Lets be real. Smelling good will turn heads and make you unforgettable. It is the way to embody & elevate your confidence, wellness, and self care.

These hacks, habits, and swaps are sworn by, and here we do it in That Veganista style – completely vegan and cruelty free. ♡

It Starts In The Shower

The base clean “canvas” (aka YOU) will set you up for your success.
Don’t be shy to double cleanse, and exfoliate as well (gently!). I use a silicone scrubber that is gentle yet effective, and cleanable unlike a poof type sponge. It also doesn’t have to go in the laundry like a washcloth.

Focus on creases and sweaty areas (behind ears, pits, neck, behind knees, private areas, feet, etc). and shave if you choose to do so.
Hair tends to retain smells, so keep this in mind when cleansing and shaving if you decide to.

Choose soaps and scents that you love, and that go well with scents you plan to layer on later!

I personally have several favorites right now that I choose depending on the mood for the day – shown below here ♡

WHAT WE RECOMMEND:

Setting The Scents

Moisturize straight from the shower (or in the shower with body oil like I do), with neutral scent or a scent that will go well with what you are putting on after.

Deodorant that also mixes with your other scents or scentless, and I sometimes do a deo salt before my other deodorant, just as an extra layer.
It is fragrance free, and helps as an additional protection.

Get to the smells! Your choice of body mist, perfume, perfume oil, etc. Some people swear by adding perfume oil to their body oil.

Hair mist or even just delicious smelling products can really level it up as well. Bonus if it is a leave in conditioner like Super Milk!

Some people also spray some scent on clothes also, but be careful doing this with delicate/sensitive fabrics.

WHAT WE RECOMMEND:

Make It Last

I started carrying essentials with me a couple years ago, and I’ll never stop. Sure, its a little more in my bag, but its absolutely worth it for never being caught lacking with my hygiene.

I carry deodorant, lotion, smaller size perfume bottles, wipes, and gum/mints always.
On crazy hot, active days, this can truly be a lifesaver.

Make sure your clothes are clean and fresh of course, and stay well hydrated throughout the entire day.

Oh, and an extra bonus of being plant based/vegan along with hydration? It can make you glow/feel fresher by starting within. Just another bonus right?

Viral Hacks (What Those Girls Are Doing)

This is a nice section that can be updated as time goes on!

For now, the most common trends I’m seeing are chlorophyll water: aka adding drops to your water each morning that they swear keeps them fresher.
Adding perfume oil to your overall body oil for a stronger more overall scent (in addition to concentrated areas).
Scalp care: scrubs, clarifying, dry shampoo if needed to keep fresh and save time.

Remember, that confidence ultimately comes from consistency, care, and loving yourself.

You may not be perfect at your routine at first and that is okay. Take your time and perfect it for you first.

Also, consider finding your “signature scent”, as this also changed the game for me. A scent that is mine, my go to, that I know I’ll be good and feel myself for the day.

What are my signature scents? It is KISMET – MyBathBar and That Girl – Viral Vanilla by Oakcha!

And don’t be afraid to do this, at least to a good level, daily. It isn’t just for special occasions, and it can greatly help you all the time. ♡

Every day is a special occasion!
