    Default Getting ready: the short and long of it.

    Alternatively titled: Getting it TF up to go to work when I feel run down.

    I've been a SWer for a while now and "getting ready" usually comes in 2 speeds for me: 1. Dry shampoo and run, and 2. 4 hours of bullshit. More often it's the former, but every once in a while the stars align and I have some time (or if I just feel so run down I'm gonna drop), and I'll go through a nice routine to make myself feel pampered at home before work and shut down my brain before it ramps up in hustle mode. I'm always looking for shortcuts AND more time wasting ideas. To be honest, if I get to have some time to make myself feel good and CALM I feel better, and I'm better at getting amped up to make money. Here's what I got! What's your routine like?

    Short stuff:
    - Dry shampoo
    - toner + BB cream + concealer + lashes
    - curling huge sections of my hair to make the process go faster
    - grabbing a granola bar from my bag (i keep a stash because, well, I've met me)

    Long stuff:
    - Music or TV/audiobook to shut my brain off (for me this means no news, no nonfiction, nothing to make me stop and go down an internet rabbit hole)
    - long bath with Epsom salt for my sore spots + body scrub
    - clay face mask or peel/ something exfoliate-y
    - serum or a gooey face moisturizing mask as after-care
    - teeth whitening strips
    - single use under eye de-puffers
    - cooking something with protein and veg and eating it sitting down
    - using the foam roller on my muscles
    - plucking... stuff
    - primer under my makeup
    - light contouring, eyebrows, eye shadow, etc
    - hand washing favorite outfits and re-packing my bag neatly
    - blowing out my hair with heat protector and shine products
    - a small spritz of a good perfume


    Whatcha got? Time savers? Home spa treatments?

    Wishing everyone good vibes today!

    I have some short cuts that I use for in person sessions. (I am typing this as my nails are drying to go on cam tonight :-P) So as a dominatrix there is a lot more putting on than taking off like a strip club (I have stripped before and frankly I took less time :-P).
    Long Days used to be:
    Get up early or stay up late to take a bath in epsom salts that smell like heavenly lavendar dye my hair if needed. (I have had like 10 grays in a streak since I was in my early 20's ... Definitely sure I am somehow related to Rogue from X-men)
    Dry and straighten hair (this is a doozy because my hair is below my waist)
    Hyaluronic acid the daylights out of my face
    Use an eye mask
    Pluck things
    Do nails and toes or when I have time get them done.
    Make a small meal.
    Get to dungeon turn on music and basically strip down and run around in bra and underwear while doing make up and setting up I have pre-work anxiety and I freaking sweat so less is best.
    Concealer (don't use foundation)
    Liner, shadow, mascara
    Lipstick
    Blush if I am really feeling it.
    Then pick an outfit... INHALE FOR THE LAST TIME FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR AND LACE CORSETT.
    Perfume

    The short cut:
    Shower and straighten hair or use dry shampoo and maybe run a straightener through the ponytail line kink in my hair.
    Take off nail polish or paint over the chips in the same color 'cause I am lazy like that sometimes.
    Drive to dungeon- raid dungeon fridge for snacks
    Strip down/set up
    Throw on play list.
    Concealer
    Liner, mascara, shadow
    Lipstick
    Pick one of 5 super comfy yet edgie dresses that I have for just these days.

    First one can take 2-4 hours (Depending on if I need to dye my hair and the second one an hour.)

    Kinda all of the above, ha!!

    Since I discovered the gold mine called aliexpress, i started to get myself all kind of devices for home self pampering (I hate spending time in salons, I get bored, I do it at home, sice it's actually a hobby, to do it myself).
    LED nails lamp, foir doing my gel nails at home, facial steamer, Foreo dupe face cleanser, face massage roller, blackheads suction device, electric nail file set, jade roller, needle facial roller, LED face mask etc.

    Of course, need to learn how to use some them, I buy them as I learn to use (thanks to youtube). For now I only have the nails lamp, blackhead remover, FOREO dupe. I am very happy with them.
    Gonna buy the rest, soon.

    Now I only wanna go to saloon for massage (I hate doing it myself) and for brows microblading.

    Ahhhh! I have ALWAYS wanted a streak of grey in my hair ����

    Also - not wearing foundation is a great idea. I never considered it, but I’m going to try that! xx
