SHINE FROM THE INSIDE OUT
… Make Yourself Feel Radiant
If you feel great, you’ll look it. Beauty for us is all about how you feel. Rather than being about fitting into what society tells us to look like as women, true beauty is about walking this planet feeling like a goddess. Because this is when we shine our light with ease and beauty.
Maybe you already have things you do to make yourself feel radiant. If not, we hope to inspire you to do so here.
Drape Yourself In Love
Lingerie
Imagine that each day you get to put on a layer of clothes just for you.
Something that makes YOU feel like the most amazing goddess walking the earth. Rather than pleasing anyone else, this layer of clothes is to nurture, honor and uplift YOU. Perhaps you want to invest in lingerie that supports this vision.
Wearing the most expensive set of lingerie isn’t the point. Wearing a set that makes you feel beautiful, sexy, and like you’re a divine goddess is. Choose a set that’s a good color for you. Wear a bra that gives you nice support. Choose a fabric that feels wonderful (and maybe even supports the planet). It’s not about wearing lingerie that men or society tells you to, it’s about dressing for you and making YOU feel amazingly good about yourself.
You may already know your favourite lingerie brands and styles, but if not, here are some of our favourites…
Understatement
We love this Swedish brand called Understatement. Not only is this a lingerie brand with beautiful, feminine styles, it’s also a company that has a strong focus on creating solidarity between women to strengthen and empower one another.
The company is created and run by two women with a mission to create an arena for more female voices; highlighting control, ownership and pride in our own bodies and minds.
This is lingerie for women by women. Check them out.
Moons & Junes
Another brand we love is this amazing female-empowering lingerie company called Moons & Junes, that focuses on body diversity and embracing the natural body. They believe that there is beauty in realism and work to promote a more diverse female body image that also includes women of age.
Designed to cater for the female body and our needs, the styles of Moons & Junes aren’t just created to look good. The intimates are constructed to accentuate our curves, so when we put on the pieces, we will feel them adapting to our bodies. Furthermore the materials have been selected to feel soft against the skin with sewing designed not to get in the way of sensitive areas. The company has even managed to create a bra that provides support without any hard cups and underwire. Check them out below.
Intimissimi
Finally, we also love the Eleonora Lace set from Intimissimi. It’s sensual and feminine without push up, it’s supportive, the wide band provides a flattering look and it works great underneath T-shirts. This set comes in many different colours, but they have many great styles to choose from.
It’s all about you, so choose a style and brand that feels good and enhances your every curve.
Surround Yourself With Love
Our surroundings matter. When we live in a beautiful space with good energy, our favorite colors, scents, and things, we tend to feel good. What would it take to bring more love and nurture into your home? What would give it a homey feeling or create an invitation to simple enjoyment when you’re in the space? You may also have too many things that cramp your place or hold you back.
Look into the spaces where you spend the most time and notice how many of the items you truly love. Also, pay attention to the vibes you get in your home. Do you feel like you’re surrounded by beauty and nourishing things that make your heart sing a little?
If you see too many items you don’t love then maybe it’s time to give or sell some of them to someone else who will. If you don’t feel enough of the vibes that nurture you where you live, such as serenity, calmness, nature, or things that invite you to be creative and happy, then what can you do to create that for yourself?
If you need a little inspiration for items that spread beauty around you, here are some of our favorite things.
Crystals
They are beautiful gemstones and not only do they beautify your home with their divine shapes and colours, they also hold different properties that may work with your energy when you need it. You can find some beautiful and ethically sourced ones from Moonrise Crystals. Don’t forget to clean them with sage or salt water and remember to charge them at full moon.
Books, Pens & Creative Remedies
Books are another great source of mood-setting. So are different coloured pens if you like to draw or write for creativity, a beautiful perfume in your bathroom, or flowers. Whatever makes your heart feel light, maybe it’s time you let yourself have it in your space each and every day so that it may uplift you and bring you love and joy.
Kitchen Herbs, Hand Soap,
& Bathroom Towels
These are all tiny yet essential things that tend to be found in the household. Since they belong in your sphere regardless, maybe it’s worth choosing them based on what feels, smells or looks absolutely divine to you.
Rather than going out and getting a bunch of things you don’t need, optimising your essentials to make them a lovely experience is an easy way to sweeten your daily life.
By opting for a hand soap that smells lovely on your hands every time you’ve been to the bathroom can turn a task into a moment of mindfulness and luxury. Having hand towels in a colour you like does the same trick, while fresh herbs over dried ones in the kitchen can make a meal feel more fresh.
