World.
Tiny passages on skincare, body rituals, fragrance know-how + the occasional dumb joke. Come back when you're bored on the toilet.

moisturize on damp skin, bestie
Right after the shower your skin is basically a wet sponge. Slap on butter creme or body oil within 60 seconds β it traps the water in instead of letting it evaporate. That's how you get the β¨glazeβ¨, not just a greasy film.

spray it, don't rub it
Rubbing perfume into your wrist crushes the top notes (the citrus + sparkly stuff). Spray once, walk through the cloud, let it dry. Pulse points for warmth: wrists, neck, behind the knees. Yes, behind the knees. Trust.
body ritualπ―
the 3-step glaze
1. Sugar scrub in the shower (twice a week, not daily β chill). 2. Pat dry, leave a little damp. 3. Butter creme everywhere, body oil on shins, collarbone, top of feet. You will look airbrushed. You will smell like a snack.
joke breakπ―οΈ
why did the perfume break up with the candle?
It said the relationship had no top notes and the vibes kept burning out. The candle replied: 'you literally evaporate every 4 hours.' Brutal. Both single now.

SPF is a body thing too
Your chest, hands, and the back of your neck age the fastest because nobody sunscreens them. Stop. Put it on the bits that show. Future you in tank top szn says thank you.

perfume vs eau de parfum vs cologne
Parfum = 20%+ oil, lasts all day, lightly slaps you around. EDP = 15-20%, the sweet spot. EDT/cologne = 5-15%, fresh + flirty + reapply at lunch. We do EDP because we're not cowards.

dry brush before the shower
60 seconds, long strokes toward the heart. Wakes up circulation, exfoliates, and makes butter creme absorb deeper. It's giving 'I have my life together' even on days you absolutely do not.

shower thoughts β¦
If your scrub doesn't smell good enough to eat, what are we even doing. (Do not eat the scrub. We had to add this. One of you tried.)

layering = science, not vibes
Thin to thick, water to oil. So: mist β serum β lotion β butter creme β oil β SPF (am) or sleep mask (pm). Skip the order and the heavier stuff blocks the lighter stuff. We don't gatekeep.
