Guys. I used a mens shaving creme for my legs tonight and… Wow. I dont think any soap has left me feeling softer. AND it prevents razor burn? Why the fuck have I been using liquid soap?!?!?!
I use Ro’s Argan from Lush and trust me it changes your life! But men’s shaving gel is also amazing!!!
the general concept of double cleansing is that you need to remove any makeup and/or sunscreen before you can properly cleanse your skin
double cleansing isnt always necessary, especially not in the morning but as soon as you start to apply water resistant sunscreen, double cleansing is the way to go
there is a ton of balms and oils that emulsify in contact with water, one of the most known ones is probably the heimish all clean balm
but! if youre like me and havent found the right cleansing oil you can double cleanse with pure oils too
i just dont like the ones ive tried, they either leave a film or sting my eyes or just something else that bothers me
so, what i do to remove sunscreen and any makeup is to massage my oil of choice (currently using hemp) onto dry skin, then wet my face and just continue with my cleanser as normal
this removes any traces of sunscreen and oil without the annoying emulsify part
so if you have trouble finding the right cleansing oil for you, try this with your favorite pure oil! just make sure its cosmetic grade & that youre washing it off properly
if you use a lot of heat styling tools or your hair is thin and easily damaged, get it cut every 6-8 weeks.
conditioner or moisturising treatments won’t fix split ends, the only way to get rid of them is to cut them.
however, if you regularly condition your hair (or deep condition once a week) and use heat protectant spray, you could prevent split ends.
keratosis pilaris is very common (dry, often red bumps on the skin - basically where your skin struggles to exfoliate itself) and it can be made better by moisturising daily. don’t pick at it or use harsh soaps on it as it is sensitive. try not to exfoliate it every day.
remember to clean your makeup brushes every 2 weeks, with just warm water and shampoo/soap.
don’t store your makeup or brushes in the bathroom as this is the most unhygenic room in the house and the damp conditions can cause mould to grow on the brushes over time.
make sure you clean the packaging on your actual makeup too. if you’ve been ill and you’ve been touching your makeup, you could be prone to getting ill again when you use it.
if you want whiter teeth, use a whitening toothpaste 2-3 times a week.
For whiter teeth I use a bamboo toothbrush with charcoal infused bristles and charcoal toothpaste! It works really well for me
When you have dry skin that is flaking off, use a CLEAN spoolie brush (the curly eyebrow/eyelashes one) to gently remove the dead skin so it’s less visible
Ok so I realized I had a problem with bacne when I was hooking up with a guy and he had soft, flawless skin, making me self conscious. So I looked up some tips to get rid of bacne and I found out that one of the main causes of it is hair products! Hair products are designed to stay in your hair so when you wash them out against your back, they stick to your back and clog up your pores. In order to remedy this, WASH YOUR HAIR PRODUCTS OUT BEFORE LTHING YOUR BODY WITH SOAP I’ve been doing this for a week or so and my bacne is almost all gone! Plus my skin is softer than ever, even softer than the guy I hooked up with This is a SUPER EASY way to get rid of bacne! Try it for yourself and let me know how it goes! I know this sounds like an ad but clearly it’s not cause I’m not selling anything, I’m just excited about my clear skin and I want to share this with the world

• Release the tension in your shoulders • Do some neck stretches • Stop holding tension in your jaw • Take a few deep breaths • Breathe and stretch if you are wearing a binder
Being in college I’ve learned how crucial self talk is. I just broke up with what I thought was a really nice guy. But I was hurting, and alone. My family and most friends were asleep. So I had to go breath by breath for a while because it just hurt. It’s okay if it hurts. You just gotta go take care of you. For me that was sitting in my car on a heated seat and crying for a bit. Self care takes on a lot of forms. Do what works
those posts like ‘how to be a real life angel’ that tell you to douse yourself in chanel perfume and only use dior makeup and dress in silks and satins, promote the most absurd level of self-obsession and materialism and are complete and utter bullshit, just fyi. if you want to be angelic or fairy-like or whatever, you don’t need to be able to afford givenchy and spend entire days at a time in spa treatments. be kind, open your bedroom windows to let in the fresh air, every once in a while sleep with the curtains open so you can see the stars at night, pick wildflowers on your way home and stick them in a glass on your desk, maybe give the money you were going to use to buy yourself a coffee to someone you walk past who needs it more than you do. being ethereal comes from within. you don’t need to eat macarons while having a manicure to feel so. really.
If not, have a glass of water. Have you eaten in the past three hours? If not, get some food — something with protein, not just simple carbs. Perhaps some nuts or hummus?
Have you showered in the past day?
If not, take a shower right now. Have you stretched your legs in the past day? If not, do so right now. If you don’t have the energy for a run or trip to the gym, just walk around the block, then keep walking as long as you please. If the weather’s crap, drive to a big box store (e.g. Target) and go on a brisk walk through the aisles you normally skip.
Have you said something nice to someone in the past day?
Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine; wait until you see something really wonderful about someone, and tell them about it.
Have you moved your body to music in the past day?
If not, jog for the length of an EDM song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around the room for the length of an upbeat song.
Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?
If not, do so. Don’t be afraid to ask for hugs from friends or friends’ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; you’re not imposing on them.
Have you seen a therapist in the past few days?
If not, hang on until your next therapy visit and talk through things then. Have you changed any of your medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand? That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesn’t settle down.
If daytime: are you dressed?
If not, put on clean clothes that aren’t pajamas. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether it’s a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress.
If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep?
Put on pajamas, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes — no electronic screens allowed. If you’re still awake after that, you can get up again; no pressure.
Do you feel ineffective?
Pause right now and get something small completed, whether it’s responding to an e-mail, loading up the dishwasher, or packing your gym bag for your next trip. Good job!
Do you feel unattractive?
Take a goddamn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look, and you’ll help fight society’s restrictions on what beauty can look like.
Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?
Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial.
Have you over-exerted yourself lately — physically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually?
That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether it’s physical rest, taking time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment.
Have you waited a week?
Sometimes our perception of life is skewed, and we can’t even tell that we’re not thinking clearly, and there’s no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then.
You’ve made it this far, and you will make it through. You are stronger than you think.
I’m fucking tired of seeing all these posts and blogs by aspiring, newbie or fake blogs talking about “gross or ugly SD’s or Clients". The reason we get paid the rates or allowances we do is because we’re doing something (more like someone) most people DON’T WANT.
Let me clear this up for you pretty, naive little girls: This is the SEX industry, meaning YOU are the sexually desired, and THEY are the consumer.
With the small exception of about 5% being the attractive/young men with a ton of money they probably didn’t earn, the rest has a reason why they’re looking to HIRE you. I will repeat, yes there will be exceptions that are not that unattractive or old but again, those are the exception NOT THE RULE.
Realistically, why would a gorgeous, wealthy man not date normal women he doesn’t have to say that he paid for when women are lining around the block for him? That would be like you fucking these old, crusty ass dudes for free when you’ve already won the lottery. Wouldn’t your young and beautiful self just date men your age then?
Take it from someone who’s been in the industry for several years now. Most of your clients will not even rate a 3-4 on a 1-10 scale when compared to vanilla men your age.
There will be: •morbidly obese men •men old enough to be your grandfather •ones with terrible hygiene •definitely rude and entitled jackasses that will make you secretly hate yourself sometimes •wrinkles, wrinkles and wrinkles •sandpaper French kisses •some with body odor that cologne can’t cover up •scraggly, hairy chests •balding scalps with few strands left held on by his last shred of dignity •moments when you tower over your very short SD or client
and it is YOUR job to: •make them feel sexy, adored and in love. •make them come •hold their hand in public •even kiss them so often infront of people, regardless of your 30+ gap •be able to have the mental strength to withstand the judgmental sneers and glances. •get dressed up in lingerie for them •let them touch and grope you •pretend to enjoy it when they go down on you •giggle at his terrible jokes •make out with them when they’re basically treating your entire face like an ice cream cone •maybe be forced to watch yourself have sex in the mirror he chose for the suite •convince him his dick is probably as good as his son’s
All these dumbass girls with their heads up their asses literally believe the fake accounts on here. Do you really think making more than an average person’s weekly checks in a few hours is that easy? Yes, there are exceptions where the SD/Clients aren’t that bad. BUT, it takes seeing dozens of the expected type of client before ACCIDENTALLY running into an exception.
I see too many barely legal girls sitting on Tumblr believing they can just quit school, and every Brad Pitt on the site will come along and hand them 5k for MUTUALLY satisfying sex.
Listen, if you’re not able to prepare yourself and be able to walk into a hotel room with a man (age 35-99) that’s a 2 on a 1-10, you don’t have what it takes to pull in high income as the girls you’re envying.
This is not easy work.
There’s always a price to pay for everything, especially money.

As some of my followers have helpfully pointed out, lemon juice and baking soda CAN be harmful to your skin if used excessively or on the wrong skin type. Please be cautious using these ingredients. I personally have TRIED all of these masks myself, I’m never gonna post stuff like this without guaranteeing it works. I had no problems with either ingredient, my skin looked and felt fine, but that is not a guarantee that the same will pertain to you. Please be careful, test any dicey products or ingredients on your hand or arm and make sure that they are not abrasive before applying to your skin, and perhaps lessen the concentration of these ingredients when making these masks if you still choose to make them. Thank you to everyone for reblogging with the reminder that some ingredients can be harmful, I completely forgot to add that disclaimer. Stay safe hoes
honey face masks for different types of skin issues
a mask to help with acne-prone skin & existing damage — 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of plain wholemilk yogurt, 2 tablespoons of fresh milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lukewarm water.
a mask to help with dry skin — 1 teaspoon of mashed avocado, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of plain wholemilk yogurt.
a mask to help with scars and dark spots — 2 teaspoons of honey and ½ a teaspoon of lemon juice.
a mask to help with moisturising dry skin — 1 teaspoon of mashed avocado, 1 teaspoon of plain wholemilk yogurt, 1 teaspoon of honey.
for honey masks, raw, unfiltered honey is better because it retains most of its potent healing properties! also, keep in mind that scars and acne are nothing to be ashamed of!
Be careful not to add too much lemon juice as it can damage your skin
