At Home Makeover

I have recently been coming out of a hard area in my life and I notice that I have not been giving myself the self care that I need. So I decided to do some self care. I am unemployed at the moment and currently looking for a career so I had to do this on a budget. You can too.

1. Eyebrows

This facial feature is so important and should be kept. The last few times I did my eyebrows, I did them at home with the help of some YouTube videos. They turned out beautifully. Especially for a job done at home. I basically made sure they were even in height and length. Then I drew a silhouette of the shape I wanted with an eyebrow pencil. I began to pluck and cut hair that did not stick to the shape I wanted. This took time and patience then viola!!! I had nice looking eyebrows.

EXTRA TIP: Eyebrows are sisters and not twins.

2. Managing Body Hair

This maybe different for each individual. Some people may choose to remove hair from some places while others may not. That is totally your decision. I choose to shave my face, underarms, lower legs, and bikini area along with trimming my private areas hair low. That is just how I prefer it. Do what makes you feel comfortable.

EXTRA TIP: If out/or don't like shaving cream. Conditioner was a great option. I noticed smoother and more accurate finish.

3. Nails

Do your nails and toes once a week. Its does not have to be fancy. Wash, exfoliate, shape, polish, moisturized. That way your don't have to worry about it throughout the week.

EXTRA TIP: If you are bad at painting nails like I am, try a shimmer quick dry. The polish is clear and the shimmers help distract from mistakes.

PART 2. COMING SOON

We Should Just Stop Buying Lingerie Brands That Do Not Make Us Feel Good About Ourselves *coughs*( Victoria's Secret)

So I am just gonna go ahead and say this. Victoria's Secret is a garbage can of fat phobia, transphobia, and oppression of women wrapped in pink frills. How long are we going to continue to walk into the doors of a corporation whose intention are not to make women feel "empowered" and "sexy" but instead give the world (men) what they want to see.

So let's talk abut Ed Razek. He was a Chief Officer of L Brands. (Smart to stop in 2019) He states, "So it’s like, why don’t you do 50? Why don’t you do 60? Why don’t you do 24?(talking about size range) It’s like, why doesn’t your show do this? Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us. And they carp at us because we’re the leader." *DID HE JUST SAY TRANS..........*** YOU KNOW WHAT..... LET'S MOVE ON..

This man is basically implying that their size range is enough in stores. As well as stating that , larger size, midsize, plus size, and trans models do not fit the image of fantasy.... Ok, but fantasy for whom? LET'S GET INTO IT

So the CDC Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System ,from a previous population survey, estimated that 1.4 million adults in the USA identify as transgender. NOTE: The survey did not include individuals who identify as non binary, gender fluid, etc. That's a large sized population of people who may want to buy lingerie. THATS LIKE THE POPULATION OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA OR DALLAS, TEXAS!!!!! I feel there is safe to say there is not one city or town where people don't want/buy lingerie. (CHECK ME IF I AM WRONG) SOMEBODY is going to want lingerie. Specifically lingerie that is inclusive to their identity. JUST SAYING! That can't be too hard to understand, right ??? People other than cis- women want to feel beautiful and sexy. (NOT THAT THEY CARED ABOUT WHAT WOMEN IN GENERAL WANTED FROM THE JUMP.)

Now lets talk about body size. THE AVERAGE WAIST SIZE OF A WOMEN ABOVE THE AGE OF TWENTY IN THE USA IS ABOUT 38.7 INCHES. That is roughly a size 18-20. So why aren't those sizes more represented in advertisement and fashions shows.....??? CLOTHING ATLEAST??????? THE BARE MINIMUM. Victoria's Secret is basically saying that if your are not below this small single size ( Probably around 4) . You cannot be sexy or beautiful. You should also feel ridiculous for asking to be included.................... even though the NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 4 TO 5 TIMES THAT SMALL SINGLE SIZE........ MAKE IT MAKE SENSEEEEE.

I need to end this post cause it's making me upset. In conclusion, why are we supporting this trash ass brand. I think we can do better. I can list some more inclusive brands. Just let me know if guys want some more information.

I"M OUT OF HEREEEE!!!
