I started my day by tidying up frequently used surfaces with a bleach-and-water solution for a clean and fresh environment. I showcased my marble table, a stunning find from Facebook Marketplace, which adds elegance to my home. I ensured my family’s convenience by storing laundry detergent in an easily accessible spot for my wheelchair-bound son.

I highlighted the large-format porcelain tiles that mimic marble, enhancing the look of my patio, along with a black-painted front door. I arranged my planters, noting a struggling lemon plant and thriving ivy, to maintain a pleasant outdoor ambiance. I proudly connected these decor updates to my love for thoughtful, functional, and stylish home improvements.

What Does the 6th House in Astrology Represent?

The 6th home in astrology is the home of hard labor, health, discipline, and daily routines. It influences our work ethic, lifestyle habits, physical well-being, and even the problems we confront in our everyday lives. This 6th house teaches us the importance of self-improvement, responsibility, and overcoming barriers through endurance. It also regulates service, pets, co-workers, and how we manage stress and competition. A strong 6th House may make a person disciplined, productive, and health-conscious, while problems here might lead to job troubles or health issues. This home molds our daily grind, health, and overall resiliency.

Hello! Happy WBW!

I saw in your pinned post how much you love historical fashion, so I was wondering how important (or unimportant) this is in your WIP given that it's set in Regency England!

~ @mxxnlightwriting

Hey!! Thanks so much for sending this !!

What a great question. I am indeed obsessed with historical fashion, and so because of that I do think about it a lot in regards to my WIP!

I imagine the characters in very specific getups based on what I know about the time period, what their personalities are, what their social status is, how they want to appear in the context of the society of the time, and where they are in their arc.

I particularly think about Tristan in regards to this because he's such a little fashionista lol. While at home he was stuck in either a nightgown (in bed sick all the time) or high-status boy's clothes of the period. Once he runs away he has fun experimenting with all the different layers of clothing in the period and being eccentric and even gender-bending with it. Breeches under skirts, a girl's frilly fichu under a waistcoat, stuff like that.

A boy's frilly collar vs a ladies' frilly fichu. Tristan would mix n match.

Breeches under skirts. Groovy.

Though some things being gender-bending at the time would not be immediately obvious to modern eyes. For example, in cold weather he opts for a type of cape that only girls and women wore (but it really just looks like a cape). He also sometimes just wears straight up girl's clothes! What makes it easier and more fun to write a trans character in this time period is how many articles of clothing were used by both genders, or again aren't too different looking from each other in modern eyes. Certain coat and jacket types, shifts/undershirts, some hats and especially shoes are just some articles that come to mind. It also helps that both boys and girls could have longish hair at the time. (Or short hair!)

Brothers and sisters, all with the same haircut.

Besides that I'm thinking about how the characters evolve over the course of the story and how that reflects in how they dress. For Tristan, he dresses more and more according to his own fancy and more feminine as things progress. But he also goes from dressing a little young for his age (how his family dressed him) to trying to dress super grown up to, in the end, dressing his own age. It's been awesome analyzing images of kids, tweens and teens from the regency period for developing Tristan's wardrobe.

Beyond Tristan, I think about less silver-spoon members of the cast and love combing through images of farmers and lower class working people to imagine what they might wear. I do this for my witch character, who is supposed to be of more humble circumstances as a village cunning woman. But I take some liberties with her as well to show that she's more "witchy" and eccentric than your average laborer. So I add elements of 1790s fashion into her wardrobe despite the fact that the story is in 1810, both to show she's a bit "behind the times" and because that period had some "witchy" elements, namely these hats:

Here's an example of a working woman's outfit (aka what I imagine beneath this sick ass hat):

I also think about it as far as how it would set a character apart--Crispin, for example, comes from a realm where not much has changed in 200+ years, so he wears clothing similar to that of the early 1600s. This reflects how he, a nonhuman entity in the mortal realm, disrupts everything-- the timeline, normalcy, everything.

I could go on and on, but I'll stop there 😅
