if you can't get rid of it, you might as well romanticise it, right?
lying awake on hot summer nights and listening to a sad girl playlist
sitting by the ocean or lake while looking melancholic
collecting sea shells and other little trinkets to look at
reading ancient philosophy and russian literature in public
strolling around your neighbourhood and befriending stray cats
eating way too much fruit
thinking about the fig tree
watching the moon and staying up until sunrise
mourning your non-existent summer romance
wired headphones
getting really good at making iced coffees
watching sad summer movies
writing poetry on postcards that you will never send
taking lots of Polaroids of mundane things
crying
I myself have been dealing with what I like to call "the summer blues" so I felt like writing something like this, I hope it resonates with some of you!! As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3

My Gut Health Routine That Doesn’t Involve Kimchi
by Soleau Club
I love a good wellness trend. But some of these gut health girlies are out here raw-dogging kimchi at 8AM and acting like it’s normal.
I tried. I really did. But fermented cabbage just doesn’t spark joy.
So I made it my mission to build a gut routine that actually feels cute, works without trauma, and keeps me bloat-free in bikinis without sacrificing taste buds or sanity.
Welcome to Gut Health for Hot Girls—the kimchi-free edition.
Yes, I still do the hot lemon water thing—but I leveled it up with:
A pinch of pink Himalayan salt for minerals
A splash of aloe juice (I swear by it for digestion)
Sometimes a dash of apple cider vinegar, if I’m feeling brave
It’s like a gentle internal shower that whispers, “Let’s digest things like European girls do.”
No weird fermented jars here. I keep it cute and easy with:
A non-dairy probiotic capsule (look for one with at least 20B CFUs)
Or a shot of coconut water kefir (mild, sweet, and gut-loving)
Bonus points: I store my probiotics next to my skincare so I never forget. Pretty girl digestion > chaos digestion.
Here’s the tea no one tells you: your gut is deeply petty and reacts to your stress like a dramatic ex. If you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or doomscrolling on an empty stomach—your gut feels it.
So every day, I do one of these:
A quick 5-minute breathwork sesh
EFT tapping (don’t knock it till you try it)
Journaling out stress before meals so I don’t eat in panic mode
These are my go-to de-bloat queens:
Ginger tea (warm, comforting, helps everything move)
Peppermint capsules (miracle for gas + indigestion)
Magnesium citrate at night for gentle “movement” if ya know what I mean
Also… I eat pineapple almost daily because it’s cute and has enzymes. Functional ✨and✨ flirty.
Instead of obsessing over food rules, I follow the “Hot Girl Plate” formula:
Protein (for blood sugar + metabolism)
Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, seeds)
Fiber-rich carbs (veggies, fruit, sweet potato, or a little sourdough)
No side of shame included
This keeps me full, satisfied, and not bloated like a deflated pool float.
I don’t chug ice water with meals (bad for digestion, sorry)
I don’t snack 24/7 (I give my gut breaks to digest like the boss she is)
I don’t take random supplements I saw on TikTok (unless I’ve researched the heck out of them)
And no—still no kimchi. Not even a cute pickled radish.
Gut health doesn’t have to feel gross, overwhelming, or smell like a fermented nightmare.
It can be:
chic,
intuitive,
and a little luxurious.
All it takes is the right ritual and a few ride-or-die habits that work for you. So ditch the shame, keep the glow, and listen to your body (not just your For You Page).
Because a happy gut = a hot girl.

hi angels! it’s finally here… SPRING!! my most favourite season, the suns slowly emerging out the sky, blossoms forming and the days are feeling slowly but surely longer. winter always sticks around just that bit tooooo long for me so to keep my mood and energy up here’s a little guide to romanticising spring now that it’s finally arrived!
wear colours. fill your wardrobe with colours, wear a floral pattern or a brightly coloured pair of socks, be the colour that’s slowly beginning to emerge back into the world.
make a spring playlist and listen to it every morning while you get ready for the day.
try out a lighter, spring like perfume. my favourite at the moment is a beautiful vanilla scent.
eat fresh fruits and vegetables. as more come back into season, fill your plate with colour and abundance. feed your soul, stomach and eyes!
spend time outdoors every day. make it a non negotiable for yourself that you spend time outside, even if it’s only a few minutes, get sun and fresh air on your skin.
make a pinterest board full of outfits, activities, food and anything that encapsulates spring for you.
go through your belongings and donate any you don’t need to charity, spread some kindness and give back to your community.
host a picnic with friends, family or yourself! make lavender lemonade or another floral drink, bake a cake (however messy it turns out) and find a beautiful spot.
read poetry that reminds you of spring, i love mary oliver for this time of year!
find beautiful leaves and petals and press them dry to have as keepsakes.
spend too long making an elaborate drink for yourself. my spring favourite has to be an iced raspberry matcha - tart and pretty.
find a softer, spring makeup routine. think lots of blush and pale eyeshadows for a delicate, floral look.
make your own herbal teas - my favourite recipe is 1tsp each of chamomile, jasmine, dandelion root and peppermint!
wake up to watch the sunrise, open your windows wide, breathe in the cool morning air and calm your mind and body with some light yoga or meditation. let yourself be in the moment.
try some spring journal prompts (will have a post on this coming soon) in a cute journal.
switch oatmeal bowls out for yogurt bowls (my current obsession).
surround yourself with spring media, watch spring films and listen to spring music and read spring books.
go on a cute solo date - i love going to a cafe to read but you could do so many things, go pottery painting or on a walk or to the cinema!
have a deep and thorough spring clean, clear out your space and prepare for a new season.
make a spring bucket list (would be happy to share mine if you’re interested!).
thank you for reading angels! have the most magical, romantic spring ever. take the opportunity to cherish this moment and appreciate how wonderful you are for surviving another winter.
love, m.

The It-Girl Blueprint: Where to Put Your Energy :
An It-Girl doesn’t waste time overthinking, gossiping, or stressing about other people's actions or behaviour. She doesn’t entertain unnecessary thoughts or internal conflicts. An it-girl doesn't dwell on things that drain her. Instead, she detaches, refocuses, and puts all that energy into herself—her growth, her glow, her dream life.
