Kimmy’s Digital Diary: I owe it to myself to be the best version of me possible

‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. ‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾.‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾.

As we step into the new year of 2024, I think to myself ‘what can I do differently in 2024?’ I’m not one to sit on my hands and wait until a new year started to make changes to my life but I would be lying if I didn't say that the sparkle surrounding the prospect of being an entirely new person in january while reflecting on the year in december didn’t excite me. I’ve been taking my vitamins, getting my ass in the gym, solidifying my beauty routines and trying to become an all around ‘it girl’. BUT it's time to wholeheartedly embrace the essence of the 'it girl era' with even more aggression and tenacity than before. Being mediocre has never been in my cards and I want so much out of this life that I have to do more.

The Enchantment of Your Signature Beauty Routine

The first thing I had to get right was my natural look. My go-to ‘If i have 5 minutes to be outside can I I do it?’ signature makeup look. And this is from someone who just started learning about makeup in 2016…where we did full faces and the thickest eyebrows possible. I had to think about what I wanted my staples to be that would always be in my collection. Now I’m a girl who likes a nice dewy look and whenever I wear makeup people don't even know I’m wearing it!

Think of makeup not merely as a beauty enhancer, but as a canvas for self-expression. Whether you resonate with the 'less is more' philosophy, cherishing a dewy no-makeup makeup look, or you're a glamour enthusiast who wouldn't part with her winged eyeliner for anything, your makeup style is an extension of your identity.

My personal go-tos for my 10 minute routine

SETTING SPRAY

Yet, the magic doesn't end there. Scents have an enchanting ability to stir emotions and weave memories. Do you find joy in the freshness of citrus, the elegance of roses, or does the warm, comforting aroma of vanilla speak to your soul? Discovering your signature scent is like leaving traces of your personal brand in every room you enter.

And do not forget to LAYER YOUR FRAGRANCES GIRL.

From the shower gel, to the body lotion to the perfume combinations. Make sure your notes match to create a custom signature scent that will have everybody asking you what fragrance you’re wearing. But we all know, pretty girls don’t share those combinations.

And then, there's your unique style. Whether it aligns with classic chic, boho vibes, or the boldness of street style, your fashion choices should resonate with your personality and instill a sense of empowerment within you.

You don’t have to conform to Tiktok niches but you can mix and match those styles until you get one that feels authentic to YOU. Remember, it’s better to have your own aesthetic than trying to keep up with trends that don't match your personality.

Goal-Getting: Your Moment is Now

Let's shift gears and talk about pursuing your aspirations with unyielding determination. It's the perfect time to outline major goals for the first quarter of the year. Dreaming of launching your own business? Let's sketch out the plan. Eyeing that well-deserved promotion? Let's craft the path towards it. This is undeniably your year, your time to radiate brilliance. Always remember, every achievement begins with the courage to take that first step.

Here are a few tips to staying on top of your studies in 2024:

Use the pomodoro method - its much easier to break things down into smaller chunks than sitting down for hours studying

Invest in cute study supplies (trust me it makes a difference)

Set a study schedule and stick to it

Practice ‘recall’

Have a study scent - to help with recall. Memories are triggered by scent!

Mind and Body Wellness: Embrace Strength Training and Pilates

Exercise is more than sculpting the perfect physique; it's about decluttering your mind and discovering the incredible strength within. Introducing workouts like strength training and Pilates into your routine can be truly transformative.

Strength training empowers you, fostering a sense of strength and capability, and guess what? It contributes to maintaining a harmonious metabolism. On the other hand, Pilates transcends physical fitness; it's an intricate dance between mind and body. Improving flexibility, posture, and even mental wellness, Pilates is a holistic embrace of your well-being.

Let's get into it, The Action Steps

Here's your glow-up game plan:

Curate a beauty regimen that is an authentic reflection of YOU. Remember, it's not about following trends; it's about celebrating what makes YOU feel stunning.

Chart out ambitious goals for Q1. Break them down into manageable tasks and start the journey towards realizing them. Your dreams are deserving of your pursuit.

Infuse strength training and Pilates into your fitness routine. Your body and mind will express gratitude for the nurturing care.

Remember, the path to becoming the best version of yourself is a steady journey, not a hurried sprint. Take each step with intention, celebrate every small victory, and, most importantly, embrace your unique beauty and strength. Here's to a luminous and confident 2024 ✨

Kimmy's Digital Diary: things are better than they seem because i'm in control of my reality.

i think it's easy to start spiralling after one thing goes wrong in life.

"I didn't start this habit on this day, therefore I'm a failure"

"I haven't accomplished this yet so I'm never gonna get there"

"I don't know what to do"

And then the decision paralysis comes in and I freeze.

tick tock tick tock - time is ticking and I know I need to make a decision or do something but I'm so scared of my next move I don't do anything at all.

But then I remember - I'm in control of my reality. I choose what and how everything will play out. If I want to be that girl, I can become that girl by believing I am and showing up as her.

So I needed to get in the habit of tracking my habits because we all know that knowing what you want makes it that much easier to manifest

Becoming 'THAT' GIRL

Haircare Regimen

monthly hair dates – because a fresh braid set can fix anything✨

maintaining my braids using hot oil treatments and hair masks at home

finding hair products that vibe with my texture, not just the viral stuff.

Fitness Regimen

gym time at least 3x a week – gotta keep this ass I've worked hard for

move for at least 10 minutes daily, even if it's not a full-on workout.

Skincare Regimen

doing morning and nighttime routines everyday

finding products that work for my skin concerns (if you guys want i'll share my skincare routine i have combination/oily skin)

getting a facial once a month

Study Regimen

finding new courses to study every quarter.

setting aside 1hr every day to study something new

And a little reminder: Next time you're feeling down for not being where you want to be, just remember – as long as you're showing up and striving to be better than yesterday, you're doing just fine. 💖

it doesn't have to be perfect. you just have to start. - fighting perfectionism

becoming that girl is all about the little things you do in your routine

you have to be dedicated to becoming a better version of yourself and show up for yourself even when you don't feel like it.

it's a new month

- map out your goals and make sure you stay on top of it. you're the only person standing in the way of your success

i am studious. i am smart. i can accomplish all of my goals. i am a dedicated learner. i am not just intelligent; i am wise

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

I have the dedication, determination, and intelligence to make it happen. With every hour I invest in my studies, I am one step closer to reaching my dreams. I embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, and I trust in my ability to overcome any obstacle that comes my way. My mind is a powerhouse of knowledge and creativity, and I am unstoppable in my pursuit of success.

BECOMING THE WOMAN YOU WANT

Imagine the woman you want to become. Envision her embracing a lifestyle woven with healthy habits that radiate positivity and well-being. Picture her waking up early, greeting the day with gratitude, and setting intentions that shape her mindset for success.

In her daily routine, she prioritizes self-care—nourishing her body with wholesome meals, staying hydrated, and indulging in regular exercise that she genuinely enjoys. Whether it's a morning yoga session, an evening run, or a dance class, physical activity is not a chore but a celebration of what her body can achieve.

This woman values the power of mindfulness. Picture her taking moments throughout the day to breathe deeply, practice meditation, or simply appreciate the present. It's in these mindful pauses that she finds clarity, resilience, and a profound connection with herself.

As she moves through her day, healthy habits extend into her work life. This woman is organized and efficient, using time management techniques to tackle tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Regular breaks and moments of reflection help her maintain focus and creativity.

Evenings are a sanctuary for winding down. She cherishes a good night's sleep, prioritizing rest as a cornerstone of her well-being. Unplugging from screens, engaging in calming activities, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule contribute to the rejuvenation her body and mind need.

Remember, becoming her doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process, a collection of intentional choices and persistent efforts. Start incorporating these healthy habits, step by step, and watch as you evolve into the empowered, balanced woman you aspire to be. 🌿💪🌺🌟

KIMMY'S DIGITAL DIARY

Sometimes I forget I'm still young and have a whole life ahead of me. I can slow down, I don't have to worry as much as I do.

If I change my state and just decide that I'm exactly where I want to be the opportunities will find their ways to me.

tips for manifesting your dream life

this obvi are some tips i've been using as a beginner and everyone's method of manifesting is different but these have helped me so much!!

so i hope you enjoy them, and i hope everything works out for you (i know it will)

mwah,

💋

if you want it, you got it - think like you already have it

"If you want it, you got it." Seriously, repeat it like it's your daily affirmation. The key to mastering the Law of Assumption is to think and act as if your desires are already yours. Picture this: you want that dream job, right? Instead of fretting about how you'll get it, start embodying the mindset of someone who already has it. Visualize yourself strutting into that office like you own the place, crushing every task with confidence, and celebrating your successes like the badass you are! The universe picks up on that energy, and before you know it, you'll be living your dream life.

write it down, write it down, write it down

Here's where the REAL magic happens: journaling. Yup, you heard me right. Grab that cute notebook and start jotting down your manifestations like your life depends on it. Write them in the present tense as if they've already come true. Pour your heart and soul into those pages, infusing them with passion and positivity. And here's a pro tip: don't just stop at writing once. Make it a daily habit to revisit your manifestations, adding new ones, tweaking old ones, and basking in the joy of watching them unfold before your eyes. i love my journal so much!!! every morning when i do my daily gratitude i write things that i'm grateful for that i want to manifest and write it as though i already have it and im happy to have it in my life.

i've even been able to go back to old entries and see when manifestations came true!! i manifested the current job im in and moving in with my bf <3

figure out how you manifest best

Manifesting isn't a one-size-fits-all kinda thing and it looks different for everybody! Take some time to figure out what works best for you bs this is about YOU. Maybe it's visualization, where you close your eyes and imagine every detail of your dream life with crystal clarity. Or perhaps it's affirmations, where you recite powerful statements that affirm your desires and boost your confidence.

it might even be a combination of different techniques! The key is to experiment, play around, and listen to your intuition. After all, nobody knows your manifesting strategy better than you do. let it come to you, it'll feel right once you find something that makes sense.

Remember, the power to manifest your dreams lies within you, so go forth and create the life you've always dreamed of. You got this!

After a productive day sticking to my routine of morning meditation, a hearty breakfast, a Pilates workout to strengthen my body and mind, a midday walk for fresh air and clarity, manifesting abundance through visualization, a nourishing dinner, winding down with herbal tea, and slipping into bed with clean sheets, a lavender-scented pillow, and a gratitude journal by my side.

KIMMY'S DIGITAL DIARY

after a good gym sesh, sticking to my morning/evening routines, and taking time to ground myself through journaling, I feel like I've unlocked a new level inner peace and happiness i didn't think was possible.

but that happens a lot when you're consistent with yourself and stay on track of your goals. there are no excuses to behave any other way because the woman i want to be wouldn't act that way.

i make time to stay educated, and stay connected to my spirituality. this keeps me grounded and inspires my journey.

affirmations for this week

i am a forever student, dedicated to expanding my knowledge.

i am a powerhouse, and with every move, i affirm my strength, resilience, and commitment to my well-being.

I AM THE CREATOR OF MY REALITY

affirmations for becoming that girl

Every dream I harbor is a seed of potential, ready to bloom into reality.

Intelligence and creativity are the twin architects of my aspirations.

I demand respect and kindness, cultivating a garden of positivity in my life.

Love surrounds me like a warm embrace, and I am worthy of every ounce.

The journey unfolds perfectly; I trust in the timing of my own narrative.

Self-compassion is my sanctuary, a constant reminder of my deserving heart.

KIMMY'S DIGITAL DIARY

i'm obsessed with becoming better and this isn't in a completely selfish way (although it 90% is). i wanted to becoming a better community member. i wanted to show up even more than i knew i could for my loved ones.

i'm becoming more disciplined and sticking to my routines no matter the mood. i'm more diligent with my work. i'm more intentional when reaching out and reaching out more often. i feel so connected and calm and supported.

it's a nice feeling, being able to feel so much love at once. i consider myself very lucky.

KIMMY'S DIGITAL DIARY

not everyday is going to be perfect. there are weeks where i struggle to show up as the best version of myself. sometimes i don't stick to my routine as much as i should have, but i don't beat myself up about it.

why?

beating myself up does nothing. if i didn't do it i already feel bad so why not use positive self redirection to help me show up better tomorrow? i can reflect at the end of the ay to identify my pain points and try again the next day.

in the chapters of my journey, mistakes are not closures but verses, helping me compose new skills to conquer the world.

🕊 habits to adopt this week (pick one!):

daily gratitude

7-9 cups of water a day

daily movement for 15 minutes

make up your bed daily

read for 15 minutes a day

🗝️ affirmations for the week:

i affirm my ability to cultivate habits that serve my highest good, knowing that small, consistent actions lead to lasting transformation

i embrace imperfection as a natural part of life's journey, knowing that every setback is an opportunity for growth.

i release self-judgment for not always sticking to routines, focusing instead on positive self-redirection.
