10 Self-care Ideas to Start Your Day 🧖‍♀🫧🤍🪞🎀

Self care means tending to your own needs and well-being. While many definitions might overcomplicate it, at its core, self care involves prioritizing yourself. Often, we neglect self care due to various reasons, with the primary one being a lack of time set aside for ourselves.

Self care varies for each person. Some might thrive on waking up at dawn, while others prefer a leisurely morning with a good read.

Starting your day with a routine matters because it sets the tone for your entire day. It promotes better functioning, improves your mood, and enhances your productivity.

Early Rise: It might seem counterintuitive, but waking up early has its merits. Early mornings offer a calm start, allowing you to accomplish tasks before the bustle begins. Those extra minutes in bed can tempt you to linger, leading to skipped breakfast or rushed routines.

Additionally, early risers can avoid traffic and find peaceful study spots. For those working remotely, mornings often provide optimal focus due to fewer distractions. Gradually adjusting your wake-up time and syncing it with an earlier bedtime is key.

2. Stretch: Prioritize morning stretches in your self-care routine. After spending hours lying still, your body craves movement. Morning stretches invigorate you and prepare you for the day. If you're feeling adventurous, delve into morning yoga routines.

3. Hydration Boost: Begin your day by hydrating. Your body goes without water for hours while you sleep. Drinking water first thing in the morning can energize you and kickstart your body's systems. Keep a water bottle nearby for those early morning thirsts.

4. Quick Workout: Exercise reaps countless benefits. If you're working on integrating workouts, mornings are perfect. Knock out a workout at the start of your day and feel accomplished. Quick 5-minute workouts fit perfectly into a morning self-care routine.

5. Refreshing Shower: While some opt for cold showers, a gentle, refreshing shower can invigorate you. It's a simple self-care act that can awaken your senses, especially after a workout. After showering, attend to hygiene tasks like brushing teeth, washing your face, and styling your hair.

6. Clean Your Space: Making your bed might seem small, but it's an accomplishment that sets a positive tone. This act reduces stress, enhances organization, and contributes to a cleaner-looking room. It might even inspire you to organize more in your space.

7. To do List: Compile a short list of 2-3 tasks to tackle during the day. This simple practice enhances productivity and streamlines your day. A dedicated notepad is perfect for writing down your tasks.

8. Give Social Media a Break: For at least an hour after waking up, resist the urge to engage with social media. Keep your phone untouched, except for your alarm. This is a powerful addition to your morning self-care routine. By avoiding social media, you grant yourself uninterrupted time before getting caught up in everyone else's activities. Put your phone in a different room or let it charge until you've finished your breakfast or are ready to leave. This strategy keeps you focused and prevents mindless scrolling.

9. Listen to Motivational Content: If you're looking for an early morning boost, listen to motivational podcasts and videos. I've curated a playlist of such content for my daily morning self-care ritual. These motivational resources remind me of my capabilities and aspirations, making them particularly effective if words of affirmation resonate with you.

10. Enjoy a Nutritious Breakfast: A crucial part of morning self-care is having a healthy breakfast. Whether it's a simple smoothie or some toast, make sure to eat something. Remember, your body needs nourishment to power through the day ahead.

How do you establish and maintain a morning routine?

Start by outlining your desired activities for the morning. The night before, create a checklist of tasks. Once you have a clear plan, allocate time intervals for each activity, and adjust them to fit your schedule. Gradually build consistency and make these activities a habit. As you progress, feel free to modify your routine to better suit your needs and time constraints. And remember, make your morning self-care routine enjoyable; have fun with it!

last night a friend and i got really deep into the kiritetsu friendship and eventually spiralled into a lengthy conversation about tetsutetsu being not transgender, but the biggest ally in existence

started with "kirishima and tetsutetsu are similar, so theyre both transmen" then decided no, actually, tetsutetsu just had no idea that was a thing

convo highlights:

theyre gym bros. often sending each other post-pump day pics fresh out the shower (there might have been a mention about near- full bush in the pic. cannot confirm or deny)

the first time kiri sent a pic tetsutetsu thought the kt tape he uses to bind was from a very serious injury that kiri didn't tell him about. cue kiri mansplaining chest binding, what it means being a transman, and tetsutetsu's immediate 100% support

"super manly bro" "manly man!" ⬅️ live tetsutetsu reaction

more about being gym bros and the pics they send because theyre so fucking funny:

kiri is an avid leg day fan. tetsutetsu is not. multiple arguments here that is just gym bro mumbo jumbo to any unlucky eavesdropper

tetsu believes core should be given its own dedicated time slot at the gym. kiri has never once done core workouts on purpose and just loops core into his usual routine (and by letting his classmates rock his shit in training). more arguments ensue

their leg day pics to each other are either shorts pulled way too far up or just. butt naked in the gym. they dgaf. (there has been a number of occasions where they open the message and accidentally flash their friends. response is usually "but hes so built, what the hell !?")

😁👍💪🔥🏋️‼️ literally the only emojis seen in their texts

just. the idea they send each other the gayest possible videos. like those twitter dudebros trying to get thirst comments? thats them. except theyre so bro about it theres nothing gay about it

tetsutetsu's transgender learning experience:

kiri introduces the idea to him, explaining only the transmasculine side of things.

(curtains open) transfem monoma, everyone!

tetsutetsu asks people he knows if theyre trans (genuine curiosity. he thinks this trans shit is metal as hell) (literally everyone gets asked btw. no one is safe)

monoma beats him over the head when she says yes and his response is "thats so manly!" and once she (or probably kendou...) explains it to him: "that's so womanly!"

proceeds to say he thought she had a really intense chest routine and thats why her chest was so flat

tetsutetsu asks bakugou and promptly gets threatened in a back alley. tetsu says kiri told him transmasc is a thing, so now kiritetsu are getting threatened in a back alley. its a shared bro experience

after learning monomas transfem and shes not just like that, tetsutetsu fights for his life to not say "hey bro/dude/man!" when greeting her. it takes barely a day for her to get fed up with "hey lady!"

i could keep going, but this is already a wall of text on my laptop screen. i really just wanted to share all these so i can come back to them, cuz i was up until three am with a killer stomach ache from two half daquiris and baconator fries from wendys. i might have cried laughing at one point, not sure

[onmyyan]

Currently trying to overcome writer's block for this writing trade I'm doing so I had to go back to the delmonts and boy howdy- hear me out. I had the perfect idea for a shared! darling

Free use kink. Like, it's probably a lot of work to divvy out the times and the days that the boys would get with you. It's made even more complicated since I'm sure the boys would all agree that darling's wishes come first. So while they each have their days where they spend time with the reader doing cute domestic things or just fluffy content in general- the nsfw is a little more chaotic

It's really a- if darling lets you do it you can go for it. And if the darling has been raised around these boys their whole life and is, by now, used to all their affections and shenanigans just takes it all in stride. After all, these are very affectionate boys we're dealing with here.

Just imagine it, waking up and then heading to the bathroom to shower and then Ricky's sliding on in to have some fun before he has to get to work and get everything ready for the day. He grabs a coffee and dips after a small bout of affection, leaving reader to clean themselves again.

It's a bit of a lazy morning so aside from Cas cooking in the kitchen, no one's there. You go to help make breakfast and suddenly shorts are being pulled down and he's taking his darlin over the counter. Or, even better, you get to go on the ride of your life while he feeds you breakfast.

Cas then heads off to tend to the gardens and grocery shop, leaving you to hang with Gabe who's returning from a morning workout/run. Probably doesn't actually have to show up at the shop until there's something to fix so he plays some video games while you watch. You tell him all about how your morning has been and now he's feeling very left out and really needy. Just hoists you up and bounces you while he's playing. If this is a regular thing there's no real hesitation, just a sudden tug and bam.

Groans when Ricky texts him, leaving you a mess in the living room before he heads off, though he's always certain to give you a smooch goodbye. Will carry you to your room if you ask.

The twins are probably the last to wake, stirring sometime in the afternoon due to whatever it is those two get up to late at night. Partying, murder, arson, idk. They don't even have to ask- they know just from looking at their darling about what's happened. Clearly, they've been cheated of a very happy morning.

But you certainly want to make it up to them right?? It's only fair!

Getting sandwiched between the twins for the next few hours might not have been what you had planned, but it's not unwelcome. The two of them take turns and behave if just to spare you the extra exhaustion of having to juggle between the two of them. Once they're finished they cuddle up to you and take care of your every need till they get called away to the shop or until their other plans come up.

I dunno how you feel about it, but I don't find the mental image of the reader being all surrounded in the conversation pit by the brothers to be an awful sight. Just imagine, it's a real real busy day. Cas has breakfast wrapped and on the table for you. Little snacks and treats from the twins scattered everywhere for you. A note from Ricky explaining and apologizing that the boys couldn't be there to wake you up. Gabe grumpy because he's too busy to even leave a message or thing behind like the rest of the brothers. Yeah, he's that busy.

You just chill in the house for the whole day, watching tv or reading or playing games. Whatever burns the time and keeps your attention. Then all the boys come home very apologetic and very needy. They want to make it up to you and before you know it every facet of you is being used one way or another. Barely any space or time to think, just, all you can do is focus on what they're giving you and taking it in all in stride- metaphorically and phyically.

God. And if darling really wanted to try their luck or maybe its been one too many days of this treatment and they've become very well trained they just go around bottomless. Makes it all easier that way. It also serves as the biggest "take me now" sign. Darling at that point WILL be grabbed and will be thoroughly ravished.

Thank you for listening to my TedTalk and now having finished this, my writer's block is over and I will disappear to try and finish this piece I'm working on lol no more procrastinating!!

the bark that left me at this was....something lmfao

but fr this is so tasty??? and also super likely in the shared darling universe, omfg there's nowhere in that house you haven't had your guts rearranged in.

naruto character social media headcanons:

naruto: sakura made him a personal instagram account 3 years ago and he legitimately has opened it exactly twice (both times because sakura was asking him to pull something up). its just really not for him. honestly though that being said i feel like you could get him to be a vine creator you KNOWWWW he's abusing his shadow clone ability for this

sasuke: lets be so honest hes not touching any of that with a 50 foot pole, ever. NEXT!

sakura: definitely has a personal instagram, could also see her having a fitness instagram as well. given shes also canonically a fujoshi lets be so honest she has an ao3 and probably a fandom twitter account for liking/rting fanart as well

sai: also does not get the appeal at first. i think sakura made a valiant attempt to convince him to make an instagram account for his art but this does not pan out. it is only when ino shows him twitter's incredible versatility for haters that he understands what the hype is all about.

yamato: my immediate instinct would be to say no probably not HOWEVER i think it would be really funny if he was incredibly active on r/architecture and literally nothing else

kakashi: for the most part a hard no. however i do believe he is casually active on an incredibly obscure forum for the icha icha series. at some point naruto or sakura accidentally see that he has it pulled up on his phone and spend a solid like week hunting down his account and reading through and making fun of all of his posts. he does not know this happened

guy: honestly i think he has a facebook account that is exclusively used to find and post boomer style workout memes and positivity posts. he sends an egregious amount of the aforementioned workout memes to kakashi and lee (enthusiasm of the receivers is about what you can probably expect)

neji: decidedly proclaims social media to be a cesspool and a waste of time, does not partake. he does, however, have a meticulously upkept letterboxd account with extensive and incredibly thorough reviews of everything he's ever watched. (i believe weekly team guy movie nights can be very frustrating for him personally because neji as a person prefers films that are very introspective/character driven/abstract but the rest of his teammates more than anything are interested in watching a bunch of guys beat the living snot out of each other)

tenten: she's got an instagram where she posts short clips of training using her vast arsenal of weapons - lee and neji are frequent guest appearances as sparring partners. i also could see her having a tumblr or some sort of blog to geek out over the latest thing she's picked up

lee: i think he has facebook and instagram but purely to very enthusiastically comment on guy and tenten's posts. otherwise its really not his thing

ino: YOU KNOWWWWWWWWW SHES GOT IT ALL. tiktok instagram twitter triple threat she's definitely an influencer she's big in the makeup scene but also has huge kpop side accounts. shes definitely always getting into drama but always comes out on top in the end - a bit of a controversial figure but overall has a frankly militant fanbase. always up to date on the latest idol drama and you KNOW she'll be posting about it. also has a defunct tumblr account that which was definitely an obscenely popular aesthetics blog back in the site's heyday, but in modern times has since moved her collage boards to pinterest

choji: you know this i know this we all know this HES A FOOD BLOGGER!!!!!!!! in this world blogspot is still alive and well and hes making a killing on there. i think he would also have a tiktok account though for short review videos usually featuring his friends where they go to taste test new restaurants/dishes. i think he also has a personal instagram account just for posting friend photos and whatnot

shikamaru: very casual reddit scroller, when hes bored he'll trawl through a few political subreddits and perhaps r/shogi. never posts and has accounts on basically nothing.

hinata: type of person to HAAAAATE online drama so bad it makes her sick with stress just thinking about it. if she uses social media at all i think she has a diligently kept aesthetic tumblr blog where she posts photos and doesnt interact with anybody ever

hidan: active 4chan user.

jiraiya: its like if you took a facebook-exclusive boomer and dropped him into twitter without warning. his account was supposed to exclusively be his platform for his writing but he gave up that pretense a long time ago and now its basically just whatever he wants to put on there. we all already know what this looks like

orochimaru: saw suigetsu scrolling on twitter once and got an extensive rundown on how it works and the kind of people that frequent it. finds it fascinating in the way that one might study bacteria in a petri dish cultivated in toxic sludge, but thats about the extent of it. boruto-era however he is an active nextdoor and facebook user and exclusively posts wine mom memes

tsunade: has an official account as the hokage but its entirely run by shizune. honestly i dont think she would find much interest or enjoyment in anything social media has to offer her

suigetsu: you already know hes posting bad tiktok thirst traps. theyre really terrible . absolutely lives for kicking up drama in people's comment sections and runs an incredibly popular twitter ragebait account with more passion than hes put into anything else in his life ever

National Legwear Day

National Legwear Day, which falls on September 22 each year, is a celebration of everything worn on our legs, including leggings, socks, tights, anklets, sheers, and more. In an age when people are looking for different ways to show off their personalities, legwear in all its different forms, shapes, and colors, has become a unique form of self-expression. Legwear is now a trending topic on the pop culture side too, and cool new bottom wear has regularly been featured across some top fashion magazines worldwide. These pieces of clothing are so popular that there’s even another international holiday for one of them — International Legging Day on October 18. This year, be sure to put on your best looks and strut your legwear in honor of this day.

History of National Legwear Day

We suppose clothes worn on the legs evolved alongside people’s need to cover themselves with more than leaves. There are certainly enough signs to indicate ancient civilizations — and maybe even people living before them — have worn some kind of cloth to protect their legs. 1700-year-old socks were found among the remains at an excavated Egyptian site. Leggings were men’s armor accessories in the 14th century.

At times, legwear was a status symbol. Around 1000 B.C., nobles and kings proudly sported knee-high stockings as a way to show off their wealth and social standing. Of course, most of these were made of the best, silkiest material there was. Giving people socks (or a legwear variation thereof) was a very welcome — and generous — gift in those times. Until the 19th century, wearing legwear — at least the publicly visible variations like the leggings — was limited to the male population of the world. Soldiers would wear leggings as a form of protection, using them to prevent dirt, sand, mud, and insects from getting to their lower legs.

Women’s lib and the silver screen idols rocking legwear really set the fashion world on fire. Suddenly, wearing pants, tights, leggings, and other legwear was the coolest trend of all. This popularity hit the stratosphere when the original fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn, wore Capri pants for her 1954 feature film “Sabrina.” By the 1960s, legwear, and especially leggings, were considered a female accessory. Lycra (or spandex, if you will), was a brand-new invention, Olivia Newton-John famously wore leggings in “Grease” (1978), and the 1980s brought crazy inventions to legwear that we still can’t forget.

As with most fashion trends, the old craze with legwear came back with a vengeance, especially because of 21st-century fashion icons and models, who made wearing non-traditional legwear a style statement. Today, seeing eye-catching colors, patterns, and shapes on legwear is nothing new, and most people wholeheartedly embrace this style. Among working men, it has become fashionable to wear funny, funky socks with their suits. To encourage more people to take up wearing fun legwear their way, American legwear manufacturer HanesBrands founded National Legwear Day in 2017.

National Legwear Day FAQs

What hosiery means?

Hosiery, sometimes called legwear, is any garment directly worn on the legs and feet, like socks, hose, leggings, tights, etc.

Where does the word hosiery come from?

The word ‘hosiery’ comes from ‘hosen,’ which means ‘covering.’ This is because these types of garments were initially used to cover (aka protect) the legs.

Are stockings socks?

Stockings are not socks, given that they are usually thinner and stretchier than the socks. Stockings typically come in nylon, rayon, or silk material.

National Legwear Day Activities

Let your legs shineStrut your stuff in the best, coolest, and jazziest pair of legwear you own. Wear quirky socks, a statement anklet, or even your coolest leggings to add some pop to any outfit.

Get everyone involvedBe sure to share your look with the world, and encourage others to celebrate their legwear too. You can ask coworkers and friends to coordinate their wardrobe with you, especially for this day. Make it a competition with legwear as a prize.

Explore the world of legwearAlways wanted to wear those printed leggings but didn't have the courage? This day is your day — go ahead and try out the legwear you'd always wanted to wear but didn't.

5 Fun Facts About Legwear

The oldest socks had split toes: Evidence at the site of ancient Greek colonies shows socks worn in that period were likely paired with sandals — the common footwear favored in that time.

Pantyhose were first called 'Panti-Legs': In 1959, Allen Gant Sr. developed his wife's prototype into the world's first commercial pantyhose, then called 'Panti-Legs,' which became immensely popular in the 60s'.

Foot cloths are better than stockings: Russian military personnel preferred a foot cloth called 'portyanki' — which they wore until 2013.

China's sock production: Datang in Zhuji, in the Zhejiang Province of China, is a famous global sock producer, with nearly one-third of the world's socks coming from this district.

One for each leg: Way back when leggings were almost exclusively associated with the male population, this legwear was actually two separate garments — one for each leg.

Why We Love National Legwear Day

Leg-wear in style: It's comfortable, stylish, and can be paired with pretty much anything. Everyone from models to influencers endorses this garment, and we think this old style is here to stay. Socks, tights, leggings, and other garments can be bright and colorful or sedate and subtle, depending on the occasion and our mood.

Legwear is for everyone: Who says color and style have to be limited to only one gender? Men, children, and others can easily slip into legwear for an explosion and expression of style.

It completes our appearance: A pair of leggings under short skirts. Tights under a dress or trousers. Socks for every occasion. Legwear is not only stylish, but highly functional too, and gives a modern, polished appearance.

What is Digital Marketing? Types, Examples, Benefits and Strategies

1. Introduction to Digital Marketing

 1.1. Definition and Importance 

Digital marketing refers to any form of marketing that takes place online. It’s all about connecting brands with their audience through various digital channels. The importance of digital marketing lies in its ability to reach a global audience, offer personalized content, and engage customers in real time.

 In today's fast-paced world, most consumers search for products online before deciding. If businesses want to thrive, they need to be where their customers are—on the internet.

 1.2. Evolution of Marketing in the Digital Age

The marketing landscape has shifted dramatically over the last couple of decades. Remember when businesses relied heavily on print ads or billboards? Now, a memorable social media post or a viral blog can make all the difference. The evolution of digital marketing has not only broadened the reach but also allowed for a more strategic approach.

With advancements in technology and changing consumer behaviors, digital marketing has become more sophisticated. Today, tools like artificial intelligence and big data analytics help businesses tailor their strategies to meet specific audience needs.

 1.3. Key Differences Between Traditional and Digital Marketing

The primary differences between traditional and digital marketing include:

Reach and Audience Targeting: Traditional marketing often reaches a broad audience without the ability to target specific demographics. Digital marketing can target specific groups based on interests, location, and behavior.

Cost Considerations: Traditional media can be expensive, whereas digital marketing often provides cost-effective options.

Interactivity: Digital marketing allows businesses to engage with their audience in real-time through comments, likes, and shares, unlike traditional media which is predominantly one-sided.

Analytics and Data: Digital marketing provides measurable results, enabling businesses to analyze performance and adjust strategies accordingly.

2. Types of Digital Marketing

 2.1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is the process of optimizing your website so that it ranks higher in search engine results. Businesses can enhance visibility and attract organic traffic by improving relevant keywords, site speed, and content quality. For example, a local bakery can utilize SEO to appear in search results when someone types in “best bakery near me”.

 2.2. Content Marketing

Content marketing involves creating and sharing valuable content to attract and engage a target audience. This could include blog posts, videos, infographics, and podcasts. For instance, a fitness brand might create a series of workout videos that not only promote their products but also provide useful information to potential customers.

 2.3. Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is all about using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to promote products or services. It's a great way for brands to connect with customers, share content, and build community. Think about how many times you've engaged with a brand’s post or shared a fun story—it’s this kind of interaction that drives loyalty.

 2.4. Email marketing 

Email marketing involves sending targeted messages directly to your audience’s inbox. It's an effective way to inform customers about promotions, share valuable content, or provide personalized recommendations. A great approach is creating a monthly newsletter that highlights new products, tips, and success stories.

 2.5. Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)

PPC is an internet advertising model where advertisers pay a fee each time their ad is clicked. This is largely associated with search engines like Google. When used effectively, it can drive significant traffic to a website within a short time frame. For example, a local bookshop could run a PPC campaign to highlight a weekend sale and attract customers to their site.

 2.6. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing involves partnering with influencers or other businesses to promote your products. You pay a commission for each sale made through the affiliate's links. This model can work wonders—it's like having a sales force that operates on commission.

3. Examples of Digital Marketing in Action

 3.1Action 

  3.1. Case Studies: Successful SEO Campaigns

Businesses often share their success stories regarding SEO campaigns. Take, for example, a small e-commerce site that revamped its blog content and optimized its product descriptions. Over six months, they saw a 200% increase in organic search traffic, leading to a substantial boost in sales.

 3.2. Content Marketing Examples Across Industries

Content marketing shines in various industries. For instance, a travel company may produce engaging travel guides and customer stories to inspire wanderlust. Stories that connect emotionally often garner attention and encourage shares.

 3.3. Social Media Campaigns That Made a Difference

A memorable social media campaign might involve a brand encouraging customers to share their experiences using a specific hashtag. For example, Coca-Cola’s “Share a Coke” campaign successfully encouraged people to post pictures with customized Coke bottles, leading to massive engagement and brand visibility.

4. Benefits of Digital Marketing

 4.1. Increased Reach and Engagement

One of the most significant advantages of digital marketing is the ability to reach a larger audience. With the Internet, businesses can connect with potential customers globally, making engagement easier and more meaningful.

 4.2. Cost-Effectiveness and Flexibility Digital marketing usually costs less than traditional marketing methods, and businesses can adjust their campaigns quickly based on performance. This flexibility allows smarter spending and maximizes impact.

 4.3. Measurable Results and Analytics

With digital marketing, businesses can track the success of their campaigns in real-time. Using tools like Google Analytics or social media insights helps understand what works and what doesn’t, promoting continuous improvement.

5. Effective Digital Marketing Strategies

 5.1. Developing a Clear Digital Marketing Plan

Creating a digital marketing plan involves outlining your goals, understanding your audience, and selecting the right channels to reach them. A structured approach helps keep efforts focused and aligned.

 5.2. Leveraging Data Analytics for Decision-Making

Data analytics is a powerful tool. By analyzing customer behavior and preferences, businesses can tailor their marketing strategies to better meet their audience’s needs.

 5.3. Continuous Learning and Adaptation The digital landscape evolves rapidly. Businesses must stay informed about new tools, tactics, and platforms to remain competitive. Regularly participating in webinars or online courses can keep your skills sharp.

Conclusion Summary of Key Points 

Digital marketing opens up a world of opportunities for businesses of all sizes. From SEO to social media marketing, each type offers unique benefits and strategies to reach potential customers effectively.

The Future of Digital Marketing

As technology continues to evolve, the future of digital marketing will bring even more exciting possibilities. Virtual reality, voice search, and AI will shape how businesses interact with their customers.

Letter to Sharon 8/6/24

Thank you for your lovely letter, the blue theme you selected was beautiful. Lately I've been obsessed with earthly tones, like blues, greens, and browns. I know that the earth holds many more colors, but these colors remind me of water, dirt, and trees.

I've been longing for days spent within nature. But my world is too hot at the moment. I am ready for autumn to arrive, to go on a hike again. I told my husband, George, that I desire to feel the earth beneath my feet. I might walk the next hike barefoot; a friend said my feet would get callused, I said ' I don't care." I could always schedule a pedicure.

I've been also dreaming of the sea. I had a dream the other night that I fell into a flooded path while hiking. When I managed to get out, I noticed a starfish attached to me, I was confused because I knew it didn't belong there. I spent the rest of my dream trying to find my way to the beach to return the creature back to its habitat. I woke up before I made it there. Do you like the beach? I'm hoping George and I can plan a trip to the beach before summer ends.

I've been doing much better mentally; the anxiety is pretty much nonexistent. I stopped going to therapy and no longer on anti-depressants. I've been enjoying my life again, which is nice to think about. No more paralyzing fear. The change of pace of my new job really helped me out. I get to bring my hobbies to work to pass the time when it's not so busy.

I agree, skiing is most definitely exhausting. I made a mental note to physically prepare for the next trip. I see dumbbell workout YouTube videos in my future.

Congratulations to Josh for finding a job! I understand the chaos of planning something when work schedules/ limits get in the way. My work schedule is not consistent, I definitely had to adapt to this irregularity.

What do you love about weddings? You're the second person to tell me that this year. The statement intrigues me because I cannot relate.

I've heard Les Miserables is a good musical many times before but have never given it a chance. I might watch the film to see what the hype is about.

My husband also loves sushi, he has it once a week. But like you, I can only have it every so often to truly savor it.

To answer your questions:

i. my favorite memory from April was going to a Safari and feeding the giraffes

ii. my favorite outfit lately has been athletic shorts and a t-shirt for comfort.

iii. First friend I made at my new job? well, I work alone in the lab, but nurses occasionally come in and I'll talk to them briefly. They've all been kind, but I don't know if we know each other well enough to call ourselves friends.

iv. I did not have any resolutions this year. Congratulations in staying hydrated though! Today I got to see a kidney stone that a patient passed in their urine, a gnarly reminder to stay hydrated.

That is all for now, sending you and your family my love,

💚

Suriya and Jyotika's Inspiring Couple Workout Sparks Fitness Frenzy

Suriya and Jyotika, the power couple of the South Indian film industry, have once again set social media ablaze, but this time not with their on-screen chemistry or off-screen romance. Instead, it's their shared dedication to fitness that's garnering attention, leaving fans in awe and inspired to hit the gym.

In a viral video circulating on various platforms, the couple can be seen sweating it out together, engaging in rigorous workout routines. While Suriya's commitment to fitness is well-known, what truly surprised fans was Jyotika's impressive display of strength and endurance.

Amidst recent rumors suggesting trouble in paradise for the couple, with speculations of a divorce looming large, this video comes as a refreshing reassurance of their strong bond and mutual support for each other. Jyotika's relocation to Mumbai was cited as fuel for these rumors, but her recent Instagram post showcasing their workout camaraderie speaks volumes about the solidarity between them.

Suriya's fitness journey dates back to his remarkable physical transformation for the movie Vaaranam Aayiram in 2008, establishing him as a fitness icon in the industry. However, it's Jyotika's dedication to her fitness regimen that stole the spotlight in this video, portraying her as an equal partner in their quest for a healthy lifestyle.

In a recent interview addressing the divorce rumors, Jyotika clarified that her move to Mumbai was solely driven by work commitments and emphasized her husband's unwavering support for her career choices. She expressed gratitude for Suriya's encouragement and prioritization of their family's well-being, showcasing the depth of their relationship beyond the glitz and glamour of showbiz.

Jyotika's career resurgence, often termed as her 'second innings,' has been nothing short of remarkable. After a hiatus following her marriage to Suriya in 2006, she made a powerful comeback with 36 Vayathinile in 2015 and has since been delivering stellar performances, earning critical acclaim for her diverse roles.

Collaborations with industry stalwarts like Mammootty in Kathaal: The Core and projects alongside Madhavan and Ajay Devgn in Shaitaan have further solidified her position as a versatile actor with a penchant for challenging roles. With promising projects like Srikanth and DabbaCartle in her pipeline, Jyotika's career trajectory seems to be on an upward trajectory.

Meanwhile, Suriya has been busy promoting his upcoming venture, Kanguva, targeting the North Indian market. The film, backed by Studio Green, is poised to make waves with its multilingual release strategy, showcasing Suriya's pan-Indian appeal. Additionally, his collaboration with director Karthik Subbaraj for Suriya 44 has already generated considerable buzz, hinting at yet another exciting chapter in his illustrious career.

As fans eagerly anticipate their favorite couple's upcoming projects, Suriya and Jyotika continue to inspire millions with their commitment to fitness, resilience in the face of adversity, and unwavering support for each other's professional endeavors. Truly, they are the epitome of 'fitness goals' and relationship goals rolled into one!

so i definitely have had some weird body image issues these past few days which are an issue, but they have made me realize im incredibly out of shape, and not in a "blug im so fat" way but in a "i cant run for more then 10 seconds without feeling like im dying". so while the body image issues are obviously bad, it has pushed me to start moving more, so i dont lose mobility as i age. simple stuff, like a light jog around a short loop, and going up and down the stairs 5 times each time i need to use them. shocking the way i get out of breath so fast on our really short stairway! going up 3 times in a row is enough to make me pant and my legs to feel wobbly. but its also a really simple exercise that'll be good for my knees, and its an easy to remember number

i still need to like, figure out my body image problem and unlearn whatever stupid lil nugget was in there fucking me up, but hopefully something good comes out of it (a light workout routine that doesnt bore me and leads to my body feeling better, and an easier sleep schedule because im actually tired at bedtime)

my cardio is for real so garbage because my two big hobbies are video games and tatting, both of which are just minor hand movements skskdjsk. i bet i get really strong cool thighs out of this tho, if i keep it up

Good morning everyone,

First, update on my mom, she spent another night at the hospital, and after speaking with her this morning, turns out the doctors are saying she should stay, a large part being because of what I pointed out the other day in regards to Uber & Lyft not having proper vehicles to use for contracted hospital transport to and from people's homes. She is eating, and had a physical therapist see her, and I believe she will still get her scheduled radiation therapy treatments. We are raising money to cover these medical expenses, for more details, visit: https://gofund.me/6adf8354

In terms of how I'm handling things... its... worrisome on so many levels, but I kept getting the impression people are just waiting for me to snap. I know my father doesn't want to hear me vent, he made that particularly clear a few days ago. I know internalizing it is 'bad', but one has to keep up a strong front right? I don't really have a choice, I either step up or crash and burn. Too bad everything I've been trying to do has been a utter failure.

Sorry...

As for last night's stream, we played Final Fantasy XIV, and I was happily surprised to find the next two installments of the Endwalker Hildibrand story arc involving aliens, bunnies and a tabloid reporter. We also finally accessed the Moogle Tribe Quests, and got Carpentry up to level 51. Did a couple of raids, and basically got my face stomped in... I really hate the NieR inspired raids... I truly do Still we had fun.

For the raid we dropped in on PrincessPashley as they were playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt over on twitch.tv/PrincessPashley!  The Witcher 3 is a game that is on my list of things to eventually play.

Stream Clip Links

Let it be a dance sequence!

Dancing Bunnies On The Moon

I think he went down easily

Got only a little bit of writing done on the Mass Effect short story commission, as I was distracted with checking in on mom, so I didn't feel like writing too much during the afternoon. I hope to finish it today, then get started on the next commission short story which is based on WWE.

Recorded a new Tier List making video for my YouTube channel, this time focused on 80s movies. It ended up being an hour long based on trying to justify where I placed each film. Doing it did bring back to my mind the disappointment that was Kingdom Hearts III in regards to its World selection, since I did give The Great Mouse Detective and The Black Cauldron fairly high ranks.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Hook Combo #1, Weaving Combo #2 and Waist Shape Focus Combo for 28 minutes.

I still remember the last thing my grandfather said before kicking the bucket: "Hey, you want to see how far I can kick this bucket?"

Song of the Day:  Centuries by Fall Out Boy.

For tonight's stream, the plan is to play Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, continuing the story mode from the Persona 4 cast perspective with maybe an arcade run or two as well.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

National Legwear Day

National Legwear Day, which falls on September 22 each year, is a celebration of everything worn on our legs, including leggings, socks, tights, anklets, sheers, and more. In an age when people are looking for different ways to show off their personalities, legwear in all its different forms, shapes, and colors, has become a unique form of self-expression. Legwear is now a trending topic on the pop culture side too, and cool new bottom wear has regularly been featured across some top fashion magazines worldwide. These pieces of clothing are so popular that there’s even another international holiday for one of them — International Legging Day on October 18. This year, be sure to put on your best looks and strut your legwear in honor of this day.

History of National Legwear Day

We suppose clothes worn on the legs evolved alongside people’s need to cover themselves with more than leaves. There are certainly enough signs to indicate ancient civilizations — and maybe even people living before them — have worn some kind of cloth to protect their legs. 1700-year-old socks were found among the remains at an excavated Egyptian site. Leggings were men’s armor accessories in the 14th century.

At times, legwear was a status symbol. Around 1000 B.C., nobles and kings proudly sported knee-high stockings as a way to show off their wealth and social standing. Of course, most of these were made of the best, silkiest material there was. Giving people socks (or a legwear variation thereof) was a very welcome — and generous — gift in those times. Until the 19th century, wearing legwear — at least the publicly visible variations like the leggings — was limited to the male population of the world. Soldiers would wear leggings as a form of protection, using them to prevent dirt, sand, mud, and insects from getting to their lower legs.

Women’s lib and the silver screen idols rocking legwear really set the fashion world on fire. Suddenly, wearing pants, tights, leggings, and other legwear was the coolest trend of all. This popularity hit the stratosphere when the original fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn, wore Capri pants for her 1954 feature film “Sabrina.” By the 1960s, legwear, and especially leggings, were considered a female accessory. Lycra (or spandex, if you will), was a brand-new invention, Olivia Newton-John famously wore leggings in “Grease” (1978), and the 1980s brought crazy inventions to legwear that we still can’t forget.

As with most fashion trends, the old craze with legwear came back with a vengeance, especially because of 21st-century fashion icons and models, who made wearing non-traditional legwear a style statement. Today, seeing eye-catching colors, patterns, and shapes on legwear is nothing new, and most people wholeheartedly embrace this style. Among working men, it has become fashionable to wear funny, funky socks with their suits. To encourage more people to take up wearing fun legwear their way, American legwear manufacturer HanesBrands founded National Legwear Day in 2017.

National Legwear Day timeline

A Royal Affair

The Queen of England gets her first pair of stockings as a Christmas gift from her silk woman; she becomes well-known for her eventual fondness for this type of undergarment.

September 1, 1939 — September 2, 1945

'Legs' in the Army

U.S. soldiers have Army leggings as a part of their uniform, which are called 'legs' by other army men not required to wear this garment, like the Air Force guys, etc.

August 1945 — March 1946

A Stocking Demand

Demand for nylon stocking is so high — and the post-war supplies so limited — that crowds of women battle to get their hands on just one pair.

1980s

Sporty Leggings are Here

Jane Fonda's workout videos introduce everyone to a sporty version of leggings and leg warmers.

National Legwear Day FAQs

What hosiery means?

Hosiery, sometimes called legwear, is any garment directly worn on the legs and feet, like socks, hose, leggings, tights, etc.

Where does the word hosiery come from?

The word ‘hosiery’ comes from ‘hosen,’ which means ‘covering.’ This is because these types of garments were initially used to cover (aka protect) the legs.

Are stockings socks?

Stockings are not socks, given that they are usually thinner and stretchier than the socks. Stockings typically come in nylon, rayon, or silk material.

National Legwear Day Activities

Let your legs shineStrut your stuff in the best, coolest, and jazziest pair of legwear you own. Wear quirky socks, a statement anklet, or even your coolest leggings to add some pop to any outfit.

Get everyone involvedBe sure to share your look with the world, and encourage others to celebrate their legwear too. You can ask coworkers and friends to coordinate their wardrobe with you, especially for this day. Make it a competition with legwear as a prize.

Explore the world of legwearAlways wanted to wear those printed leggings but didn't have the courage? This day is your day — go ahead and try out the legwear you'd always wanted to wear but didn't.

5 Fun Facts About Legwear

The oldest socks had split toes: Evidence at the site of ancient Greek colonies shows socks worn in that period were likely paired with sandals — the common footwear favored in that time.

Pantyhose were first called 'Panti-Legs': In 1959, Allen Gant Sr. developed his wife's prototype into the world's first commercial pantyhose, then called 'Panti-Legs,' which became immensely popular in the 60s'.

Foot cloths are better than stockings: Russian military personnel preferred a foot cloth called 'portyanki' — which they wore until 2013.

China's sock production: Datang in Zhuji, in the Zhejiang Province of China, is a famous global sock producer, with nearly one-third of the world's socks coming from this district.

One for each leg: Way back when leggings were almost exclusively associated with the male population, this legwear was actually two separate garments — one for each leg.

Why We Love National Legwear Day

Leg-wear in style: It's comfortable, stylish, and can be paired with pretty much anything. Everyone from models to influencers endorses this garment, and we think this old style is here to stay. Socks, tights, leggings, and other garments can be bright and colorful or sedate and subtle, depending on the occasion and our mood.

Legwear is for everyone: Who says color and style have to be limited to only one gender? Men, children, and others can easily slip into legwear for an explosion and expression of style.

It completes our appearance: A pair of leggings under short skirts. Tights under a dress or trousers. Socks for every occasion. Legwear is not only stylish, but highly functional too, and gives a modern, polished appearance.
