pls describe ur bf๐ญi am such a bookworm and also want him to be exactly like all my book bfs
ODJFISBOMGG OKAYY
okay okay LISTENNN, this man was made up ๐ญ he has the same first, last and NICKNAME of my favorite book bf. he doesnโt need to know this but maybe iโll gift him an annotated version of the book and be like โoh my god what a coincadinkโฆ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ซฃ๐คชโ our subconscious really has our back with the perfect details ????
heโs 6โ3, his build is chefs kiss. heโs really sweet, confident, overprotective, cocky ew jk in a good way yk iโm gonna stop now, he wasnโt looking for anyone/interested in a relationship because of his past and he recently just moved to the state from his home country a few months ago but he approached me first. HE WAS IN A SUIT. A SUITโฆโฆ iโm gonna faint. i looked really good that day too so that day was beyond perfect. he ofc, has his own group of friends that are protective yet goofy mfs. theyโre all different which makes it fun to see them interact and banter like little kids lol. heโs really romantic too. iโve never been in a relationship before so he took it really slow and easy, making sure i felt comfortable bc i may or may not have said โi hate men ๐น๐นโ infront of him on the day we met. BUT TO BE FAIR I WAS HAVING A CONVO WITH MY FRIEND LMAOO
heโs really understanding, weโre two different people but we have troubled pasts that makes us connect. when iโm with him, i feel safe and seen. no one has ever had my back my whole life like he does. because of our different interests, my favorite thing about us is that we enthusiastically talk about it with each other and teach each other different things all the time. i swear, it will never get old. heโs a business man so he automatically has that dominate/upper hand aura to him.
o and he has an audi.
I. LOVE. AUDIS.

โก skin & hair care:
it removes impurities & build up, and dandruff. with my naturally sensitive scalp and wavy/curly hair, i am constantly bleaching my roots and changing the color of my hair so this is a must.
โก my skin care rules:
always, alwayssssss always sunscreen on my face, neck, and hands no matter the season and weather! so many forget the neck and hands too.
alwaysย enjoy this moment of pampering. say affirmations, play calming music, wear my silk robe bc iโm literally filming for vogue beauty secrets, complement myself in the mirror on how iโm the most beautiful person ever, iโm smart, kind, gentle, and resilient. iโm proud of myself and i will keep making history.
donโt rub your face roughly (or at all)
never touch your face. only after youโve washed your hands! after i wash my face i refuse to touch anything besides my face towel (thatโs kept out of the bathroom) donโt touch your phone, doorknobs, drawersโฆ nothing.ย
if youโre applying moisturizer, massaging your face, or wiping off makeup with a cotton pad, always move upwards, never downwards.
be gentle with your face pls
always apply skincare on my neck and chestย
โก bi-weekly + monthly
root touch ups + color change

here is a post with my skin care recommendations. note that i obvi donโt use all of these products at once. i usually rotate or use specific products depending on the season & weathers, and how iโm feeling.
this all isnโt really necessary for me because of my beauty manifestations but pampering is always a lovely routine i enjoy โก and i figured why not make a routine for those who want to know!
schoolwork:
study hard
take cute notes
get good grades
stay out of drama
be respectful and kind to everyone
work hard and stay motivated
appearance:

stay positive
be yourself!
