Becoming That Girl (in a way that feels right for you)🌸✨

✨Your Affirmation of the Week✨

“I am evolving into the best version of myself, at my own pace and in my own way.”

There was a time when I thought becoming that girl meant waking up at 5 AM, drinking green juice, and having a life that looked straight out of a Pinterest board. But if we’re being honest? Half the time, I just wanted to hit snooze, and the other half, I was questioning if celery juice was really worth the hype.

If you’ve ever felt like the whole that girl aesthetic is more about perfection than actual self-growth, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: being that girl isn’t about rigid routines or aesthetic matcha lattes—it’s about becoming your best self in a way that feels real, sustainable, and exciting to you.

It’s about choosing small habits that make you feel good, prioritizing yourself, and stepping into your main character energy your way.

So, let’s forget the pressure to be perfect and focus on little ways to feel like her—the version of you that’s confident, radiant, and unapologetically herself. Ready? Let’s get into it. ✨

5 Ways to Better Become That Girl 💋

1. Create a Morning Ritual That Feels Luxurious ☀️

Not a 5 AM wake-up person? Me neither, and that’s fine. But how you start your day matters. Whether it’s a slow morning with a warm cup of tea or coffee, stretching in the sunlight, listening to affirmations or blasting your hot girl playlist or a playlist for quiet mornings—find something that feels good and sets the tone for the day.

2. Prioritize Feeling Good in Your Body ☁️

Movement doesn’t have to be an intense gym session. A 30-minute incline treadmill runway walk (I like to pretend I am in a Victoria's Secret fashion show), A hot-girl walk, Pilates in your living room, or even dancing around while getting ready all count. The key? Move in a way that makes you feel alive.

3. Upgrade Your Everyday Aesthetic 🎀

This isn’t about buying a whole new wardrobe—it’s about intention. A spritz of perfume, finding a new go-to hairstyle that perfectly frames your face, matching loungewear… little details that make you feel put together even when you are just sitting at home by yourself.

4. Romanticize Your Daily Habits 🍓

Light a candle while working. Make homemade cookies. Take yourself on coffee dates. Play your favorite podcast or playlist while organizing your space. It’s all about making the ordinary feel special.

5. Set Clear Boundaries & Protect Your Peace 🛑

That girl doesn’t drain her energy over things (or people) that don’t serve her. Whether it’s muting notifications or saying no to things that don’t align—choose you.

P.S. Okay, so here’s the thing—I had been working on a super fun Treat Yourself gift guide, but time got the best of me, and I didn’t get to share it before Valentine’s Day. But honestly… who says the only time you can buy yourself gifts is on Valentine’s Day? Absolutely no one.

If you’re still in the mood to indulge in a little retail therapy (because you deserve it), let me know! I’d be more than happy to share the blog post. Think of it as your permission slip to spoil yourself just because. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll make it happen! 💌✨
