Self Love DEFINITION BY:MARYAM

"be your own reason to smile..."

Love is an important part of our life.

When you have a crush on someone, you want to treat them right. The thing is you have to have a crush on yourself.

If you need a healthy relationship with people you need to love yourself.

What is self-love for me?

It's about saying kind words to yourself.

It's about respecting others. It's about taking care of yourself.

It's about putting yourself on the first place.

As a boss babe you need to be motivated and for that the people around you need to be with the same mindset, no distractions from your goal and no drama.

Each of us is constantly faced with self-doubt and the fear of making a mistake. Self-love is also about forgiving yourself for your failures.

When you start to value yourself and your time your life changes immediately. Many people confuse self-love with narcissism and because of that they're afraid to please or compliment themselves.

The last thing you want is to be a toxic person to yourself. The moment when you realize that you will be your best friend, your most loyal support and the worst hater, this is the moment when you reach a new level.

Drink a glass of water, look in the mirror, say how proud you are to be yourself and keep hustling.

SELF CARE ROUTINE BY: ELLEXUS GLOCKNER

Self care is such an important habit, and can be so fun to do. There are lots of different types of self care and building a routine will ensure that you get the most out of it. Self care can be about mental wellness, exercise, skin care, creativity and so much more. All of the following things are amazing to add to your routine for the best self care.

Doing a face mask once a week can not only help clear your skin, but it's also relaxing and forces you to focus on yourself. One of my favorite masks is the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask. It can even be fun to try to make your own masks. There are some great recipes for masks on Pinterest that use products that most people already have around the house.

Spending time outside away from social media and screens is so important especially in a world of COVID. When so many of us are inside all day doing online school, it’s crucial to spend time in the sun and away from everything online. Being outside or going for a walk increases happiness, and also allows time to focus on yourself. Even a five minute walk each day can make a difference in your mood. After being inside for a long time, a short walk can give you so much more energy.

Creating some form of art is another important form of self care. Expressing your creativity in whatever way you enjoy is always fun and can release stress. I personally love to sew and draw but there are so many other forms of art and trying something new can be a lot of fun.

Whether you like to paint, sing, dance, write, or anything else, spending some time every day to do these activities is a great form of self care.

Making a mood board is amazing for so many reasons. Not only is it expressing creativity, but it also motivates you and manifests the life you want. A mood board is a collage of photos, quotes, etc. that represent what you want for your future, things you love, and just overall what makes you happy. You can print out pictures from your phone, write out quotes or cut things out of magazines. No matter what you use to make your mood board, it helps you remember the positive things in life and reminds you of things to work towards and look forward to.

Any form of exercise is also an important part of self care. This is not only good for your physical wellbeing, but also mentally. Exercising releases serotonin and helps relieve stress.

Exercise can be a variety of different things; taking a run, doing yoga, high impact training, or even playing sports. As long as you are moving your body every day, you are practicing self care.

All of these self care ideas are great to add to your routine, along with so many others. They are not only fun, but good for your mental and physical health. Practicing even one of these things will help you achieve the lifestyle you want and bring healthy habits into your day to day life. page | 04

How To Throw A Valentine's Date For Yourself

BY AKUNNA O

February is that time of year that anyone not in a relationship dreads because of the inevitable “holiday” Valentine’s day, The love gestures, seeing people living their best lives with their partner might make you feel, why can’t I have that? or you might you feel disgusted even though you want to be like them deep down inside. Surprisingly a lot of teens across the globe have the same dilemma so don’t think you are the only one feeling this way but there is a way you can switch that attitude around and make Valentine’s day actually enjoyable for you.

This page is all the things you should do to throw yourself the best Valentine’s date ever.

1. Turn off your phone.

Going on Tiktok or Instagram watching other people would not make you feel any better so for the night don’t go on any social media, if you feel like you don’t have the self-discipline give your phone to a family member or go on your settings and block the apps or just delete the apps. After a few minutes, you would not think about your apps and you will feel at peace knowing you can focus on yourself.

2. Have a pamper night.

After your apps are blocked, bring out your body scrubs ( we have a recipe for how to make a body scrub in our January Issue in the Akunna & Sofia Corner), Epsom salts, scents, the candles, and the music. Get everything that you need to pamper yourself with and make sure you feel that you are at a luxury spa.

Valentine’s day all about you.

If you are still feeling sad after all of the things mentioned, have a dance party and dance it out in your room, set up your speaker to play your favorite songs or playlist, and get loose. After a while, you might be on your 5th World Tour feeling like the happiest person in the world.

INSTAGRAM BADDIE & SELF-CARE WITH CHAZLYN YVONNE BY: PAULA QUINONES-ROMAN

How did you find your Instagram Aesthetic?

I've always LOVED pink- it's my favorite color! I started thinking to myself, I like pretty chic outfits and I love pink. I told myself "I'm gonna try to keep that consistency with every post I create." Eventually it all kind of mashed up together and I was able to brand myselfwhich is crazy! Now when brands reach out to me, they send everything they have in PINK! I built it off based on the things I like and from there I create my own aesthetic.

How are you growing your Instagram account during quarantine? What motivates you to grow it?

Definetly being a part of organizations like Campus Trendsetters, Her Campus, Teen Boss Babes, and College Fashionista has given me some motivation. Communities like that are really where you want to start, because I was able to join group chats with all of these girls that had amazing feeds and learn from them. They inspired me to take it more seriously.

That's where brands started reaching out to me.

Valentine's Day is coming up...what are your favorite Self-Care activities? What are your favorite items for Self-Care?

I love doing some face masks while listening to music or even journaling! I also recently made one of those aesthetic heart- shaped minimalistic cakes. Super fun! I'm also planning a Valentine's Day photoshoot with my roommate! Some of my favorite items, like I said are; face masks, peel-off-masks, rollers (the ones that go in the freezer), and TEA!

ADVICE FOR GIRLS THAT WANT TO GROW THEIR INSTAGRAM: 1. DON'T FOCUS TOO MUCH ON BRANDS. 2. GET AN OUTFIT & TAKE CUTE PICTURES OF YOURSELF. 3. DO IT FOR FUN! 4. USE CANVA TO CREATE YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED MEDIA KIT @chazlyn.yvonee on Instagram & TikTok | College Blogger | FIDM

5 Fun Things To Do On Valentines Day

BY JILL LAPINE

1.Go On A Picnic.

While many places may not be open this Valentine’s Day, there is no shortage of fun things everyone can still do! Going on a picnic is a perfect idea for a V-Day date or a girl’s day!

You can dress cute, bring a comfy blanket and a basket and pack all sorts of yummy foods and deserts. Head to your favorite outdoor spot and snap some cute pictures for a very insta-worthy Valentine’s Day. Picnics are all the rage now and you can make it as cute and aesthetic as you please.

2. Have a pamper night.

This is such a fun date, it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day. You can be outside, ride fun rides and get amazing fair snacks! Again, this is fun for you and your boo or with your best girlfriends. It’s always nice to be able to spend the day outside and be with the people you love. Depending on where you live, you can either find a traditional fair or go to more of an amusement park like Six Flags or Walt Disney World. This one could tend to lean on the pricier side, but it will certainly be a day worth remembering.

3. Bake This is one of my personal favorite activities to do on Valentine’s Day. Stores like Target always have the best supplies for creating adorable cakes, cupcakes and cookies. It is also inexpensive making it a fun activity to do multiple times. Another plus is you don’t even have to leave your house for this one, considering COVID and all. Bake alone or with people you love and have a blast decorating the desserts you create. If you’re feeling up to it, give some of your baked goods to that special someone this year-they’ll love it.

4. Watch Heartfelt Films Watching movies is great any day of the year but watching rom coms on Valentine’s Day is so fun. While most movie theaters are still closed, make your own at home! Get a comfy setup going and pick out a list of heart-warming movies to watch and have a full-on marathon.

Make some pink desserts and have a relaxing night with the gals or with your significant other.

This one can go great with #3, baking and movies is the perfect stay-at-home combo! It’s relaxing and really puts you in the spirit of love.

5. Get Ready and have a Bomb Photoshoot This one is FOR THE GIRLS! If you’re not feeling Valentine’s Day this year, not to worry. Do your hair, do your makeup, pick out your favorite outfit and fire shoes, whatever will make you feel like an absolute boss. Take your girls and go get the best pictures of your life. Even post on the ‘Gram if you’re feeling like it. There’s nothing more fun than getting together with your girls and taking some bomb photos. To top it off, get some tacos or something after to celebrate!

5 Outfits for Your Galentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is upon us, but we all know Galentine’s Day is the best way to celebrate! While many of us are social distancing, we can still share our time, and our outfits, virtually! Some may spend the day alone, and that’s good too! Dressing for yourself can be a great confidence booster and it’s a great form of expression!

01

LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Everyone needs this staple outfit in their closet! Pair with a cozy shawl to add a pop of color and stay warm on a brisk day! I also pair oversized jackets and flannels for layers on colder days!

02

COZY SKIRT COMBO

Pairing a bold skirt and cozy sweater is another great way to dress for cool weather. Adding another layer is perfect for a walk in the park or even a picnic on a sunny day!

03

FUNKY TOPS AND FAVORITE JEANS

Pairing a funky top with a favorite pair of jeans makes for a comfortable statement outfit! Take advantage of complimentary colors while layering and embrace the pops of color in your wardrobe! page | 04

5 Outfits for Your Galentine’s Day! 04

LAZY DAY LEGGINGS

Sometimes staying in means movie dates, and what better than to wear your favorite comfy leggings and a cozy sweater? I love statement leggings paired with a neutral top, but the key is to experiment with your preferred style!

05

A BOLD TOP AND RIPPED CAPRIS

Capris are a great way to embrace the warm days of February while anticipating a brisk day. Pairing with a bold top and bright jacket brings light to the outfit and adds flair.

If you can’t tell, I’m all about pairing bold colors with neutrals to create stylish and unique outfits. Going for a bold look might feel intimidating at first, even if you’re dressing for a day by yourself, but if you think the patterns and colors look nice together, then go for it sis! Use this guide as a reference for building an outfit using your own wardrobe and reflect your individual style.

Q&A WITH LUCIA PEREZ

How to create a website for your business?

There are many ways to create a website here, are some tips I have for you! One, you have to buy your website domain which you can buy from various websites, but one that I recommend is godaddy.com. After you purchase your website domain you have to think about what you're going to use your website for because this will dictate the plan you will buy. There are so many different types of plans, the more features you have on your website the, more expensive your plan will become. Now that you have bought the website plan that is best for you, it's time to start designing your website. You can always design your website or pay someone else to do it because it is time-consuming and a lot of work. Also, keep in mind that there are a lot of youtube videos and courses online where you can learn how to create and design your website.

Tips for starting a small business?

The number one tip for starting a small business is to be well informed of everything you will need to start your business. Have a checklist where your store will be located. It can be on etsy, shopify, or you can create your own website on wix, wordspace, squarespace, etc.

Also, add to your checklist what items you want to sell and at how much you must be passionate in what you're doing so you do not burn out and want to quit. Another important thing to keep in mind is that sales will come but overnight it might take a couple weeks or a couple months but just keep on trying and promoting your items on social media so sales do come.

How do you talk to your parents when wanting to start a business?

According to Wikipedia, a news article discusses current or recent news of either general interest or of a specific When wanting to start a business one of the best ways you can talk to your parents is to have a plan of everything you want to do with your business. It is so important to be well informed so not only do you have the confidence but your parents will also be confident in your business. You can do this by creating a powerpoint of a rough timeline by when you will be launching, buying inventory, creating items, and etc. Another tip is to show how passionate you are of starting your business. Show the excitement you have for starting this new step of your life and how much it means to you to be able to put your art out there for people to buy. Also, if you are still in school have a plan of how you will balance your time between school and work just so you don't start slacking on one..
