of god , drink water. get up rn and go drink some water. water does so much , want clear skin? water. want to lose weight? water. want to feel more refreshed? water. ITS SO HELPFUL!! you really don't want to be dehydrated, it has so many negative effects.
i would aim for around 2 liters (8 full glasses) a day , but you can slowly increase your water intake over the span of a few weeks if you're not ready for that. if you like me and forget to drink , set alarms or reminders for when you need to.
apple cider vinegar ♡
okay , yes, it tastes gross, but it's so good for your PH!! just drink 2 teaspoons everyday (dilute with water first) , trust me it will make your body sweat and kitty smell (and taste) soo much better!! it can also help u lose weight , decrease waist size and is so good for your skin!!
easy oral hygiene ♡
brush your teeth at least 3 times a day. i normally opt for brushing my teeth twice in a row morning and night , and once during the day (yes , even if i'm at school). also , don't forget to floss!! most importantly u wanna b scraping/brushing your tongue, along with brushing your gums and the roof of your mouth!! If you're not brushing regularly and not brushing your tongue, your breath is gonna stink.
another tip - mints > gum. no matter how minty your gum is , if you're chewing it all day it's gonna make your breath smell bad. a sugar-free mint that specialises in good breath every morning helps so much for me.
shower/bath care ♡
please wash behind your ears and your belly button. every part of your body should be clean!!! you don't want build-up.
exfoliate before and after u shave. this will leave u feeling SO smooth and helps avoid razor bumps , if you have sensitive skin (like me) it can help avoid irritation (i get SO itchy and my skin gets covered in red bumps if i don't exfoliate when shaving). personally, i don't suffer from oily skin , but if u do, exfoliating afterwards helps remove any dirt from clogged pores and any residue build-up!
use different clothes depending on what part of your body you're cleaning!! use a softer cloth for your face and kitty , and use regular clothes for the main part of your body and bum. NEVER wash your face in the shower! you want your face to have its own personal time for you to clean it so you can really focus on it. also , hot water from the shower can damage your skin and make it dry. your shower head also probably has a lot of bacteria hiding in it, so please wash your face separately after your shower.

GLOW UP TIPS ; part 1.
౨ৎ dental hygiene
please brush your tongue!! all that bacteria on your tongue is why your breath never smells good. if you don't brush your tongue bacteria will keep stacking over each other and that can eventually lead to a gum disease or worse.
brush your teeth at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. some do it after every meal but at least twice a day is fine. prevents gum disease, removes plaque and food build up!
if you want whiter teeth, use whitening strips! its okay if your teeth are a little yellowish, that doesn't mean they're dirty. some people have naturally yellowish teeth!
use vaseline or a good lip balm to keep your lips nice and hydrated!
౨ৎ hair care
get a silk pillowcase, wont wake up to dry and frizzy hair anymore! reduces friction and lessens tangles and breakage / split ends. yes, it might be a bit pricey but its 100% worth it.
oiling your scalp 2-3x a week, doing this can grow your hair and making it more hydrated and shiny! oiling the ends of your hair strengthens it, also hydrates and prevents frizz.
want to keep your hair length but want to get rid of split ends? try dusting your hair! dusting helps locate split ends easier. keeps length and restores smoother softer looking hair! but this doesn't mean to skip your regular trims.
clean your hairbrush. please. leftover oil from your hair gets in it and when you go to brush your hair its making it oily all over again. wash it once every 3 weeks.

hi disabled friends. here's list of minimal things you can do to increase your hygiene & comfort today, if possible ♡
put on at least 1 clean(er) article of clothing (ex: underwear)
brush your hair
rub your teeth with a towel
rinse your mouth with water
splash your face with water
grab a clean(er) blanket
flip your pillowcase to the side you haven't been using
change your posture, stretch
put on a gentle light, or draw the curtains
allow yourself at least a few minutes in a quiet environment
put on some soft background noise (ex: ambient sound, lofi)
try to pick out some pleasant sensory input (ex: birds chirping, how soft your clothes/blanket is)
and if you cant do any of these, dont guilt yourself. disability isnt a failing, and you're doing the best you can!
(yes, this post includes chronically ill and neurodivergent people! you're disabled too!)

my intentional morning routine:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-I wake up around 6 AM, instead of immediately getting on my phone like I used to. I lay in bed for a couple of minutes, allowing my body to realize the transition it is making.
-After that, I immediately drink a full bottle of water. This is pretty easy for me because when I wake up, I’m usually dehydrated even if I don’t realize it yet my body does. I’m able to do this quickly and easily by grabbing a water bottle the night before. By the time I wake up it’s usually warm, warm/hot liquids are actually very beneficial to your digestive system. This helps my digestive system get a head start on the day.
-I move onto making my bed. A step I never used to incorporate because I always felt it was unnecessary but once my bed is made I rarely want to ruin the work I’ve created which urges me to not get back in it.
-Tea. I always drink some type of tea in the morning, my go-tos being ginger or green. This is another thing that I do for my digestive system as well as overall calmness. Instead of doing another task while having my tea, I like to enjoy it and simply take gratitude in the drink.
-I then go into breath work, I do a Nadi Shodhana technique of alternate nostril breathing, as someone with severe anxiety breathing has become a big part of my journey in managing it. Even if I’m not feeling anxious I love to get a head start on it (something I learned from my therapist). I tend to do this practice for a few minutes and find my body in a completely calm state afterward.
The Technique:
*Sit in a comfortable position for me this is usually with my legs crossed.
*Place your ring finger on your left nostril and your thumb on the right.
*Cover your right nostril and breathe in through your left, cover your left nostril and exhale through your right nostril and repeat.
*When you are finally done with this practice exhale fully out of your left nostril.
-The next thing I like to do is engage in prayer and gratitude. I have created a specific prayer that I repeat every morning, although it changes when needed. I simply express gratitude by writing out everything that I am thankful for in that moment in my journal.
-I then move onto hygiene and breakfast which I’ll usually have a smoothie or oatmeal if I’m not fasting.
And that’s my intentional morning routine!
