how to feel like aphrodite ♡ the goddess of self love

The soft sounds of a lana del rey song drift from my speakers as the scent of freshly brewed coffee envelopes the room like a familiar hug. The birds sing outside indicating that spring is around the corner.

hello loves ♡

The sounds of birds singing their spring tunes highlight the mornings and the sun shines in the blue sky for longer — spring is near again. It’s the time of year I find most dreamy. Everything is starting to awaken fresh and renewed, ready for the time to spring to life again after a cold winter. With the beauty of an impending spring comes the feeling of love in the air as well. To celebrate the love of spring, I wanted to focus on the most important love — self love.

Everyone deserves to love themselves and one of my favorite ways to do this is allowing myself to feel closer to the goddess of self love, Aphrodite. Not only will this help you feel good about myself, but you’ll be left feeling like an ethereal goddess too!

♡ Feel closer to aphrodite by lighting your favorite candles, especially pink and white ones, and drawing a comforting bubble bath. Add rose milk to your bath to soften your delicate skin.

♡ In your most favorite tea cup pour fresh brewed tea and add rose petals and honey. Sip it slowly as you think of only dreamy things that bring you joy.

♡ Pull out your fancy stationery sets and pen love letters to your favorite people in your life. Write one to yourself as well for a little self love.

♡ Be sure to surround yourself with beautiful rose quartz crystals. To welcome in more love for yourself, put one under your pillow before drifting off to your dreamland.

♡ Wear your most delicate and pretty of pearls with every outfit.

♡ Feel like the ethereal love goddess herself by putting on ethereal dresses that make you feel romantic and whimsical.

♡ Lastly, write a list of all the things you love about yourself. Read the list to yourself while looking at yourself in a mirror. Remember you are beautiful and lovely as you are. ♡

just like magic ♡ a self concept playlist

Wrapped up in my soft pink paris blanket, I type away at my pink keyboard as my creative ideas flow freely. My twisted peppermint candle burns on the table next to me as the scent of the sugared snow and vanilla buttercream fill the room. With my self concept playlist playing in the background I feel content.

pink pilates princess ♡ a morning routine

Dreamy, calming music flows from my phone as I type away at my pink quartz keyboard. The comforting scent of freshly baked sugar cookies mixes with vanilla and crushed peppermint, creating the coziest feeling.

hello again loves ♡

The faint sound of morning birds singing drift into the room, alerting me that spring is just around the corner. As i slowly beging to open my eyes, I gently stretch my body after a full night of beauty sleep. Looking toward the window, I bask in the glow of the early morning light; the morning sun still hiding beneath the horizon just waiting to say hello again. Adoring this time of day, I simply take a few moments to feel at peace as I gaze out the window. The sky is a beautiful light grey with the remainder of the previous night sky still lingering; there’s just something about this time of day that brings me so much joy.

While still cozy and wrapped in my furry pink blanket, I reach over for my phone opening my Pinterest app. Wanting a few more moments in a warm bed, I work on pinning aesthetic things I feel inspired by and my affirmations board as a way to start the day off in a positive mindset. As I do this, I make sure to sip on a glass of water.

Once I am finished with my water, I delicately pull back my warm blankets and step out of bed to start my morning. Grabbing my pink satin Victoria’s Secret robe, I make my way toward the bathroom to brush my teeth before moving on to washing my face. Once finished I pick out a face mask – today’s being a peel off one called strawberries & champagne.

As my face mask is drying, I begin to make an iced oat milk coffee. The smell of freshly brewed coffee whirls around the house as I add heart shaped ice to my pink studded Starbucks tumbler. Sipping on the oat milk iced coffee, I savor the soft quietness of the early morning. I just adore being the only one awake on an ethereal morning like this – it’s absolutely tranquil. While I continue to enjoy my delicious coffee, I begin to journal and go over my planner to see what the day ahead holds.

Iced coffee finished, I finally change from my satin VS stripped pajamas and slip into my favorite workout clothes – my aerie flared leggings and my baby pink hello kitty milk bar hoodie. The first thing i start with every morning is pilates as it’s the perfect start to any workout and warms me up for the rest of them. Onced finished with pilates, I move on to my hiit cardio routine to fully wake up. After completeing my morning workouts, it’s time to step into the shower.

The warm water and steam evelopes me like a comforting hug, warming the muscles I just worked.

Feeling rejuvinated and ready for the day, I step out of the shower and dress in a cozy outfit for a day of working from home – the fluffiest of pink sweaters, basic soft leggings from aerie, and comfy socks. I continue with my full morning skincare routine to keep my skin bright and glass like. Skin looking smooth and doll like, I finally style my hair. Freeing my long silky hair from any tangles, I add some loose beach waves and tie my hair up into an adorable half up/half down ponytail and add a pink ribbon for an added cute touch.

My morning routine complete, I make healthy green smoothie and brew a fresh pot of delightful green tea and am ready to go about the rest of my day.
