what april taught me ꪆৎ ˚⋅𓂃

you cannot emotionally punish someone for a standard that you created in your head

people will lie. people will hurt you. all you can do is to keep moving on in good conscience, knowing that you did your part

how you treat yourself is a reflection of your self-respect

TRUST. YOUR. GUT. you need to come in clutch for you.

neutral self-talk is better than negative self-talk. small steps, baby steps

an apology is not a quick fix

acceptance is also not something that is owed, to apologies given

if someone demands that you pick a side – between them or another party – i think it's rather obvious which side you pick.

TRUST THAT GUT OF YOURS i can't make this more clear!!!

the people who are right for you will make it known.

after honouring your feelings... sometimes you really just need to say "it is what it is" and move on instead of harbouring that grief and anger for ages

rejection is always redirection but it'll only feel like it once your mindset changes!! :')

everything gets easier and more pleasant after 10 mins, you just need to push through the first 10

start romanticising your reading

TLDR: choose your read, curate your space, and engage with the text

About three years ago, I was in the biggest reading slump. It was so bad that it had gotten to the point where I couldn't even read one sentence without picking up my phone to doom-scroll. At that point, I genuinely thought I could never ever get into reading again.

However, when I started romanticising my reading, I was able to finish a whole book in just one week. By romanticising my reading, it was no longer a chore, instead, it felt like an enjoyable experience where I could get lost in the emotions of the story.

────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ───────

"How do you even romanticise reading?"

step #1 - choosing your read

pick something short and easy to read - a short story, a poetry collection, a graphic novel, an old favourite or comfort read

judge a book by its cover and pick something with a cover-art that interests you

pick something that matches your mood/feeling, here are some of my recommendations: want something gothic and eerie, filled with old secrets? We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson want something bittersweet and nostalgic with heartache? Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi want something empowering and thought-provoking? And Still I Rise by Maya Angelou want something whimsical and soft, filled with dreamy illustrations? Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel by Mariah Marsden, illustrated by Brenna Thummler

step #2 - curate your space

replace your main lights for ambient lighting - fairy lights, candles, salt lamps, mushroom lamps, warm coloured LEDs

turn on some background music to build atmosphere for your book - 90s jazz for classic books, orchestral music for fantasy books

have a drink or snack that you love - I recommend an iced mocha or matcha for summers, and hot chocolate or green tea for winters

sit somewhere comfortable or somewhere that builds atmosphere - I have my bed next to my window which means it's comfortable when I read and I can also hear the crickets during summer nights

step #3 - engage with the text

use coloured pens or markers to highlight or underline your favourite quotes, and you can even assign different colours to different emotions

stick custom bookmarks or themed stickers to mark meaningful chapters or sections

start a collection jar with paper notes of your favourite quotes that you can read at the end of the year - you can write down the page, chapter, and book so you can always go back to where these quotes came from

jot down your current thoughts and feelings about certain chapters and sections so you can revisit the book in the future to see how your thoughts and interpretations have evolved over time - I like to date these annotations so I know exactly when I wrote my annotations

Remember that progress is still progress, even if it's small 🧸

Small Ways To Become Ridiculously Charming

1. Practice The Art of Smooth Communication.

Practice articulating your thoughts with finesse, choosing words the resonate deeply. Embrace the power of storytelling weaving narratives that captivate your audience.

2. Become Unpredictable.

Imagine life as a captivating story with unexpected plot twists. When people can't predict your next move, they remain engaged and fascinated by your dynamic character.

3. Level Up Your Compliments.

Anvone can give generic compliments, but you take it to another level. Tailored to the individual. When people feel truly seen and appreciated for their unique qualities, they can't help but be charmed by your perceptiveness

4. Magnetic Eye Contact.

it conveys confidence, attentiveness, and a genuine interest in the other person.

5. Use The "Familiarity" Concept.

Approach conversations as if you've known the person forever, even if you've just met. Display a warm and friendly demeanor that puts others at ease. Show genuine interest in their stories.

little things to enjoy in spring

exploring cute little new cafés with friends and rating the drinks and treats

rereading your favourite books outside in the sun

cleaning your room and suddenly feeling like a new person

long walks with no destination

staying out longer because it finally stays bright past 6pm

admiring wildflowers on the side of the road

fruit starting to taste like fruit again

spring rain—and the air right after

overhearing someone say “it actually smells like spring”

cafés putting tables outside again

taking more photos because everything looks so pretty and alive

sunlight through the curtains in the morning

actually being in the mood to make plans

finding new perfumes or body sprays that feel seasonal

the first picnic of the year

shopping for new closet staples

listening to old summer playlists and pretending it’s July already

sitting on a bench alone with headphones and people-watching

the collective seasonal delusion that we’re all going to fall in love now

10 of my favorite easy glow up tips! 𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅

get a gua sha!! not expensive at all and made such a difference in my face shape and carving out my cheek bones and jawline. there’s lots of good tutorials on tiktok or youtube!

tea in the morning/night! there’s so many teas to help with different things but my favorite’s are spearmint tea for clearing skin and green tea for reducing bloating.

ice your face! helps SO much with de-puffing and closing up your pores! dipping your face in a bowl with ice water can reduce inflammation, help with acne and reduce oily skin!

make sure to get enough sleep! It’s so easy to stay up scrolling on tumblr until the sun comes up but getting enough sleep is so important mentally and physically!

find a skincare routine that works for you and remember too much skincare can be bad for your skin! my skin was breaking out the worst when i was using a bunch of skincare and It’s cleared so much since i simplified my routine.

use a lash/brow serum! my favorite brand is grande lash and it’s a little pricey but using castor oil works as well and it’s super affordable.

going on walks! I’ve never been a fan of intense exercises and I’m a chronic bed rotter but putting on my favorite hot girl playlist and strutting on the treadmill/sidewalk is genuinely so fun!

rosemary oil for hair growth! my holy grail of hair growth products along with a scalp massager. my whole life my hair grew so slow and since using rosemary oil i have to trim my bangs twice a month sometimes!

i cannot stress this one enough..wear what YOU want! don’t let new trends or judgment from others stop you from embracing your true style. we look our best when we feel most confident!

most importantly ~ take care of yourself! make sure you’re eating enough, drinking water, listening to your body and being gentle with yourself always. improving ourselves can be so fun but make sure it’s not at the expense of your mental health <3
