all-around self care masterlist
giant self care masterlist!
water, water, water
rule: drink 3 liters a day
benefits of water -
♥ clears up your skin!
♥ fills up your stomach!
♥ improves your digestion!
♥ alleviates headaches!
♥ overall, just helps your body extremely!
how to eat your water (some of my favs!) -
♥ pineapples are 87% water
♥ strawberries are 92% water
♥ zucchinis are 95% water
♥ cucumbers are 96% water
♥ watermelons are 92% water
♥ celery is 96% water
♥ apples are 84% water
♥ sucking on ice is also good!
here comes the tea rule: drink teas to curve appetites and get some benefits some great teas and their equally great properties - ♥ green tea, 0 calories (speeds up your metabolism and is delicious) ♥ chamomile tea, 2 calories (helps with cramps) ♥ hibiscus tea, 88 calories (lowers blood pressure and promotes relaxation) ♥ black tea, 2 calories (improves cardiovascular health) ♥ ginger tea, 9 calories (another metabolism booster and boosts immune health)
take ya vitamins rule: take your daily vitamins in the morning and at night some good vitamins for protection - ♥ calcium (when you aren’t getting enough in your diet, take some calcium pills to keep your bones strong and from being brittle) ♥ melatonin (if you have insomnia, like me, melatonin can help with falling asleep) ♥ iron (it’s easy to get this through red meat or green vegetables, but for vegetarians or people who get enough, iron vitamins are good to get the essential component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells) ♥ fish oil (helps hair and nail growth) ♥ fiber (fiber helps your metabolism speed up and your digestion work better, a lot of people don’t get enough of fiber in their diet so it wouldn’t hurt to take some fiber vitamins) ♥ vitamin b-6/b-12 (another vitamin that speeds up the metabolism)
taste the rainbow rule: you can eat as much raw fruit and veggies as you want, but keep it colorful! the rainbow of foods - ♥ red: heart healthy, decreases blood pressure, helps cell renewal, skin protection ☺ one cup of bell peppers is 20 calories ☺ one cup of apples is 65 calories ☺ one cup of watermelon is 47 calories ☺ one cup of red onions are 67 calories ☺ one cup of tomatoes is 32 calories ☺ one cup of radishes is 18 calories ♥ orange: helps immune system, supports eyesight, antioxidants, heart healthy ☺ one cup of carrots is 50 calories ☺ one cup of pumpkin is 26 calories ☺ one cup of papaya is 98 calories ☺ one cup of oranges is 85 calories ☺ one cup of mango is 99 calories ♥ yellow: lowers cholesterol, helps joints and tissue, supports eyesight, helps skin ☺ one cup of corn 132 calories ☺ one cup of banana is 133 calories ☺ one cup of pineapple is 82 calories ♥ green: improves digestion, helps eyesight, immune system support, bone strength ☺ one cup of green beans is 31 calories ☺ one cup of asparagus is 27 calories ☺ one cup of zucchini is 17 calories ☺ one cup of cucumber is 16 calories ☺ one cup of broccoli is 34 calories ☺ one cup of celery is 20 calories ♥ indigo: helps blood flow, improves memory, anti-aging, helps urinary system ☺ one cup of eggplant is 20 calories ☺ one cup of grapes is 62 calories ☺ one cup of blueberries is 85 calories
ya nasty rule: shower/bathe everyday hygiene routine that’s under an hour* ♥ set the mood - 5 mins (start up some music, set out your tools, lay out some clothes) ♥ turn on the water - like 2 mins (make sure the water isn’t too hot, which can damage your hair and your skin, or too cold that’ll make it hard to do anything) ♥ wet your hair, shampoo, and rinse - 3 mins (you shouldn’t shampoo everyday because it’ll dry out your hair by over washing, so do it every other day) ♥ after rinsing, condition your hair and loosely tie it with a hair tie - 2 mins (you shouldn’t immediately rinse out the conditioner so then your hair takes in the full effect of it, and by tying it you can keep it from mixing with your body wash etc) ♥ take your loofah, or washcloth, put some body wash or soap, and exfoliate/wash your skin - 5 mins (exfoliating is important to clear away the dead skin that builds up, make sure you get every part of your body!! + if you have a vagina, please please please do not use and soaps to clean it because that can screw up it’s pH, causing yeast infections, so water and a washcloth will suffice) ♥ [optional] when you are fully rinsed, you can shave if you want - 5 to 10 mins (use conditioner as shaving cream because it softens the hair) ♥ now wash out the conditioner - 2 mins (be gentle, but make sure you run your fingers through your hair to detangle) ♥ turn off the shower and dry off - 10 mins (dry off every crack and nook of your body, and although it isn’t recommended, dry off your hair with the up-do way, or by patting it dry) ♥ moisturize! - 5 mins (use fragrance-free or gentle body lotion and moisturize your arms, legs, body etc. if you have boobs, do not neglect with safe lotion, chapped nipples are not fun! also, here you can self exam, or even when you were in the shower. my people with testis, self exam too! self examinations are key for a healthy life!) ♥ wash face - 2 mins (with a brush, use a gentle or prescribed facial wash and wash your face) ♥ [optional] face mask - 5 to 20 mins (i love face masks!!! i do two per week ad i should probably stop but its a nice way to self-pamper and are a lot of fun!) ♥ tone face - 1 min (with a cloth or pad, to your face to kill bacteria, i use witch hazel and it does wonders to your skin) ♥ while the toner dries, clean your ears or something else in your routine - 2 mins (i like to let my toner dry, so during that time i clean my ears, moisturize my lips, and apply my eyelash growth serum. i do this because my eyelashes were hella short and i’ve noticed a great change, also burts bees lip balm not only repairs your lips but plumps them!) ♥ apply moisturizer - 1 min (i use a gentle moisturizer, but i also use snail cream for my scars and whatnot, and also spray rose water because my skin gets extremely red and that calms it down. i also have rosacea soooo) ♥ get dressed - 2 mins (if it is nighttime, put some fluffy socks on! you have one life, enjoy it! get comfy!) ♥ gently brush your hair - 2 mins (combing is better, but don’t yank it!) ♥ nails nails nails - 3 mins (if you haven’t, push back your cuticles and apply some oil so then they don’t dry out, jojoba oil is the best btw) ♥ and you’re done! overall, it was around 47 minutes, but of course you can take longer *only if you want hehehe luxury bath for shitty days (okay so last year i was extremely into baths and i still fucking love them, but due to my anxiety, i’ve been having a shit time at taking baths. i know, this is extremely ridiculous, but i have anxiety about not seeing the water, but this is what i would do and it was hella relaxing!!) ♥ set the mood with some music, candles, the smell of the room (aromatherapy is extremely effective! if you smell something pleasing, it’ll affect your mood by sending relaxing signals to your brain, which controls everything. in fact, that works for your entire location. focus on the bathroom, dim the lights, turn on beyonce- the world can be a shit show outside, but the bathroom is your safe space for the next 30 minutes to an hour) ♥ when you run the water (make sure its the perfect temperature), put in your bubble bath, or bath bombs, or salts, but PLEASE be careful! once again, your vag’s pH could be extremely altered! yeast infections are not fun! ♥ optional, but sprinkle some flower petals on the surface of the water. it can be a hassle cleaning it out of the drain, but its another part of the mood. also, if you are like me and neeed something to do, set up a tablet or your phone in a safe space to play a movie or show as you relax. don’t forget a rolled-up washcloth to pad your head! ♥ sit there and soak up! spend sometime to yourself! you could even put a face mask on but it could be accidentally wash it off. ♥ when its time, start to drain the water, and then get up, close the curtain, and rinse off with the shower for like two minutes. this is so unwanted oils or stuff sticks to your skin. then, get out and dry off, and do the rest of the steps in the routine above! i hope you had a nice time! **i have so much more on this topic, so if you want some more, than tell me!
also, ill put an exercise and diet post if you want!

i don’t think chan realizes how even the small things he does affects us so greatly.
he can make someone’s heart melt just by smiling.
he can comfort someone who has been going through a lot just by giving her/him virtual hugs.
he can make someone laugh just by being his dorky self.
he can make someone’s day just by going live.
he can make someone feel loved and accepted through his music and lyrics.
hell, he can save someone’s life with his meaningful words.
he truly is an angel who never fails to amaze me and every stay out there.
christopher bang, thank you.

Stray Kids Prove They’re Experienced Idols in Paris
All throughout the concert, Stray Kids and Stays seemed to understand each other a lot. It let both sides have cute interactions, like when the members turned into conductors who led the choir of Stays. The members were really proud when they managed to make all excited Stays stop screaming at once. Stray Kids were happy that Stays sang along with the songs. They stated that it made them realize people who speak other languages can understand their message too. I.N was especially grateful that the cheers got louder as the concert went on and that he wants Stray Kids to be a group that shares emotions with their fans. It makes no doubts that fans could understand everything the group wanted to say and convey and that this mutual understanding will only grow as time goes by and as Stray Kids release their own music, as the all-rounded artists they are. Stray Kids, a group that debuted less than 2 years ago, is currently touring the world. Their Unveil tour stopped in Paris on July, 30th.
The concert was held at Dock Pullman, a venue that had never hosted K-Pop events before. For fans who were afraid to get lost though, no worries. It was easy to spot the yellow-and-black outfits many Stays were wearing. A dress-code that made reference to “Yellow Wood”, the title of the group’s latest album, released in June.
After entering the venue, the lack of air-conditioning was easy to feel. The concert hadn’t even started but fans were already feeling unwell. Hot enough for the fans to lose their energy? Of course not! It seems the best way Stays found to fight head-to-head with the heat was to hype Stray Kids even more.
Regarding the cheerings from fans, nothing was left out. Stays sang along, jumped around, made bits of the choreo. More noticeably, they made sure to chant the names of each member individually when it was their turn to speak. For Stays, when it comes to Stray Kids, it’s “Nine or None”. They made sure to prove that point by cheering equally for all members. With a slightly more personalized focus on Bangchan, the group’s leader.
Once Bangchan started to speak, fans started chanting “Bangchan President” as well as “Bang Chan Best Leader”. Though it made him obviously happy, it also made him shy and awkward. He almost seemed to not know how to react, until he decided that the focus should be on the whole group. He himself made sure to change the “Bangchan” screams into “Stray Kids” ones. As a true “Best Leader” would actually do.
Regarding the performances, Stray Kids took a stroll down their list of hit tracks. Their career may not belong yet, but they’ve been very active. Their 6 albums and 1 single (including the pre-debut releases) give them plenty of choices for a fun-filled tracklist. Hellevator, District 9, Mirror, My Pace and Side Effects were most probably among the most awaited ones.
For such a young group, they already look amazingly experienced on stage. As they are from JYP Entertainment, it’s not easy for a young group to meet the expectations that K-Pop fans have.
Stray Kids met them for sure – and even exceeded them. They looked at ease on stage. The efforts to create perfect performances were obviously here, but hard to see behind their smiles and good energy. They looked experienced enough to nail the choreographies while enjoying themselves, rather than looking nervous or too focused on their dance moves. They may be following their own pace but still did grow up and spread their wings a lot already.
We’d like to thank MyMusicTaste for having us at the concert. Visit their website to request concerts in your city!
