scrapbooking
great way to look back on memories and lets you get rlly creative with it
journaling
my personal favorite ♡. so many different ways to go about it. you can have a bullet journal, book journal, cooking journal, movie journal. or, simply a diary to write about your thoughts and days. you can decorate your spreads with stickers and washi tape or keep it simple.
crocheting
there are so many things you could make, from tops to plushies. there are a lot of cute tutorials and free designs available online!
baking
this one may or may not be as easy as the other ones I’ve mentioned depending on the recipe but learning how to cook or bake makes for a great New Year’s resolution!
puzzles
there are a ton of different puzzles out there ranging from different skill level, so you can challenge your brain as much as you’d like!
sewing
whether you want to learn how to hand sew or use a sewing machine, to tailor clothes you already have or make your own pieces, sewing can be a fun and impressive skill to have.
playing an instrument
guitar, violin, piano, clarinet, drums— there are a ton of options for you to choose from and plenty of online resources :)
reading
reading can be a great way to learn more or be a better form of entertainment compared to social media and television. whether you want to educate yourself on different topics, discover a new genre of novels, or are interested in comics— reading is one of those hobbies where there’s something in it for everyone, regardless of what they’re looking for.
jewelry making
bracelets or necklaces, whatever it is you want to make the materials are easy to find, as well as tutorials and references.
bicycling
having an outside hobby is very important imo, and bicycling is one of those hobbies that lets you be as relaxed or intense as you’d like.
yoga
I think this is a great one, with yoga the focus doesn’t have to be looking a certain way or going super hard— it’s just about relaxing. there’s no pressure.
I have no money 2 help op but I'm reblogging 2 boost this soother people can see this
Well, we lost our means to log in, check mails and work online this December.
I don't have to tell you how much this has impacted us.
We did not reach our goal, we were unable to pay some bills that are now overdue, we probably have food for 3 days.
Monty lost his job, still waiting for the 2-3 months of payment they owe him, which is about $90 total cause he only had 1 class.
I really need my meds, I don't like being in pain all the time or going to the ER and getting treated like shit because "I do not take care of myself" when we can't afford the things I need to not hurt myself further.
I'm tired of limping all the time because walking is hell, I've tried warm salt water and massage my feet, legs and hip and Diclofenac gel but it hurts so bad.
I want to be able to help my partner earn money.
I want my family to stop living with mold.
I want to survive till January.
And for the repairs:

Hello Everyone! So I have been getting some very useful beauty grooming tips from other dolly girls that I follow on tumblr and it inspired me to make my own post series with a similar premise but more budget, mentally ill & neurodivergent friendly, or as a future reference 4 people who might not have the means to do these things at the moment. With that out the way onto the post! ♡
Basic Hygiene
First things first if your the person who can't take daily showers, or you have hormonal issues that make you stink even when you do take daily showers, then the shower routine that you have & the type of products you use are very important as it can be the difference between you smelling bad the same day or day after, versus you smelling good for 2-3 days without you having 2 do much. 4 the mentally ill I highly recommend that you ease yourself into this routine very slowly so that it doesn't feel draining
First soap wash, this can be with any soap but preferably a unsented hormonal friendly one, a natural/prebiotic soap bar, or unscented baby soap, you ideally want this first step done with a soap bar. The first places you want to wash before anything else are your neck, the outside of your crotch area (not the inside), your armpits, and your butt (don't go in the butthole) then your going to rinse all of that off and do it again, then with your choice of scented soap wash your legs, arms, & body. The goal is to hit all of the critical smell points that stink the most twice so that the smell of the scented soap stays.
The next step is to use any form of exfoliation that you have 2 get rid of some of your dead skin, a sugar scrub, exfoliation gloves or African sponge is recommended, you can also dry brush your body before your shower as these are all forms of gentle exfoliation to get rid of some build-up, after this you rinse all the dead skin off, if you don't have time or energy 4 this then remember 2 exfoliate your feet, ankles, neck, elbows, & knees as these are the most noticeable places 4 dead skin, and only exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week or it can cause skin dryness.
This next step is more optional but I do recommend it as it makes the shower last much longer; body hair removal, instead of getting a razor & using that 2 shave I recommend a hair removal cream (I love to use the magic hair removal brand, yes the one 4 beards, it has a lot of pre-made cream options & powder options that you can turn into paste that you can use especially if you have kinky/coily hair & it has ingredients that prevent ingrown hairs, bumps & keeps the hair off with time, the last time I used the powder (which is a bit messy, thus the pre-made cream recommendation) for my legs & armpit hair & that shave lasted for nearly 2 months) if your not doing a full body shave then target your crotch & armpits as those sweat the most.
This next step is also optional but if you don't want to lotion yourself when you get out the shower you can use a whipped body cream that you rinse off in the shower.
Now onto hair washing! This step is an important one, now what your gonna do first is wet your hair a bit & use a pre-poo for your hair to detangle it, (and a hot oil treatment before you wash it out in the shower a few times a week if you want hair growth) if you have dandruff or scalp psoriasis use this step to gently scrape off the flakes from your scalp. After your done detailing with the pre-poo your going to wash it out & start using your shampoo as you normally would, I highly recommend getting those scalp massagers people use while washing their hair, especially if you have dandruff or psoriasis, just make sure not to scrape of scab your scalp to rough. After you thoroughly rinse the shampoo off your gonna use your conditioner, let it sit for 3-15 minutes if you can & thoroughly rinse it out, or you can hop out of the shower & use a leave-in conditioner. If you can get a hair perfume to make your hair smell good or just use a good smelling conditioner.
Next step if you chose not to use the whipped body butter in the shower is to use the body moisturizer that you have, if you live in a hotter area or feel lotion, oil, or Shea butter is too sticky 4 you I recommend moisturizing body milk, do this from the neck down to your feet. After this you wanna use witch hazel on our armpits & outside crotch area (it helps with hormonal smells, hormonal balance, & sweat) then use your perfume of choice in the following areas; your neck, your ankles, behind your ears, your elbows, your knees, & your wrist . Then use a matching or complimenting body mist all over your body from the neck down. An optional but nice smelling touch would be to add both solid & spray perfume to this routine
After your done with your shower, brush your teeth and tongue & swish your mouth with mouthwash to make your breath smell fresh, then with a neutral oil to help whiten your teeth.
Now we can move on to the face, keep the routine 4 this short & sweet, think like 2 to 5 steps for the whole routine, for example; wet your face with lukewarm water, wash your face with whatever face wash you have, rinse the soap off your face with lukewarm water, then rinse your face with cold water to close up your pores faster, after that spray a facial toner on your face, then use the gua sha method to work in your face moisturizer all throughout your face, A lot of people recommend you wash your face once a day (specifically at night) but other people wash their face twice a day, do what is best 4 you & your schedule. After this exfoliate your lips with a sugar scrub. A warm damp rag or your toothbrush. then moisturize your lips, you can use a chapstick, lip mask, Vaseline, whatever works best 4 you.
Okie that's all 4 now! I hope this is helpful for anybody who comes across it! And thanks 4 reading♡

So I made up this ritual/ mindset and it’s called the Princess ritual/ mindset. ☺️☺️☺️.
Here’s how it goes.
💘 First, pick out a dress or article of clothing you love, and put it on.
💘 As well, pick out something that could be your crown. I have a literal crown made from yarn that I wear, but it could be something else you hold or can wear or possibly some makeup that you put on.
💘 Okay and then while you’re wearing it, be in the Princess mindset.
💘 The Princess mindset basically means that you don’t let negativity of any kind bring you down. You don’t react to negativity. This causes you to focus more on things that make you happy/ you love.
💘 If you do react to negativity, then when you catch yourself, don’t react to it.
💘 Do activities that boost your confidence/ let you know that you are worthy/ validate to you that you are beautiful and awesome etc. like saying affirmations, journaling, taking selfies, etc.
💘 It can be hard to stay in Princess mindset sometimes, but we all make mistakes and you can try again.
💘 And that’s basically all there is to it. Don’t feed in to negativity of any kind, only focus on positivity of any kind.
💘 The Princess ritual/ mindset has been very helpful to me sometimes, like when I start getting upset.
💘 The Princess mindset is helpful all of the time to be in. The dress & crown helped me to remember that I was in it.
I hope it helps you too.
😇🥰☺️.
Love,
Pure Love with Horns - The Pure Love Devil - Lucy S.
💘😇⚡️🌹🔥🧸🐉🗝🐳💙🕷🎀💗✌️.
