pretty… bitchin’
wash your face every night - washcloth, warm water, and a simple cleanser will do wonders. plus, warm water helps make you all sleepy for bed
take a multivitamin every day - and keep an eye open for coupons for them. usually multivitamins have some pretty great coupons
if you can, open the windows every once in a while. fresh air does a lot of good for your body (and state of mind)!
keep a few cleaning supplies in the bathroom. every so often after having a shower, give things a quick wipe-down. the steam from the shower dislodges any sink guck, making the job much easier - and never underestimate the power of a clean bathroom for both physical and mental health
keep a water bottle by the bed and drink some water when you wake up. it’ll help you greet the day a little easier, and plus - whose mouth ISN’T as dry as the sahara when they wake up?
it’s not always easy, but try to make doing dishes before turning in for the night a habit. i can’t express how lovely it is to wake up and walk into a clean and tidy kitchen
keep snacks in the fridge that are delicious and healthy - my faves are strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and grapes. i love snacks. plus, there’s not really much prep involved with those kinds of things
sweep! sweeping takes up a bit more physical energy, but it’s become one of my favourite things to do. i put on some nice music and visualize sweeping out not only dirt, but anything else clouding up my space - negative energy, self doubt, etc. it’s a nice, witchy little ritual for me now.
light a candle, specifically one that smells delicious
identify the things that make you feel better about yourself and your surroundings and prioritize them and only them when you’re feeling sucky. that way, you still feel accomplished, but you aren’t using up all your mental and physical energy trying to run through all your tasks/cleaning/etc
remember that you’re doing these things for you, and not anyone else. you deserve to feel happy and at ease!
HENRY CAVILL as Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes (2020)
My Edith x Sherlock headcanons (from Enola movie)
He frequents the tearoom — specifically Edith’s kitchen — at least once a week.
She secretly tests new flavors on him by forcing him to eat something “since you insist on taking up space in my kitchen you can help me clean up” partly for fun but also because she knows he forgets to eat when he’s working.
He bothers her when she’s out and about to ask her for insight on cases. Like, he appears at her elbow when she’s buying flour and sugar. She stops getting startled after the second time and just accepts it. It’s not like he’s stopping her errands.
Sometimes he intercepts her packages and brings them to her just so she’ll get that exasperated look on her face. (She’s pretty when she’s annoyed.)
He snoops in her writing (some, not all) and both encourages and challenges her.
She challenges him to think about people’s feelings and emotional reactions when he forgets them in favor of logic.
That’s just a few I come up with more all the time. These are just the most frequent.
