Here we go again homies

the brandy ♥ melville program

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

this is a one week program i made based on various brandy melville girls on youtube. i've been watching their vlogs and eating videos to curate this program based on what a brandy melville model lifestyle is like. before you start, set a calorie limit for yourself for this program - i recommend taking your TDEE and subtracting 500 from it, which will give you a nice, clean, sustainable weight loss of 2.2lbs a week by default (obviously higher with exercise). for the recommended meals, you can take some food out or add some in to suit your calorie limit.

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

day 1

brandy girls have a refined, straight posture. you'll never catch them slouching or with lazy, drooping shoulders. to improve your posture, stand straight against the wall. pretend the wall is pushing all your limbs towards it and you have no choice but to stand completely straight with your chin up. remain in this position for a few minutes, then, not breaking the posture, walk around so you get used to the feeling.

exercise

take a 1 hour walk with perfect posture. if you get tired, walk slower, but no matter what do NOT slouch. having a good posture can make you look inches taller than you are! not to mention how classy and polished you'll look. finish off with a steady 20 minute jog. if you're unable to jog for whatever reason, do another 1 hour walk.

recommended meals

today is a high carb day so you start off with a lot of energy. have some oatmeal for breakfast, with whatever add-ins fit within your caloric intake. for lunch have some avocado toast (sprouted/whole wheat bread if possible) with any seasonings you'd like. for dinner the choice is yours!

day 2

today is a self-care day so that you can focus on perfecting your skincare routine. do a DIY mask based on your skin type. don't forget sunscreen if you want youthful, age-defying skin. speaking of skin, you know what's bad for it? dairy! it's no wonder why lots of brandy girls avoid dairy or go vegan altogether. milk can increase your blood sugar level which stimulates hormones like testosterone that directly cause more oil. opt for plant based milks (which are also really low cal), or just simply avoid dairy. that means no yogurts, cheeses, or milk.

exercise

since today is a self-care day, do one hour of relaxing yoga and one hour of pilates. (link: https://tinyurl.com/1houryogaaa for yoga, repeat 3 times for pilates i recommend "blogilates" on youtube)

recommended meals

today is kind of a freebie, just don't go over your calorie limit, and no dairy. also, processed carbs can be just as bad as dairy for your skin, so no white bread, white rice, pasta, or sugary cereals, either.

day 3

brandy melville is famous for its chill, laidback californian vibe. you wouldn't be wearing stuffy sweatpants or jeans in the sweltering california heat, would you? brandy girls usually opt for a cute pair of shorts or a high-waisted skirt, so you need to get those legs in shape!

exercise

do a booty/leg workout on youtube. i recommend chloe ting's workouts, they seriously burn so many calories and will get you that brandy body. repeat three times, feel free to take a break in between. (link: https://tinyurl.com/chloeslegworkout)

recommended meals

since you're trying to tone your legs, make sure to consume lots of protein today. for breakfast have some scrambled eggs or tofu scramble. for lunch a simple protein shake of your choice will suffice, use plant based milk/protein powder if you have some available. if not, i highly recommend buying some. for dinner, make a tofu stir fry (link: https://tinyurl.com/tofustirfryxx). if you're using the recipe i attached, modify the ingredients as needed to fit your calories.

day 4

brandy girls are well-known for their advocacy for "juice cleanses." juice cleanses give your metabolism, digestive system, and energy levels a much needed detox. for the sake of this program one day will suffice, but i highly recommend you doing a full three day cleanse once you're done with this program.

exercise

since your legs might be sore, focus on toning those arms today. do 200 push-ups (knee pushups if you're unable to do a regular one) and 30 planks (45s each) scattered throughout the day.

recommended meals

juice cleanse. i personally love these recipes (https://tinyurl.com/...ecleanserecipes) but feel free to use any you'd like. you can also buy premade detox juices if you can afford them.

day 5

water clears your skin and gives you that hydrated, glowing complexion that's trademark of brandy girls. ever notice they don't seem to wear a lot of makeup? today, buy a cute water bottle that you can sip from throughout the day. feel free to add lemon or mint for extra flavor. experiment with other veggies/herbs. try to not drink any alcohol, it's pretty much a waste of calories.

exercise

do chloe ting's "do this everyday to lose weight" (link=https://tinyurl.com/chloetingshred) workout and have a brief water break every set. make sure to drink at least 3 liters of water today, and 2 liters everyday for the rest of the program. repeat at LEAST four times throughout the day. take breaks as needed, but get it done! you can do this!

recommended meals

since we're trying to up our water intake, continuously snack on veggies and fruits with a high water content. for veggies: zucchini (hint: zoodles), cauliflower (cauliflower rice), celery, cucumber, iceberg lettuce, tomato, broccoli, and spinach. for fruits: blueberries, plums, apricots, oranges, pineapples, melons, cantaloupes, and raspberries.

day 6

one of the staples of a brandy girl's wardrobe is crop tops. showing off your lean, toned stomach will be sure to garner the envy of everyone around you. before you start trying to get those chiseled abs, you have to lose fat around your entire body. luckily, working out makes this a simple feat.

exercise

again, do chloe ting's "do this everyday to lose weight" workout (linked earlier). supplement with her HIIT workout (link=https://tinyurl.com/10minhiit). repeat each four times. your body will thank you!

recommended meals

protein day! for breakfast have some proats (blend together vegan protein powder and oats) with any toppings that fit your calories. for lunch, make some lentil stew (recipe that i love: https://tinyurl.com/lentilstewmm). if you're still hungry, for dinner have some cauliflower fried rice (https://tinyurl.com/y65syo2n - vegans can substitute or take out the egg).

day 7

all that hard work led to your first photoshoot! photoshoot days are quite busy. for breakfast you only had time for a cup of green tea before you had to rush to the shoot. you only get one lunch break, and by the time you're home you're so exhausted you forget to eat before you fall asleep.

exercise

during a photoshoot, models are on their feet the entire day. aim for 15k+ steps today and spend as much time as you can standing rather than lounging in bed. don't forget that posture!

recommended meals

today is OMAD (one meal a day). your meal should be packed with nutrients and protein, so i recommend a salad/lots of veggies with a protein such as tofu, tempeh, or some salmon.

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

if you stick to your calorie limit along with this program, you should see results in your body within a week. these results will continue to add up as you repeat the program. good luck, you got this !

Simple Protection Amulet

This is an enchantment spell I wrote a while ago for that lil extra protection boost. I’ve done this spell three times, for three different people (including myself), and it’s worked every time. This spell is especially good for baby witches and closet witches. Keep in mind that this isn’t a super strong spell, it’s kind of like the first piece of armour you buy in a video game. Although it’s not particularly powerful, it’s definitely one of my favourite charms - I like to take it with me when I go travelling, or when I stay the night at someone’s house, so that if I start sensing negative energies I can wear it and have some instant protection magic happening! (note: i have included extra steps for wiccans - just ignore them if you’re not wiccan; although obviously, wiccans are fully-welcome to use the non-wiccan method if they wish to do so)

⛥ gather: black pepper (protection, inner strength, warding), whole cloves (protection, curse-breaking), salt (protection), any protective crystal (e.g. snowflake obsidian, fire agate, black tourmaline, etc; this item is optional), a small bowl, a necklace* to enchant

⛥ cast a circle, if you wish to (totally optional)

⛥ if you’re wiccan, call upon the god and goddess, and give them an offering (e.g. seeds, bread, fresh juice) and ask for them to assist you with this spell

⛥ mix the pepper, cloves and salt together in a bowl - the person who will be wearing the amulet should stir using their finger (on their dominant hand) to mix in their energies

⛥ next, the person who will be wearing the amulet should bury the necklace in the mixture

⛥ wave your hand over the bowl once, anti-clockwise, and say:       wiccan version      i ask the God and the Goddess,      the all-father and all-mother,      to bless this necklace, so that      the wearer, (say name), may be      protected from ill & injury.       witch version      by cleansing salt and earth-grown herb,      beware, destructive beings of woe!      you are kept from (wearer’s name),      by this object’s midnight glow ⛥ wave your hand over the bowl once, clockwise, to seal the spell

⛥ (wiccans, thank the god & goddess and dismiss them)

⛥ you can now remove the amulet from the bowl, and dispose of the herbs/salt inside (keeping the crystal, obviously)

*it should be noted that any other piece of jewelry can be used: a ring, a bracelet, earrings, a brooch, etc.

Homeless Cat Opens Its Eyes For The First Time In Months, Stuns Everyone With Their Beauty

Cotton the cat was alone on the streets, starving, disease-ridden and close to death. His eyes were scabbed over with mange and he was being eaten alive by mites, finding any kind of food without the use of his eyes was next to impossible. But then his guardian angel arrived.

With lots of care, Cotton has finally opened his eyes

being naked is not sexy. wearing a white 18th century shirt with poofy sleeves tucked into a pair of black high waisted trousers is sexy. there are no exceptions

And now a warning about drafts

You ever write up a post you decide will be too controversial or embarrassing but leave it in your drafts to sleep on and then forget about it? How about real personal stuff you weren’t sure you wanted to share at the time? Heavy-ass receipts on bad shit you’re leaving there only just in case you’re forced to use them? Well if any of your drafts get flagged by the new system, a mod can apparently see them in with all your other flagged posts, and if they un-flag them, it publishes them automatically as a brand new post. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Modern Myths Network | Event Six | Colour Palette | moral ↳ Hades and Persephone

[cadet-garner]

“Persephone climbed into her husband’s lap as if it were her throne, as if she never sat anywhere else. Hades, stiff and frightening to eyes of others, let the flower goddess run her fingers through his hair like any love drunk young man tasting the nectar of a woman’s love for the first time. To the world he was an unyielding and merciless king, but for her he was vulnerable and tender.”

— “Sundown,” Chapter 11

The old gods are not dead

I hear Athenas war cry in the shouts of protests, fighting a war now closer to home, I see her in the young women with picket signs clenched tightly in their fists

Hera curses the names of the abusers The ones who break families and marriages Her voice heard in the wedding bells of young lovers

Poseidon now resides in a beach home Going out every night to pick of trash left by the day Shooting daggers at the drunk men letting their bottles be swept away

Demeter can be heard cursing the politicians refusing to believe in global warming Names of scientists and studies on the tip of her tongue She is found teaching young children how to grow their food at the community garden

Ares is found on the front lines of a different war, not fighting but protecting the innocent Guiding classrooms of children away from gunfire, His shield protecting the terrified

Apollo can be found at opens mics Reciting his latest works Or walking down the street in docs on his feet and a guitar on his back He knows he’s the coolest

Artemis is seen on the streets Her bow and arrow have long left her Carrying nothing more than a knife and mace She hunts a different kind of monster now

Hephaestus resides in a workshop at all hours of the night Creating custom pieces for the right price and a warm smile The hammer making him feel invincible

Aphrodite’s song is heard in the breathy kisses of teenagers Shes found walking down the street, lips a blood red Punching the men who dare disrespect her  

Hermes is seen with a smirk as he walks long well-traveled roads Delivering the messages of those needing to be heard Traveling, telling stories, and wearing out another pair of shoes

Dionysus’s voice heard only over the pounding bass in the bar Keeping watch over young girls drinks Dancing, partying and living as he throws another one back

Hades is seen weeping over the graves of those taken much to soon Looking to his wife for comfort He’s long lost his faith in humanity

Persephone found in the gardens beside her mother in the spring Brushing off girl’s dirty knees and putting flower crowns on their heads She can be seen holding onto hades as he mourns the loss of life

Hecate will be found running metaphysical shops Bringing hope to powerful women wanting more Selling potions, nobody thinks will work And collecting graveyard dirt for a new spell

Zeus is watching over everyone Watches Athena cry Hera curse the men, he being one of them Poseidon’s glares Demeter’s harsh words Ares raising his shield Apollos singing Artemis as she tracks a new beast Watches Hephaestus work Sees Aphrodite punch Hears Hermes words Sees hades weep And Persephone plant and comfort her partner And grins as Hecate keeps magic alive

The old gods are not dead

They are alive

And they are watching
