Let’s talk about embracing your inner girly girl 💖 If that’s something you’ve been feeling called toward lately, you’re in the right place! In this post, I’m diving into how your outer and inner appearance and style can help set the tone for stepping into your soft, feminine energy.
1. Presentation Matters
How you present yourself truly sets the tone for what you’re putting out into the world. That doesn’t mean being perfect—it means being intentional. One of the easiest ways to start? Your nails.
I get mine done every two weeks (sparkly is always my personal fave ✨). If you’re not into glitter, even a clean, classic manicure can make you feel polished and put together. Just having tidy, well-maintained hands makes such a difference.
2. Your Signature Scent
You know that feeling when someone walks past and they just smell like they’ve got their life together? Yeah, that. Pick a signature scent that speaks to you. Mine is a mix of vanilla and coconut—romantic, timeless, and a little flirty. It makes me feel girly and grounded.
You want something that leaves a soft impression as you pass by—feminine and memorable.
3. Style Your Wardrobe for You
Now’s the time to reassess your closet. Ask yourself: What makes me feel feminine? What makes me feel like the main character? It’s okay to have comfy pieces for chores or errands, but don’t be afraid to add dresses, skirts, or even workout clothes (hello, tennis dress!) that bring out your soft, confident side.
I personally love having a few tennis dresses in rotation for when I work out or run errands. They’re comfy, cute, and make me feel like that girl.
4. Create an Aesthetic Life
You’re the main character. So treat your life like it! From your skincare routine to your sheets and pajamas, romanticize your environment. Soft, clean sheets. Cozy, cute pajamas. Light a candle. Turn on your fairy lights. It’s not just about how it looks—it’s about how it feels.
5. Keep Skincare Simple (But Consistent)
I used to do a 10-step routine, but honestly? Simple is better. These days I stick to 4-5 steps that really work for me.
The key is consistency—not perfection. Cleanser, toner, moisturizer, SPF, and maybe one treatment serum. That’s it. Oh—and drink your water, girl. Hydration is ✨everything✨.
Go chug a glass right now. I’ll wait.
6. Move in a Way That Makes You Feel Beautiful
Whether it’s lifting, yoga, or a group class like Body Pump, choose workouts that make you feel confident and strong. You don’t need to feel beautiful during (let’s be real, I’m a sweaty mess lol), but afterward? Absolutely.
7. Speak with Kindness and Intention
One of the most beautiful things about feminine energy is the kindness that flows from it. Start speaking to yourself—and others—with love. Words carry energy. Make yours soft, but strong.
That means giving yourself grace, using gentler words, and choosing love over judgment—even when it’s hard.
8. Boundaries Are Beautiful
Being feminine isn’t about being a pushover. It’s about knowing your worth. Set boundaries with grace, but be firm. Know what you will and won’t accept. That’s part of honoring your softness.
Boundaries protect your peace and help you stay aligned with your feminine energy.
9. Journal It Out
Your dreams. Your goals. Your gratitude. Write it all down. Journaling connects you to your inner world and helps you stay aligned with your intentions. It’s girly, powerful, and grounding all at once.
Closing Thought:
Femininity is strength and softness. It’s not about having a pink room or perfect hair—it’s about feeling good in your skin, embracing joy, and choosing beauty in your everyday life.
So put on your favorite lip gloss, press play on that fire playlist, and go be that girl đź’•
