I need a part 2!!! So inspirating!❤☀
small life lessons we can all pick up from audrey hepburn ♡
be kind: what is more beautiful than someone who is genuinely kind? there was no doubt audrey had a huge heart! among her many amazing qualities this is what also magnified her beauty, she was a philanthropist and did humanitarian work around the world, constantly at aid to the people who needed it. audrey hepburn believed in kindness, she treated everyone around her with respect.
when you are kind your aura immediately becomes brighter, you attract what you put out into the world and people who are the same will naturally gravitate towards you because of the positive energy you’re putting out. treat everyone around you how you would like to be treated, say your pleases and thank you’s, give out compliments, and most importantly spread love!
“for beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” ~ audrey hepburn
“remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm. as you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” ~ audrey hepburn
learn languages: audrey was fluent in 6 languages! learning a new language brings you closer to the people and the culture for sure, and improves so many functions in your brain as well! It brings you so many job opportunities, and more of an excuse to travel the world!
the best part about learning a language in the twenty first century is that there is access to soooo much information for free online! youtube, tumblr, and language exchange apps have so much information when it comes to common languages people are learning around the world.
audrey speaking italian ♡:
be graceful: audrey hepburn exuded grace, despite all of the hardships she experienced in life including the natzi occupation in her home which resulted into a lot of unfortunate events, she still followed the things close to her heart like practicing ballet and attending classes before and after the occupation, becoming a actress and movie star, and devoting her time and energy to UNICEF. what a hard working woman!
audrey also had amazing posture from her ballet background and spoke to everyone soft and smoothly, it was so pleasant to hear her speak!
being graceful makes you radiate from the inside out, it’s in how you speak to yourself and others, it’s how you carry yourself, it’s giving your best to everything you do and are passionate about and wanting to better yourself as a person, it’s walking with confidence with everything you do that it will rub off on the people around you as well! walk tall with your shoulders back and chin held high, walk into your grace and own it!
apply these 3 things to your daily life and watch yourself slowly bloom into a person who is improving day by day into a lovely human being ♡
Baby Ayla was born into starvation, and has struggled with malnutrition all her life. Since birth, she has faced an IOF-imposed blockade on food and the IOF’s deliberate destruction of potable water sources in Gaza. Now it is taking really its toll on her, and she has severe diarrhea.
Ayla is rapidly losing the few fluids she has in her body, and the IOF assault has made food, water, and medicine extremely scarce. For a toddler, this is absolutely life-threatening. If she cannot replenish the bodily fluids she is losing, her fragile kidneys will go into failure!!
Her widowed mother URGENTLY needs funds for medicine and saline solution. This will help replenish the fluids and vitamins that her tiny body needs to survive.
Every moment that Ayla remains sick, she gets closer and closer to kidney failure. She urgently needs your support to survive!!

Angel’s Spring Reset: A Full & Complete Guide
ib: [busy, yet pretty]
Mindset Refresh ִֶָ𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐
Reflect & journal what’s been weighing you down n what you want to leave behind. 𐙚🧸ྀི
₊˚⊹ ᰔ Weighing me down: overthinking past conversations and ones to come, feeling like I have to prove my worth to people who don't even prioritize me, doubting myself when i know deep down what i want, the pressure to always be productive even when i need rest.
₊˚⊹ ᰔ What I'm leaving behind: guilt of prioritizing myself above others, self-doubt, fear of change, people who don't reciprocate my energy.
I am making space for the new opportunities and getting rid of anything in my life that doesn't align with me.
Set new intentions 𐙚🧸ྀི
⋅˚₊‧ 𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅ The theme is MORE. This season will be filled with more opportunities, more friends, more love, more happiness, more light, more relief, more peacefulness, more experiences.
Detox & restart! 𐙚🧸ྀི
୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ clear away any & everything that feels heavy or stagnant. Physically, emotionally, mentally by asking myself:
۶ৎ what does my body need right now?
⊹ ࣪ ˖ a balanced diet
⊹ ࣪ ˖ vitamins
⊹ ࣪ ˖ more movement
⊹ ࣪ ˖ more hydration + electrolytes
⊹ ࣪ ˖ more fresh air
۶ৎ what can i do to make myself feel more refreshed?
⊹ ࣪ ˖ stretching in the morning to loosen tension
⊹ ࣪ ˖ taking walks
⊹ ࣪ ˖ prioritizing rest
⊹ ࣪ ˖ sunlight exposure
⊹ ࣪ ˖ breath work
⊹ ࣪ ˖ self-massages (gua sha, a body roller)
۶ৎ what habits should i get rid of?
⊹ ࣪ ˖ all the things I mentioned in the first step.
۶ৎ how can i be gentler with myself?
⊹ ࣪ ˖ reassure myself instead of criticizing
⊹ ࣪ ˖ let myself rest without guilt
⊹ ࣪ ˖celebrate small wins
⊹ ࣪ ˖ let go of people who don't show up for me
⊹ ࣪ ˖ give myself space and time to feel and heal without judgement
⊹ ࣪ ˖ talk to myself like someone i love
۶ৎ the detox plan?
1 thing im removing from my life
The habit of second guessing myself. I have strong instincts, but sometimes I overthink or doubt my choices. I’m going to let go of the need to overanalyze and trust that my decisions are enough in the moment.
1 thing i'm adding to my life
More intentional rest - truly allowing myself to relax without guilt (sleeping in, watching something comforting, or just existing without feeling like I should be doing something.)
1 way i'll take care of myself this week
Setting a boundary with my energy - if someone or something is draining my energy, I’ll choose not to engage (ignoring a message, postponing something that doesn’t feel right, or simply saying “no,” protect my peace.)
This detox isn't about perfection, but rather making space for what i really want.
Mindfulness 𐙚🧸ྀི
‹𝟹 ground yourself in the moment by:
꩜ .ᐟ noticing your surroundings. focus on your senses, what do you see, hear, feel, smell and taste? this can happen when you're doing nothing or even an activity like eating or getting dressed
꩜ .ᐟ start and end your day with journaling and reflection
꩜ .ᐟ watch your thoughts without judgment
꩜ .ᐟ let yourself be (silence, daydreaming..) you don't have to always be doing something
Beauty Refresh ִֶָ𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐
Asses your skin’s needs 𐙚🧸ྀི
୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ whether it’s wearing sunscreen, exfoliating more, or even more hydration. remember your base routine should look like this: cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen. ensure you have something to exfoliate with like gloves, a brush (dry/silicone) or an african net sponge (all three not needed, just pick one) + body scrub for body. face scrub or clay mask + face brush (you can use your cleanser with the face brush). Focus on cleansing and then hydrate and moisturize. Don’t forget your SPF.
Adjust your hair routine 𐙚🧸ྀི
୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ analyze what your hair looks like & ask yourself if that’s what you want it to be. If it isn’t, assess its needs (whether it’s trims, more moisture, oiling, tucking your ends) and update your products, hairstyles and techniques for the season.

hi, i’m binatoki. this is my online diary to document my self-rebrand journey. i am going to go on this journey for 159 days. why? because 7 years ago from that date will be the day that my glow-down started. so in 159 days, i want to be better than i was on that day 7 years ago.
daily non-negotiables:
my non-negotiables are daily habits that i am going to do each day. these habits will help me get better physically, emotionally, mentally, & spiritually. these include:
• movement/exercise— 45 minutes minimum, 10k steps
• clean eating (with minimal occasions)— no alcohol, minimal dairy, minimal refined carbs, minimal sugar. high protein, lots of veggies, herbal tea, water, and supplements
• hair, makeup, skincare, hygiene— styling my hair pretty, wearing makeup, smelling my best, and grooming my best daily. i am going to look the best i can each day
• listen to at least 1 video/podcast or read at least 10 pages of self-improvement material
• get closer to God— use the Bible app, pray, and listen to at least 1 service/Christian video
• must document on here daily
weekly “homework”:
each week, i will be giving myself “homework”. my homework is basically 1-3 tasks that will either get me out of my comfort zone (ie become friends with a stranger) or to boost my level-up (like getting my hair done). the start of the week is monday and the end of the week is sunday
monthly goals:
each month i will give myself 1-3 goals within each category: beauty, health/fitness, finances, career/school, and lifestyle/social.
so what are my goals for the next 159 days?
i can’t list every goal on here because i have so many, but here are the more “major” goals that i’ll be working on.
1. lose 50lbs (i need to lose about 85lbs)
2. move on to my third quarter in nursing school with straight A’s
3. have my dream hair (long, thick, blonde, healthy)
4. keeping my skin plump and youthful (face & body)
5. become debt-free (i’m approx $30k in debt)
6. move out and live on my own again
7. make at least $12k a month / quit my current job
again, i have so many other goals (that i will be writing about) but i’m not trying to make this post super long!
lastly, what parts of myself or my lifestyle will i be leaving behind?
i’m leaving behind the part of me that loves playing into the victim mentality. i’m leaving behind the part of me that let’s her insecurities ruin her day, her mood, and her social life. i’m leaving behind the part of me that is tired, “lazy”, comfortable in my discomfort, and who loves to procrastinate and put things off. for the next 159 days, i’m going to focus on me and the present. i’m not going to focus on who i was in the past anymore. i’m not going to dwell on things i can’t control or change.
so now what?
feel free to follow my journey. i will be posting daily and will keep it raw and authentic. i can’t wait to see how much i’ll grow at the end of the 159 days. i’ll talk to you soon.
