MICRO hygiene & self care habits that CHANGED my life | Operation lock in EP. 1|

TIME STAMPS:
Oh woaw we could literally be friend lol😅
I mean for my hair I am using a serum too but it was unconscious and I love it because it makes my hair thick and also I was telling myself how oil and deep moisturising moments are for the weekend.
Then I am doing the same for my laundry - one day I’ve seen a tiktok video where the person was saying that putting vinegar would make your laundry soft and smell good and I tried it and since I am never going back 😂😅
The posture part is so true I am still working on that and sometimes I will see someone not having a fixed posture that will reminds me of fixing mine and funny how when I am fixing it I could literally feel the difference s’y the end of the day I have less pain
I am trying to respond to every of your chapter in videos but I just want to say thank you because it is quite helpful and it is a good reminder to still doing things slowly and in a small way so that we could build something bigger in the long run.
Have a blessing day ❤😊
00:00 Intro
02:41 Hair oil to hair serum
lovely video, but please, PLEASE, do not mix your vinegar and bleach. It will create chlorine gas, which is highly toxic
05:53 Add vineger to laundry
08:07 Fix your posture
Thank you for being honest about struggling with hygiene. It’s one of those taboo topics that one likes to talk about 😊
09:37 Product on damp skin
12:05 Keep lips moisturized
hello everyone! it’s currently January 30th. and I’ve been pretty consistent with a few things. Sometimes I forget because I’m really tired at night, but I’ve been fairly consistent with it and I’m very happy. Those things are honestly my recent non-negotiables. kerastase hair night serum, Eyelash serum, eyebrow serum, lip, mask, hand, cream, feminine probiotic, and nail cuticle oil. simple steps but genuine make me feel like I have my life together lollll. anyways, I will definitely do the whole applying while skin is damp even though i also do not like the feeling especially when i have long sleeve pjs (its freezing out) but i want my skin to be glowly and smooth by summer! face and body! I also want my hair to be less frizzy & more defined and my skin to be clear so i can go out with less makeup and just glowy skin care. that to me is a clean girl look. however i do want to wear minimal makeup to work and church. I also have a girls only gym membership. i LOVE it. havent gone in a minute because of the snow here and i had class everyday from 6-9pm in January so it was definitely a little hard for me (they only have specific times and i opt for 4:30 or 7pm because im not an early riser unless its for school lol) anyways I also wanna wake up early at 6:30 for liturgy on Sunday i know i said im not an early riser but waking up before the world and starting my day with such a beautiful prayer with Christ❤ such a vibe! i also have been consistent every night reading my bible! i miss some days sometimes😢 but i always try to do it. reading the book of Luke rn❤

@TARANDEEPKAUR-em8csWait grlllll u Ethiopian why didn't ik till now I watch u everytime specially when I'm doing home chores.... U have no idea how I just stuck any way luv yaa
@Hanan-l6hUsing vinegar in laundry is awesome for getting rid of smells! But constant use can deteriorate your washer’s seal because it’s acidic. So if u do laundry a lot or big loads, use it minimally. And I recommend alternating between using vinegar and using tbsp of baking soda with a fragrance-free detergent. Use wool dryer balls if u use a dryer and u can add a few drops of essential oils (I use 3-4 drops of chocolate scented oils per ball🤭)
@Kewl123GirlAfter the shower I use body butters and body oils preferably Vaseline body oil the cocoa glow in the sun kiss one are amazing if that’s the name of them either way I love them!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
@cartierrcoseyy4105I drag almost all my face products onto my lips. So my milky toner, moisturizer + rosehip seed oil mix, and of course aquaphor. I wake up with soft lips every morning. I haven't had the need to use my physical lip scrub but I still do it now and then anyway.

@onelucky84There are just some girls who look clean. I mean, you are sure they smell nice just by looking bc their aura is clean. What is their secret? ı want to be an effortlessly clean girly too 😭
@ysoowooJust found you and I’m obsessed! That intro!
@itsjustchiamakaVinegar can be harsh on your pipes so an alternative is an enzyme based cleaner like downy rinse and a laundry sanitizer if your clothes are really dirty. Stay away from fabric softener. Ruins your clothes by depositing a layer of nice smelling plastic on your clothes. Fabric softener also attracts odors
@theonlydyemondDoing what I'm supposed to do everyday.
@cyberspace7208Yess please make a hair video, with low manipulation hairstyles as well for people that have to have their hair up for school and stuff
@saraharnold5863hi xara, thank you so much for this series it’s really more helpful than you think!! i’ve been locked in for two months straight going to the gym and adding more and more habits slowly that i’ve always wanted to implement in my life, right now i wanna focus on body care, especially feet, wether cream or stretches, i have achilles tendinitis and i used to do little morning and night exercises that i learned in physical therapy that stopped my pain and i wanna go back to that and yoga for my back! thanks so much for the giveaway, i wanted to ask if you have any naturium body wash, moisturizer or serum to giveaway bc id love to enter to win some! im from switzerland and this brand is completely inaccessible to me, no websites sell it (not even iHerb) and even the official website doesn’t ship to switzerland! im also broke so that would so appreciated!! thanks again, my insta is @inesdreedy please keep this series going 🥹🫶🏼
@inesdreedyI use The Oridnary's Glycolic Acid 7% on my feet and top it off with rich moisturiser eveynight for baby soft feet. Again, it's a Glycolic Acid but in liquid form. I find its many applications - scalp, feet, whole body, face.
@alexandrak4180After shower… I immediately use Neutrogena Light Sesame Body Oil before anything else while water is still on my skin… this has been my regimen for 25+ years bc I have Keratosis Polaris and it helps my breakouts. My skin is always soft. Plus, wash my skin with body scrub 3xs a day in the beginning but now it’s daily bc I’m use to it and I’m not out in the sun. Some people are sensitive when they exfoliate and go out in the sun. Everyone is different.
@arosa6883Gorl i love u :)
@yeabtsegamekonnen1615Great video as always Sara 🥰
I’m locking in good vibes only ✨
This lock-in season, I’m focusing on myself in ways I never have before. I’ve realized that I can’t keep pouring into others while leaving myself empty. So I’m locking in self-respect, boundaries, and intentional peace. Not every invite deserves a yes, not every situation needs my energy. I’m choosing growth, even if it means walking alone for a while! Xara love you from france 🤍
@betsyteas8959Xara you are so pretty and i love when you talk about god
@Fannycutie12315:00 This speed-washing is a vestige of our school days! For nigh on 15 years of our early lives, many people were accustomed to making haste in order to not miss the school bus, tardy bell, etc. This is probably why many people still equate getting prepared for the day with putting a mad rush on the process.
@HRHQueenMimitheStylishPlease what are the lipglosses you have added to your collection. These tips are so helpful.
@destinyraeburn3295I'm obsessed with your content sara!! 😍
I'm locking in my cozy girl era, calm, and cutting off bad vibes 😌
Every day is about getting better; learning, improving, and becoming a stronger version of myself 🤍
@annastars19THE QUEEN POSTED ...OMGG LOVEEE HERR!!!!!!! AND YES TIME TO LOCK INNNN
@DeboraHandisoPlease make the a full hair video and can make a full video talking about supplement you take 🙏 🙂 ☺️
@LonniMclovenHie Xara. Can we talk deodorant please🥺. I've currently been using the Dove cucumber roll on, and as the day goes on, as my body turns warm, the smell turns into something I don't like. It doesn't stink stink, but it's not pleasant for me. So could you dive deeper into deodorants
@callme.sweetsyThis season I lock in healing 🥺
@NoranaMpho-yp6nyThis season gave me space to look inward. I’ve learned more about who I am what inspires me, what drains me, and what truly matters. I now better understand my passions, my limits, and the kind of person I want to become. I lock in that self-awareness and promise to continue growing! Love from sydney 💕💕
@zanaydapinky“Slow down in the shower like what’s chasing us?” My water bills, they’re chasing me..
(I’m only kidding I love your vids so much!!)
If you got sensory issues about wearing socks to bed like me what I do is do my foot routine which is a thick body cream and then Vaseline (I'm definitely adding the glycolic acid stick) a couple hours before bed and wear the socks until you go to sleep sometimes I kick em off in my sleep if I forget but my feet are still soft in the morning
