Wrote this in 2009! Posted it up on Facebook under Notes. Why not share this awesome thoughts and tips of mine for us girls! We awesome yo!
Being a girl is fun. Though I must admit the period part sucks. The pain and discomfort that we have to go through are so not funny at all.
I love being a girl as we can play dress up a lot. Slap on the make up to look pretty and always being able to shop without a reason. I have some basic rules that I follow religiously and try to do in being a girl. It’s just something in life that I find important. Guys love a girl who takes care of themselves and takes pride in themselves as well. Love yourself girls and have pride and dignity for you.
Let’s start from the top.
HAIR
1. Wash your hair as often as you can. Especially if you have oily hair or oily scalp.
2. Invest in a good shampoo, conditioner and hair cream. Pay a bit more for a better shampoo to get stunning hair.
3. Brush it, so it doesn’t tangle. Guys love smooth and soft hair. They’d want to run their fingers through it.
4. Cut your hair to frame and highlight your features.
5. Colour your roots on a monthly basis so it does not look odd.
6. Never leave home with wet hair.
SKIN
1. Cleanse tone and moisturize everyday.
2. Wash your face at least twice a day.
3. Remember to always remove your make up thoroughly.
4. Scrub the face once a week at least.
5. Mask the face once a week at the minimum.
6. Use a facial tissue to wipe it dry. Toilet papers are rough on the skin.
FACE
1. Always keep your eyebrows trimmed and groomed. It makes a big impact on the face.
2. Curl the eyelashes before you step out of the house. It perks the face instantly ;p
3. Make up yourself whenever you’re going out. A guy may always claim that a girl is pretty when she is natural and without make up. But his jaws drops at a hot girl with make up on. A little blusher and a hint of lip gloss won’t hurt.
4. If you’re eyes are your assets. Paint it with colours or circle it with eyeliners. But remember don’t over due it at the lips. Keep the rest minimal.
5. If you have lusciously full lips, opt for drastic lips with minimal make up else where.
6. Highlight them cheekbones with bronzers, blusher or highlighters.
7. For fair skin go for sweet pink hues. For tan skin go bronze, gold or orange.
8. Oh yes, please don’t forget to powder the neck. So it does not stand out too much from the face.
9. Invest in a good foundation and powder. So it matches your skin tone.
BODY
1. Use a good shower cream or gel. If you like them in bar form. Get a good one.
2. Deodorants are a necessity. Never leave home without wearing them. It does wonders.
3. Remember to lather lotion on yourself after every shower. It keeps your skin moisturized and subtle.
4. If you are going to be exposed in the sun for long, please do not forget your sun block. Preferably water based.
5. Cologne or perfume is up to you actually. It’s a good habit though.
BODY HAIR
1. Always shave or wax your legs. It makes you feel confident and sexy. It’s freaky for a guy to see girls with hair just as much as theirs. Haha.
2. Do not forget to pluck, shave or wax those armpit hairs. It isn’t sexy if you are wearing sleeveless and you have hair there.
3. Pubic hair – keep it trimmed, waxed, shaved or whatever you like. As long as it does not creep out your panties and pants. It is not a pretty sight to be seen.
4. If you have long arm hair. Do not be ashamed of it. You didn’t ask god to make you hairy. Instead, you could get it waxed, shaved or removed via laser. Or just deal with it.
NAILS
1. Please remember to remove them chipped nail polishes. It’s tacky.
2. If you like long nails, keep it in shaped. Not too long or you’d look like a skanky prostitute.
3. If you like them short, don’t forget to trim them away.
4. If you have long nails, don’t let the tips go yellow. If it does, it’s cutting time.
5. As for the toe nails, don’t keep it too long as it can break easily and also don’t start collecting dirt. It’s disgusting.
FEET
1. Don’t forget to scrub your feet.
2. Use a pumice stone to soften the heels.
CLOTHES
1. Always wear clean and ironed clothes.
2. Wear clothes that flatter your figure and not what is in fashion.
3. Not everything that looks nice on a model or in the catalogue looks nice on you.
4. NEVER clash prints with prints.
5. Jeans are a wardrobe must.
6. Try the outfit and check yourself in the mirror.
7. Check if the hemline is too short and reveals unwanted coffee shop to the world.
8. Wear tights or shorts if the dress is too short.
9. Wear a tube top or singlet if the top is revealing unwanted bra or cleavage.
UNDERGARMENT
1. Always have a black bra and black panties if you are wearing a black outfit.
2. Wear skin tone or white bra if you are wearing a white top.
3. NEVER wear grandma’s panties.
4. Buy a pantie that fits and collects your ass.
5. Wear support panties, if your ass droops or needs support.
6. Wear a thong if you’re wearing white pants. Or wear skin coloured or white panties.
7. If you’re wearing a short that’s tad too short, wear a panty that matches or wear box shorts or girl boxers.
8. When you’re wearing stockings, wear the same colour panties. If the stockings is loose, wear a small little tights inside and tuck the stockings inwards.
SHOES & HANDBAGS
1. A girl can never have too many of these.
2. Black shoes and bags are a basic necessity.
3. You must have a pair of black slippers, black sandals, black pumps, black flats and black heels.
4. Buy shoes or bags that are not too outstanding if you don’t own much shoes to match. A contrast is not always good.
5. Invest in good long lasting handbags.
6. Carry a big bag when you go shopping. Carry a small dinner bag for those night outs. Sling bags are great to the clubs or clutches too.
7. Wear the right sure for the right event. Don’t try wearing heels to a beach or outdoor event. Don’t play yourself as a fool.
ACCESSORIES
1. It adds character to an outfit.
2. Don’t overdo it. Keep it minimal.
3. Don’t pair gold with silver.
4. Loops are the safest bet.
