Take care of yourself

Hey loves, we all know that I am a huge self care advocate. I have been loving myself real bad and one way to do it was through AROMATHERAPY.

So today let’s talk about it.

I have been looking into different ways to relax myself. From crystal baths to bedtime yoga, I am all ears to try anything. I started to read more about the Chinese Self healing method and through my research on the matter, I found out about aromatherapy!

So what is aromatherapy?

It is basically a holistic practice that uses essential oils to improve your overall well being. It is something that can be use with other practices such as meditation or visualization.

Here are few ways to do/use it

Through a diffuser: it will disperse the essential oil in your space making it easy to inhale and practice some inhalation exercises.

Through topical use: putting essential oil into body oil for either your skincare or massages.

Through your bath: adding drops of essential oils into your bath creates an aroma therapeutic experience. This is a chef kiss experience trust me!

Through compress: you basically use warm or cold compress infused with essential oils to release pain or to relax.

Because i love you guys, here is a list of essential oils and their use:

Lavender: Calming, sleep aid, relieves anxiety.

Peppermint: Energizing, eases headaches, aids digestion.

Eucalyptus: Clears congestion, antimicrobial.

Tea Tree: Antiseptic, combats acne, supports immunity.

Chamomile: Reduces stress, promotes relaxation.

Lemon: Uplifting, cleansing, boosts focus.

But my personal favourite is vanilla, its warm scent uplifts your mood and has great comforting properties.

I hope you give aromatherapy a try and discover more way to love yourself! There is so many thing we can do to improve our selves and i just want to be the prettiest and healthiest version of myself and i can feel I’m aligning there.

On that note, let’s prepare for this week with a lot of peace in our heart!

Entering Your Winter Era: Academic Comeback & Pulling It Together Before 2025

Winter is the perfect time to reset and embrace a quiet glow-up as we close out the year. Think cozy mornings, introspective nights, and a clear plan for the future. Here’s your blueprint to stepping into your winter era and setting the tone for 2025.

1. Romanticize the Season:

Winter is a metaphor for starting fresh. Build an environment that inspires you:

• String up fairy lights.

• Add plush blankets and warm-toned candles to your study space.

• Invest in a neutral-toned sweater or knit scarf for that coastal granddaughter chic.

• Play instrumental playlists or soft lo-fi for focus.

2. Prioritize Your Academic Glow-Up:

It’s never too late to make a comeback. These steps will keep you on track:

• Audit your goals: What do you really need to accomplish? Break it into small, actionable steps.

• Start a study system: Color-coded notes, study timers, and a refreshed planner are your best friends.

• Master the art of reflection: Weekly review sessions to celebrate wins and tweak your plans are key.

3. Lean Into Structure (But Leave Room for Rest):

End-of-year fatigue is real, but so is your potential:

• Morning routine: Even if it’s just tea, journaling, and 15 minutes of reading, a slow start can anchor your day.

• Evening wind-down: Keep a bedtime ritual. Think skincare, stretching, or reading instead of doomscrolling.

• Plan with intention: Use the last month to reflect on this year’s lessons and build a vision for 2025.

4. Aesthetic Self-Care as Self-Discipline:

When you look good, you feel good—and winter calls for a polished touch:

• Swap messy buns for sleek low ponytails or braided styles.

• Opt for minimal makeup: tinted moisturizer, a touch of blush, and gloss.

• Drink your water (but in a cute glass).

5. Romanticize the Academic Hustle:

• Rewrite lecture notes in a clean aesthetic format (perfect for study montages).

• Take yourself to a café or library for study sessions.

• Celebrate small wins with winter treats (hot cocoa and baked goods, anyone?).

6. Visualize the Future You’re Building:

Take this season as a time to reflect and prepare. Journal about:

• What you want your 2025 to look like.

• Who you’re becoming and what you’re leaving behind.

• How you’ll carry the magic of your winter era into spring and beyond.

*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

so about a month ago, I looked around at my life and went "is this all there is?" and I am here to tell you that after signing up for tutoring adults in reading, applying for 821390 different jobs plus also working my internal contacts to get additional assignments, and heading into a second weekend of family togetherness---the answer is and always was no, I was just lonely and very, very dumb.

random Resident Lover head-canon: Mia keeps a list of other students, each with tally marks next to them. if questioned, she'll lie through her teeth about some nonsense (or just say "it's a secret ;)")

in reality, she's keeping a list of how many times each person has "killed" her (intentionally or accidentally) over the various loops/resets. not to, like, get revenge or anything. she's just curious to see who ends up with the most by the end of everything.

(Bela's in the lead, obviously. Angie has more than you'd expect but it's probably 100% accidents, either involving drunken sorority dares* or crazy driving) *I feel like if she got drunk enough, Mia might forget that there's a very specific reason why Angie manages to survive so much shit. and then she's like "yeah, if flower-head survived that jump, then I can totally do this parkour too"

hey did you guys know you can get a fucking yeast infection on your face? and they try to give it a fun name to hide that it’s a fucking yeast infection. and then you have to wash your face with head and shoulders and pretend like your shin is peeling off the bone.

Sunday Reset Routine

Resetting after a long week is a must! You must have a day where you can decompress it doesn’t have to be on Sunday but Sunday is usually the best day because it is the perfect way to start a new week relaxed and refreshed. Everyone has their form of resetting and some of you babes might not know where to start. So I’ll give you cute ideas below.

What to focus on this Sunday 

♡ Reflect on the past week it is good to journal how your week went the good things that happened, some stuff you might have accomplished, and the not so good things that happened so you know what to fix or look forward to the next week 

♡ Plan for the upcoming week I love planning I have an app that I use to plan my week it is called Structured. You can also buy a physical planner that helps and to make it fun you can use colored pens. It is better to stay ready and know what you have in store for yourself this upcoming week.

♡ Self care is my favorite part of resetting on Sundays self care looks different for everyone. Self care could be going to the spa, nail salon, full shower routine, skincare, cleaning your home, baking, sleeping, and there are many more different forms of self care.

♡ Relax and try your best to do low-stress tasks the point of resetting is relaxing and taking a seat. Llife is so demanding take this day to focus on your needs and if your need is to watch cartoons all day with a face mask on do that<3.

♡ Pamper yourself by reading a book, homemade facial, enjoying a spa day, and shopping for items on your wishlist. Pamper yourself you deserve it!

♡ Less screen time put down your phone for the day if you have friends who you text or call regularly let them know Sunday is your day to relax. Stay away from Instagram and other forms of social media.

♡ Organize your space take some time to get your space together. A clean space helps you focus. I have to work on my space this Sunday I've been slowly working on but I def need to sit and declutter.

Enjoy your Sunday babes!

I'm a dog until the day I die. My mouth covered by a cage, unable to bite or bark at the cruel hand that feeds me. I am a loyal servant to a devil in disguise and my loyalty is used to fill her own selfish desire to have you in her life, no matter how many tries it takes. I have never cared about my duties as the mutt that serves the priestess until you smiled at me and had that look in your eye...like I was never a monster, only a human being with feelings. Never cared until you ask about my interests. Never cared until you looked at me, like how you always looked at the others with that stupid twinkle in your eyes...that love.

It was very hard to narrow this down to only 11 opening songs and I know that I have missed many, many excellent ones.

Links, propaganda, and incoherent screaming are very welcome! I've added links to each of the songs in the reblog(s)
