things i wish i had known when i escaped my family household and couldn't ask my parents for help

invest in a good mattress early on. there are many other ends you can save on - sleep is not one of them. this is key to how much energy you'll have throughout the day

you don't need a bedframe but you do need a slatted bed base (even if it's just pallets)

opening a bank account is easy

there's youtube tutorials for everything. how to install your washing machine, how to use tools, fixing stuff around the place. channels like dad, how do i? are a godsend

change energy provider as soon as your old deal runs out. you'll get better offers elsewhere and avoid price gouging

assemble a basic first aid kid at home: painkillers, probiotics, alcohol wipes, bandages, tweezers, antihistamine tablets - anything you might need in a pinch

and an emergency toolkit: flashlight, extra batteries, a utility knife, an adjustable wrench, multi-tool, duct tape

set your fridge to the lowest temperature it can go. the energy consumption is minimal in difference and it'll give you +4/7 days on most foods

off-brand products are almost always the same in quality and taste, if not better, for half the price

coupons will save you a lot of money in the long run

there's no reason to be shy around employees at the bank/laundromat/store; most people will be happy to help

vegetarian diets are generally cheap if you make food from scratch

breakfast is as important as they say

keep track of your budget in a notebook or excel file - e.g. rent, phone and internet bills, food, leisure so you'll have an overlook on your spending over the months

don't gamble

piracy is okay

stealing from big stores and chains is also ethically okay

keep medical bills and pharmacy receipts for tax returns

also, file your tax returns early

take up a hobby that isn't in front of a screen. pottery, music, going for a run every now and then, stuff that'll keep you busy and sane

and most importantly... you're allowed to get the stuff you want. treat yourself to the occasional mundane thing. a good scented candle. a bath bomb. that body lotion that makes you feel like royalty. the good coffee beans.

you're free and you deserve to be happy.

5 Agere Activities for a Rainy Day (Indoors Edition)

Ciao lovelies! We’re moving into spring here where I am, and with the spring, comes LOTS of rain. There are many outside ideas to do for agere, (and yes, even some rainy day ones!) but today, I’d like to share 5 of my favorite agere activities to do on a rainy day, or on days where I can’t go outside (snow, too hot, etc.)..

All of the ideas I’m sharing today are my personal faves!

Idea #1: Change your doll’s (or stuffies!) outfits….or make them some outfits!

Super old pic, I know (I have wayyy different hair now, lol), but this idea is still one of my faves. Picking new outfits for my dolls is always super fun and sometimes I even have a mini photoshoot with them after changing their looks. I can also turn this idea into a full afternoon of play by setting up a “doll salon” to select their looks and they each get a spray of choice perfumes and hair brushes :) 

If you don’t have clothes for your dolls/stuffies, you can also make them clothing or accessories! I’m aiming to put some tutorials of that sort on the blog and possibly on the Youtube channel soon, but for now, here’s some tutorials that I have already made to get you started:

There are many fun and simple methods for making doll clothing or accessories, I once again have to highly recommend MyFroggyStuff’s Youtube channel for this! She has awesome ideas and she makes it all seem so easy. 

Idea #2: Take a fun Bubble Bath!

Taking a fun and relaxing bath is a nice way to both regress, and practice self-care! You can find cute bath toys like these at dollar stores, and bath bombs, bubble bath, bath fizzies, etc as well! I even love buying the “bath puppets” which are just washcloths that go on your hands like a puppet, and are shaped like animals! I have a sharkie and a froggie. When I take baths or showers, I like to imagine going through a checklist with my scrubby buddy (most often Mr Sharkie) to make sure I get 1000000% clean! Sometimes I even make a little song of this and hum it to myself. :)

It’s also nice having access to fun body washes and soap! My current favorite body wash is scented from “Viva las Vegas SWEET” which is some kind of perfume thing, but it smells like candy, and it looks cute out of the tube! (it’s pink and shimmery 0.0)

I’ve also seen body washes for babyshark, Barbie, and other kids franchises! Oh, and even some grown-ups products are still cute for this too! I have a Hello Kitty sugar scrub that was intended for grown-ups, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t cute anyway! :) Oh, and Crayola makes body wash “crayons” as well, the tubes are crayon shaped and the body washes are colorful!

Okie, okie, that’s a lot of me rambling about baths, sorry >.<

Idea #3: Play Video Games!

Sometimes there’s nothing better than wearing comfy clothes, having a nice snack, and playing video games! On rainy days this activity feels super cozy and wonderful, and there are lots of games out there that are cute and good for agere!

My current faves are Animal Crossing New Horizons on my Switch, Sandbox Coloring App on my phone, Nintendogs on my 3Ds, and Minecraft on my PC! I love that games are on a lot of different devices, so that I can always find something to do~

I think Animal Crossing is a really cool game for age regressors, and the New Horizons one is very cute for a lot of reasons! I can dress my avatar up in cute fashions and i can even buy…..pacis! and…..Cute kawaii dresses!!! :0 You could make your dream agere outfits in this game, and i do it all the time, tbh!

Idea #4: Journaling or Writing in a Diary!

I love love love my regression journal! I use stickers, washi tape, coloring pages, crayons, markers, and more on it, and it’s really freeing to have a journal that doesn’t need to be neat or tidy. My daily journal is also my regression journal, as I am someone who is semi-regressed all the time! :3 I also do vent journal entries in this journal (to share with my therapist), and lists, collages, doodles, info pages…lots of things! 

I have an article on here actually about Agere Journaling! 

I also want to briefly ramble about my stickers, I have found 2 really good sources of stickers for my journal. The first is a subscription service called Stickii, which sends you a themed sticker pack every month, these packs include stickers from lots of independent artists and I really love each one I’ve gotten so far (I’ve gotten 2 so far.) **DISCLAIMER: I am not sponsored or affiliated with this brand, I just wanted to give a personal recommendation! 

The second is Blippo Kawaii Shop, which sells sticker mystery bags which I have an opening video of on OFT’s IG! :) I love their selection of kawaii stickers, and it’s always fun getting a package from them. Also… once again: **DISCLAIMER: I am not sponsored or affiliated with this brand, I just wanted to give a personal recommendation! 

Idea #5: Play with Legos or building blocks! 

Something that I love doing when I am small is playing with building blocks or legos! I like the Minecraft sets or the dollar store legos! :) I use the legos to build things for my mini town and dollhouse, as well as make dollrooms! :) 

Megablocks have larger blocks as well if you regress younger and want something more simple. Also… once again: **DISCLAIMER: I am not sponsored or affiliated with this brand, I just wanted to give a personal recommendation! 

You can use building blocks to make obstacle courses for your minis, specific types of buildings for playing pretend, mecha robots for epic battles…….>.<’ sorry my brain totally went to gundam XD

They also sell building block sets for making iconic characters like pikachu and other pokemon, as well as other anime and game characters! I think this type of block is called a nano block.

CONCLUSION: 

What do you think of these 5 agere activities for a rainy day? What activities are your favorite when small? Let me know in the comments, I love hearing from you lovelies and having great discussions!

And now for the most important thing in this outro…..I get to say……

STAY AWESOME!! You are awesome, just as you are, and you should look at yourself with love and kindness. Don’t forget to love yourself, whether you practice self-care, treat yourself, or take care of your future self by getting a task done ahead of time, self love is important!

Okie, all my ramblings aside, see you in my next post, video, or whatever comes next!

The essence of self-care and why it matters

Self-care isn't just about pampering yourself; it's about taking care of your overall well-being. It's making sure you are mentally, physically, and emotionally balanced. Think of it like this: if you don't take care of your car, it won't run properly. The same goes for you. If you ignore your needs, you won't function at your best. The essence of self-care is recognizing that you're important and that your health and happiness matter. It's about giving yourself permission to take time for activities that nourish you. Whether it's a skincare routine, a hobby that relaxes you, or just quiet time to reflect, every bit counts. Remember, self-care is not selfish; it's necessary. So, embrace it with the help of simple DIY ideas and make it a staple in your life.

Mix it, apply on your face for 15 minutes, and rinse. It's perfect for a glowing complexion. Next, is theCoffee Scrub. Combine ground coffee, brown sugar, and coconut oil.

Next, they're all about ditching harsh chemicals. Homemade masks come into play here. Ingredients like avocado, honey, and egg can nourish your hair beyond what you thought possible. And guess what?

Then, there's the art of aromatherapy. Imagine lighting a scented candle or diffusing essential oils; lavender or chamomile scents are champions at easing stress. Breathing exercises come next. Inhale deeply, hold it, and then slowly exhale. Doing this for a few minutes can seriously lower your stress levels. Florafinessesbeauty encourages journaling too. Pouring your thoughts onto paper can be liberating and help clear your mind. Lastly, what about a DIY spa day? From homemade face masks to simple soaking salts for your bath, creating an at-home spa experience is a top tip for unwinding.

Incorporating nature into your routine with Florafinessesbeauty

Florafinessesbeauty on YouTube is your go-to for bringing the outdoors inside. Think simple, natural ingredients for your skin and hair. Imagine replacing store-bought products with ones you make from what's in your kitchen or garden. Lemons, honey, aloe vera - these aren't just for your tea or salad; they're skincare heroes. Florafinessesbeauty shows you how. Mix honey with coffee grounds for an exfoliating face scrub. Aloe vera? Perfect for a soothing mask. The idea is not about being fancy; it's about being smart with what nature offers. And the best part? It's kind to your wallet and the earth. By following these DIY tips, you're not just caring for yourself; you're embracing a lifestyle that values simplicity, sustainability, and natural wellbeing.

Building a self-care kit with recommendations from the channel

First up, building a self-care kit is a game-changer. The folks over at Florafinessesbeauty YouTube channel are all about empowering us to take care of ourselves without breaking the bank. They know the importance of feeling good inside and out. So, what goes into a self-care kit? Think of it as putting together a toolbox but for your well-being.

Start with some basics for skin care. Florafinessesbeauty suggests homemade masks and natural moisturizers. They often share recipes using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Next, add in some mental wellness tools. This could be a journal for daily reflections or a list of meditation apps they've reviewed. Don't forget about physical health. Maybe a yoga mat for those morning stretches or a jump rope for quick cardio.

The beauty of this DIY approach? It's tailored by you, for you. Florafinessesbeauty encourages using items that speak to you personally. If a certain scented candle calms your mind, throw it in the kit. Love a particular tea for unwinding? Add that too.

Remember, this kit isn't static. As your needs change, so can your kit. Florafinessesbeauty's continuous flow of ideas means there's always something new to try. Building this self-care kit isn't just about the items; it's about setting up a practice of taking time for yourself. And that's a routine worth investing in.

How to stay motivated and consistent in your self-care journey

Staying motivated and consistent in your self-care journey might seem tough, but it's doable with the right mindset and tricks. Start by setting realistic goals. Don't aim to mimic a two-hour morning routine you saw online if you can barely spare 30 minutes. Keep it simple. Maybe start with a 5-minute meditation or a quick skincare routine. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small. Did you drink more water today? That’s a win. Connect with a community, like the followers of Florafinessesbeauty. Sharing your progress and seeing others succeed can boost your spirits. Mix it up to keep it fresh. Bored of your current routine? Florafinessesbeauty has tons of DIY ideas to try something new. Lastly, remember why you started. Self-care is not just about looking good but feeling good and taking care of your well-being. Keep these points in mind, and watch your self-care routine transform into a habit you look forward to.

Handmade Gifts For Women's Day

Introduction

Women's Day is an important occasion to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women all over the world. It's a day to show appreciation for the women in our lives and to honor their contributions to society. One way to do this is by giving them a special gift. Handmade gifts are a great option as they are unique, personal, and show that you have put thought and effort into the gift. In this article, we will explore some handmade gift ideas for Women's Day that are sure to impress.

Homemade Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are a great gift for women who enjoy taking long baths and pampering themselves. Making your own bath bombs is surprisingly easy and requires just a few ingredients such as baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and essential oils. You can also add color and glitter for a more festive touch. There are many tutorials available online that can guide you through the process, and you can customize the scents and colors to the recipient's preferences.

Personalized Photo Frame

A personalized photo frame is a thoughtful gift that will remind the recipient of a special memory or moment. You can decorate a plain wooden frame with paint, glitter, or decoupage, and then add a photo of the two of you together or a photo that is meaningful to the recipient. You can also add a special message or quote to the frame to make it even more personal.

Handmade Jewelry

Handmade jewelry is a timeless gift that will never go out of style. You can make a simple necklace or bracelet using beads, wire, and clasps, or you can take it to the next level by learning how to make more intricate pieces such as earrings or a pendant. There are many online tutorials available to help you learn the basics of jewelry making, and you can customize the colors and style to the recipient's taste.

Homemade Body Scrub

Body scrubs are another great gift for women who enjoy taking care of their skin. Making your own body scrub is easy and requires just a few ingredients such as sugar, coconut oil, and essential oils. You can also add color and fragrance to make it more appealing. Body scrubs are a great way to exfoliate the skin and leave it feeling soft and smooth.

Handmade Soap

Handmade soap is a luxurious gift that is both practical and beautiful. You can make your own soap using natural ingredients such as coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter, and then add essential oils and natural colorants for a customized look and scent. There are many online tutorials available to help you learn the basics of soap making, and you can experiment with different ingredients and scents to create a truly unique gift.

Hand-Knit Scarf

A hand-knit scarf is a cozy and practical gift that will keep the recipient warm and stylish during the colder months. You can choose a simple pattern and use a soft yarn in a favorite color, or you can challenge yourself with a more intricate pattern and experiment with different textures and colors. Knitting is a relaxing and rewarding hobby that can produce beautiful results.

Hand-Painted Mug

A hand-painted mug is a fun and creative gift that can be personalized with a favorite design or quote. You can purchase a plain white ceramic mug and use acrylic paint to create your own design, or you can use a stencil to create a more polished look. The recipient can use the mug for their morning coffee or tea and think of you every time they use it.

Homemade Candles

Homemade candles are a soothing and aromatic gift that can be customized with different scents and colors. You can purchase candle wax and wicks at a craft store and then add essential oils and natural colorants to create a unique scent

DNP Rewatch: Never Have I Ever!

Date video was published: 01/17/2020 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 406

The first video of 2020! A nice 'easy' video for the start of the year. Also the first story-type video for Phil since coming out (not counting the draw my life).

0:00 - love that his painting from Trying To Follow A Festive Bob Ross Tutorial! is now in the background. also he turned on the lava lamp too late...it’s doing nothing in this video

0:02 - why did he say “period” so weirdly

0:06 - he did post several of those

0:16 - love the running “Phil.exe” annotation joke. also, now he’s done the Never Have I Ever concept a lot with his Shorts videos

0:35 - that “naked” was very intense

0:48 - a chance to tell stories he couldn’t tell pre-coming-out

0:56 - that is very censored... “and no comment” yeah don’t think I want to know 😳

1:10 - um. well this is a start. somewhat surprised he left one in that he skipped over

1:14 - love the giant “LIES”

1:24 - why is he sharing so much about his wedgie issues 😂

1:44 - “self butt fondler” sure

1:55 - Phil is amused by these questions...also he didn’t give an answer to that one, lol

2:00 - nooooo, dapg clips make me sad

2:13 - can’t believe he didn’t eat a bug ever as a child

2:17 - does it? my first assumption would just be like, colored it with a bath bomb or something. but either way, we see where Phil’s mind is...

2:30 - why is there so much pee

2:52 - “that’s a dodgy one to admit to...” no shit

2:54 - let me tell you...my shock the first time I watched this, when Phil started a story for this question

3:20 - the build up to the story is great

3:37 - love the “I’m gay” as the first thing

3:45 - I mean...I guess that is one way to get out of the situation. also was saying “tongue session” necessary 👀

4:07 - again...just didn’t answer the question. he only answers about every-other-one 😂

4:09 - but Dan has

4:28 - he is very consistent on that

4:43 - someone always takes it too far

4:48 - he promoed the video with this photo of course

4:59 - what does that even mean. I’m glad Phil can laugh about it now

5:20 - I don’t think I would want to see angry intense Phil

5:46 - love that you can see Phil remembering things

5:51 - poor Kath, lol

6:07 - radio show! also, Phil knowing he can just find a clip of that immediately

6:30 - Kath with the solid advice and the random questions

6:50 - yeah I’m with Phil here; can’t go too long without brushing my teeth or I feel gross

6:57 - ...did he need to say it like that

7:05 - still can’t believe his parents let him walk around with that hair

7:16 - that is a very loud animal noise, yikes

7:27 - this is such a Phil reason to get kicked out of a bar

7:39 - Phil really does like boats it seems

7:53 - good advice there from Phil

7:59 - “who wrote this, an alien?” 😂

8:08 - they scare me slightly too...maybe not for that specific reason

8:21 - the targeted ads really know him, haha

8:32 - love his reaction to that

8:40 - aww, nice but gullible Phil

9:06 - agree about the wording; he is certainly giggling a lot at that though

9:18 - “I got to talk about pee a lot” priorities?

9:40 - the endscreen on this one is very long

I guess my summary of this video could just be “why, Phil?!” It is a very amusing one and I like hearing new Phil stories that he hadn’t told before.

DNP were both back in London for the New Year (1, 2) and then had a relaxing early January (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), as usual. They also went to a VR bar with Martyn and Cornelia (1, 2, 3, 4). When Phil filmed and posted this video, he was home by himself. This is when Dan was in LA for mysterious meeting reasons (1, 2). They did talk a bit in one of the stereo shows that it was for potential joint projects.

S3 Ep1

Haha, I'm in danger

Oooh, the menu screen already has an edgy feel to it wtf

I KNOW this is the season with the angst IDK if I'm ready tbh

Opening narration?

This is so ominous

White Gorilla?

Haha his name sounds like skunkape

Pfft, the boys like him even though he's a tool

There's a cathouse in their prison

The narrator has a very punchable face

Girl Stinky!

Oh? We can play as Max?

Wow, OK, so they just go straight into Max having powers

Wait, is Stinky dating Skunkape?

Not gonna lie, this tutorial is a bit tedious

Harry!

Ew, he's nearly nakey

Aw, Sam hugged Max to teleport

Max is a little too excited to be a bazooka

"Say hello to my little buddy!"

Oh thank God the tutorial is over

This narrator is super fucking pretentious and I want him to shut up

Sam patting Max's head in the opening is cute 🥺

It kind of ruins the surprise factor to have shown us so many of the toys so early tbh

Wait, why can Sam see Max's visions

Skunkape is full of bs

Omg what does this narrator have with actually starting at the beginning 😒

The Commissioner just called to check in I guess

Sam just treats Max developing powers casually

"Toys... toys... we must prepare the toys!" "That's just a typical Friday night for you, Sam!" 👀

"We could just give ourselves tongue baths, like cat and flight attendants do." "Well, OK I guess."

Seriously, how does someone walk away from these games an not realize these two are love interests

I accidentally went into the spaceship early

Oh hey, moleman death.

Also the brain is dead and we need to revive him

Superball!

Sam immediately pulling out his gun when Skunkape gets creepy with Max 🥰

"Does the general want a banana?"

Ok let's go back to the spaceship

Not sure if I like the future vision. I'm not the best at these puzzel type games but I'm worried it'll make it too easy.

Also what does skunkape want with the molemen?

C.O.P.S. are freeloaders now

They don't like Skunkape because he brought advanced technology to earth

Bluster Blaster went to Vegas with Bosco

The demons in the Desoto aren't so bad as long as we "don't turn on the ac."

"Why do we have jumper cables, neither of us know how to use them." "It's simple, Sam! The red cable clamps to the left nipple and the black cable--" "Neither of us know how to use them legally, Max."

Let's got to Stinky's!

Flint Paper us here!

Oooh, it looks different.

"Where do you keep all that change?" "In my sock, of course." "You're naked, where do you keep your sock?" "That's... none of your damn buisness."

"But your the only hairy, overweight, domineering control freak I need, Sam." "Gee thanks, Max. ...I think."

Let's talk to... Flint 😍

He just wants to focus on his spaghetti which, y'know, fair

Whoops, I made Sam try to sneak into the kitchen

Pfft ge immediately Blairs Max when he gets caught

Girl Stinky still refusing to call the boys by their names

Ok so the fry cook is missing and she's most likely lying about the power core

Of course we can't just take the demon broth

I missed Grandpa Stinky 👴

Wait, wouldn't Girl Stinky be his daughter, not his granddaughter?

Stinky knows about the space gorillas???

Time to go in the sewers!

Blah, Sybil and Abe are still together 😓

Let's visit Mama Bosco

Ooooh, Sam's scared of Mama Bosco's house

I just realized Sam and Max were the ones to cause her death (it was an accident but still)

Mama Bosco is trying

Sam & Max blipped out existence for a moment 😮

Max is refusing to go through the moleman tunnel

"I miss touching things." "Yeah, touching is my third favorite thing to do to things." *Sam and Mama give him weirded out looks* "In case anyone was curious, the second is licking."

Mama Bosco, honey, Skunkape is clearly evil

Mama basically confirming Max is going to explode. Is that where the angst comes in

Sam deliberately hitting the traffic cone made me laugh

Ok, I think I know what to do

Got the broth

Aw, Girl set herself and Gramps up for relationship councilsing.

Why the heck isn't Girl Stinky's cellphone number showing up!?

Omg I forgot to give Flint the helmet I'm so stupid that's why it didn't show up

Wait is Flint married to someone named Doris?

Flint though Stinky and Sam were in, ugh, "cahoots"

Oh, Doris is his allergy specialist

Ok, I got the battery

Yay, the brain is awake!

Oh, he almost rated us out to Skunkape by accident

Max has "the gift"

Max wants to pee on Skunkape

Superball!!!

"I'm president of the United States, why didn't I hear about it?" "It's explained in books, sir." "Oh, right."

Max holding Superball's hand 😭

Oh, wait can we go in the mole room

It's a giant toaster?

Ew all the mole juice is on the floor

Sam immediately goes to hug Sam for the teleport

"ENJOYING THE RIDE SAM!?"

"Note to self, when traveling through Max's brain, keep your eyes shut!"

I tried traveling to Sybil, it didn't work 😢

Oh, Girl Stinky's cellphone!

Oh, Grandpa Stinky has the badge

He gave all that money to Skunkape???

He's in skunkape's army now... great

Poor Max can't reach Stinky to kill him

Oh wait, I think I know what to do.

Haha suck it Gramps

Aw, Skunkape doesn't appreciate him 😢

Let's go back to Mama Bosco

Oooh, Shiny pidgeon

"It's an engagement ring." "Sam, this is so sudden! I-I don't know what to say!" "Quiet, bonehead!"

Can... Can I use the ring on Max?

I can!

The fact that Sam seriously considers proposing to Max right there has me like 🥺💕

At least they're married in the cartoon 💍

I'm just going to play that cutscene again

The doorgorilla won't let us in let's teleport

Ok then! We got thrown out

Let's use the crimetron

Aw, they named the thingy bobber from the sewer Carol

Oooh Pizza

The pigeon actually ate the phone

"Pick up that phone, Max." "I'm not touching it!" "*sighs*"

Oh cool, I like pawn shops

Sam, honey the fact that you could pick up a manhole cover at all is impressive. Those things can weigh anywhere between 70-300 lbs.

New headcanon that Sam has super strength, he's just oblivious to it

Haha, and I thought the space ape was going to slip on the peel

Oh wait, I think I just figured out how to get rid of the space apes at Momma Boscos

Hahaha gorilla fall on other gorilla

Ew, naked mole man

Max looking adoringly at the toy store

Oh, so this is the part they get kidnapped

Ew, the narrator is back 😕

"You'd be surprised just how many fetishes there are that involve Sam and me."

Oh, so Girl Stinky and Skunkape aren't dating

Skunkape sent her a dick pic?!?!?

Oh wow, he really turned it around on us, huh.

How did they not notice the bomb on Max's back until now

Sam smacked Max and now he's just.... hovering in the air

Well, that was easy to get out of

Mama Bosco saved us sort of

Queen 👑

Oh Momma, you crazy inventor

Oh, so we're turning their building into an alternate dimension

"You keep coming up with creepy disaster scenarios that always end with you eating me. It's getting annoying." "If you don't like it then stop looking so damned tasty."

Molemam cultists

The boys' first instinct upon seeing a creepy box is to pull a pandora

Max pointing and laughing as Skunkape gets sucked away is everything

Ew Narrator is back again

Skeleton Sam and Max????

[nuguflops]

is this wellness thing a scam? as tried and tested by me (v depressed person with migraines and dyslexia):

lamps that supposedly imitate sun and help people with jetlag and depression: not a scam (i got mine at tk maxx, it works fine but it's not a gamechanger. just don't use them if you are bipolar bc there's a chance of them triggering mania)

aroma diffusers: not a scam (i had one that doubles as humidifier and it was okay, it's just i have imparied smell so it was whatever for me)

journaling: requires effort that sometimes is hard to come by, not really a scam but it shouldn't be treated as a magic cure (but often is) and not everyone is good with words (which journaling can help improve but it's not guaranteed)

daily walks: as above, also if you hate being perceived .. yea

dry brushing: not a scam (especially if you are touch starved, it feels so nice. proper brushes arent expensive and there are easy to follow tutorials on yt by lymph nodes experts)

mood trackers: not a scam (easier than journaling because (at least i do it like that) you just colour a box / circle etc according to your mood. it's just hard to remember to do it everyday because backlogging kinda defeats the purpose)

memory foam pillows: not a scam (crazy but fixing your posture improves your overall quality of life... who would've thought)

l-tryptophan supplements: hard to say (bc the supplement industry is shady. i had decent results myself but if you are a sweaty person it might make it worse)

sheetmasking: not a scam (but can get $. i had a period in my life when i sheetmasked everyday... i wasnt more stable than i am now, when i do it 1-2 per week, 3 if im feeling crazy)

bath bombs: not a scam (remember to pee after bath and avoid bath bombs with glitter of unknown origin. also you need a bathtub and if you share a flat.. you have to scrub it Well before. and bathbombs are bit expensive ngl)

candles: idk im paranoid of starting a housefire

binaural beats: 50:50 (some like adhd focus ones work for me 100%, but the more subliminal ones are questionable..)

life coaching: 90% scam (i minored in it, trust me. if you have mental illness the coach will either ignore it to get your money or act as they should aka refer you to a mental health specialist. coaching is a thing for normies and majority of coaches don't have any credentials but a weekend course)

steam eye masks: not a scam (these are those eye masks that warm up and feel very relaxing. i like to use them after a long day, but they can too get expensive)

pillow sprays: not a scam (but get one that has natural fragrance (like this works sprays) because the more synthetic ones just... smell and don't work that well)

sleep trackers: not a scam (fit bands tend to have a built in tracker but it liza minelli lies, i used to do the same thing as with mood tracker aka colour a box according to how well i slept)

yoga: not a scam (just don't be a disrespectful white person ok i won't elaborate)

this is 100% my personal experience and i didnt list all my health concerns bc i enjoy privacy 💜

Candle set - there are a lot of nice smelling candles that you can find for a very good price, take some and with a little decorating and nice packaging you got yourself a candle set 

Nail set - again, you can find good and cheap nail polishes, some file and nail clippers, stickers etc.

Add to the list if you want! Have fun with these, it’s always nice to make someone happy. 

[palettes-and-prompts]

Character Palette/Personality Palette

If I have seen the movie/show/or whatever this character is in I will let you know! But if I haven't I'm just gonna give my best guess to their personality or what I think they like and everything. I will make them two palettes, one based on their appearance and one based on what I think their personality is. If you'd rather not see this just block the tag "character palette and personality guess" I figure no one's tagging anything like that so it should be easy to filter out. If you genuinely like this character and I lowkey diss them I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize though, you're going to have to live with it. If you wanna send me a character for a palette and my guess at their personality/interests just drop it on anon and I'll see what I can do.

Alright so this is Masumi Usui from the game A3! which I still haven't played.

He looks like he'd get on one knee and turn to any of his friends and be like "Would thou liketh a Dorito M'lady/M'lord?" And all of his friends just fuckin’ hate him. He's always eating something and when he's not he's complaining that he's hungry. All he does is make meme compilations, eat, and listen to dubstep. I kind of hate him but also I'd probably have fun hanging out with him. I feel like he'd be good to get stuck on an island with because he'd always have snacks in his backpack. He knows every Big Time Rush song. He likes movies made for women and girls and is really good at useless trivia. He hates gorey horror movies and definitely knows at least one Tristan and he fucking hates him. He's the kind of guy who would fuck around and paint his nails and dye his hair. If he went through quarantine you'd find him sitting in front of the sink in the bathroom looking in the mirror with lipstick on and when you ask him what he's doing he just answers "My best." So you just leave him alone for a while after that but he keeps trying to perfect the cat eye look he sees people do in makeup tutorials and he's trying to find out if he looks hot in drag. And the next time you see him he's messaging everyone pictures of himself in makeup like "Be honest, you wont hurt my feelings, would you fuck me if I looked like this?" And all his friends don't wanna respond because if they say yes he'll get cocky but if they say no he /will/ cry. So none of them answer and so he's going to their houses with a face mask on like "You didn't respond to my text so I walked six miles. Do I look hot or do I look ugly. Answer now!" For a guy who doesn't care about a lot of things his skin care is top priority and he's got like headbands and stuff he wears and cuts up little cucumbers to put over his eyes and stuff. He owns seven different bathrobes, one for each day of the week and he has an entire shelf in his bathroom for just bath bombs and bubble bath. He's the obnoxious friend but lowkey everyone's favorite to hang out with, but they would NEVER give him the satisfaction of knowing that. His holiday gifts are always the first one's bought because he's so easy to shop for. His gifts are lowkey kind of mean but very thoughtful. Like, moisturizers and acne treatments. I wouldn't trust him to watch a person but I'd trust him to watch an animal, maybe a plant. His theme song is 'Don't Cha' by the Pussycat Dolls.

Anyway here's his palette based on his character design.

And here is his palette based on what I think his personality is.

General headcanons: salty tofu

I saw a man so beautiful I started crying?

• baby boy.... baby boy....

• salty having a crush on you is... gonna make things difficult for both of you

• he’d rather walk a mile barefoot over legos that are actively on fire than admit he has feelings for anyone

• so as a result he’s... very defensive and quick to end your conversations

• he’s essentially the third grader who’s mean to you cause they have a crush on you lol

• honestly it doesn’t take much to break down that wall though

• even the most basic kindness has him looking at you differently

• but he’s still gonna be high and mighty about it lol

• “don’t you have other duties? Or is this you submitting to being my toy?”

• “I don’t need your attention. Go find someone else to dote on.”

• proceeds to get sad cause you’re not paying attention to him

• you’re gonna have to make the first move, baby boy is a lil bit oblivious when it comes to romance

• and general social interaction

• the second you do, his walls come completely down and he’s a big ol’ cuddly softie

• he also drops the whole toy thing pretty quickly when he sees you’re not happy with it

• “Oh? Do you want to be my toy forever? ... Eh? Why is your expression so unsightly? ... Darn it, okay I was wrong, I won't call you a toy again... So... smile.”

• gets frustrated super easily over small stuff

• most of the time it has to do with people making him feel uncomfortable, or hurt

• he likes to pretend words don’t hurt him, but they really do.

• sometimes if he’s hurt enough, he’ll tear up

• he’s got a sorta hiccup-y cry, his throat locks up making it hard to talk, and he hugs himself tightly. Sometimes he’ll wipe at his face to get rid of the tears.

• if you tease him or poke fun at him for crying he’ll loose his shit

• he can dish out teasing, but he cant really take it in return, especially when he’s vulnerable like that

• but he’d also never tease you for crying either, he mostly just starts feeling angry at whatever made you cry

• “salty you can’t fight a tv screen” “W A T C H M E“

• the best way to cheer him up when’s he’s sad/grumpy?

• be needy

• he likes that you rely on him, even for small things like a hug

• another quick way to get him in a good mood?

• spa day!

• face masks, bath bombs, cucumbers on your eyes, diy manicures, he loves it all!

• his favorite bath bomb is black with just enough glitter that it’s not excessive, and it smells like apricots

• he can’t really relax unless he has some kind of white noise, so you both take turns picking a music playlist

• on days where you just can’t come to an agreement on what to play or who’s turn it is, you both just settle on the 24 hour lo-fi stream.

• likes the water skin boilingly hot, so good luck lmao

• sometimes sits across from you in the tub and just chills, but mostly prefers to have you back against him as to two lean back and enjoy the smells and feeling of the water.

• likes manicures, but can’t paint his nails well himself without making a mess on his fingers

• his hands are just a little shaky as a default, so hes gonna appreciate any help he can get

• won’t admit it tho so you’ve gotta being it up

• “hey maybe we should do each other’s nails!” And run before he does yours

• he also loves getting his hair played with

• there have been times where he’s actually fallen alseep while you messed with his hair because of how relaxed it made him

• he doesn’t like messing with makeup as much

• don’t get me wrong, on himself he wings eyeliner so sharp it can stab someone

• but on someone else? His hands are twitchy as ever and he’s too worried about stabbing you in the eye

• he just sticks to styling your hair

• he’s not absolutely phenomenal with hair, but it doesn’t look bad either, and he tries his best.

• as time goes on he’ll get better with it, and his styles will slowly get more and more impressive.

• chews on his tongue piercing somtimes when idleing

• also he talks a lot, that causes the metal to knock against his teeth somtimes

• because of that his teeth are a little sensitive, so he doesn’t like ice cream or any cold food that much cause like.... ouch

• prefers marzipan and punishingly dark chocolate

• plays his guitar often, would love if you did too!

• if you don’t know how to play very well, for your sake and his, don’t ask for lessons from him.

• he won’t be mean to you, just light teasing

• but his patience level is -18393024 so uhm

• he’s not a very good teacher :(

• he’ll try!

• he can help you with a few chords, but frankly?

• he’s not only been doing this for a long ass time, he’s also just naturally gifted when it comes to music and pitch recognition

• so if you take a while to get it he’s just gonna be “????? Why confusion this easy ?????”

• he tries his best but eventually just sighs and pulls out his phone to play a YouTube tutorial lol

• if you’ve not already got piercings, he’d love to see you with some!

• if you asked about getting them he’d at first tease a little about you wanting to be like him

• then he’d tell you basic care etc cause he’s not a healer, he can’t really help you if you get infected

• he gets really upset to see you in pain so he kinda dotes on you a lot, getting a piercing does nothing but encourage him to make sure you’re doing ok.

• honestly he’s cool with whatever you wanna do, don’t want piercings? “That’s fine, now listen to three days grace with me I’m bored”

• honestly is very laid back when it comes to hanging out with you alone.

• he trusts you with everything he has, why have worries when you’re right here?

• he likes to talk, but he enjoys just sitting in comfortable silence with some kinda white noise just as much.

• literally anything you want to do, he’ll go with you

• not without complaints, but he’ll go

• you don’t even really have to warn him either

• “ I wanna go hiking up an active volcano” “aight lemme grab some snacks and some bug spray”

• normally doesn’t really have a ‘schedule’, just kinda goes wherever. He lives day by day, making time for his basic needs.

• on rare days he’ll drag you around town looking for something to do

• but for the most part he looks to you for plans and schedules because he legit can’t be assed what you two do as long as he’s doing it with you.

• he kinda has this weird thing with math

• that being that he’s freakishly good at it

• it’s just another thing that he just gets

• he also knows that he’s good at it and he’s pretty proud of that

• will be beaming if you ask for help with any kind of math

• will also be proud if you ask him for help with really anything

• gives the classic “ what, can’t handle it yourself?” line and then immediately gets whatever you need done

• very much likes to hug you

• very very much likes to hug you

• his fav is wrapping his arms around you from behind, and if you’re short enough, placing his head on the top of yours. If you’re a bit on the taller side, he settles for your shoulder.

• but there is one thing he likes more than hugs

• cuddling!!!!

• “tonight, I want to hold you as you fall asleep~”

• and he definitely means that.

• he sleeps on his side, only on his back if he’s tired enough to pass out immediately, never on his stomach as it makes him feel weirdly queasy.

• he loves when you’re on your side facing him, and he’s got you in an arm prison.

• tuck your head under his chin and he’ll actually melt into a puddle

• he’s always very warm but he has this weird tick where no matter how hot a room is, he thinks it’s cold

• “cold...” “salty it’s 94 degrees” “c o l d . . . ”

• cuddling with him is pretty pleasant as long as you don’t get hot to easy, cause he piles on the blankets and curls into you like you’re a fire on a -27 degree night.

• honestly when it comes to you, sweet tofu is obsession, salty tofu is possession.

• don’t get me wrong, he’s not keeping you on lockdown

• but he gets jealous very easy lol

• of course more reasonably, he’s not gonna be crying while holding up your phone going “WhO tHe FuCk iS mOm??”

• it’s more that if you’re in public and someone’s gaze lingers just a little to long

• he’s got an arm around you pulling you closer to his side and he’s glaring

• he might be your living teddy bear, but he knows how to make himself look very menacing

• he doesn’t like random strangers talking to you, mainly because he doesn’t know them and therefore does not trust that they don’t have bad intentions

• “He was asking for directions to the chip isle salty” “didn’t like the look in his eye” “he was 15” “and”

• he finds the stories you bring home of being hit on or asked out off putting, but he mostly laughs, saying “did they really think they had a chance with what’s mine?”

• he feels safer knowing that not only will you turn down others flirting, but you’ll openly laugh with him at that person for even trying.

• it’s an ego boost, but it also makes him proud of you for being able to stand your ground.

• but... if someone ever makes advancements toward you on front of him?

• oh no.

• The fool. The buffoon. They have no idea the absolute hell they’ve just unleashed upon themselves.

• he has no qualms defending you with actual violence

• if the time ever comes where he turns his back for a few minutes and comes back to see you looking uncomfortable while some person is trying a little too obviously to flirt with you?

• beat someone’s ass mode: engaged

• he’d come up beside the person and just grab onto their forearm with one hand, the other hand is at his side in such a firm fist that his palms are turning white

• he’s squeezing them punishingly tight as he leans close to their face and asks what the fuck they think they are doing

• safe to say the creep is no longer bothering you.

• poor baby kinda stands for a bit and just pulls you tight into his side, shaking his head and muttering about how shameless some people are

• call him your knight while he’s muttering, it’ll catch him off guard and you’ll get a rare blush from him

• just take him home and cuddle the teddy bear. His poor heart can’t take the thought of some gross stranger taking you away from him.

• the only reason for his jealously is because of his insecurities.

• “what if one day I’m not enough?”

• those thoughts happen less and less as he spends more and more time with you.

• you’ve only proven that you’ll stick with him till the bitter end.

• with your love, and his rock playlist at full blast, can’t really ask for anything else.

[gaydreamkin]

I like the seal nap tutorial. Any other seal/selkie tips? :)

!!!! Thank you! I love taking seal naps, they're so nice and warm and cozy 😴

I dont really have any other tutorial type things (I am looking into pricing for making a faux fur seal skin, so when I do I will have that) but I do have some tips for things that make me feel better when I just really miss being a selkie:

Ocean bath! And I dont mean like the "ocean scent" bath bombs and such, though those are nice, because those dont actually smell like the ocean, do they? I mean like a real ocean bath that SMELLS like home. I have a recipe for my version on my witchcraft blog that I will add a link here for after I post this cause I'm on mobile, so stay tuned.

Get yourself a mermaid tail blanket. They're relatively easy to find these days (mine was a gift from my cousin that she bought at the dollar store when she was a manager there) and they come in both knitted/crocheted versions and fleece versions. It's not a proper seal skin but sometimes it's nice to curl up on the couch and forget you have human legs for a bit.

It depends on my mood if this makes me happier or more sad BUT the Monterey Bay Aquarium has a bunch of live cams on their website. One is a sea lion cam of outside the aquarium, which is sometimes nice to play in the background when I'm doing stuff (I wasnt a sea lion but y'know). Another is a cam of their open ocean exhibit. Sometimes you just need the sea, y'know.

Also if you're hungry and you're not a vegetarian I would suggest ordering sushi (or learning to make it). There's other things in it, obviously, but you'll get that raw fish taste you might be craving. I, however, am vegetarian in this life, and I basically just shove seaweed snacks in my mouth all day to get that nice ocean flavor 🤤

Spring Holidays: Imbolc & How To Celebrate This Old World Festival

According to the Old World Celtic calendar, February 1st (and sometimes the 2nd) marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and August 1st (and sometimes the 2nd) is the first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, and this day is known by a few different names. 

Imbolc, Candlemas, and Groundhog’s Day??

The pagan Celts call this day Imbolc, and it is one of the four fire festivals representing the beginning of each season—Imbolc marking the beginning of spring. This festival was also the time when the Celtic people honor Brighid, the goddess of fertility, handicrafts, and dairy work and keeper of the home and hearth.

After Christianity came to the Celts of Ireland via St. Patrick, converted pagans wanted to continue celebrating their seasonal holidays, so the names of the holidays were changed to Christian names and saints of the Christian faith were worshiped instead of the traditional pagan gods and goddesses. Imbolc was changed to Candlemas, a feast celebrating the presentation of Jesus Christ at the temple as well as the purification of his mother, Mary. In the Christian faith, the focus was taken off of the goddess Brighid and placed on St. Brigid, the Irish nun who devoted her life to the people of Ireland and is often referred to as Saint Brigid’s Day in her honor. 

In America, we celebrate Groundhogs Day on February 1st or 2nd. This is a fun tradition that is used to “predict” whether we will have six more weeks of winter or if spring is on its way. Interestingly enough, this tradition actually has pagan Celtic roots. On Imbolc, it was believed that if the weather was nice, then a creature of Irish folklore, the Cailleach, would go out and collect all the wood available because more winter was to come. However, if the day was wet and windy, the Cailleach would stay inside and sleep and warm weather would be on its way. Hmm…

Today, you will hear this day called by all of the above names depending on who’s using it. 

So is Imbolc or Candlemas a Religious Holiday? 

Well, sort of, but it doesn’t have to be.

I’m not pagan, but I do have a variety of Celtic ancestry. I’m not Catholic, but I am of the Christian faith and have some close Catholic friends. I am American, but I don’t put much stock in whether or not a groundhog sees his shadow or not.

To me, this day represents more of a seasonal holiday than a religious holiday, but if I were pagan, Catholic, or superstitious, then I guess I would celebrate it from a seasonal and religious viewpoint, which I’ll talk even more about below. Alas, because I am none of the above (well, I may be a little superstitious!), I like to think of it as the first of the spring holidays. As far as what to call it goes, I usually call it Imbolc since that’s what it was first known by.

Seasonal Living & What The Beginning of Spring Represents

So why does Imbolc matter to those of us who try to live seasonally?

Well, first, we must understand what Imbolc represents which is the end of winter’s dark, cold days and the coming of light and warmer weather. The time of rest and renewal has passed, and now we must resume our active lives. Imbolc also represents new life as this is the time of year when flowers begin to burst forth from the earth and many animals give birth to spring babies.

At this time of the year, the days begin to warm, the hibernating animals begin to wake from their winter sleep, and the spring bulbs start to pop from the soil slowly filling the brown landscape with their colors. It’s a hopeful time of year!

Imbolc Traditions

Imbolc is traditionally celebrated with fire and light. People would burn fires in the hearth or keep candles lit all through the night. Pagan Celts believed that the goddess Brighid would come to visit in the night blessing them with prosperity and protection. Likewise, converted Celts believed St. Brigid’s spirit would come to bless and protect them. Some people would make dolls out of rushes (called a Brideog), dress them in white dresses with flowers in their hair, and put them in a basket or a makeshift bed near the fire. Others would take rushes, tie them together, and hang at the entrance to the home. Some people would even leave coins, cloth, and other items out to be blessed, and others would make beds by the fire so she would have a place to rest. These and many other old traditions were observed on this festive day.

So how can someone interested in seasonal living celebrate this first day of spring while honoring the traditions of the past if they choose? Here are # ideas to help you if you choose to celebrate Imbolc or Candlemas, no matter what your religious beliefs are.

7 Imbolc Traditions To Celebrate This Year

1. Build A Fire

As I mentioned above, Imbolc is one of the ancient fire festivals that marks the beginning of each season, so what better way to celebrate the significance of this day than by starting a fire. Starting a fire in the fireplace or woodstove will be more in line with ancient traditions, but if you don’t have access to a hearth or stove, you can light lanterns or candles in your home.

Don’t forget to say this little blessing over your home as you do:

Hearth and home, home and hearth, welcoming close our family and friends. Home and hearth, hearth and home, the light returns as winter ends.

2. Make St. Brigid’s Crosses & Brighid Dolls

St. Brigid’s Crosses and Brighid Dolls are common crafts that are made and placed in the home on Candlemas or Imbolc. Here is a St. Brigid’s Cross YouTube tutorial that will show you how to make them. When it comes to making St. Brigid’s Crosses, you can make them with anything. You don’t have to have rushes! You can make them out of strips of paper, pipe cleaners, straws, or other types of grass. Hang these in your home to symbolize the blessing of the home. 

Here’s a Brigid Doll YouTube tutorial that is really easy to make. Your kids can play with these, set them up in their rooms, or place them in baskets in the kitchen or near the stove (not too close though!) to honor St. Brigid.

3. Eat Symbolic Foods

If you’re looking for symbolic foods that represent traditional festivals and holidays, Gather Victoria is THE website to visit. If you’re looking for some special foods to celebrate Imbolc or St. Brigid’s Day, check out these recipes for inspiration: lavender and rosemary seed cake, rosemary oat bannock, lavender tea milk, and these rosemary and lavender lemon curd tassies. 

4. Take a Milk Bath

The goddess Brighid is associated with dairy as is the increase of new births during spring and the resulting mother’s milk that follows. New birth is more than humans and animals. New plants emerge from the soil and sap and nutrients begin to flow through trunks, stems, and branches. For that reason, bathing Cleopatra-style in a milk bath is the perfect activity on Imbolc. This layered wintery milk bath by the oh-so-creative Miss Wondersmith is my go-to!

5. Research the Jewish Tradition of Purification and Presenting Children at the Temple

Curious about the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin or the Presentation of Jesus Christ? If so, do an online search about these Jewish traditions and find out why they are important to Jews and Christians and how they are celebrated in modern times.

6. Start Seeds or Make DIY Seed Bombs

Imbolc is THE time to start seeds indoors so you have seedlings ready when the fear of frost has passed. So grab your seed trays and seed starting soil or some peat pellets, purchase your favorite seeds, gather your heat mats and grow lights (or head to the greenhouse), and get to planting those seeds! If starting seeds isn’t for you, try your hand at making seed paper. Here’s a great seed bomb YouTube tutorial on how to do it with minimal supplies.

7. Predict the Weather

You don’t have to have a groundhog to try your hand at predicting the coming weather. Just head outside to see what the weather is like. If it’s sunny, chances are there are six more weeks of winter weather ahead, but if it’s cloudy, warm spring weather is just around the corner. You can even make this a fun activity by having everyone write their weather predictions down on paper. After four weeks or so, read everyone’s predictions and see who was right.

So now you know all about the spring holiday known as Imbolc, Candlemas, and St. Brigid’s Day. Are you interested in living a more seasonally aligned lifestyle? If so, how will you celebrate this spring holiday this year? Share your thoughts and plans with me in the comments below.

Let me wish you a lovely February and spring season with your friends and family. May your hearth, home, and health be blessed, may your cup overflow, and may your world be filled with warmth, light, and color over the coming months! God bless, friends.
