    Invest in a silk pillowcase and silk scrunchies. Tie your hair up before you sleep. Learn to be happy doing stuff on your own. Happiness attracts happiness. Doing stuff that makes you happy will attract happy people.

    If you're prone to emotional shopping (I can't advise you not to, as I know I still do this) buy 2 gift cards for yourself. One for cosmetics and one for clothes. Use these as credit cards. Top them up on payday and this is the only thing you use to buy 'non essentials'. It keeps money in your bank and stops you making 'if I eat cereal for 5 days, I can buy those shoes/lipstick' if it's not on the card, you can't buy it anyway.

    miranda-the-dog-mom 8 mo. ago. edited 8 mo. ago Take care of your body! You only get one. My mom always said to treat it as if I was guest here - caring for myself with eating well, keeping stress in check, exercising, lots of self love. Wear the pretty underwear and bra set. Don't wait for a special occasion.

    Dress with intention, but never ever sacrifice comfort. If your hair is feeling extra lifeless and gross do a baking soda/water mix rinse followed by an apple cider vinegar/water mix rinse. Thoroughly rinse after. Bubble baths with candles and your fav song or podcast are magic.
