Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
½ cup citric acid
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup Epsom salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon rose water (optional, for extra rose scent)
1 tablespoon dried rose petals
5–10 drops essential oil (rose, lavender, or your preferred scent)
A few drops of pink or red food colouring (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone molds or ice cube trays with a bit of coconut oil.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, water, rose water (if using), and essential oil. If you’re using food coloring, add a few drops to this mixture.
Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, a little at a time, while continuously stirring. The mixture should be slightly damp and hold together when pressed. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more water.
Add Rose Petals: Gently fold in the dried rose petals, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Press into Molds: Pack the mixture tightly into your molds, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape. If needed, use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down well.
Dry the Steamers: Let the steamers dry in the molds for at least 24 hours. Once they are completely dry and hard, gently pop them out of the molds.
Store and Use: Store your shower steamers in an airtight container. To use, place one on the floor of your shower away from direct water flow. As it dissolves, it will release a lovely aroma and essential oils, enhancing your shower experience.
Enjoy the soothing aroma and calming effects of your rose-infused shower steamers, turning your shower into a spa-like retreat!

I really like doing DIY hampers, and someone told me I should share my go-to for a sick loved one. It's good for physical and mental illnesses; it has a mix of practical and fun things, some of which you can make yourself or thrift (at your discretion).
Tumblr media
From left to right:
A mug, lemon and ginger tea, and a small jar of (locally sourced if possible) honey.
A soft pair of socks.
Shower steamers for breathing (if the person has a respiratory illness) or for uplifting. If they have a bath, bath bombs.
Disposable no-rinse toothbrushes.
A little hands-on kit eg: dinosaur skeleton puzzle (make sure it is low effort and everything they need is included).
Nice smelling room/pillow spray (you can make this yourself with a clean spray bottle, water, and a few drops of essential oil; lavender and/or peppermint is great).
A few scratch lottery tickets.
Body or baby wipes.
Some trashy magazines (the ones that are like 'I married my cat!' are always fun).
Hydralyte or similar electrolyte supplement.
A large dishwasher safe water bottle (I love Camelbak ones; they are 1.5L/50oz and made with recycled plastic).
Some treats according to your person's preference.
Not pictured, but you could add essentials depending on their illness, eg: paracetamol, ibuprofen, vicks inhaler, aloe tissues.
Obviously this is all budget dependent and you can mix and match. Put your chosen items in a shoebox or basket with some tissue paper and a note, and ta-da! You are a hero!!
I hope this helps or inspires someone. :)

Unwrapping Holiday Cheer on a Budget: 10 Dollar Tree Gift Ideas That Wow
The holidays are a time for joy, togetherness, and... oh no, the gift budget is shrinking faster than a gingerbread house in a rainstorm! Fear not, festive friends, for the Dollar Tree, that magical realm of $1 treasures, is here to sleigh your gifting woes. With aisles brimming with hidden gems and enough creativity to fuel a thousand Pinterest boards, you can score amazing gifts that'll warm hearts without emptying your wallet. So, grab your reusable tote bag (because sustainability!), channel your inner elf, and let's dive into 10 Dollar Tree delights that'll make this holiday season sparkle, even on a shoestring budget.
Tumblr media
1. Pamper Me Pretty:
Everyone deserves a little self-care indulgence, and Dollar Tree's beauty section is a treasure trove of pampering picks. Grab a set of glittery bath bombs for a fizzy, fragrant escape, or curate a mini spa kit with silky sleep masks, cucumber eye patches, and aromatherapy shower steamers. Add a touch of luxury with scented hand lotions and bath salts, and don't forget the finishing touch: fuzzy socks and nail polish in festive hues. Wrap it all up in a cute basket or fabric pouch, and voila! A spa day waiting to happen, for under $10!
2. Game On!:
Unleash the inner game enthusiast with a DIY game night box. Fill a decorative box with Dollar Tree's bounty: classic card games like Uno and Phase 10, miniature versions of popular board games, dice for impromptu Yahtzee sessions, and even blank playing cards for endless creativity (think Mad Libs or charades!). Throw in some festive snacks and drinks, and you've got a recipe for laughter-filled evenings all winter long.
3. Movie Magic:
Cinematic escapism awaits on the Dollar Tree shelves! Grab a selection of family-friendly or genre-specific DVDs (horror for the thrill-seekers, rom-coms for the hopeless romantics!), cozy popcorn buckets, and packs of microwaveable movie snacks. Add a plush throw blanket and some twinkle lights for ambiance, and boom! Instant home theater experience, ready to transport your loved ones to faraway lands (or just the couch next door).

4. Master Chef in the Making:
For the budding culinary connoisseur, a DIY baking kit is the perfect present. Fill a jar with dry ingredients for a simple cake or cookie mix, layer in sprinkles and icing, and tie it up with a cheerful ribbon. Add a cute spatula or cookie cutter for an extra touch, and attach a recipe card for baking fun. Bonus points for creating personalized labels with the recipient's name and your secret family recipe!
5. Green Thumbs Rejoice!:
Nurture those green thumbs with a DIY terrarium kit. Grab a small glass container, some decorative pebbles, and artificial succulents or air plants (no watering worries!). Add tiny figurines or fairy lights for an enchanting touch, and package it in a decorative box. This low-maintenance plant haven is perfect for office desks or apartment dwellers, and it's a gift that keeps on giving (at least until the air plant needs a spritz!).

6. Cozy Comfort Corner:
Snuggle up and read the winter blues away with a cozy reading kit. Fill a basket with plush throws, fuzzy socks, and a selection of books from Dollar Tree's surprisingly diverse literary offerings. Choose classics, contemporary fiction, or even cookbooks for the foodie in your life. Add a cute mug and a bag of hot cocoa mix, and you've got the perfect antidote to a chilly winter day.
7. Craftastic Creations:
Unleash the inner artist with a DIY craft kit. Dollar Tree's craft section is an explosion of colorful possibilities. Grab some blank canvases, paint, and brushes, or get creative with wood crafts, jewelry making kits, or even tie-dye supplies. Throw in some decorative stickers, glitter, and pom-poms for extra pizazz, and let the imaginations run wild! This gift is perfect for kids, adults, and anyone who loves to get their hands messy (in the best way possible!).
8. Teacher's Toolbox of Treasures:
Show your appreciation for the educators in your life with a personalized "Teacher's Toolbox of Treasures." Fill a decorative container with helpful little trinkets and essentials to make their day-to-day lives a little brighter. Think coffee mug warmers, colorful sticky notes, fun pens and markers, even mini staplers. Add a pack of thank-you cards for students to express their gratitude, and throw in a cute stress ball or mini succulent for moments of zen amidst the lesson planning. This thoughtful and practical gift says "thank you" in a hundred different ways.
9. Get Crafty with Cards:
Don't underestimate the power of a handmade card! Dollar Tree's greeting card aisle is a treasure trove of blank cards, colorful tissue paper, stickers, and embellishments. Let the creativity flow: create unique pop-up designs, use glitter and glue to add sparkle, or write heartfelt messages inside. A personalized card shows you put thought and effort into the gift, and it's a keepsake that can be cherished long after the holidays are over.
10. Stocking Stuffers Galore:
No holiday season is complete without the joy of overflowing stockings! Dollar Tree Compass is a stocking stuffer paradise, with options for everyone. Grab festive candy canes and chocolates, tiny trinkets and toys, fun socks and hair accessories. For the tech-savvy, consider mini phone chargers or earbuds. For the bookworms, bookmarks and small notebooks are perfect. Don't forget the practical picks: hand warmers, lip balm, even mini first-aid kits. Mix and match with creativity, and let the stockings overflow with holiday cheer, all for a fraction of the cost.
Remember, the true magic of Dollar Tree gifts lies in the thoughtfulness and personalization. Take the time to choose items that your loved ones will truly appreciate, and don't be afraid to get creative. Add a handwritten note, wrap it in festive paper (Dollar Tree has that too!), and watch your budget-friendly gifts spark joy and laughter this holiday season. So, spread the cheer, embrace the magic of the $1, and let Dollar Tree help you weave unforgettable holiday memories, one treasure at a time.
Bonus Tip: Get the whole family involved! Make Dollar Tree shopping a treasure hunt, have kids pick out gifts for their friends and teachers, and let everyone's creativity run wild. Who knows, you might just discover some hidden talents and create holiday memories that will last a lifetime.
Happy gifting, and happy holidays!

Ideas for a self-care basket on a tight budget? One of my partners got a promotion to a super stressful position (they like it but it's a lot) and could really use some things to relax.

What Are Shower Steamers?
Bath Salt shower steamers are specially crafted tablets designed to transform your daily shower into an aromatic and therapeutic experience. When placed in your shower, these steamers release essential oils and fragrances that envelop you in a soothing or invigorating mist, making your shower feel like a mini spa session. Unlike bath bombs, which are designed for soaking in the tub, shower steamers work with the steam and water from your shower, offering a quick and convenient way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy.
Benefits of Using Bath Salt Shower Steamers
Aromatherapy: Infused with pure essential oils, our shower steamers offer targeted aromatherapy benefits, helping to relax, energize, or relieve sinus congestion.
Convenience: Perfect for those who don’t have time for a long bath but still want to indulge in self-care.
Versatility: Whether you’re starting your day with an energizing boost or winding down with calming scents, our steamers cater to your specific needs.
How They Differ from Bath Bombs
Bath bombs are designed for immersion in bathwater, creating a colorful and fragrant soak. Shower steamers, however, are activated by water and steam in the shower. They don’t dissolve in a tub but instead fizz on the shower floor, releasing their scents directly into the steam. This makes them perfect for shower lovers who want the benefits of bath bombs without the need for a bath.
Types of Bath Salt Shower Steamers
Our Bath Salt shower steamers come in a variety of formulations, each designed to address specific needs:
Relaxation Steamers
Infused with soothing essential oils like lavender and chamomile, our relaxation steamers help to calm the mind and body, making them perfect for evening showers.
Energizing Steamers
Start your day with a burst of energy by using our energizing steamers, featuring invigorating scents such as citrus, peppermint, and eucalyptus.
Sinus-Relief Steamers
Combat congestion and breathe easier with our sinus-relief steamers, which contain powerful essential oils like eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree.
Aromatherapy Steamers
Tailored to enhance your emotional well-being, our aromatherapy steamers include blends like rosemary for mental clarity, ylang-ylang for mood enhancement, and geranium for balance.
How to Use Bath Salt Shower Steamers
To maximize the benefits of your Bath Salt shower steamers, follow these simple steps:
Safety Precautions
Always check the ingredients for potential allergens, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid using steamers with harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. Consult a healthcare provider if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding before using steamers with certain essential oils.
Duration of Use
Our shower steamers are designed to last the entire duration of your shower, typically dissolving over 5-10 minutes. For longer showers, consider using two steamers.
Ideal Water Temperature
Use warm to hot water to create enough steam to disperse the essential oils throughout your shower, enhancing the aromatherapy experience.
Proper Placement in the Shower
Place the steamer on the shower floor, but away from direct water flow. This will allow it to dissolve slowly, releasing its fragrance over time.
DIY Shower Steamer Recipes
If you’re feeling creative, you can make your own shower steamers at home. Here’s a basic guide:
Basic Recipe Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup cornstarch
Water in a spray bottle
20-30 drops of your chosen essential oils
Customization Ideas
Personalize your steamers by adding dried herbs, flower petals, or natural colorants. You can also adjust the strength of the scent by varying the amount of essential oils used.
Storage Tips
Store your homemade steamers in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Mold Options
Use silicone molds in fun shapes or even ice cube trays to create custom steamers that fit your style.
Essential Oil Combinations
Experiment with combinations like lavender and eucalyptus for relaxation, or lemon and peppermint for an energizing shower experience.
Best Practices for Maximum Enjoyment
To fully enjoy your Bath Salt shower steamers, incorporate these best practices:
Incorporating into Your Self-Care Routine
Make shower steamers a part of your daily self-care ritual by choosing scents that match your mood or the time of day.
Creating a Spa-Like Atmosphere
Enhance your shower experience by dimming the lights, playing soft music, and using a plush bathrobe to create a relaxing, spa-like environment.
Pairing Steamers with Complementary Products
For an even more luxurious experience, pair your steamers with our Bath Salt body scrubs, lotions, or facial masks that complement the steamer’s scent profile.
Buying Guide: Choosing Quality Shower Steamers
When selecting shower steamers, consider these factors to ensure you get the best product:
Price Range and Value Considerations
Our Bath Salt shower steamers offer a range of options from affordable to premium, ensuring there’s something for every budget without compromising on quality.
Popular Brands and Reviews
Look for brands like Bath Salt that are known for using natural ingredients and have positive customer reviews. Our steamers are crafted with care and loved by many for their potency and effectiveness.
Red Flags to Avoid
Avoid steamers with artificial fragrances, synthetic dyes, or harsh chemicals. These can irritate the skin and diminish the benefits of aromatherapy.
Ingredients to Look For
Choose steamers made with natural essential oils, baking soda, citric acid, and other gentle ingredients. Look for added benefits like menthol crystals or organic herbs that can enhance the steamer’s effects.
With Bath Salt shower steamers, you can elevate your daily shower into a rejuvenating and aromatic experience, perfect for any time of day. Whether you’re looking to relax, invigorate, or simply indulge in some self-care, our steamers are a simple yet effective way to bring a little luxury into your routine.

DIY Shower Steamers: Easy Recipes for a Spa-Like Experience at Home
Creating your own shower steamers at home can be a fun and rewarding way to personalize your shower routine and enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy. DIY shower steamers allow you to customize the scents and ingredients to suit your specific needs and preferences, using simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand. By making your own shower steamers, you can ensure that you are using high-quality, natural ingredients and avoid any unwanted additives or chemicals.
To make DIY shower steamers, you'll need a few key ingredients such as baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and essential oils. These components work together to create shower steamers that fizz and release aromatic vapors when exposed to water and steam. You can choose from a variety of essential oils to create your desired fragrance blend, whether you prefer uplifting citrus scents, calming floral notes, or refreshing herbal aromas. Mixing and molding the ingredients into shower steamers is a straightforward process, resulting in a product that can elevate your shower experience.
Using your DIY shower steamers is simple: place one on the floor of your shower, away from the direct stream of water but close enough to be activated by the steam and splashes. As the shower steamer dissolves, it releases its essential oils into the air, creating a fragrant and therapeutic shower experience. With regular use, you'll likely notice an improvement in your mood and overall sense of well-being. By crafting your own shower steamers, you can enjoy a personalized and eco-friendly alternative to store-bought options, making them a great addition to any self-care routine.

Unlock the Secret World of Shower Steamers: Tips You Won't Believe!"
1. The Hidden Humidifier
Did you know that a shower steamer can double as a makeshift humidifier? Simply place one in a bowl of hot water near your bedside overnight. The slow release of essential oils not only humidifies the air but infuses your bedroom with a subtle, relaxing fragrance, promoting better sleep.
2. The DIY Scent Explosion
Why settle for standard scents when you can create your own signature blend? Mix and match pieces of different shower steamers to unleash an explosion of personalized scents. Lavender for relaxation, citrus for a morning energy boost, or peppermint for mental clarity – the combinations are endless!
3. The Ultimate Shoe Deodorizer
Forget about baking soda or fancy shoe sprays. A dry shower steamer can work wonders as a shoe deodorizer. Place a steamer in each shoe overnight and let the essential oils do their magic. Not only will your shoes smell amazing, but the anti-bacterial properties of certain oils like tea tree can help sanitize them.
4. The Closet Freshener Hack
Take a dry shower steamer and place it in your closet or drawer. The essential oils will gently permeate your clothes, towels, or linens, leaving them smelling fresh and clean. It's a simple, eco-friendly way to keep your storage smelling great without the use of harsh chemicals.
5. The Secret to Smoother Skin
While shower steamers are primarily known for their aromatic benefits, they can also contribute to smoother, more hydrated skin. How? The steam helps open up your pores, allowing the natural oils from the steamer to penetrate deeper into your skin, offering a subtle, moisturizing effect.
6. The Plant Reviver
Your houseplants can benefit from a little spa day, too. After using a shower steamer, don't throw it away. Instead, dissolve the remnants in water and use it to water your plants. The essential oils can help ward off pests and diseases, giving your green friends a healthy boost.
7. The Mood-Setting Masterpiece
Planning a special evening or need to unwind after a long day? Set up a shower steamer or two in your bathroom, turn off the lights, and light a few candles. The combination of soothing scents, warm steam, and soft candlelight can create an unparalleled relaxing ambiance, perfect for de-stressing or romantic nights in.

What are Shower Steamers?
Shower steamers are small, effervescent tablets that dissolve in the shower, releasing aromatic scents into the air. They are typically made with a combination of baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils. The fizzing action of the steamers helps disperse the fragrance, creating a therapeutic atmosphere in your shower.
Benefits of Using Shower Steamers:
Aromatherapy: Essential oils have been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and uplift mood. Shower steamers bring the benefits of aromatherapy to your daily routine, allowing you to enjoy the scents of lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, or other essential oils while you shower.
Energizing and Invigorating: Certain scents, like citrus or peppermint, can have an invigorating effect, helping to wake up your senses and boost your energy levels. Using a shower steamer with these scents in the morning can be a refreshing way to start your day.
Sinus Relief: Steamers infused with menthol or eucalyptus oils can provide relief from congestion and sinus discomfort. The steam and aroma help open up your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe and promoting a sense of well-being.
Stress Reduction: The act of taking a shower itself is often a relaxing experience. Adding the soothing scents of lavender or chamomile through shower steamers can enhance this relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and promote a sense of calm.
How to Use Shower Steamers:
Place Strategically: Put the shower steamer in a location where it will get wet but not directly under the water stream. This allows the steamer to dissolve more slowly, prolonging the aromatic experience.
Adjust Water Temperature: Warmer water helps create more steam, intensifying the release of the essential oils. Adjust the water temperature to your liking, keeping in mind that hot water can enhance the effectiveness of the shower steamer.
Take Your Time: Allow yourself to enjoy the scents and steam. Taking slow, deep breaths can enhance the aromatherapy benefits.
DIY Shower Steamers:
If you enjoy a hands-on approach, you can create your own shower steamers at home. Mix baking soda, citric acid, and your choice of essential oils, and mold them into small tablets. Let them dry thoroughly before use.
Conclusion:
Shower steamers offer a simple yet luxurious way to incorporate aromatherapy into your daily routine. Whether you seek relaxation, energy, or sinus relief, there's a shower steamer scent for every mood. Elevate your shower experience and turn it into a self-care ritual with these delightful aromatic tablets.

7 Laundry Hacks: Apartment Edition: Spin, Sort and Succeed
Tumblr media
Laundry woes have you in a spin cycle? For most people, laundry is their second least favorite chore. Here are some snappy laundry hacks to help you know how to stay on top of laundry so it’s not so bad after all.
1. Plan and schedule
Don't let laundry catch you off guard like a surprise stain. Make a laundry routine and schedule your days like a pro. 
2. Maximize space
In an apartment, every square inch counts. Get crafty with space-saving techniques. A clothes folding board makes folded clothes smooth and flat. Hang clothes on your shower rod or grab a collapsible drying rack that folds for easy storage when not in use.
3. Organize and label
Avoid turning your whites into a colorful surprise. Use labeled laundry bags or bins to keep everything in order. (When in doubt, just don't mix your red socks with your whites.) Disaster averted.
4. Wrinkle-free techniques
Wrinkles, begone. Hang your clothes immediately after drying to defeat wrinkles before they even have a chance. If you spot a difficult wrinkle, break out a wrinkle-release spray or a steamer to smooth those creases away.
5. Stubborn stains and mysterious odors
Coffee spill? Ink explosion? Treat stains pronto by blotting, not rubbing. Let a stain remover sit for half an hour before washing. A DIY stain remover laundry hack is a mixture of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and dish soap.
Unmask mysterious odors by adding a cup of vinegar or baking soda to the wash cycle. For persistent odors, an overnight soak in a water and vinegar bath can do the trick.
6. Community etiquette
In the land of shared laundry, be a good laundry neighbor. Respect the laundry room rules and be a hero to your fellow residents. Remove your laundry promptly to avoid dirty looks and allow others to unleash their laundry powers.
7. Eco-friendly practices
Join the green laundry league and help the planet one load at a time. Wash full loads like an environmental champion, conserving water and energy. Earn a standing ovation from Mother Nature for using eco-friendly detergents and save energy by air drying clothes over furniture or drying racks.
Conquer the laundry game
With these laundry hacks up your freshly laundered sleeve, you can know how to stay on top of laundry every week. Enjoy the sweet smell of laundry success. Let the washing begin!

⋆☆⋆ Shower Steamers ⋆☆⋆
Don’t have a bath and still want to relax? Want the spa-like experience without the high costs? Want a lovely way to pamper yourself? Then go ahead and try out this DIY bath steamer recipe.
Ingredients & Necessary Items: ❅ Silicone Mold ❅ Glass Bowl ❅ Whisk ❅ Measuring Utensils ❅ Face Mask ❅ Baking Soda (8oz or 1cup) ❅ Citric Acid (8oz or 1 cup) ❅ Polysorbate 80 (Can also use Sorbitan Oleate)(2.5oz or 1/3 cup) ❅ Essential Oils of Your Choosing (Minimum of 10 drops per scent, adjusted to your smell preference.) ❅ A Colorant of Choice (Plant Power, Flower Dye, etc) ❅ Dried Herbs and/or Flowers (Optional) ❅ Nitrile Gloves
Prep Work: ❅ Grab your gloves and mask. It’s not the best to inhale the dry ingredients so a well ventilated space (at least a window open) is needed. Gloves are necessary because direct contact with the dry ingredients can cause dryness in skin or irritate it.
Initial Instructions: ❅ Mix your dry ingredients together (Baking Soda & Citric Acid) into a class bowl. I recommend sifting the Baking Soda into the Citric Acid as it will combine better. Stir with a whisk to further combine. Add in half of the herbs and/or flowers you think you’ll want. ❅ If you choose to have colored steamers, stir in the Flower or Plant Powder. If you don’t add in a colorant, they’ll be white and can still be really pretty. ❅ Mix the wet ingredients together (Polysorbate 80/Sorbitant Oleate and Essential Oils) until the Essential Oils blend evenly with  Polysorbate 80/Sorbitant Oleate. There should be little to no streaking of the Oils in the mixture. ❅Add the wet ingredients into the dry material little by little while mixing with a whisk. Once initially combined, begin to mix with your gloved hands, kneading until the liquids are nicely distributed. This mixture should have the consistency of wet sand-- just moist enough to hold its shape when pressed together. ❅ Adjust mixture as needed
Silicone Mold Usage: ❅ Add in herbs and/or flowers to mold before you add in mixture. Go lightly and be sure to avoid the edges of the mold. ❅ Fill the mold(s) with the mixture and press the mixture into the mold with your fingertips, paying attention to any edges in the mold. Fill and compress bit by bit until mold is completely full. Then take the bottom of something flat and hard (like a measuring cup) to further flatten and compress. ❅ Let dry overnight for a 24 hour period. Room temperature is OK and the mold can remain uncovered. Do not leave in a moist/humid area. ❅ Gently demold, tapping the mold to check if it sounds and feels solid. If so, continue with the demolding process. Very gently loosen the steamer from the mold by carefully pulling away the silicone while using your thumbs to gently push out the steamer.
Notes: ❅ Feel free to check out this post of mine for essential oil combinations to use. There’s more essential oils for those associations than I have in that post so if you have questions or want more options, feel free to ask. ❅ All ingredients can be found locally in grocery stores, in specialty shops or even online.

~Getting in Touch with Your Venus Sign~
*may be most helpful to those with Venus RX, Venus in the 12th, or with challenging aspects to your Venus.
Aries ♀️: Don’t hold back questions, requests, feelings, or attention. Be around those who admire you and/or don’t mind your intensity. Chase the thrills. Don’t be afraid to let your wild side out.
