brush your teeth & use a tongue scraper first thing in the morning
drink a full glass of water with a pinch of himalayan or sea salt and add a little bit of lemon. note: If you're gonna add lemon use a straw to avoid damaging your teeth
DIY milk face mask: cool trick to give your skin that instant glow. start off by simply pouring raw milk in an ice tray and allow it to freeze. take an ice cube, rub it on your skin for 3-4 minute. then gently massage your face, do this just before you sleep to wake up to a brighter and fresher face.
try hot & cold gel bead eye mask with collagen pearls: soothe your eyes by heating up (better sleep, decongests sinuses, better blood flow to eye area) or cooling down (soothes tired, reduces dark circles and under-eye puffiness) increasing blood circulation.
use a gua sha and a face roller, it is essential to choose a high-quality, cold-pressed oil, preferably organic. I recommend to use argan or jojoba oil.
buy a water filter !! once the impurities are removed from your tap water it’s much easier for you to achieve clear and vitalized skin
Give a little massage at the end of the day, your body will be grateful! Improves blood circulation while relaxes your stress levels. (I'll be posting soon different kind of massage, trigger points and ways to give yourself a massage more easiliy w objects)
It's a warm Saturday morning, you've just woken up and are making yourself a big cup of coffee to start the day. The birds are chirping outside and you decide to sit out to catch the first rays of sunshine of the day and look at the trees whose leaves are lush green and carry the feeling of summer.
You take your first sip of coffee and feel the warmth slowly spreading through your body.
You take a deep breath and realize that all your worries and negative thoughts are actually not as relevant as you once thought. You realize that all the goals you have set for yourself are actually achievable and so much closer than you thought. You realize that all the time you thought you could always do more and be better and perform better, you were already enough and always will be. In this moment you realize that all these years you have already overcome all the demands, hurdles, unexpected situations, strokes of fate and difficult times. No matter how hopeless your situation seemed, you always found a solution.
Bad thoughts will cross your path again and difficult situations will come your way again in the future, but you can finally take a more relaxed approach to life because you can finally allow yourself to think that you already have everything inside you that will allow you to do what fulfills you and make you happy. You've made it this far, why shouldn't you be able to make it in the future? This is just the beginning of your long journey and happy days will surround you.
You exhale, take another big sip from your cup and feel ready for the day ahead. Ready for the life that awaits you and that you will shape yourself.
a green witch’s guide to keeping cool this summer 🧊
if you’re like me and the summer heat feels like hell on earth, you may want to create some cooling brews to keep you calm, cool, and collected this summer
there are a ton of herbs that have been used across cultures to cool down the body during the hot summer months
examples include:
lemongrass 🍋
chrysanthemum 🌸
lavender 🪻
spearmint 🌱
and many more
now be warned, online you may see other herbs like peppermint, chamomile, and lemon balm listed but these act as a diaphoretic, meaning they will induce sweating, and while sweating is the body’s way of cooling down, it is also a sensory nightmare for folks like myself so you may want to avoid these
instead you should give my signature lavender hibiscus lemonade a try 🌺🍋
-I know this sucks, but if you will be getting sweaty, it’s best to avoid wearing it as much as you can. That sweat will CEMENT a binder onto you and makes compression tops VERY hard to get off. Obviously some places are hotter than others so this may not be a problem for you at all! But where I live it can be 115 degrees just on a casual summer Tuesday
-That said, if you’re wearing your binder out and getting sweaty, BABY POWDER WORKS WONDERS. No stinkum stinkum or chafing, dump that on in the whole thing, not just the paneling. HOWEVER it WILL NOT stop you from sweating. It WILL NOT stop the binder from sticking to you if it’s hot enough. But, it will keep the binder much fresher for much longer.
-Be VERY CAREFUL about overheating. It’s a compressive top. It’s not exactly meant to be breathable. The compression panel will not let in good airflow. If you’re binding even though it’s hot, PLEASE stay well hydrated with electrolytes.
-Part B of that: Strenuous activity is a no-go. I know some people will do a lot of physical activity in their binder (even when you aren’t supposed to!!!) but summer is NOT THE TIME to play with that boundary. You will overheat, and you will get sick.
-Dysphoria is a bitch, and not wearing a binder can really really super suck for some people, but oversized button downs really do help. Yes, I know it’s a stereotype. But it’s light weight with good airflow AND helps hide your shape. They’re also a kind of shirt that’s somewhat easier to get with a variety of budgets, as a lot of both firsthand and secondhand stores will have them.
In summary, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be safe out there. It gets hot. Be careful. Stay hydrated. Bind responsibly.
