How to Romanticize Your Study Sessions for Maximum Focus 🤍

Studying doesn’t have to feel like a chore, make it a vibe. When you romanticize your study sessions, you’ll actually look forward to them. Here’s how I turn my study time into a dreamy, productive experience:

1. Set the Mood with Lighting

Soft, warm lighting creates a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for focus. Swap your harsh overhead light for:

• A chic desk lamp with adjustable brightness.

• Fairy lights or a Himalayan salt lamp for an extra glow.

• Candles (if allowed) for a touch of sophistication.

2. Create an Aesthetic Workspace

Your study space should feel like you. Clear the clutter and bring in elements that inspire:

• A minimalist desk setup with neutral or pastel tones.

• A vase of fresh flowers or eucalyptus stems for a natural touch.

• Coordinated stationery and planners for an effortlessly chic vibe.

3. Wear Your “Study Uniform”

I hate wearing the hoodie and sweats because it puts me in a lazy and tired mindset.

• A comfy yet cute matching lounge set.

• A messy bun secured with a silk scrunchie.

• Light, natural makeup to feel put-together (yes, even for studying).

4. Have the Perfect Playlist

Music is everything when it comes to setting the tone. Some ideas:

• Lo-fi beats for a calm, focused ambiance (my fav!)

• Instrumental movie soundtracks (think Pride and Prejudice or The Secret Garden).

• Nature sounds like rain or ocean waves if music is too distracting.

5. Add a Signature Drink

My girl moment isn’t complete without the perfect beverage. Some go-to options:

• An iced matcha latte in a clear glass with a reusable straw.

• A lavender or chamomile tea in a delicate mug.

• A sparkling water with lemon slices for a refreshing vibe.

6. Romanticize Your Study Tools

Your study tools should inspire productivity and aesthetic. Here’s how:

• Invest in high-quality pens, like Muji gel pens or mildliners.

• Use a stylish leather or vegan notebook.

• Organize your notes digitally with GoodNotes or Notion.

7. Incorporate Mini Breaks

Every study session needs balance. Take short breaks that keep the vibes alive:

• A 5-minute stretch routine to soft piano music.

• A quick journal entry reflecting on your study goals.

• Lighting a new candle to reset your focus.

8. Visualize Your Future Self

Tap into your main character energy:

• Imagine yourself acing exams, landing your dream job, or feeling like that girl who has it all together.

• Use a vision board or affirmations to stay inspired: “I am intelligent, disciplined, and unstoppable.”

I was inspired by @blissfullyecho to make these types of posts 🤍 thank you

Since i can’t pour energy into writing a whole fic/drawing stuff yet, I’m gonna dump some headcanons I have on Mishuggy.

(Long post ahead)

Shanks only bathes in the sea so its smell became his trademark scent. Buggy loves the seawater scent on him. He can never bathe in the sea anymore, so it brings him comfort when he cuddles with Shanks bc it’s the closest he can get to being in contact with the sea without feeling weak. Every time they meet, Shanks makes sure to bathe in the sea first before meeting Buggy so cuddle time will last longer.

One of Mihawk’s stims is running his hand through Buggy’s hair.

Mihawk is a night person, Shanks is an insomniac, Buggy is a morning person. Mihawk often joins Shanks when he can’t sleep, some wine and talking. Sometimes they’d be quiet and admire a sleeping Buggy.

Buggy’s voice gets low and rough often when his social battery is drained or he’s not in his stage persona (which is a very rare occurrence). Mihawk finds this incredibly attractive.

Shanks absolutely adores Buggy’s voice cracks.

Shanks is the best kisser, Mihawk is the most awkward/timid, Buggy has the most kissable lips (Shanks loves it when his lipstick leaves stains) but because of his nose, he’s the most awkward to kiss (if you’re not a professional Buggy-kisser like Shanks!)

Mihawk may not prefer lips-to-lips kissing, but he does love kissing other parts of the body like the hands, the shoulder, etc.

Buggy’s lowkey attentive to Mihawk’s infodumps on different kinds of blades, its uses and history. He’s fond of blades as well but more on short blades like daggers and machetes. He loses his mind seeing how cool Mihawk’s cross pendant knife is, and couldn’t resist showing off to him the hidden knives and explosives in his body (Mihawk wonders how he has not killed himself yet by accident).

Mihawk kinda cringes on Buggy’s habit of licking knives. He asks how has he not cut his tongue yet, Buggy is like “Hawky are u fr” then he chops off his tongue and Mihawk is horrified but quickly felt stupid remembering Buggy had devil fruit powers.

Buggy loves cherries and other sweet fruits. Hates pineapple way before he ate the Chop Chop fruit, and his distaste for it increased after eating it.

Shanks likes fish and Mihawk likes vegetable dishes (borderline vegan at this point).

Buggy loves warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows, gold). It just so happens that Mihawk and Shanks are associated with red and yellow.

Even though Mihawk and Buggy are complete opposites of a spectrum, they surprisingly get along well in terms of hobby. They both like to read, for one. Mihawk will mention a book in one of his infodumps and Buggy will be like “Oh yeah I love that one chapter where…” They both like art as well; Mihawk drew and painted in his free time when he was living in the castle, preferring still objects, dead sceneries, and chiaroscuro lightings.

Other than performance art (acting and acrobatics), Buggy is into cartography and drawing landscapes with oil pastels, but he often does maps more. When he does draw landscapes, the subject are often places where he has strong fondness/feelings of (his circus tent, Loguetown, the sea, etc). He uses small paper mediums and tucks them away. He only got to try painting when Mihawk offered. They had fun and created abstract - Buggy splashes paint spotaneously and generously, Mihawk feels the waste of paint but eventually lets loose (Buggy’s encouragement) and tried stroking the paintbrush like he wields his sword (when the canvas was slashed, they considered it a finished artwork).

Buggy and Mihawk also likes shiny things. Buggy loves treasure-finding more as an activity sure, but opening a chest full of shiny gems and trinkets is also what makes it enjoyable. He’s fond of jeweled earrings and rings but would rather keep them in a chest than wear them daily. Mihawk’s fondness for shiny things began with blades, but it also extended to shining gold colors. He’s not fond of gold for wealth purposes, he just likes shiny things.

Mihawk hates swimming whereas Shanks and Buggy love it (Buggy loves it more, but can’t do it anymore after eating his devil fruit). Mihawk hates getting wet for a long period of time + swimming is a strenuous activity, but he only learns it bc it’s a necessity for survival esp he travels by sea (and also bc there was one time where he almost drowned and its one of his most embarrassing memories. He was glad he travelled alone bc he’ll die of embarrassment forever if anyone lived to see that)

Shanks is a generous gift-giver. He isn’t materialistic himself, but the moment either Buggy or Mihawk express a passing comment about a rare wine he wanted to try someday or a map he wants to get his hands on - you got it. Shanks WILL find a way.

Whenever they go out together, Mihawk cringes at their fashion tastes. Shanks is more of a “this shirt is 10yrs old but hey its still usable” kind of guy. Buggy wears the most eyestrain clown outfits ever that will make you wonder “how did i end up with this guy”. In Shanks and Buggy’s head, they think Mihawk is an edgelord with his dark outfits on every occasion. Despite all this though, they find each other handsome.

What are the characters favorite/least favorite food.

I'm sure they aren't picky after being starved for 10 years, but I'm sure that Angel said it was okay to dislike something

Oof, it's about time I answered this!

Poppy loves desserts, but brownies and cakes are her favorites. She detests dragon fruit – so pretty, and it tastes like that? Horrendous!

Huggy has a hard time eating salads in general thanks to his teeth and poor control over his movements. Loves gummy bears, though! They're SUPER squishy and nice to munch on.

Kissy doesn't like eating meat or anything crunchy, as it reminds her too much of what she had to eat at Playtime Co. She however loves soups since the day Angel first made one, which was two nights after the rescue!

Mommy Long Legs loves spicy food. She's tearing up and her mouth feels like burning but she WILL keep on eating whatever spicy food there is until it's all over. Also really likes pumpkins! But please don't let her even near beets. She thinks it tastes like dirt. Also doesn't like overly sweet things.

DogDay, unlike MLL, has a huge sweet tooth and can and WILL eat anything sweet he gets his hands on. He likes chocolate the most! Hates having to eat anything spicy, as well as fried foods because his hands always feel icky afterwards.

CatNap takes a long time before he finds any preferences, because to him food is food, but he does love sushi and fish in general. He avoids eating anything that isn't dry and he can hold in his hands at first because he can't move his hands very well, but after some months of training he stops avoiding. Has no food he refuses to eat or dislikes.

Picky Piggy goes vegan. She can't even smell meat for the first few months without risking a panic attack! Loves anything that has potatoes in it though, it's always a 10/10 to her.

Bubba loves curry. He doesn't know why, but it sure makes him happy! Hates beans in general, though, because he always eats them on groups of 4 and he has to make some mental math in order to see if he should add more or not.

Kickin likes pastel. Angel managed to make some and told him it's a brazilian food. Kickin fell in love and can't get enough of it. Also really likes sushi! Hates spicy food and plates that are just green. Spicy because of sensory overload, green because he likes more variety.

Craftycorn LOVES pie, it's the best food ever to her. Hates anything that takes too much work for her to chew or cut because it reminds her a bit of how things were back at the factory.

Bobby Bearhug loves bacon and eggs. And just eggs in general. Also salad. salad with eggs added is something she adores, girl can't get enough. Just please don't ask her to eat fish, she hates those!

Hoppy loves corn and burguers in general. She's stimming everytime she has the opportunity to do so. Hates soup though.

Miss Delight avoids meat in general, but doesn't refuse to eat it. She loves jelly though! She thinks it looks and tastes SO good, she's stimming every time she can eat one, much like how Hoppy is with her food.

Boxy Boo still likes meat, but is horrified at the things Picky makes that LOOK like meat but AREN'T. He feels like a fool, staring at her in disbelief while Hoppy is laughing her ass off.

Bunzo Bunny isn't allowed to be alone near corn or candy anymore because he can and will eat even if not hungry. Ironically doesn't like carrots at all.

PJ Pug-a-Pillar loves cooked veggies and is often following Picky around when she's cooking. He doesn't like chocolate, though.

Angel loves cooked veggies and pasta. They're used to making them because it was easy to do and super tasty, but after becoming a parent it's just comfort instead of "I have no energy to do more" food. Also hates dragon fruit, same reasons as Poppy.

Prototype, like Bubba, LOVES curry. Doesn't have a least favorite food though!

What is it about Terry that makes him so hot? Is it the way he looks? His demeanor? Character?

Despite the obvious fact that TIG is sex on legs, Terry has character. He's handsome and rich, sure, but he is smart, sophisticated and very, very driven. He's a hard worker and talented man to become such an accomplished martial artist, entrepreneur and pianist. That piano piece is insanely difficult. He's demanding but he can back it up. He is powerful. He is demonstrably resilient. I think he's exacting to be around because he cannot be chill about anything, he even goes the extra mile on being Chill. Beach view. Calming colours. Soothing art, soothing music, vegan diets, camel tones, pastels, cushions, long flowing hair - calm down, man! You also know everything in that house is solar powered, ethically sourced, et cetera. How many people do we know like that? If he wasn't also just slightly insane, he would be a very appealing person to be around. Very few people have his mental strength to match the physical.

Eleven years ago, Tumblr introduced me to this absolute gem of a human being. @griefxaddict ‘s writing always kept me captivated and although he asked many a time how I was doing, I never truly answered.

In 2023, I finally replied moments after he asked and in a short time regretted never having done so before. We bonded over music, poetry, Lord of the Rings, veganism, and all the other intricacies that make us - us!

We’ve just spent our first Christmas/Hanukkah together with the pastel pink tree he promised me a year ago and with Jewish gonks next to a menorah.

I met his incredible family and he’s taken me to see some of his favourite places. Every day with him is a beautiful adventure.

We met here, in this writing community and I’m eternally grateful.

HERES SOME INFO ABOUT COLA! (+my lil idea for Todd x Cola)

Name: (his actual name is a mystery)

Nickname: Cola

age: 20

Height: 5'7

Sexuality: Gay

Likes: Red velvet, drawing, art as a whole, cooking, going out, rnb, the color blue, pastel things

Hates: dry people, mixed signals, red velvet antis, ketchup, edm music, the color navy blue

(Todd x Cola below! pls be nice lol!)

Ever since Cola had his last break up, he's been pretty unmotivated and unmoved. it took a lot out of him because Cola was so attached to the man, he made him feel human and made him feel alive...just for him to make him feel like THIS

Cola would then decide to try to take some action on these emotions by making a song about it, he put it on soundcloud thinking it wouldn't take off but by a stroke a luck it definitely did.

He got relatively popular, despite him not doing many performances due to his shyness. He'd later hear from twitter that a vegan rockstar and his girlfriend have broken up because he cheated on her with a fellow bandmate. Just for Cola's manager to call him on the phone an hour later.

Colas manager told him that Envy is taking a break from the band, whether it's permanent or temporary is kind of a toss up, but she was gonna focus on her solo career instead of entertaining his ex's bullshit. Cola was confused why he was telling him all this, just to be told that they saw a brilliant business move

The manager told Cola that he could fill in for envy! their band is pretty popular too, and it could get more eyes on Cola's music as well, and the pay would be pretty good.

Cola was hesitant about doing it, but Cola would go through with it, just as a way get more eyes on his music...but he told the manager he was gonna complain about it and be a bitch about it every 5 minutes.

(A few weeks later)

The manager arranged a session with Cola and Todd, they'd meet up and make a song with each other that'd spearhead the collab!

Todd had a big head about it, since his band was pretty popular, he thought that Cola would be excited to work with him, just for Cola to humble the FUCK out of him.

They'd take a selfie with each other, but Cola was fake smiling, after the selfie, he went pretty cold, not wanting to talk or interact with Todd unless it was about the song. Cola was a perfectionist when it came to his work, so he was kind of a dick about re-recording lines, restacking vocals, etc. However, in Cola's mind he wasn't doing anything wrong just because Todd was a dick to envy.

All this dictating kinda got under Todd's skin, after all HE was the rockstar, so why is some random loser controlling him???

He couldn't argue with results tho...when they reached a stopping point, they both listened to the song, it sounded...perfect.

Todd was impressed, and even kept listening to it over and over, while Cola packed his things and got ready to leave. When Todd was getting ready to high five Cola, Cola just blankly stared at Todd and left for the bus. Todd didn't know why Cola was being so distant with him, they needed to work together after all.

While he was on the bus, Cola held true to his promise, he complained like a bitch about working with Todd, The manager would reluctantly listen to every word.

The next few practices, Todd would try to impress Cola, he felt like the reason why Cola hated him was because he wasn't good enough, so Todd would attempt at getting better when it came to his vocals, the way he played, etc. But it'd end up with him falling on his face and flopping.

Cola would see this and would chuckle. This was the first time Todd saw Cola get close to smiling...Cola would notice this and clear his throat trying to focus on pumping out these songs.

As time went on, Cola was slowly starting to complain less and less to the manager...he saw how much Todd was trying to impress him, and while 50% of the time it ended up failing, he couldn't help but laugh at how cute Todd was at times.

A connection was slowly starting to be formed between the two, during practices, now Todd and Cola would start to joke around a bit. They'd tease each other, laugh at each other, and ultimately make some of the best music the two have ever made! The music was helping Todd show that he was still awesome and worthy of respect, while it was helping Cola break out of his shell and become a bit more relaxed.

Todd would start to question Cola about the lyrics he'd propose sometimes. Cola would become a bit timid as he'd say that the lyrics were a bit personal. Todd would read these lyrics and would have a critique, they are all a bit, bummy...not every song has to be something sad. Cola would take it a bit personally, and would argue that these are experiences that he's gone through

Todd would blink and ask Cola why he just, don't have any happy experiences then, why don't he just, write about happy things so they don't bore the audience. Cola would toss a pencil at him and it'd spiral into an argument but todd would get his point across. Cola would say that he can't think of a time where he's been ACTUALLY happy before.

this would puzzle Todd and would decide to do a little something, just because he

a) wants to use this opportunity to get to know Cola better

and b) at least make the man feel better

and c) so they can go back to making good music

After practice, Todd would invite Cola out to get some (vegan) food with him. Cola was a bit hesitant, but he'd decide to go along with it. Cola would still have his walls up, but he'd also get a bit bashful because he's never been included in something in...a long time.

They'd both ask each other a bunch of questions while they went out. Todd did most of the questioning but Cola responded in such long and detailed answers that Todd couldn't help and listen to Cola speak for hours...eventually Todd would start to smile warmly because he was starting to see Cola for who he truly was instead of who he thought he was in his head..

But Cola would decide to take the moment to cut into his relationship with Envy...Todd was a bit hesitant to answer, even trying to deflect the question, but the persistent Cola would be able to press his foot on Todd's enough to get an answer out of him. Todd would confess that he's really bad with communication, they both kinda were...Envy was getting on his nerves and his ego got the better of him (like it tends to do). He broke things off with Lynette after the news got out, and the band moral has been pretty awkward lately. So Todd his primarily been separated from the band, and working with Cola has been the only thing he was kinda able to do without feeling TOO awkward

Cola sat there with a shocked expression on his face. He didn't expect Todd to be so...insightful...A part of him was moved by the way Todd talked. Usually Todd is pretty simple minded, but maybe this break up was what Todd needed to finally see how bad of a person he could be at times.

Cola would sigh and pat Todd's back, reassuring him that in time, Todd will become a better person..he's already doing a good job music wise...and he could see him and Todd becoming good friends..that's if Todd was open to the idea...

Todd lit up like a star, deciding to take a selfie to celebrate this momentous occasion, and this time...Cola was actually smiling.

the next few weeks the songs Cola would propose would be a bit more positive now.

(Later on)

It was finally time for them to perform. This would be pretty important because Cola rarely does any live performances, plus he's performing with an already popular band, so this was gonna be pretty big..

Cola was noticeably quiet this day, Todd was a bit surprised because normally Cola would be talking a lot and moving around a lot...Cola would confess that he's still pretty nervous about performing live...he's worried that he may mess up or even do something dumb.

Todd holds Cola's hands and reassures him that they'll be fine, instead of focusing on everyone else's faces...just worry about his face

"my...handsome ass face"

Todd meant it as a joke but Cola would blush softly and swat Todd away while laughing nervously.

When they got on stage, Cola did just as todd said, and it was a HIT! Todd and Cola's stage presence blended seamlessly with each other, to the point that some even thought THEY were dating.

Once the performance was over, Todd and Cola celebrated, they both acted like frat bros after they made it to the play offs, and for a moment the two of them locked eyes with each other while hugging...and just as they were about to do something...Cola's manager walked in to congratulate the both of them, causing both of them to have red ass faces while looking away from each other

it was safe to say that they were starting to grow pretty fond of each other, even hanging out with each other on days they didn't need to work or practice! Sometimes Cola would invite Todd over to his place to have a "private listening session" and others Todd would take Cola out on a "totally not a date" date.

but things would escalate until the night of new years eve, Todd was standing off to the side drunk as fuck and looking bummed as hell while everyone was partying. Cola decided to see what was going on since Todd wasn't the type to whine and mope at a party. Todd would sluggishly tell Cola that normally at 12 o clock, him and envy would be damn near swapping spit with each other as a tradition...and this was the first year where that kinda doesn't get to happen.

Cola would pat his shoulder and try to console Todd, but to no avail. Soon the clock would start to countdown, and Cola decided to be bold as fuck (maybe it was his mind, maybe it was the drinks) by kissing Todd on the cheek as soon as the clock struck 12. Todd's face turned red as he held Cola's face, taking a second to admire how cute he was before kissing him like he'd kiss envy...but with a bit more passion~ luckily the place was pretty crowded so maybe one or 2 people saw this happen

after the kiss, Cola would hold Todd close and huff trying to catch his breath...Cola told Todd they shouldn't go any further since Todd's love life is pretty messy right now...Todd nodded and agreed to this.

(The next day)

Cola woke up in a room half naked...his clothes were practically all over the floor...and the room he woke up in didn't look like his....there's no red velvet posters, no switch playing splatoon music...as he tried to peice together what happened...he'd turn around to see Todd smiling ear to ear in his sleep. This would make Cola scream his eyes out causing Todd to wake up in a panic, being just as confused as Cola before he figured out what happened between the two of them

....I guess they both figured out what happens after they both have 8 margaritas/ref

Cola would quickly get his clothes on, while Todd would try to calm him down, trying to explain that this is just a "happy accident", but Cola would toss a pillow at him. He was furious at both Todd AND himself for letting this happen...Cola would angrily tell Todd that

a) they can NOT let his manager figure out what happened

and b) the sex they had was MEANINGLESS and was not to happen again

Todd was a bit...heartbroken by this...he sadly nodded his head as he helped Cola get dressed.

While Cola walked back to his place...he was thinking about everything that happened...but he couldn't help but think of Todd's cute ass....Todd would try texting Cola the next couple of weeks but Cola would just ghost him as he tried to regain his peace and peice his emotions together.

He was trying to ignore the signs, but after the past few months...he felt like he may have fell in love with the man...but he was too nervous to actually say so...

So he did what he did best, and write a song about it. it was more somber and raw than anything he's ever wrote...the only thing left to do was to invite Todd over to another private listening session...

Todd listened to the song, blinking before looking softly at Cola. Cola sat next to him with his body curled up in a ball, his face was red as shit at this time...he felt like he was doing this for nothing because Cola assumed that Todd was straight..but Todd would accept Cola's confession, kissing his face before calling him a loser and a geek.

the private listening session got a lil..

steamy afterwards~ and this time it was a lot more fun now that both of them were in love and REAL love this time.

after they got done, Cola laid on the bed, and told Todd that he should probably keep this relationship a secret for now...he didn't want their relationship to become a public affair, because then none of the moments they share would be personal or meaningful anymore. Todd would assure Cola that this relationship is gonna be theirs and theirs alone.

that following week however...Envy would make a public statement saying that she was ready to go back to being in the band as the lead singer, effectively kicking Cola out. And....she was ready to forgive Todd and go back to being boyfriend and girlfriend...

Cola would read about this on twitter and would start to sweat a LOT...because this situation was gonna get MESSY.

(To be continued, or not idrk)

Day 5 putting out the garbage!

I didn't have much planned today. Portimão market was my first stop. This is where I needed some Portugese as google translate didn't quite work for me at the cheese shop, trying to enquire about vintage cheddar, but thankfully aged was understood. I also just had to guess everything I bought wasn't going to break the bank as the pricing system was a tad confusing.

Aside from the cheese I purchased some bread, pastel de nata, veg, chicken breast and my first tin of sardines and had a yummy lunch with wine at the apartment. I will definitely go back for fresh fish, not sure I'm equipped to deal with whole fish. I nearly bought a whole chicken, but then cycled through how I would prepare it and store it and get it eaten with my various restaurant plans ;)

Next stop, The Bakery Garden. The owner saw my early message on FB and reached out to let me know about her cafe. She sounded like an Aussie, and so I assumed I might get a decent latte. But sadly no, a vegan cafe with no cows milk, which ordinarily is no problem, but the coffee was too hot and the milk not foamy. I won't be going back for the boston bun she offered to make me, or lamingtons, or anything, if I gave her enough notice. How did she know I grew up on boston buns - and no need to order one from a vegan cafe in Portugal when Dad can make them for me.

The challenge for today was to tackle the garbage scenario, fearing I had not separated everything into all the piles and would be caught out by a neighbour with nothing better to do than to monitor the bins! I disposed of the plastic bottles and glass bottles, they were easily identified. Strangely when I opened the lid to the glass bin, it was bottomless and all the glass was broken in a shallow well at the bottom. The third option was paper, whoops, maybe this is for all that toilet paper I've been flushing? And the last option where there were more bins looked like they were for undies!! I will take a picture of the signange tomorrow and let you be the judge! I did ask an older english dude outside the local supermarket and he told me just to look at the pictures, duh! Maybe he doesn't put out the garbage?

It was a bit windy today and after some wine at lunch I thought I might have a nap, but sleep evaded me, so I booked a few things, a tile painting class, lunch at a vineyard, a wine tour in Duoro when I head there and a couple of dates with women who responded to my FB posts. One of them is coming with me to the vineyard later in April. We haven't met yet, hopefully it's not an awkward first date!

I ended the day with Body Attack at the gym. Roberto was very rambunctious. He had the older women eating out of his hands. I think one of them was put out by my presence as she didn't hesitate to bump into me during the class and didn't care to apologise. Little did she know I'm having a gap year from Ricardos and I am no threat!

I've finished Emily in Paris, now watching The Gentemen, interesting drama. Looking forward to a big day in Lagos tomorrow.

PGSD Diets

Due to a Pastel Doll’s lack of need to urinate, defecate and all the other things human bodies produce with food consumption; the “purpose” of consuming foods is often questioned by potential buyers.

Though it is possible to have a Doll and not allow them to eat for the pure ‘sado-masochistic’ needs of watching a creature starve to death and/or for a power-trip / reward system to be made; it is often urged to allow the dolls to feed on at least a basic food groups:

Water Grain, ( Brown Bread, Granola, Muesli ) Protein ( Red meats & Milk & Yoghurts ) Any Fruits & Vegetables. Sugar ( Chocolate, Syrups, Candy sauces etcetc )

Frederick von Reinhardt - the Creator of pgsd’s explains in future now magazine.

“Feeding your doll, like any other living creature, is welcomed and a good practice to keep yourself and your doll in a routine. It helps the doll hyper-focus on their tasks for the day, helps them plan their schedules mentally and on paper if that’s they’ve been ordered to do. Do not think of them as just one purpose creations; they are family integrating, orientated to be a part of something bigger.

Consuming food is a purpose within a purpose. We, humans, feed to stay alive, for health benefits and for comfort. The dolls are the exact same; but better. Whilst we humans have issues with certain foods and or smells or tastes, a doll sees and consumes food like a car with petrol. It needs it to function in a stable and well oiled manner.  By all means ( laugh ), starve them, beat them, destroy them - use food as a reward system or a punishment, but keep in mind that a ‘healthy’ doll is a ‘healthy’ lifestyle for not only them, but yourself too.

They are better than any pet, once given the freedom of a kitchen; they will feed when they deem it necessary; if they are allowed this freedom. They will not say no to food; processed, junk, vegan, vegetarian, whatever diet you wish to share with them. Yes; a doll may have preferences; but it is down to you; the owner, to let them experience food as a whole like any creature on this planet.

Foods in dolls; goes straight to blood production; unlike humans who have several routes for foods to take in the body; dolls have a higher stomach acidity; only when eating, this liquid destroys everything within the fluids; before ‘drying out’, in a broad term. The food consume goes straight to the blood system; thickening, thinning out, replacing lost blood cells or healing wounds that are hidden from the eyes. The chemical make-up is a bit complicated for this interview; but I promise you; nothing goes to waste. Dolls do not need to eat vegetables for better nails or better eyesight; it’s wasted on them in a sense of humane benefits; but they ( vegetables ) will aid in making sure that the blood colour is correct; that the taste of their blood is balanced, that the consistency is how you ordered it.”

In layman terms; food is essential for keeping a Gore Doll ‘up and running’, without it, they can become slower, less reactive, have ‘decreasing health’, can and will ‘shut down’ to a point without the ‘energy’ and ‘revival of blood’ in their systems. A doll can not DIE in the same fashion humans do, they can survive for years without food, but their performance severally falters at the lack of energy.

Feed the Dolls.

How to Choose the Perfect Restaurant Uniform Colors to Enhance Customer Experience

In the restaurant industry, first impressions matter. From the moment customers step into your establishment, they form opinions based on the ambiance, service, and even the uniforms worn by your staff. Uniform colors play a significant role in shaping perceptions and setting the tone for your brand. Choosing the right color palette can enhance customer experience, communicate your brand’s personality, and even influence dining behavior. Here’s how to make the best choice for your restaurant’s uniform colors.

1. Understand Your Brand’s Identity

Your uniform colors should reflect your restaurant’s brand and concept. For example:

Fine Dining Restaurants: Opt for elegant and muted tones like black, white, navy, or grey to convey sophistication and professionalism.

Casual Diners or Cafés: Use cheerful and approachable colors like pastel blue, yellow, or green to create a relaxed and friendly vibe.

Ethnic or Themed Restaurants: Incorporate colors that resonate with the culture or theme you represent, such as red and gold for an Asian restaurant or earthy tones for a Mediterranean eatery.

2. Leverage the Psychology of Colors

Colors evoke emotions and influence behavior. Here’s how specific colors can impact your customers’ perceptions:

Red: Stimulates appetite and energy, making it ideal for fast-food restaurants.

Blue: Creates a calming and trustworthy atmosphere, but use it sparingly as it’s not associated with food.

Green: Represents freshness, health, and sustainability—perfect for vegan or farm-to-table concepts.

Yellow and Orange: Promote happiness and optimism, encouraging quick turnover in casual settings.

Black and White: Suggests professionalism, balance, and timelessness, often used in upscale venues.

3. Consider Your Target Audience

Your customers’ preferences should influence your uniform choices. A family-friendly restaurant might benefit from bright, playful colors, while a high-end bistro catering to professionals may favor understated, sophisticated hues.

4. Balance Aesthetics with Practicality

While color is crucial, it’s essential to consider how the uniforms will look and perform in a restaurant setting. Darker colors like navy, black, or charcoal can help hide stains, making them practical for high-traffic environments. Lighter colors, though visually appealing, may require more frequent cleaning.

5. Coordinate with Interior Design

Your uniforms should complement the restaurant’s interior decor to create a cohesive brand identity. For example, if your restaurant has a rustic theme with earthy tones, your staff uniforms could feature shades of brown, olive green, or beige.

6. Test Before You Commit

Before finalizing your color palette, test how the uniforms look under your restaurant’s lighting. Colors can appear differently under natural versus artificial light, and you want to ensure they maintain their intended effect.

7. Keep Seasonal Variations in Mind

Consider introducing seasonal uniform variations to keep your look fresh and engaging. For instance, warmer tones in winter and cooler, vibrant colors in summer can align with seasonal moods and preferences.

Conclusion

Choosing the perfect colors for your restaurant uniforms goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about enhancing the customer experience, aligning with your brand, and creating a memorable impression. By understanding your brand identity, leveraging color psychology, and considering practical aspects, you can design uniforms that not only look great but also elevate your restaurant’s overall ambiance.

Is LA Colors Nail Polish Good?

When it comes to affordable beauty products, LA Colors Nail Polish often stands out on the shelves of drugstores and online retailers.

Known for its budget-friendly prices and wide range of colors, LA Colors is a popular choice for those looking to refresh their manicure without breaking the bank. But is LA Colors Nail Polish really good? Let's take a closer look at the quality, performance, and overall value of this nail polish brand.

1. Affordability

One of the biggest selling points of LA Colors Nail Polish is its affordability. Priced typically between $1 and $3, it's accessible for anyone on a budget. The brand offers a variety of finishes, from glossy to matte, which means you don’t have to compromise on variety just because of the low cost.

2. Wide Range of Colors and Finishes

LA Colors offers an extensive selection of colors, from bold, bright hues to classic neutrals. Whether you prefer vibrant shades or subtle tones, there's something for everyone. The polish is available in various finishes, including shimmer, metallic, creme, and matte, allowing users to experiment and express their personal style. The availability of such a wide range makes LA Colors a great option for anyone who likes to change up their nail look often.

3. Application and Coverage

When it comes to application, LA Colors Nail Polish generally provides a smooth experience. Most shades go on evenly, though some lighter or pastel colors might require a second coat for full opacity. The formula is relatively thin, which can make application feel a bit streaky, but with a little practice, it's easy to achieve a neat finish. For best results, using a base coat and top coat is recommended to enhance the longevity of the manicure.

4. Durability

The durability of LA Colors Nail Polish can be a mixed bag. While some users report that the polish lasts several days without chipping, others find that it may chip sooner than higher-end brands. The longevity largely depends on factors like the application technique, the type of top coat used, and how much wear and tear the nails endure. However, for the price, the durability is generally considered good.

5. Drying Time

One of the standout features of LA Colors Nail Polish is its relatively quick drying time. Many users appreciate how fast it sets compared to other drugstore brands. A few minutes after application, the polish is typically dry to the touch, which is perfect for those with a busy lifestyle who don't want to spend too much time waiting for their nails to dry.

6. Chip Resistance

LA Colors Nail Polish may not be as chip-resistant as some premium brands, but it does hold up reasonably well with a proper base and top coat. For those who need long-lasting wear, it might not be the best option for an extended wear manicure, but for a quick, budget-friendly fix, it works quite well.

7. Vegan and Cruelty-Free

LA Colors is committed to providing cruelty-free products, making it an excellent choice for ethically-minded consumers. The brand also offers a range of vegan options, which is an added bonus for those looking for non-animal-tested beauty products.

8. Pros and Cons

Pros:

Extremely affordable

Large variety of colors and finishes

Quick drying time

Vegan and cruelty-free options

Good for short-term wear or frequent polish changes

Cons:

Durability can vary

Some colors may require multiple coats for opacity

May not last as long as higher-end nail polishes

9. Conclusion

Overall, LA Colors Nail Polish is a solid choice for anyone looking for affordable, trendy colors and quick drying time. While it may not offer the same level of durability as more expensive brands, its wide variety of shades and finishes, combined with its low price, makes it a go-to for many.

Whether you're a nail art enthusiast or just looking for a quick polish, LA Colors is definitely worth considering, especially for those who want to experiment with different colors without a hefty price tag.

Green Trend: Incorporating Eco-Friendly Elegance into Your Wedding

As we enter into the year 2024, a new appreciation of sustainability and mindfulness has transformed beautiful ceremonies into meaningful ones. A couple might embrace green to create their unique, thoughtful ceremonies by reflecting upon how much love they have for one another as well as the planet. One of the most classic ways to get in tune with nature is the color green.

Green symbolizes harmony, growth, and new beginnings—the very elements that make up the spirit of marriage. In the chakra, green represents love and balance through its association with the heart. From the delicate mint tone to emerald, the color can really add to every detail of your wedding. Let's explore how you can make your wedding eco-friendly without compromising your sustainable values.

The Symbolism of Green in Weddings

Green is more than just a color; it represents something emotional and cultural. Renewal, peace, love, and blossoming of the above qualities every couple wants to nurture on their journey through life. To eco-friendly couples, green symbolizes nature, making it ideal for the mindful, sustainable wedding.

Soft mint greens provide a soothing, serene feel. Deep emerald adds a bold, regal feel to the palette. Green can focus on beauty and purpose when used tastefully.

Mint Green: Calm and Serene

Mint green will be ideal for couples who desire subtle elegance. The pastel softness of the mint color calms the setting and is best for day or outdoor weddings. Integrate touches of mint green via the bridesmaids' dresses, table setting, or even in your bridal shoes.

Vegan materials and made-to-order craftsmanship for perfectly green bridal shoes cut waste while fitting sustainability. Shoes made using plant-based leather or recycled parts not only fit the green theme but also support ethical practices.

Emerald Green: Regal and Luxurious

Emerald green is the definition of richness and luxury. For great evening receptions or a formal ceremony, emerald green is just fabulous and perfect. Gold will perfectly do with this deep color in creating a very royal effect. Brides may take emerald-green sarees or lehengas while grooms can do a subtle touch of green within the attire through pocket squares or ties.

Some great, environmentally-friendly shoes will be stunning if they are in emerald tones made from low-impact materials, and manufactured in a morally responsible way. Look for handcrafted shoes that are made to last so they don't have to be replaced frequently.

Ways to Incorporate Green in Your Wedding

Use Fresh Greenery: Use fresh foliage, potted plants, or hanging greens to decorate instead of cut flowers. Succulent centerpieces and eucalyptus garlands are great alternatives that are low-waste and can be used again or replanted after the wedding.

Eco-Friendly Invites: Create digital invites or stick to plantable seed paper to print them. These eco-friendly alternatives reduce waste and lend a personal touch to your big day.

Green-Themed Wear: Infuse green tones into wedding wear. The bride can wear light green lehengas while the groom can add emerald accents to the sherwani. Make use of locally available fabrics so that carbon footprint is decreased.

Sustainable wedding favors: Give meaningful favors like potted plants, reusable glass jars, or soy candles. These practical, eco-friendly reminders for growth, love, and connection are given.

Ethical footwear choices: Wedding footwear are not necessarily a fashion sacrifice. Look for vegan leather, recycled materials, or shoes with small-batch ethical production. These will work on your values, and they are nicely made, too. 

The Emotional Impact of Green

Besides the aesthetic beauty, it brings serenity and a sense of joy in relation to your wedding. Having it associated with the heart chakra, love is intensified, and so too is unity, putting everything in harmony. The gentle hint of mint green creates a serene atmosphere, while emerald richness brings boldness, energy, and zestfulness to every moment.

Conclusion: A Celebration of Love and Sustainability

So, a glimpse of green at your wedding means a whole lot more than just being in style; it speaks a lot about value and care towards love and sustainability. This is from mindful decoration to eco-friendly attires and ethical footwear, all decisions towards bettering the world.

As you begin your journey together, let green symbolize growth, harmony, and flowering love. Whether in the décor, your bridal look, or shoes made from vegan and sustainable materials, it can be a celebration of both nature and heart in your wedding.

You will join the green trend, unifying two hearts in one while making a difference for the planet. Let your wedding stand as a testament to love, purpose, and elegance, step by step.

Subtle Nail Polish Shades for a Professional and Polished Office Look

When it comes to achieving a polished and professional look, small details can make a big difference. Just like a well-chosen, ironed outfit or a polished hairstyle, your nails play a role in how you present yourself. Subtle, neutral nail polish shades can complete a professional look, adding elegance without being too overwhelming. In this blog, we will talk about some of the best nail polish shades for the office and tips on achieving a long-lasting, polished finish.

Why Are Subtle Shades Ideal for the Office?

In an office setting, you don’t want your nail polish or any other makeup products to be the center of attraction. Neutral and subtle nail polish shades are therefore perfect for work environments, as they give you a polished look without drawing too much attention. These simple shades can complement your formal outfit, giving you a clean and professional appearance. Whether you’re in a creative field or a traditional office, subtle nail polish shades are universally flattering and easily match any outfit or occasion.

Best Subtle Nail Polish Shades for Professional Settings

When choosing shades for a corporate look, think about colors that are soft and blend naturally. Here are some tried-and-true shades that work well in professional settings:

1. Soft Pinks

Pink is one of the most popular shades for nail polish. What makes them an obvious choice is their ability to add a hint of color without being too overwhelming or drawing attention. Pale blush or delicate baby pink shades are particularly ideal for a barely-there look.

Product Suggestion: You can check out Pixie Petal shade from Colorbar’s Magic Dry Elixir Nail Lacquer.

2. Muted Nudes

The versatility of nude paints makes them a great choice. As they closely match your natural nail color, nude shades create a clean and minimalistic look. It is difficult to suggest specific shades as they may differ according to your skin tone and undertone. Consider trying out different shades to find the one that complements your skin tone best. Experimenting with various nude nail polish shades can help you achieve a polished and sophisticated appearance.

3. Elegant Taupes

Taupe nails give a refined and polished look without being too flashy. The muted, neutral tones provide a classy, professional appearance that suits both work and casual settings. Taupe shades have warm undertones that can bring a cozy, comforting feel during the colder months. Prefer this shade from matte nail polish rather than glossy or gel as it aligns perfectly with the seasonal vibe of winter, which often leans toward deeper, earthy tones.

Product Suggestion: You can check out the On D Mauve shade from Colorbar’s Vegan Nail Lacquer collection.

4. Light Grays

Light gray is a modern neutral that pairs well with professional attire, offering an elegant touch without standing out too much. It’s a wonderful option for those who want a polished yet slightly edgier look. Choose a lighter, dove gray to keep the look subtle, as darker grays can be more attention-grabbing and might not suit the work environment.

Product Suggestion: You can check the Sky Line shade from Colorbar’s Vegan Nail Lacquer Collection.

5. Pale Peaches

A soft peach shade is perfect for adding a hint of warmth to your nails while maintaining the professional look. Pale peach tones provide a subtle, fresh look that’s both friendly and sophisticated. Look for pastel peach shades for the best effect. Avoid brighter peaches, which may be too bold for the office.

Product Suggestion: You can check out the Blushing Rose Pantone shade from Colorbar’s Luxe Nail Lacquer collection.

Conclusion

Along with their nail makeup collection, you can also browse through their face and eye makeup range.
