To feel sexy is to feel excited and confident. In a world where women are expected to look, dress, and act a certain way, it can be difficult to wake up everyday feeling confident in your own skin. You should never have to rely on another person to make you feel confident, sexy, or for your general happiness, so taking a little extra time for yourself every day can not only boost your mood, but your overall self-esteem.

Here are 11 of our favorite ways that we help ourselves feel sexy every day:

1. Put on your favorite bright lipstick shade. Pick a red, orange, or bright pink that makes your lips stand out, and makes you happy to see when you look in the mirror.
2. Wear lingerie under your work clothes. Now you have a dirty secret that none of your colleagues know about. Bonus points are awarded for using it later that night.
3. Dance around in your underwear to your favorite songs. I don’t know about you, but we are currently jamming out to Don’t Wanna Know by Maroon 5 and Shape of You by Ed Sheeran. 
4. Take a luxurious bath. Throw in some bath bombs, candles, the whole nine yards. Try some DIY spa treatments, slap on a face mask, and let the hot water melt away your troubles.
5. Look at yourself naked in the mirror and admire your natural beauty. Make a list of things you love about your body. No negative thoughts allowed.
6. Spend extra time getting ready, even if you end up staying home. Curl your hair, try that new eyeliner you’ve been saving, then take a bunch of selfies to commemorate the moment.
7. Splurge on a healthy meal you love. Feeling bloated and overly full does not make us feel sexy at all. Pick a few foods that make you feel super healthy, and go for some that will make your skin glow, like carrots, salmon, spinach, or blueberries.
8. Squeeze in a workout. Even if you don’t necessarily love being sweaty, the endorphins you get from exercising make it all worth it, and it will also help you unwind from any stress brought on during your day.
9. Watch a romantic movie that stars your celeb crush. “I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday” I can watch Ryan Gosling all day. Tissues recommended. 
10. Treat yourself to eyelash extensions, eyebrow threading, or a mani/pedi. That thing you never do because you never have time? Make time, make the appointment, and enjoy your pampering.
11. Make an appointment for a boudoir session. Nothing makes us feel sexier than posing for a photoshoot and feeling like a total girl boss. Fearlessly Feminine photography is all about letting your inner beauty shine through, so let us help you show yourself, your beau, or the world how spectacular you really are.
