✧˖° romanticizing discipline: why your study aesthetic matters more than you think

post 1 post 2 post 3

heyyyy angels, mindy here!

okay, listen. we need to talk about something that people love to roll their eyes at. making studying aesthetic. every time someone posts a pretty study setup, there’s always someone in the comments like, “you don’t need pastel highlighters to get good grades 🙄” or “discipline is about hard work, not vibes.” and okay, sure. but also?

if your study routine feels like punishment, you’re gonna run from it.

the way something feels matters. if you walk into a cozy, candle-lit café with soft music playing, you’ll want to stay there for hours. if you sit down at a messy desk with harsh lighting and a chair that makes your back hurt, you’ll last 15 minutes max. same work, different environment, completely different experience.

so why wouldn’t you make your study sessions feel good?

the truth is, romanticizing discipline makes you want to be consistent. and when you crave the work instead of dreading it, that’s when everything shifts.

so let’s make studying feel like an experience instead of a chore.

✧˖° why aesthetics actually matter

people like to pretend that discipline should be cold, harsh, and mechanical, but your brain doesn’t work like that.

➼ your brain loves sensory rewards. if your study space looks, smells, and feels good, your brain will start associating it with pleasure instead of stress. ➼ habit-building depends on emotion. if studying is something you enjoy (even a little), you’ll do it more often. if it always feels miserable, you’ll avoid it. ➼ your environment shapes your identity. if your space and routine reflect the kind of person you want to be, you start stepping into that version of yourself.

this isn’t about making everything look cute just for the sake of it. it’s about creating a feeling that makes you want to show up.

✧˖° how to romanticize discipline (without making it a distraction)

because let’s be real... if you spend two hours making an aesthetic notion template and zero minutes actually studying, you played yourself. the key is to set up your space and then get to work.

✧˖° 1. make studying a full sensory experience

romanticizing discipline isn’t just about visuals. it’s about creating an atmosphere that makes you want to sit down and focus.

➼ sound: play a study playlist that makes you feel productive (lo-fi, classical, rain sounds. whatever works). keep it consistent so your brain recognizes it as a “focus” trigger. ➼ scent: light a candle, spray a room mist, or use an essential oil diffuser. scent is one of the strongest memory triggers, so pick one that makes you feel calm and focused. ➼ touch: make sure your chair is comfortable, your desk is clean, and your study tools feel good to use.

it’s about tricking your brain into thinking, this is a space where we focus.

✧˖° 2. design a study space that makes you want to sit down

your environment dictates your focus. a cluttered, uninspiring desk will make you feel restless. a cozy, minimal, well-lit space will make you want to stay.

➼ keep only the essentials. a clean, distraction-free setup makes it easier to focus. ➼ add a little inspiration. a vision board, a cute calendar, a motivational quote. just something that makes you feel like that girl when you sit down. ➼ lighting matters. natural light is best, but a warm desk lamp can make nighttime study sessions feel cozy instead of exhausting.

again, the goal is to create a space that makes your brain want to work.

✧˖° 3. make discipline feel like a lifestyle aesthetic

some people make discipline look miserable. but the people who actually stay consistent? they make it look effortless.

➼ romanticize the act of opening your books. make it feel cinematic. the soft scratch of your pen, the glow of your laptop, the warmth of your tea. make it feel like a movie (mean girls, gossip girls... etcc) ➼ dress like the best version of yourself. even if you’re studying at home, wear something that makes you feel put together. ➼ upgrade your study tools. if you like the way your planner, pens, and laptop setup look, you’ll actually want to use them.

this is about shifting your identity. when you see yourself as the kind of person who enjoys discipline, you become her.

✧˖° keeping the balance: romanticizing vs. actually doing the work

okay, but let’s not pretend like aesthetics alone are gonna get you an A. you still have to put in the work. the key is to use aesthetics to enhance your discipline, not replace it.

➼ set a “setup time” limit. you get 5-10 minutes to set up your space. after that? no more tweaking. just start. ➼ use a study timer. 50 minutes of deep work, 10-minute break. repeat. this keeps you from getting stuck in the “pretty but unproductive” trap. ➼ reward yourself after real progress. light a candle before studying, but don’t let yourself scroll Pinterest for an hour instead of doing the work.

discipline first, aesthetic second. not the other way around.

✧˖° final thoughts

romanticizing discipline isn’t about making things look good for the sake of it. it’s about shifting your entire mindset so studying feels good.

when you make your study space feel warm, inviting, and yours, you stop dreading it. and when you stop dreading it, you show up more often. and when you show up more often? you actually get sh*t done.

so go romanticize the process. set up your space. light the candle. play the playlist. and then? open your books and do the work. because that girl you’re envisioning? she’s already you. you just have to step into her.

do not fall into the trap of "aesthetics over work" because there will be NO reason for you to romanticize studying, if you don't actually study.

with love,

mindy

How to Thrive This Winter❄️✨

Brrr, baby, it’s cold outside! But don’t worry—cold weather doesn’t have to mean boring layers and dry skin. It’s time to cozy up, glow up, and own the winter like the stylish snow angel you are. Let’s dive into some fabulously fun and ultra-practical tips for thriving when it’s freezing!

1. Layers, but Make It Fashion!

Think of layering as your chance to create a Pinterest-worthy winter look. Start with thermal basics (cute ones, obviously), add a soft knit sweater, and top it off with a statement coat. Don’t be afraid to mix textures—wool, velvet, and fleece are winter’s dream team.

Style Hack: Belt your oversized coat for a snatched look and pair it with earmuffs for retro-cute vibes!

2. Keep Those Tootsies Toasty

Cold feet? Ew, no. Treat your toes to fleece-lined socks or those fluffy slipper socks that feel like heaven. Bonus points if they’re pastel pink or covered in sparkles. Waterproof boots are a must, but why not go for ones with faux fur trim? Practical AND adorable.

Pro Tip: Grab mini hand warmers for your boots on extra chilly days—they’re a lifesaver!

3. Moisturize, Hydrate, Repeat

Winter is out here trying to steal your glow, but we’re not letting it win. Upgrade to a thicker moisturizer and keep lip balm on hand (hello, peppermint-flavored kisses). Hydrate from the inside too—water, herbal teas, and broths will keep your skin dewy and fresh.

Cutie Tip: Carry a mini face mist in your bag for a quick hydration boost that also smells divine.

4. Hot Drinks = Warm Soul

Coffee, hot cocoa, chai lattes—whatever warms your heart, make it cute! Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or even a cinnamon stick for that extra flair. And don’t forget a mug that matches your vibe—sparkly, pastel, or maybe even a personalized one?

Pro Idea: Try a "hot chocolate bar" night with friends. Think toppings galore and the coziest vibes ever.

5. Cozy Up Your Space

Your home is your winter wonderland. Think fairy lights, chunky blankets, and candles that smell like sugar cookies or pine forests. There’s no such thing as too cozy in the winter!

Mood Boost: String some faux ivy or flowers around your mirror for a dreamy winter garden vibe.

6. Winter Proof Your Hair

Cold air can be harsh on your locks, so show them some extra love. Use a leave-in conditioner and silk scrunchies to keep frizz at bay. Also, hats are a must—but make it chic with a beret or pom-pom beanie!

Hair Flair: Add a touch of glitter spray to your hair for winter nights out—because you deserve to sparkle.

7. Move Your Booty (Even When It’s Cold)

Winter is prime snuggle season, but don’t forget to move! Indoor yoga, dance sessions to your fave playlist, or even a brisk walk in the snow will warm you up and lift your mood.

Motivation Tip: Treat yourself to cute workout gear that doubles as loungewear—because who says comfy can’t be stylish?

8. Channel Your Inner Snow Queen

Winter is all about finding magic in the small things. Go ice skating, snap aesthetic snow pics, or cozy up with a rom-com marathon. Romanticize your life, babe—you’re the main character!

Vibes: Picture yourself twirling in the snow with a fluffy scarf, latte in hand. Dreamy, right?

Winter isn’t just a season—it’s your chance to shine in layers, cozy corners, and all the warm drinks your heart desires. So grab your fuzzy socks, fluffiest blanket, and make this cold weather your most stylish and comfy era yet!

What’s your go-to winter survival tip? Share it below, and let’s spread the cozy vibes!

[portals-and-spirits]

(Felicity: so this is really just the starter and I’ll reply from the Arson Murder Jaywalking Trio blog after)

Colin (and Argyros if she’s here) exit the portal through a dark wooden door with a simple brass knob into an odd-looking room. It’s square with each wall being about 15 feet long, but the most noticeable thing is that brass lines inlaid into the floor, corners, and ceiling split the room into four triangle-based quarters, with the one they’re currently standing in having a simple wooden floor, clean white wall, abstract wall art, fuzzy pastel green welcome mat, and wire coatrack, making it reminiscent of a cozy modern home. The quarter to their left has a much more antique vibe to it, the floor being wood in a different shade, and more worn looking, the patterned wallpaper being a faded magenta that blurred into the varied yet never too bright colors of the many, many photos pinned onto the wall around the door. There are pictures of beautiful scenes, snow fields, sunsets, forests, but there are no notable beings in them, no hints to the inhabitants of this strange little corner of the multiverse or the individual who must’ve taken them. Carved into the door on this wall are the words “If you’re seeing this, it means I’m home, feel free to come in if you can.” in a rough, simplistic writing, with a rolled-up scroll and pen pinned on top- if the scroll was unrolled, it would cover the writing. A creative way for visitors to leave messages to whoever lived here. The quarter directly across had a stone brick construction, with an archway full of blue light acting as the portal and a hanging tapestry of a clear sky and bright sun for a door. On the walls to its sides were beadwork hangings, depicting a starry night sky with a crescent moon and snowy owl flying about, and what appeared to be a mammoth made of ice playing about in the snow. Upon closer inspection, the snowy owl seemed to be made of snow as well. Next to the door is a tall flowerpot overflowing with crawling pink-flowered vines that have spread onto the floor and walls, and a small dresser with a pair of snow boots on top. The boots don’t look quite big enough for an adult, instead made for maybe an older child in their early teens. The wooden rafters holding up the upper walls and ceiling were decorated with preserved flowers of every kind, giving the room a pleasant herbal aroma. The final quarter, the one to their right, had a traditional Japanese theme, with woven floor mats and paper wall panels painted with cranes in a marsh and a few scattered lines of calligraphy. In a cylindrical frame in the corner are rolls of painted paper that could likely be used to swap out the designs on the walls. In the other corner is a discreetly hidden set of light switches disguised as a candle holder- the candle it held was only a fraction of the height of the stand and the lower portion could open to reveal the controls. The portal door is a sliding door that could’ve easily been mistaken for a wall panel if it weren’t ever-so-slightly open, a crack of white mist pouring through. In the middle of the room, over the intersecting divider lines, is a small table resembling a tall stool, being 3 feet tall with a circular top a bit more than 1 foot in diameter. On it is a singular file folder, the papers inside peeking out. Do they go through any of the doors? Do they check the file folder? Do they mess with the light switches or any of the other stuff in here?

"How fascinating..." Colin tilts his head, looking around the room. This was definitely a new and unfamiliar place. He decides to check the file folder; it's best to know what he can about this place and who's here before he investigates them directly.

"Seems familiar!" Argyros grins, looking around. She thinks for a moment, before skipping over and knocking on the door with the carved message.

"Is it a good idea to immediately start bothering people?" Colin asks lightheartedly, an eyebrow raised as he glances at Argyros.

"It'll be fiiine!" Argyros looks at Colin over her shoulder, eyes closing for a few moments as she grins.

12 Days until Spring

Spring Reset List

It’s no secret that spring is my favorite season, and I get ECSTATIC when it’s around the corner!🌷

I like preparing myself to meet the season with my best foot forward. So here is usually my little checklist I go through to make sure I’m ready to welcome the season of growth, renewal and change!

🌸 Declutter & Lighten Your Space

✔ Triage your clothes, shoes & accessories—donate or sell anything you haven’t worn in the last year.

✔ Declutter books & miscellaneous objects—use labeled boxes for keepsakes, candles, or seasonal décor.

✔ Sort through your dishes & kitchenware—keep only what you use and donate the rest.

✔ Shred or recycle unnecessary paperwork—no need to hold onto clutter.

✔ Check expiration dates—toss out expired food, medications, and beauty products.

☀️Make your space feel as light and airy as a spring breeze!

🌸 Deep Clean & Refresh

✔ Dust & disinfect surfaces.

✔ Wipe down windows & mirrors for that fresh spring sunlight.

✔ Sweep, vacuum & mop—especially in forgotten corners!

✔ Take out the trash & replace old sponges, cloths, or air filters.

✔ Change your bedding—nothing like fresh sheets for a seasonal reset!

✔ Do your laundry—wash winter coats before storing them away.

✔ Open your windows to let in fresh air & natural light.

✔ Light a scented candle or diffuse essential oils—something floral, fresh or citrusy to match the season.

🧼 It’s not for nothing that we call it spring cleaning.

🌸 Inspire & Reflect

✔ Journal about your winter wins—what did you accomplish these past few months? How can you build on that?

✔ Set realistic goals for spring—visualize who you want to be by summer.

✔ Challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone—what’s one new thing you can try this season?

🌸 Get excited with little changes!

✔ Rearrange furniture for a fresh vibe.

✔ Experiment with a new outfit style.

✔ Research seasonal fruits & vegetables and try 1-2 recipes with fresh spring produce.

✔ Read a book in a genre you don’t usually pick up.

✔ Try a new café, park, or walking route—switch up your daily scenery.

✔ Experiment with a new hairstyle or a new skincare routine.

✔ Introduce a new scent into your life—whether it’s a signature spring perfume, body lotion, or home fragrance.

🌸 Digital Reset

✔ Declutter your phone—delete unused apps, clean up your photos, and organize notes.

✔ Tidy your email inbox—unsubscribe from newsletters you never read.

✔ Sort your social media—unfollow accounts that drain your energy or don’t align with your current mindset.

✔ Refresh your budgeting system—review your spending, set new financial goals, and maybe plan a little spring treat!

✔ Curate your content—update your watchlist, reading list, and playlists with things that inspire you.

🌸 Reconnect & Rebalance

✔ Plan a small spring gathering—a picnic, brunch, or cozy dinner with loved ones.

✔ Check in with friends & family—reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.

✔ Schedule a self-care day—refresh your skincare, do a home spa night, or treat yourself to something simple but meaningful.

✔ Dedicate time to movement & nature—whether it’s a new workout, daily walks, or just soaking up the sunshine.

✔ Reassess your work/life balance—is there a way to bring more joy into your daily routine?

🌸 Celebrate the Season!

✔ Write down 3 things you love about spring—flowers blooming? Longer days? That fresh spring air?

✔ Treat yourself to something seasonal—fresh flowers, a new journal, or even a pastel outfit.

✔ Capture a small spring moment—a photo of blooming trees, a quiet morning coffee, or your first picnic of the year.

Decorate Your Space for Feminine Energy

Soft vibes, self-love, and sacred girlhood in every corner.

Your space should feel like a hug — warm, pretty, and full of energy that reflects you. Whether you’re channeling coquette, clean girl, cottagecore, or dreamy soft aesthetics, here’s how to infuse your room with feminine, high-vibe energy.

⸻

1. Curate Your Color Palette

Soft tones = soft energy. Try:

• Pastels (rose pink, lilac, baby blue)

• Neutrals (creamy whites, soft browns, ivory)

• Touches of gold for luxury + warmth

Create harmony by sticking to a palette that makes you feel calm + inspired.

⸻

2. Add Meaningful Crystals

Crystals aren’t just pretty — they shift the energy of your room. Try:

• Rose Quartz (self-love, romance, gentle energy)

• Moonstone (divine feminine, intuition, softness)

• Amethyst (calm, spiritual energy, dream protection)

• Selenite (cleansing, peace, angelic vibes)

Place them on your vanity, window sill, or altar space. Cleanse regularly!

⸻

3. Romantic Lighting Only

Harsh lighting? Instantly no.

Try instead:

• Salt lamps

• Fairy lights or LED twinkle strands

• Candles in pretty holders (bonus if they’re pink or vanilla-scented)

• Natural light during the day — open your blinds, let the sun in

⸻

4. Mirror Moments

Mirrors reflect energy — make it pretty:

• Vintage hand mirrors, ornate wall mirrors, or heart-shaped desk mirrors

• Keep it clean and place it where it reflects beauty (plants, crystals, your altar)

Mirror affirmations = top tier feminine energy practice.

⸻

5. Add Soft Textures

Surround yourself in softness. Think:

• Fluffy pillows

• Satin or silk sheets

• Lace curtains or doilies

• Chunky knit throws or faux fur rugs

Touch is a big part of divine feminine energy — make your space feel cozy and sensual.

⸻

6. Include Sacred + Sentimental Objects

Feminine energy = connectedness. Add:

• A small altar with candles, crystals, photos, tarot cards

• A vase with fresh or dried flowers

• A pretty box for letters, journal entries, or keepsakes

• Your fave books, perfumes, or beauty items on display

These items should spark joy, softness, and connection.

⸻

7. Scent is Everything

Smell is powerful. Choose:

• Floral or sweet candles (rose, peony, vanilla, lavender)

• Room sprays or essential oil diffusers

• Incense for cleansing (jasmine, sandalwood, or nag champa)

• Perfume trays for aesthetic & scent

⸻

Bonus tip: Clean regularly + intentionally.

Clean your space like you’re refreshing your energy. Open windows, play music, and imagine releasing anything that no longer serves you.

🥨🥞🥐 - for ur fav dr

thank you sm for the ask! tbh atm I have am arcane brainrot so this is going to be about my arcane dr!

🥨 : PRETZEL . . . create a mood board of your home in your desired reality. your favorite rooms, the exterior, the interior, the vibe, etc.

「stepping into this apartment feels like entering a forgotten artist’s sanctuary, where time stands still and creativity lingers in the air. the weathered walls, with their peeling paint and cracked plaster, tell stories of decades past, while the creaking wooden floors and antique furniture add a timeless charm. shelves overflowing with books and scattered papers hint at a scholarly mind, while the paintbrushes, canvases, and art supplies strewn across the room suggest an artistic soul at work. warm shafts of sunlight filter through the windows, casting dramatic shadows that dance across the earthy tones of the space, creating an atmosphere both intimate and mysterious. it’s a place where inspiration thrives in the midst of organized chaos, inviting you to lose yourself in its rustic, bohemian allure.」

🥞 : PANCAKE . . . create a mood board of your familial relationships in your desired reality. who are the most important people in your family? what does your relationship look like, visually?

「their relationship was a tangled web of devotion and dread, a father and daughter bound by love but haunted by unspoken shadows. he was her protector, fierce and unyielding, yet there was something in his gaze—a darkness, a burden he carried that she could never fully understand. she followed him with quiet trust, her small hand in his, while his world of wolves and shadows loomed around them. their bond was raw, almost primal, a mix of tenderness and fear, as if he were both her guardian and her greatest danger. in their silence, there was an unbreakable connection, a love that could heal or destroy, depending on which side of the line they stood.」

🥐 : CROISSANT . . . create a mood board of you in the beginning years of your desired reality vs years after you’ve experienced it. you could include your face claim, favorite color, clothing style, etc.

「As a child, they embodied a whimsical and carefree spirit, surrounded by the clutter of colored pencils, pastels, and spray paint, diving into fantasy novels and letting their imagination roam freely. Their worn-out sneakers, cozy flannel, and scuffed wooden floors told the story of a creative soul who thrived in a world of exploration and unstructured fun. Now, as an adult, they've evolved into a bold and rebellious individual with a refined edge. Their style is deliberate, marked by leather boots, lace stockings, and a sharp haircut, while their love for culture shines through vinyl records, band buttons, and walls adorned with posters. The innocence of curiosity has transformed into confidence, with their aesthetic now reflecting independence, self-awareness, and a deep connection to identity and artistry.」

From Burnout to Glowing: Finding Motivation Again

✨ Burnout happens to the best of us, queen. It’s a sign you’ve been working hard, but it’s also your mind and body saying, “Hold up—we need a reset.” Let’s flip this energy and find your motivation again.

1. Permission to Pause

First things first: Rest is productive. Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’ve been running too long without refueling.

Give yourself permission to take a break—watch your favorite comfort movie, journal your feelings, or take a long walk.

2. Reconnect with Your “Why”

Ask yourself: Why are you doing this? Whether it’s a dream school, personal growth, or even just proving to yourself that you can, reconnecting with your “why” is like reigniting a candle.

Write your goals down. Visualize them. Feel the pride of your future self.

3. Reset Your Study Space

Burnout can make your desk feel like a prison. Transform it into a haven—clean it, add some fresh flowers, switch out your stationery for pastel vibes, and light a candle.

A new environment = a new mindset.

4. Small Wins, Big Motivation

Start small. Instead of diving into hours of work, set a 10-minute timer and focus on one task. Small victories build momentum.

Reward yourself for progress (a face mask, your fave snack, or a cozy nap).

5. The Glowettee Affirmation Method

Use these affirmations daily to rebuild your motivation:

“I am capable, even on hard days.”

“Rest is a part of success, not the opposite of it.”

“I am proud of my effort, no matter how small.”

✨ Remember, burnout isn’t forever. This is just a chapter in your story, and you’re about to turn the page to something incredible. Take it one soft step at a time—you’ve got this.

💌 What’s your favorite way to reset? Reblog and share your glow-up tips! 🌸

Nest timeline!

This is a little idea that I had for a couple of years now, and I promised myself that would do it once I moved out since it’s been a month since doing so, it’s about time I get it together!

14/12/22: Ah, creature’s first nest. I was doing for a bit prior to this photo but I was rather proud of this set up in particular, little did I know it was just the beginning…

27/8/23 + 3/9/23: I got rid of the purple jacket underneath, as you can see the first one is still messy and vaguely nest shaped while the second is still a little sloppy but a bit more nest shaped than the previous attempt

29/9/23 + 2/10/23 + 21/11/23 + 4/12/23: I really upped my nesting game with this! I placed a cute pastel knitted quilt underneath giving a really cutesy vibe and the progression from a sloppy nest shape to a full even nest wall is very apparent and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come <3

11/12/23: I went to stay with my Nana and I tried to make do without my awesome comfy nest

22/12/23: Then I came back to tragedy that required serious emergency wash because the stupid cat puke on my bed 😭

25/21/23: Thankfully everything was washed by the time Christmas Day

27/12/23: Due to that event, I made the precautions to ensure that my nest was well protected while I went to stay with my Nana again :/

18/1/24 + 25/12/24: I returned with a new blanket that I decided to use as a cover to against protect my precious nest

28/2/24: My nest was finally back to its even walled glory ft. Before blanket cover and after blanket cover :3

29/3/24: A month later…

6/8/24: More mess than nest with this one and the the massive gap is the simple fact that I fell into a weird state where I neglected to do maintenance on my nest because my brain was too focus on just getting through the day and waiting for the Parentals to give me a concrete date after changing it twice. Also at this time I just ordered a bed tent and I was waiting for that to arrive before I assemble a proper nest.

27/8/24: AND VOLA! My glorious new nest inside a bed tent! I going to order some fairy lights to give it a more cozy vibe. I am so happy that I finally have the mental and physical space for myself now that I inhabit a low strung environment VwV

More updates coming soon ^wO

bodhi's house some little peeks into his inherited Henford farmhouse

this is my first build post!! as you can see I like a very messy, clutter-y vibe. I usually prefer a light wood and pastel color scheme, but this build really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I LOVE IT !!! I wanna do more cozy, nostalgic houses like this in the future <3 maybe i'll post more builds then too
