no idea how to be a girl

so I had a rough childhood and after 22 years I'm finally out of survival mode. and now that I'm out of survival mode I want to start thriving.

a combination of that plus postpartum depression has left me lost.

I want to start doing my hair, makeup, and nails but have no idea where to start haha.

Right now a full face of makeup is mascara, concealer, and blush.

so if you were me, what would you change?

Navigating identity and personal transformation can be challenging, especially after overcoming tough life experiences. Many find it difficult to embrace beauty routines, whether due to lack of knowledge or self-doubt. Starting small is key; begin with simple makeup looks and gradually build your skills. YouTube and beauty blogs are fantastic resources for tutorials on hair, makeup, and nails. Explore the world of self-care, where taking care of your appearance can also nurture your mental health. Finding communities online can provide encouragement and inspiration as you embark on this journey. Remember, it's about your comfort and confidence; there are no right or wrong approaches. Celebrate every step forward, no matter how small, and enjoy the process of discovering what makes you feel beautiful inside and out.

Some jewelry always makes me feel especially girly and fancy. Some subtle studs or small chunky hoops would be pretty. A simple thin chain necklace w a pendant as well. Jewelry easily elevates any look without having to go through too much hassle

Honestly you’re gorgeous already!! The only thing I would do as a pick-me-up is go thrifting or shopping for clothes that make me feel confident and pretty 🫶🏻
