Moving forward I have nothing to give. NOTHING. My resources are for myself and myself alone. It’s my selfish season. 🎀🫧💌

i need a manicure, a facial, a full body massage, a silk press, a shopping spree, and lash extensions. nothing major.

Glossy, juicy lips. Vanilla perfumes and cocoa hand creams. Business and first class plane seats. Smooth, crystal clear skin and buttery soft legs. Trips to Cancun and France. Spending weeks in South Korea exploring. Speaking multiple languages. Jewels on my wrists. Fresh macarons and hot cocoa.

A Prissy Girl’s Guide to Summer

the summer is right around the corner and we have to make sure we’re ready to have a good time and look great while also staying focused on our development and goals. i don’t care, i feel like every little change is an opportunity for reinvention. season change, new year, birthdays, etc. make the changes you feel are necessary but have been putting off.

what’s the look this summer?

“she’s perfect omg” look as natural as possible yet ethereally flawless. hot girl bimboesque. glowy skin that looks hot to the touch. siren straight out of the water hair.

“body shimmer, pretty belly rings, mini skirts, dior lip gloss, laneige lip sleeping mask, lash extensions, pink binki's, pink french acrylics, iced coffee, dewy skin, big gold hoops & curly hair”

“I need a mani pedi, full body massage, spa day, a hydrojelly facial & a vacation.”

- @milliondollaprincess

“Aggressive orange blush. Skin balm as highlighter. Hydrating serums under base makeup. Applying coverage only where you need it. Setting spray over a thin layer of powder. Bronzer. Gloss over smudged liner on top of stain.”

- @plumslices

first and foremost…

let’s get the skin together. we’re going towards the glowy second skin look and it’s hard to do that with dry, aggravated skin. use gentle cleanser in the am and actives at night. go outside with spf and facial oil finished with a laneige lip treatment + tree hut shea lip butter on days when you’re not wearing makeup for the pretty natural look.

preparation

waist training. when at home or running errands wear a steel boned torso covering waist trainer and a sweat band when active.

revamp your wardrobe and declutter, then post on depop, mercari, poshmark etc. this doesn’t mean change your style but it’s always refreshing to get a good honest look at your wardrobe

get your passport. everyone loves taking trips but summertime is the time for exotic destinations.

car maintenance. make sure your transportation is in good condition so you can move freely

acid peels for your entire body

make a new summer playlist to drive around to

body exfoliation for soft pretty skin free of bumps and flakes + waxing to reduce ingrown hairs

get a new fun hobby/job

keep your brows and lip waxed

essentials

SPF!!!!!!!!

mini fan for your purse

glowy body oil

butterfly clips (let’s not sweat out our hair)

cute matching luggage for the cute trips we’re takin!

summer ‘22 diary

a mini deodorant for the hot weather

travel water bottle

body wash with aha, bha, or vit c for glowing skin

victoria’s secret passport sleeve

clothes and accessories

lightweight tanks and sweats with girly sneakers!! super chic, very off duty model effortless pretty (check out @staszki if you need more lookspo)

bottega veneta (style) pieces. bottega screams sunny vacation to me! i’d you can’t afford designer there are plenty of hobo style bags and strappy knit pieces you can find at an affordable price!!

maxi, midi and mini tube dresses. i love a tube dress they just compliment my shape so well. they accentuate the collarbone, bust and hips

belly rings!! so sexy. girl you better snatch that waist up and show it off in the hot weather.

low rise pants to show off your waist

short shorts. look for cuts that are flattering and sexy but not extreme. PINK, Juicy Couture, Forever 21 make the best short shorties!

mini bags and purses, including baguettes and pochettes add to the effortless summery look. keep your essentials on you at all times and that’s it

tube tops, bikini tops. prissy essential duh

more: palazzo or wide legged pants, heeled and strappy sandals, ruffled and pleated mini skirts, maxi sun skirts, shirt dresses, satin and see through shirts, leather tops and bottoms, linen fabric pieces, gold jewelry, brights and pastels (not neons though, ew)

beauty

tinted moisturizer, liquid blush, full coverage concealer, tinted brow gel all for a flawless LIGHTWEIGHT face. it’s too much for thick makeup bc you’ll sweat it off

jergens natural glow, even for my dark skinned girls, trust me!

patrick ta body oil for that hot sunkissed siren skin.

edp with bright sweet or sparkling notes of flora or clean light scents. good examples include springtime in a park by replica, donna born in roma by valentino, gucci gorgeous gardenia, marc jacobs daisy love eau so fresh, si by armani, yellow diamond by versace

wispy lashes give a very natural look and compliments a lightweight face

body mist for travel! it’ll be hot we’re gonna start feeling the need for a refresher

glitter gloss and clear gloss!! again we’re going for the lightweight effortless looking beauty, plus glitter gloss looks amazing in the natural light of the sun

natural looking hairstyles like water waves, kinky straight, body wave, twist outs, braids.

juicy sheet masks!!! i don’t know what it is but these make pores disappear and skin look so beautiful. i love putting one on after my aztec clay mask and applying spf and going out with lashes and a poppin gloss

natural hair girls: invest in your hair. do a mask every two weeks. buy new tools. get a pink tangle tweezer or tangle angel brush. stay up on oil, cream and gel. it’s summertime! prime wash and go season. always brush your hair in the shower with a detangling brush then seal with oil and a lightweight cream then gel and you’re all set. my favorite products include edge booster, tgin leave in, aphogee keratin reconstructor, etc.

jergens cloud creme lotion. my boo @luxehunny put me on. it’s so light and airy feeling. leaves behind no heavy film or greasy texture.

Image: Unbreakable Code 🔖

Part of cleaning our image as black women as a whole includes:

Being firm that a black woman has 2 black parents

Engaging in activities and social justice reform that protects us

Promoting and engaging with content that highlights us in an excellent light: pictures, videos, photoshoots and advertisement - trust me, they are listening to us as I write

Promote all black women to look their best in public

Taking compliments from everyone without publicly speculating if they're pandering

Not financially supporting any man that doesn't show out for us: Money talks

PROTECTING the spaces for black women that we created

Publicly calling out women that allow society to use us

Not defending people who don't defend us

Not engaging in masculine activities like marching for MEN

Separating from black men as a whole

Separating from black women who sabotage themselves and others: pick me's and SJWs

My life soon, full of luxury, travel, work, and comfort ✨

[theboujeecafe]

Until you have 100% made it, be frugal:

Buy dupes

Shop at Walmart/Lidl/markets

Buy fast fashion

Travel economy class

Share an apartment

Too many girls get a taste of money and lose their common sense. You're not rich, so save your money for more important things like cosmetic procedures, educational courses, social clubs, starting a business, investing, paying debts etc.

Let the wealthy men you date buy you designer items, take you to fancy dinners, pay for your first class flights, buy you a condo etc.

Ladies, You Don’t Receive Respect Because You Don’t Demand It‼️

Have you ever noticed when you were in school that there was maybe one teacher whose students were very disrespectful towards. I mean students would come to class whenever they wanted to, turn in assignments past the due date, and were very unpleasant & hard to deal with. While there was another teacher whose students were respectful towards and knew better to stay in line. Like it's a completely different world compared to the first teacher's experience. Students would actually try to show up on time, turn in the assignments on the due date, and were quiet when needed to be & easy to deal with. Well, there you go! That’s literal proof that people are only going to do what you allow. If you allow people to walk over you…. THEY WILL. Demand respect and best believe you will receive it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 ‘𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖’ 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐄𝐓

what is stopping you from doing what you want to do now? most of the time there is nothing stopping you but yourself. everyday you have a choice to break the cycle or repeat. what do you want to do? stop waiting, stop telling yourself “ill do it in 5 minutes” and never do. this type of mindset limits your potential.

if there is something that has been constantly on your mind, pursue it. nothing can go wrong once you start becoming a better version of yourself. this is YOUR life, nobody else’s. you get to have a say in what you want in your life and what you want OUT of your life do not let people’s opinions stop you from doing what you want to do, do not let the comfort of your mindset stop you from doing what you want to do.

DO IT NOW! start with the fear, start with a shaky hand, start with doubts, start with insecurity because guess what? once you start and never look back you’re going to be so happy with yourself.
