hobbies to consider for 2025

・゜゜・．⋆｡°✩ ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊✩₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ✩°｡⋆.𖥔. ᗢ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

painting

gouache, watercolor, acrylic… there’s so many things for you to try and it’s super easy to get started!

clay

sculpt rlly cute charms, dishes, and whatever else!!

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.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚ The B.A.P Handbook 🔱🌸🐆 by Kayln Johnson , Tracy Lewis,Karla Lightfoot ೃ࿔*:･

The Acronym (B.A.P) A ㅤㅤ𝓑͟lack american 𝓟rincess a set of black women archetypes built off the Mindest that emphasizes Respect,Consideration,Humility and the way one carries herself from a young age and upbringing from privilege of young black women while remaining humble and generous of their Blessings

The Acronym most notable known from the Halle Berry & Natalie Desselle 1997 Comedy B.A.P.S it combines are set of three Archetypes of “Bapitude”

The Betty

A BAP of birthright she carries herself with an unshakeable belif that she is meant to be and have the best of the best with amazing achievements,manners and Amazing Style who is a perfectionist in everything she does and maintain classy,humble and Flawless !

The Boho

A Quirky,free spirited, Funky BAP by Birthright shes born into a high social and economic environment that embraces tradition but she moves to the beat of her own drum with and unorthodox lifestyle she’s an openminded free thinker who prioritizes her happiness and expression herself despite societies standards and a social conscious presence

The Butterfly

The Butterfly is not a BAP by birthright but one who is from modest beginnings through her lifes as adapted and cultivated her BAPITUDE through the guidance and mindset of a betty and a boho and her metamorphosis truly makes her blossom by her resilience

The Bogus

The Bogus is not a bap by birthright or a bap truly all her bapitude is all in her head because she lacks the true understanding of what it means to be a bap and defines herself and her worth solely based on appearance and material possessions with no true substance to her while romanticizing negative stereotypes about herself

✿𓈒ིུ.·:*¨ NOIR GYAL CHEAT SHEET!

❀ incorporating noir gyal into your wardrobe is honestly more easier than it seems.

the main focus is:

✿ color scheme: color color color! it’s alllll about color (preferably vibrant/warm undertones) anything that’s with pink, either by itself or paired with another color/s is very gyalicious!

✿ accessories: it’s also all in the accessories like barrettes, ballies, bows, beads, frilly socks, bangles, bamboo hoops, nameplate necklaces, charm bracelets, pretty much anything tied to black culture/girlhood!

✿ hair: braids, twists, afros, locs, natural hair, all the black cultural styles!

✿ nails: curved, square, flared, & even just painting your natural nails!

✿ some noir gyal coded gyals: kelis, lil kim, beyonce, rihanna, nicki minaj (mainly from their eras 90s-2000s)

& last but not least, have fun & @ me & hashtag #noirgyal on here, tik tok, or even pinterest! i’d love to see what you’ve pieced together! ❤︎

- blowing kisses & giving you sugar - ℒ ❀

Can you give tips for those who can't follow a routine, please?! 💗 I loved your blog :)

tyy i'm glad ♡

this is what works for me:

✦ romanticizing mundane tasks. finding a new yummy recipe for breakfast will make you want to get out of bed, getting a cute mug will make you wanna drink tea. sometimes i light a candle and shower with the lights off. i also like to make my own body scrubs using natural ingredients like brown sugar and honey. these things are extremely helpful when i'm struggling to get up and go take a shower. i also love using banana or strawberry toothpaste. if i'm feeling too lazy to brush my teeth, i remember i have my fruit toothpaste and it makes me more excited to go and clean my teeth. it's about making boring stuff more enjoyable.

✦ planning my day according to my energy levels. if i feel like i can't bear an everything shower, i'll just clean my body and use dry shampoo. if i can't deep clean my room, opening the window, putting my clothes away and making my bed is better than doing nothing at all. if i'm harsh with myself and try to force myself to cross every task out of my to do list, i'll end up paralyzed, thinking about all the things i need to do and can't, and i'll end up doing nothing at all.

✦ forgiving myself and moving on. let's say, i started doing oil pulling every day and i've been able to do it consistently for a while, but then skipped one day, because i slept in, or because i was sick. this doesn't mean all my progress is lost and that i might as well stop doing it altogether, because i skipped a day or two. i'm better off doing it once a week, or missing a few days, than not doing it at all. at the end of the day, it's still such a great habit to have and it's a good habit that's going to stack alongside with others.

✦ writing things down. i really can't function unless i write everything down. writing to do lists, schoolwork that's due, shopping lists, my goals, it all helps me stay organized, sane and grounded. i have a lot on my mind at all times and need to take those worries and write them down, otherwise i'll go insane. i like to use the notes app on my phone and notion, because i got into the habit of checking these every day and so i know i won't end up forgetting about these lists. i also like to use planning sheets. i stick them to my wall so i won't forget about them.

i hope this is helpful! ♡♡

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ the original beauty binder tutorial ❤︎︎

everything you need to make your own personal beauty binder ❤︎︎

disclaimer: this post is heavily inspired by @tomb-of-ligeia and @daphne-dauphinoise, and early 2010s beauty youtubers. it’s always kind to credit your inspo <3

inspired by the lookbooks and makeup charts used by makeup artists designers at high fashion runways shows and childhood bratz coloring and activity books. the law of attraction is at use heavily with this binder (writing down goals and wishlists)!

you should be keeping diy recipes you find in here.

*you don’t need a physical binder. some people function better with digital mediums. i prefer anything physical and concrete. but you can do all this in something like a notion, or your notes app, etc.

why? ❤︎︎

a cute girly hobby (esp for type A, anal retentive, or analytical personalities/extremely creative, hands on people) to keep track of your routines, motivate you to keep yourself maintained, and figure out what works best for you. it’s nothing too serious, just a girly pastime for people that maybe buy too many products, slip up on routines, or don’t what looks best on your features. have fun!

what to record in your binder? ❤︎︎

an intro sheet + 10 different topics divided by tabbed sections: your personal features, makeup, body, fashion, skincare, hair, fragrance, nails, treatments/procedures, salons/spas/referrals/contacts .𖥔 ݁ ˖

intro sheet ❤︎︎

here, you should keep your goals, desired look, and how you want to perceive yourself.

your personal features ❤︎︎

a chart of your color season. mine is cool winter. you can use color season for whatever, i choose to apply it to my makeup.

your natural body shape. this will help you choose the best clothes to flatter your silhouette.

a close up, unfiltered clear photo of your bare face. note your skin type, color, undertone, and any other things that stand out to you.

note what you wanna enhance and what you wanna improve. this will help throughout your binder.

makeup ❤︎︎

put on a light layer of every lipstick/lip gloss/etc. you have and make kiss shaped swatches in your binder. note the shade, brand, and finish. then the mood/occasion in which you’d wear it.

swatch all your lip liners, again leaving the details of the product.

swatch your foundation shades. note the finish, name and brand.

make a sheet dedicated to all your “holy grail”, essential products.

swatch your eyeshadow palettes. i have all my shimmer pigments swatches and it’s the prettiest thing to look at.

do you have any go to makeup looks? your casual look, going out look, no makeup makeup look, etc.? do these looks and take high quality pics. make personalized face charts by printing them out and noting the steps and products you used.

take pics of your lashes after trying on all your mascaras/falsies. note the effects and when you would be most likely to wear them.

print out any pics of interesting makeup looks and products you wanna try.

try on lip combos and kiss swatch them. i’m doing this because i do amazing lip combos all the time but i forget which products i used, and it’s hard to replicate the look.

face chartz!!!

body ❤︎︎

take a stick figure-esque picture of yourself and print it out. any outfit you want to buy, print and clip it out first and see if it’s something you’d wear and actually like.

are you experiencing any skin issues on your body and trying any products? keep track of the issue and how the products are doing.

if you don’t already have one, brainstorm workout routines and general wellness/fitness goals.

what are your fav body products? what products did you buy, and hate? TRACK THEM!

any detoxes/diets you’re doing should be recorded in this section.

record “beauty enhancing” foods and drinks here. mine include matcha, lemon water and acv shots.

fashion ❤︎︎

outfit planning! take pics of pieces you already have and clip them out. (i’m doing this currently and keeping them all in a little pocket in my binder).

make a moodboard of your personal style(s). how do you want your closet to look? try to see what details, colors, additions are consistent throughout. when shopping, these are what you should keep track of.

print out your signature clothing color palette if you want to have one.

dedicate a page to accessories you have/want, and how you’d style them.

go to the fabric store and buy little swatches that you like. take note of what the fabric is and why you like it.

dedicate a page to all your signature details. all the little specific things that scream YOU and NO ONE else! that means do not write pink, girly, etc. here. that is not exclusive to you, hun.

skincare ❤︎︎

take a current filter free photo (make it glam! tie your hair up in a ballerina bun and put on some cute earrings) of the state of your skin. if your skin is perfect, i’m jealous and how does it feel to be god’s fav? if not what problems are you experiencing?

log your current skincare routines and how they’re working.

make a page for your skin type, how it feels when you wake up and how it feels and looks by the end of the day and research tips to deal with your personal skin type.

skincare wishlist! list any products you wanna try and what they are for. sample them from ulta or sephora if it’s possible.

dedicate a page to the skincare ingredients your skin loves the MOST! mine are retinol, bha, and vitamin c.

i have a page for all the extra cute little skincare devices i want. on it there’s a stainless steel gua sha, an ice pack, facial steamer, and pink foreo.

hair ❤︎︎

what’s your hair type, density, porosity and curl pattern?

write down any hair goals you have. mine is frizz free tailbone length caramel brown hair with honey blonde highlights by the end of this year.

what’s your signature hairstyle? do you have a signature? brainstorm here.

clip out hairstyle inspo from pinterest and insta and try to recreate all the looks!

what are your fav hair products? i keep track of the best curling creams and leave in conditioners for my hair personally.

take note of any trending products you wanna try.

fragrance ❤︎︎

make a moodboard of how you wanna smell. after this, research notes and how they work together.

now track your fav perfumes, your most complimented, etc.

note what fragrances go with what occasion and how they make you feel.

make your perfume wishlist! my fav part!

nails ❤︎︎

swatch all your polishes. label them and their finish.

what’s your signature/go to nail look?

do you have any pics of your fav mani + pedis? print them out and write the details you loved the most.

write down your at home mani and pedi routine and it’s frequency.

write your fav colors and styles to wear on your nails. mine are glittery pink, pale pink, white, cream, french tip and pink frenchie. a hyper girly twist on the classics.

treatments/procedures ❤︎︎

take note of any surgeries or procedures you want done and what they do.

anything you leave the house to have done regularly, keep track here.

don’t limit yourself! forget your budget! what are some high maintenance treatments you wanna experience? manifest it.

references ❤︎︎

write down the sources of which you find great info for beauty and fashion

keep addresses of your fav salons and spas.

keep business contacts of your fav estheticians, stylists, nail techs, etc.

use my branding yourself guide to assist in your beauty binder! so much inspo and so many good resources! ❤︎︎

Develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don't end up internalizing the beliefs others have of you.
