How can I loose weight?

I got you.

💗weightloss, diets and healthy habits💗

1. healthy habits

before we start, you want longterm process. So form habits. Become disciplined.

No crash-diet means no jojo-effect. No crash-diet means actual progress that doesnt go to waste.

2. diet

No matter how much you move, if your diet is not sitting right, you wont slim down. Over time you have to include healthy and nutritious options into your diet.

~small bowl of veggies, before breakfast

(such as cucumber, bell pepper, carotts, tomatos. That way your bloodsugar levels wont come crushing down midday)

~breakfast should include something that keeps you full. Dont skip it. People who eat breakfast tend to loose more weight and be slimmer.

(Porride, Eggs, Avocado, etc)

I usually include: Oatmeal, Chia sees, Berries and one Banana

~try not to snack, keep going for three meals a day

~eat whole foods, eat clean and make sure to dont neglect your protein-intake

(protein keeps us full and satisfied. Also, you want to loose fat, not muscle)

~cut out sodas and liquid calories!!!

such a waste. go for the light options with 0-2kcal. They taste the same, if not better.

Also, drink enough water.

3. workout

Normally, I work out every day in some way.

Cardio, strenght, pilates or just a walk outside.

Moving your body, keeping it toned and flexible, helps your mood, your health and your overall life.

On top, it burns calories.

Build some muscle and loose some fat. Thats how you get your dream body.

Here are my favorite channels, that I workout to daily:

MIZI (cardio mainly, full body workouts and burning calories)

Lidia Mera (pilates full body, toning and strenghtenig, legs, arms, abs)

Shirlyn Kim (specific parts, weightloss, strenghtening/toning,thigh gap)

Yuuka Sagawa (posture, arms and upper body)

Nina Dapper (arms, legs and abs)

4. Beauty Secrets

~ginger/curcuma shots

I tend to have ginger shots to boost my immune system and overall health. They are also very good for your skin and can give you a natural glow.

~probiotics

Your gut health is a game changer. You get less break outs and you can loose weight faster.

You can heal your gut through your diet and order some probiotics.

~castor oil

I live and breath castor oil.

Usually I apply it before bed on my lashes, hair and skin. It helps with hair growth, skin protection and hydration. Its also very good for debloating and detox, if you put it into your belly button.

~green tea

This magic tea can help you loose weigtt, reduce the risk of several diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease,

It reduces anxiety and lowers your cholesterol level.

Self-Care Sunday

Self-care is about prioritizing your well-being and doing things that make you feel good. Feel free to adjust the routine to best suit your preferences and needs. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Set the Mood Create a relaxing environment by dimming the lights and playing soothing music. Light some scented candles or use essential oils to enhance the ambiance.

Step 2: Morning Meditation or Stretching Start your self-care Sunday with a short meditation session to clear your mind and set positive intentions for the day. Alternatively, indulge in gentle stretching or yoga to awaken your body.

Step 3: Skincare Ritual Begin with a gentle cleanse to refresh your skin. Follow up with a hydrating mask or a DIY face mask using natural ingredients like honey and yogurt. Take this time to pamper your skin and give it some much-needed love.

Step 4: Nourishing Breakfast Prepare a nutritious and delicious breakfast. Consider options like a smoothie bowl, whole grain pancakes, or avocado toast. Incorporate fruits, veggies, and protein to fuel your body for the day ahead.

Step 5: Journaling or Creative Expression Spend some time journaling your thoughts, goals, or things you're grateful for. Alternatively, engage in a creative activity you enjoy, like painting, drawing, or writing poetry.

Step 6: Relaxing Bath or Shower Take a soothing bath with Epsom salts, bath oils, or your favorite bubble bath. If you prefer a shower, use a fragrant body wash or scrub to refresh your skin. Consider playing calming music or listening to a podcast as you unwind.

Step 7: Hair Care Dedicate time to your hair care routine. Whether you're deep conditioning, trying out a new hairstyle, or simply giving your hair a break from styling, make it a moment of self-care.

Step 8: Mindful Reading or Learning Spend time reading a book that inspires you or teaches you something new. This could be a novel, a self-help book, or an article related to a topic you're passionate about.

Step 9: Nature Connection If possible, spend time outdoors in nature. Whether it's a walk in the park, sitting under a tree, or simply breathing in fresh air on your balcony, connecting with nature can be incredibly rejuvenating.

Step 10: DIY Spa Time Set up a DIY spa area and treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure, or both. Use a luxurious scrub and follow up with your favorite nail polish for a polished look.

Step 11: Mindful Eating For lunch, prepare a balanced meal that includes a variety of colors and nutrients. Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite.

Step 12: Positive Affirmations Spend a few minutes reciting positive affirmations in front of a mirror. Remind yourself of your worth, strength, and beauty.

Step 13: Creative Cooking or Baking If you enjoy cooking or baking, spend some time in the kitchen preparing a special treat or a new recipe you've been wanting to try.

Step 14: Wind-Down Yoga or Stretching As the day comes to an end, engage in a gentle wind-down yoga session or some gentle stretches to relax your body before bedtime.

Step 15: Relaxing Bedtime Routine Wrap up your self-care Sunday with a calming bedtime routine. This could involve reading a few pages of a book, practicing deep breathing, or using a soothing lavender-scented mist on your pillow.

Remember, the most important thing is to tailor this routine to your preferences and make it a day that feels special and rejuvenating for you. Enjoy your self-care Sunday!

Ways to use magickal oils: for witches and non-witches

In your beauty routine:

Depending on the carrier oil, spell oils can be a great addition to skin care and hair care! Some carrier oils provide a lot of skin and hair benefits.

Castor oil contains triglycerides, which help maintain moisture in the skin. This can help with dry skin. Castor oil can also be applied generously as a hair mask and wash off, or apply very liberally to the ends of hair to help with frizz. This is depending on hair type.

Grapeseed oil is an effective treatment to decrease split ends. On the skin, grapeseed oil can help with breakouts, treat dry skin, and gently fade some scars. It’s also non-comedogenic meaning it won’t clog pores. This could be a good option for someone with oily skin.

Sweet almond oil has a lot of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants that can sooth both the skin and hair. It can help approve the appearance of dry and irritated skin.

Jojoba oil is anti-inflammatory and can reduce redness, help with chaffing, and keep skin calm. For hair, it can strengthen hair strands and reduce hair porosity buildup. It is both antifungal and antibacterial.

Sunflower seed oil can make hair shiny and strong. It can help tame frizz as well as treat dandruff. When used on the skin, it can help skin retain moisture.

*Always be wary of your skin sensitivities and allergies when buying or making your own oil blends.

Ways to use them in your beauty routine:

Add a few drops to your bath for aromatherapy.

Mix a few drops into your liquid soap (great for cleansing and/or protection!)

Mix a few drops in your palm with your favorite lotion. Rub it into your skin while saying affirmations.

Deposit a few drops through your hair while damp.

Dab it on your pressure points to use as perfume.

If you make soap, add a few drops into your soap for a magickal boost.

In your cooking:

Some carrier oils can be great to cook with! *Make sure not to add essential oils to these blends and use food safe herbs. You’re responsible for your own allergens.

Olive oil is already a pantry staple for many people. Try making an oil blend steeping your favorite kitchen herbs and spices in olive oil to use in your cooking.

Avocado oil is another great oil you can do this with if you prefer.

Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it as an oil blend. Heat up the amount you want in a pot and add your herbs. Keep the heat low to infuse your herbs then place into a jar to solidify.

In magick:

Oils are super versatile and they’re a staple for many witches. The most common way they’re used is to anoint candles for spells and rituals. This can even go as far as anointing deity candles as an offering.

They can also be used to anoint objects. By taking a small amount of oil and rubbing it onto an object, you can add energy and charm it with your intention. This works for talismans as well.

You can also anoint yourself! Certain points on the body can be anointed depending on your intention. Anoint your throat with a confidence oil before giving a presentation to aid in communication; anoint your forehead with a psychic oil to aid in divination; anoint your pressure points with a love oil to draw someone in.

The possibilities are endless.

My lovely friends, this is a friendly evidence-based post pertaining to the risk reduction of a few well-known health effects of 4n4 and mia. Including: Amenorrhea (loss of regular menstrual period), anaemia, digestive upset, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, general well-being, and osteoporosis. It is quite a long post, but please let me know if there’s any other information you would like me to cover. 💕

🪐 Vitamins and Supplements:

• A-Z Multivitamin. Is beneficial for supplementation. For example, Vitamin C is a vitally important vitamin for the body’s connective tissues, including the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, cellular formation and maturation, resistance to infection, and an increased ability to heal. Additionally, B12 contributes to an adequately functioning nervous system, bone marrow, and intestinal tract. It also acts to increase metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Finally vitamin B2 when combined with Vitamin A promotes good vision and healthy skin, as well as assists in metabolising proteins and fats at a cellular level.

• Calcium and Vitamin D. Seek a preparation which offers 1000mg of calcium and 10-20mcg (400-800 iu) of vitamin D. Vitamin D increases the bodies efficacy during the absorption, retention, and metabolising of calcium. Calcium of course being vital for bone integrity and imperative for the prevention of osteopenia/osteoporosis.

• Iron. An appropriate iron intake will restore the functionality of red blood cells, allowing the proper oxygen transportation around the body, increase focus, energy, athletic performance, and sleep. Having a sufficient iron store will alleviate some commonly experienced symptoms of low iron including fatigue, dizziness, pallor, and shortness of breath. It may also reduce the sensation of cold hands and feet.

• Potassium and Zinc. A lack of zinc impairs the ability to smell and taste. Connecting this impairment to nose blindness. For example, a lack of a sense of smell and taste may impair one’s own ability to detect their own bad breath, BO, and other unpleasant smells that others may be able to detect.

• Omega 3’s - Fish oil, Krill oil, Hemp oil, or Flaxseed oil. Improper dietary intake, or supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids will result in areas of epidermal (skin) dryness, hyperkeratosis, and hyperpigmentation. As well as the formation large scales expose underlying tissue, which are easily infected. The hair becomes sparse, dry, lusterless, and brittle, with a reddish tinge. Furthermore, nails become brittle and dull, tear production reduces, the tears are also significantly less oily leading to increased evaporation contributing to chronically dry, red, and itchy eyes.

If oil supplements are scary for you to intake due to calorie fears (there is only approx 25 calories in 2 average fish oil capsules). There are dietary sources of omega 3 that are relatively low calorie including chia seeds, edamame, and seaweed. However they provide little amounts in comparison to supplementation or traditional dietary sources such as fish, avocado, oils etc.

However this should also be considered when deciding whether to supplement omega 3’s - they stimulate the secretion of leptin, a hormone that decreases appetite and promotes the burning of fat. Through the enabling of conversion of dietary fats into body cells for burning as fuel.

🍄 Dietary Intake

•Bone broth (or vegetable broth if meat is not apart of your diet ☺️) I cannot stress how great bone broth is! Extremely low calorie, but incredibly nutrient-dense. It also acts to decrease the inflammation within the gut that many of us will experience due to our dietary habits. Including conditions such as constipation, gastroparesis, liver disease, bloating, abdominal pain, and stomach ulceration.

Bone broth also contains large amounts of protein, collagen, iron, vitamins A and K, fatty acids, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Protein being the most satiating macronutrient can decrease hunger and associated discomfort. Collagen and the variety of micronutrients within the bone broth contributes to joint and bone health. Bone broth will also contribute to hydration.

•Nutrient-dense foods including blueberries l are among the best sources of anthocyanins (antioxidants) that promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Additionally, red tomatoes and red capsicum (Peppers). Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, which is a type of carotenoid found in red fruits that has powerful antioxidant effect that may help protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

•Fibre is imperative for smooth gastrointestinal function, including regular bowel movements. Fibre is of course typically found in whole fruits and vegetables, beans/lentils, and whole grains. Low calorie fibre sources include: red kidney beans, carrot, and chickpeas. Psyllium, chia seeds are also good sources of fibre. Fibre supplants such as Metamucil may also aid to increase fibre intake. An adequate intake of fibre may reduce the dependence of laxative for bowel movements. Prolonged use of laxatives may create a dependency on them to even have a bowel movement.

🥥 Adequate Hydration

• The best way to ensure adequate hydration is simply by consuming enough water during the day. However, if plain water consumption is difficult, fluid intake will also suffice. Including fluid such as teas, flavoured/enhanced water, diet soft drinks, juices, etc. The optimal fluids to consume in addition to, or instead of simple water to ensure adequate hydration is mineral water, coconut water, or diet electrolyte replacements (Powerade/Gatorade, Pedialyte, Hydralyte). Correct hydration and electrolyte intake will reduce headaches, constipation, and muscle cramps/weakness.

❤️ Reproductive Health

•Amenorrhea is a common experience for those of us with a uterus. However it is imperative to understand that you are more than likely still ovulating despite the lack of a regular menstrual period. Therefore, contraception must still be used. Amenorrhea may be alleviated through dietary supplementation and small changes to the diet to include more micronutrients, but it may not be completely fixed unless there is an increase to body fat percentages.

Sorry if it’s been asked already but, what would horror bimbo wear to a concert date with Eddie?

It hasn't been asked yet and even if it has been, I love this reply. I’ll make a moodboard, but horror!bimbo would look very Danzig girl, like a vampire nymphette. Black, white, or deep red velvet little dresses and tiny articles of clothing, lace ups, poetry blouses worn as dresses that hardly pass her ass, she will wear garters up her thigh, bdsm chokers and collars, dead girl eye makeup that makes her look dreamy and sleepy. She always goes for otherworldly slut,

–

She always spent the whole day of a concert preparing,

If it was a school day she would play hookey,

Eddie would hate it because he wouldnt get to see his sweet little moth, and would complain dramatically to her about it.

Hands splayed on her provocative hips before squeezing them possessively as he would bury his face in her sweet smelling neck that smelled of her lilac perfume and vanilla body powder, his mouth actually physically water. “You gonna leave me again until nighttime?” he complained.

She giggled and stroked his fluffy chocolate curls.

“Id invite you to stay, but I dont wanna bore you bear.” She always could call him that because to her he looked like a human teddy bear, a very sexy teddy bear.

He lifted his head from her neck, his doe eyes widened and pupils darkened. “Yeah? Youd let me watch you get dressed? Maybe help you wash that back…” he started kissing down the back of her neck causing her to shiver and preen against him. He was half hard thinking about it.

He spent the day getting ready with her. She ran a nice bubble bath with Vaseline vitamin e bath beads that turned the water teal, Crabtree & Evelyn rosewater bubble bath, and apricot kernel bath oil. She had to have Eddie join in her pre-concert ritual naturally, and no one was home but her. She lit lavender candles and played the Icon album Night of the Crime theyll be hearing tonight in Indianapolis.

She had Eddie joined her in the bath, she put an avocado masque on his face and hers and the Rave hair masque with a V05 hot oil treatment, She wanted him to feel pampered too, and they started kissing, he held her in his lap, she warmed his cock in the bath She felt so full like she ate a big meal, he is that big. She couldnt stop herself, felt too good, she started moving.

“Ooh fuck baby, if you dont stop that–”

“Youll what…daddy?” She put on her baby voice, the one that got small and sounded squishy and cute,

He stroked her back and she started to drool in anticipation. He took her face in his hand, turning her to face him and lick up her drool, his other hand squeezed her ample ass, “Fuck you have a perfect body for a whore.” He thrusted his hips up and she squeaked, feeling dizzy with pleasure. “Oh my fucking God!”

“Too bad youre just mine.” He laid a sloppy kiss on her shoulder and grabbed her waist before raising his hips and slamming up inside of her tight pussy, that gushed all over his cock. “Baby girl, making such a mess for daddy, what a messy baby.” He cooed.

After a steamy bath session, they got dressed. She used hot rollers for a sultry look, and slid on her french cut, black, lace panties, her puffy pussy sort of swallowed it a bit, and naturally Eddie had to have a quick taste.

She had a satin white garter with a pink rosette slid up her left thigh by his truly, her right leg adorn with a thigh high fishnet stocking, a revealing neo Victorian, lacey little slip with gaps terribly tied together by dainty bows, exposing her generous cleavage, the thin straps of her negligee falling down her shoulders, She slips into combat boots that contrast her attire, and one of Eddie’s leather jackets that was too big for her frame. She had black under eye to make her look like a haunted doll, and her lips were painted the same color as her nipples.

Her signature lilac perfume kissed her wrists, neck, and cleavage. Eddie realized the importance of getting ready for a concert.

You need to consume unsaturated fats or you'll feel slow, fatigued, and never want to do anything.

You have to learn the healthy fats and eat the healthy fats if you're committed to being vegetarian or vegan. Or you will be tired forever, and not the type of tired where you can push through it, but the type of tired where you feel like you have to stay in bed all day and your heart feels like it's being sucked through a straw.

Fatty acids are what lipids in our bodies are made mostly up of. Fatty acids are responsible for energy storage, brain development, blood clotting, and controlling inflammation. They are necessary for your body to be able to absorb vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E, and K. They are necessary for your body to produce sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Not having enough of these fats can cause muscle pain, night blindness, infertility, easy bruising, dry hair, hair loss, loose teeth, depression and anxiety, and dermatitis (presenting as dry and scaly rashes).

You need unsaturated fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These are good fats. Saturated fats and trans fats are bad, these are what raise your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Diets high in saturated fats might also lead to chronic pain.

35% of your caloric intake should be fats. This can be added to the list on why the diet industry is so cruel. Manufacturers and organizations paired with the pornography and cosmetic industry pushing dieting and beauty norms on women and girls for decades impressed the seriously dangerous and false idea that consuming fats was bad. Denying healthy fats means denying healthy brain development, energy and motivation, better ability to heal from injuries, and preventing depression and anxiety.

Balsamic and olive oil together (and you can add some minced garlic if you like) tastes fantastic with warm bread and can be made in 12 minutes.

Cooking with the oils above instead of butter can also introduce fatty acids in your diet (might not be enough though, you need 1-2 tablespoons a day).

Sometimes if I'm in a hurry I just eat a plain avocado a day.

You can sprinkle chia seeds on yogurt. Add flax seed to smoothies.

Just eat 1/4th of pumpkin seeds too (which are also super high in magnesium). That's basically a handful a day, make it part of your morning routine.

Almonds, walnuts, and pecans are also high in good fats.

[shotmrmiller]

Toni, please don’t call me an idiot but I caught a knife by the blade out of reflex instead of letting it fall on the ground :/. Long story short I can’t use that hand for a while now. Which is bad because tomorrow is hair wash day and no one’s home tomorrow who could help me.

Now this got me thinking about the reader asking Simon to help her wash her hair. He’s helping her of course but complains if she’s got a routine that’s more than just shampoo and rinse once.

no no he doesn't complain about that he'll complain about you having an overpriced shampoo and conditioner and body wash instead of the 42 in one bottle he's got.

forget if you use leave in conditioners. water and aloe vera juice mixed with veg glycerin. hair growth serum. the tea tree oil stings his cuts. his eyes. why are you doing all of this is just hair! now he's gotta massage the scalp with that brush. what do you mean wait 15 min? why?

(me projecting. my mom used to have me rot for however long with avocado in my hair during my youth. and potato peels on my face cuz i had terrible skin.)

i hope you feel better. not your reflexes being the good ol double edged sword.

nanami kento with a curly haired s/o!

a/n: my hair is 3a+b so this is mainly based off my experience with washing and styling! im going to make it as vague as possible to try and include other curl types and the process but i might get some stuff wrong im so sorry, i got taken away with this….

nanami kento x gn!reader

cw: hopefully none

seeing as most people in japan dont have curly hair, it would be something that did cause him to pay attention before you started dating

part of him wanted to ask to touch it, but he knew better once he heard you rant about some woman coming up to you and touching it without asking

before you spent the night together he *really* had no idea how high maintenance it is

the first night you spend the night he’s confused but curious about your bonnet, you tell him your favorites - if it has elastic bands, ties or is scrunched

(the next time you come over he has a few of your favorite ones under the sink, just in case)

you talk about satin bedsheets, how you want silk ones but they’re too expensive and when you come by to spend the night next time your side of the bed has a silk pillow case

he listens to you about all your different products, taking note of what you like about each one and what they do, if they make your hair too stiff, too heavy for your hair, doesn’t add enough moisture

he looks at all your oils, what they do and which ones, your hair grease, castor oil, etc.

you teach him about your homemade hair masks, keeping the house stalked with olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, jojoba, tea tree, whatever you use

the first few times you style it around him hes watching like a hawk, taking note of each step from exfoliating your scalp, parting your curls in half, parting it again and lathering it until your hands are way too foamy and dripping all over the tub, then he watches you detangle your hair with your fingers while you condition.

you tell him about how you used to sit with your mother and she’d do your hair, how most of the time it was a pain in the ass- having a tender head and her yanking your hair apart then threatening to hit you with the brush sometimes she did but but ultimately looking back now that you didn’t have it, you missed it. there’s a deep seated warmth that comes from the memories thats almost spiritual

after kento hears about that he starts doing his own research on how to help better

the next time you get to wash day around him he asks to help, and you’re hesitant but ultimately come around

he props your knees on a towel comfortable, rolls up his sweatpants and sits on the ledge one foot in the tub the other out

hes gentle with your hair, finally fully touching it and almost melts at the touch. your curls twist around his fingers and its hypnotizing, hes obsessed!

he parts your hair mimicking your movements he watched down to the muscle twitch

the massage he gives you while he washes your hair makes you feel like you’re in a salon

he rinses your hair out with gentle scrunches instead of your aggressive twisting and then scrunching

you almost stop him from detangling your hair but he’s so careful, if you get the slightest painful tug he’s rapid fire with apologizes and a massage

you walk him through each product and how much to put, he scrunches your hair and then carefully helps you flip your hair

then it comes to the twisting and suddenly you’re grateful he’s here because now your hair is split in half and he’s twisting one side and you’re doing the other

“you’d make a good stylist,” you had joked to which he responded “only for you.”

this becomes routine most times, there are other times where you just need to relax yourself, and he respects that

you’ll sometimes let him pull the curl very gently, if he wants to touch it, because he knows how much time it takes and his body will never be found if he tries to do more than that

everytime you get to wash day he’s secretly hoping you’ll let it go natural because anytime you do that means you don’t have plans of going out for the weekend and that he has free reign to play and touch with your hair

it feels nice so you let him

he massages your scalp, stares at the way your hair lengthens so much and then bounces back against your scalp

he loves how soft it is, how it’s like his own cloud, how you stand out from the crowd and it’s like ivy sprawling out, spring tree’s shining in the sun and how it makes you look so much more ethereal

he loves to massage oil in or grease your scalp, how you tilt your head back into his touch and the serene relaxation on your face

when you whine and complain about your bonnet falling off and say something along the lines of “i go to sleep with it on and wake up with it checking out at the store without me” he snorts so hard he splashes coffee all over himself

when you’re sleeping and he notices your bonnet slipping off, he’ll put it back on

when you straighten your hair, he doesn’t hate it per-say, but you do definitely notice that he seems less touchy with your hair even though you tell him its free game

once its back his eyes linger on your hair more, and it makes you feel fuzzy inside that he’s so enamored with your natural hair, especially since growing up it had been too much for other people, always in the way, always too much or a commodity for others to stare at and disrespect, but he just sees it as an extension of you and is enamored with it

if you get any protective styles like braids, locks, twists, cornrows, its like a kid in a christmas store. he’s staring any chance he gets (but his favorite will always be your natural) because he’s just so mesmerized and enthused about the different styles you do

when it’s time to take your braids out he gets to work, untwisting and cleaning up any strands you take out and end up on the floor

he has to hide his face when you’re humbled by the lack of growth because he knows he shouldn’t be laughing but each time you’re so earnest

i got too carried away

i wish i could just hire someone to wash my hair but at the same time don’t touch it

also my love language is acts of service so this is 100% just my self indulgence

How I think the residents of Cellbit’s castle get up in the morning

Cellbit: Cell wakes up a bit after sunrise most days, unless he wants a romantic morning with Roier. Normally this constitutes dragging himself out of bed, throwing some clothes on and grabbing a quick slice of avocado toast for breakfast. He survives on like three hours of sleep per night (getting better thanks to Roier insisting on bedtime cuddles) but somehow still manages to function in the morning

Richarleyson: Richas either has to be dragged out of bed half past noon or wakes up at the asscrack of dawn, no in-between. Most days, Cellbit will drag him out of bed and force him into day clothes sometime after he himself wakes up. Richas eats an actual breakfast in the morning, often prepared by Roier. On the rare occasion of Richas getting up early, he’ll wake everyone up as soon as he gets bored or hungry

IronMouse: Mouse is absolutely not a morning person and is not fully functional until she’s been up and awake for at least an hour. She sleeps in the most but is somehow not the last one to be ready in the morning, probably due to the fact that centuries of practice doing her hair, makeup, and outfits in the morning mean that she’s very good at getting ready quickly. She has an alarm that she somehow always sleeps through and normally chills with the other castle residents in the morning before going out and eating monster souls

Roier: Roier gets up shortly after Cellbit, mostly due to the fact that he likes to cuddle whilst he sleeps and won’t sleep well without someone to cuddle. For most people, this would mean being ready for the day pretty early in the morning. However, Roier spends an absolute eternity getting ready. The man spends HOURS in front of the mirror doing his hair, his outfit, sometimes his makeup, and just generally making sure he’s both fabulous and prepared for the day. He doesn’t half-ass breakfast either, making a full platter for anyone who wants a hearty breakfast in the morning (Mostly Richas and Tubbo)

Tubbo: Tubbo is always up and awake before anyone else in the castle, and no one can tell if it’s because he gets up early or just doesn’t go to sleep at night. He’s always covered in grease, oil, mud, and occasionally blood by the time he shows up for breakfast, but he has the good sense to shower and change his clothes before actually sitting down to eat. He enjoys eating with Roier and Richas partially because he enjoys their company, partially because they’re the only one having an actual breakfast

venus retrograde (!!!) (28 leo)

if it seems like this retrograde has been hyped for a WHILE it's because it HAS, and there is a good reason for that! venus has not been in leo this long, without popping into an neighboring sign, since the early 1800s. taking this depth into the sign of the lion causes the retrograde and both shadow zones to remain entirely encased in the sign.

auspicious: gold and copper and especially rose gold. hibiscus. anything sparkly, especially if it's pink (love the barbie hype in all this.) self love in the form not just of bubble baths and four course meals but also (important!!!) inner child work and the health of your heart (good fatty oils eg from olive oil or avocado oil for example are very venusian and mainly good for you. maybe cool it with the bacon grease for a while.) repose, waiting, fantasizing. also think cat goddesses: bast, sekhmet, freya. cats, broadly, auspicious. deep conditioning your hair (mane). bad plans: textin your ex. if they text you, you get to decide what to do about it but please be wise. but you don't text, ideally. cosmetic surgery, tattoos, other permanent or nearly permanent appearance changes. plan them, don't book them or perform them if possible. if it has already been scheduled, it's probably ok, but don't start it now. same for weddings, romantic getaways, moving in with a partner, or starting a newly serious relationship.
