My Venusian Upgrade

Key here… I’ve been doing some thinking.

Lately, I’ve noticed something—not so much about others, but about myself. I haven’t really been dressing up. Like, really dressing. No razzle, no dazzle. Just… comfy, borderline careless, “grab-whatever’s-clean” energy.

And here’s what I’ve realized: when I dress down for too long, I start to feel down. My mindset dips. My choices slip. I act a little more ratchet, a little more low-minded—not in a cute, cheeky way, but in a way that doesn’t reflect who I know I truly am.

It’s wild how my outer presentation can influence my inner vibration. And the more I stay in that space, the harder it feels to climb out of it. That’s not who I want to be.

Growing up, I saw my Taurus dad always look presentable—even when he was just off to play golf. (I know, golf isn’t exactly glam, but stay with me!) He carried himself with a quiet pride, and I think that stuck with me. That Venus energy, that care for aesthetics and presentation—it runs deep in me too.

So, this isn’t about criticizing anyone else. I get it—life be life-ing, and comfort is a valid choice. But for me, I’ve realized that effort is a kind of self-love. When I take time to show up fully—clothes, hair, skin, spirit—it uplifts me. And I move through the world differently.

It’s like strengthening my own Venus: I feel radiant, magnetic, alive. And that energy spreads. When I feel good, I give better. I think clearer. I align higher.

So, I’m making some shifts.
Starting with my wardrobe—building a capsule that reflects the woman I am, not the version I’ve outgrown. Saying goodbye to old, tired clothes that no longer spark joy. Revamping my beauty rituals. Cleaning up my plate. Saying no to habits that numb me—no more smoking, no more drinking.

I’m going deeper with myself. Relearning, rechoosing, remaking.

Because when I’m in alignment, I shine. And when I shine, I remind myself—and others—that being a woman is powerful, magical, and never something to sleep on.
