Unpopular opinion —
Cute but overpriced skincare products, trendy supplements, and aesthetic workout gear won’t be the key to your glow up.
Taking retinol but not eating your vegetables will not make your skin age less
Hydration isn’t just about serums; it’s about drinking water
Collage production isn’t just about fancy creams, it’s about eating nutrient rich foods like leafy greens and berries
Glow doesn’t come from overpriced skincare, it comes from balanced meals, less sugar, and good sleep
Moving your body consistently, even if it’s walking is better than bying every workout set you’ve seen on instagram
Don’t give in to the trap of consumerism disguised as self-care. Your glow up isn’t for the sale. It’s in the basics.

GRIEF IS PRODUCTIVE; GUILT IS NOT
make a list of your top priorities: Figure out what actually matters to you right now. This isn’t about what you should care about, but what truly takes up your energy—school, your health, building confidence, relationships, etc. Keep the list short (3–5 things max) so you can focus.
create a morning and night routine: Routines give your brain structure. You don’t need a 10-step ritual—just something consistent. Morning = stretch, drink water, check your planner. Night = wash your face, no phone 30 mins before bed, quick journal. That alone is enough.
check in with yourself and journal frequently: Journaling doesn’t mean writing novels. Just note how you feel, what’s bothering you, what went well, or what’s on your mind. Use prompts if you’re stuck. The point is to stay connected to yourself instead of spiraling in your head.
start saving money: Even a small amount every week matters. Start tracking what you spend. Make a savings goal (emergency fund, a trip, new laptop). Try a rule like “save 10% of what I get” or “no impulse purchases until Sunday.”
learn something new every day: It doesn’t have to be academic. Listen to a podcast, read one article, Google something random. Write down one interesting thing you learned to help you remember it—and to remind yourself that you’re growing.
spend time with the people you love: Text them. Call them. Make plans, even if you’re busy. Shared time matters. It’s easy to get caught up in fixing yourself and forget that love and connection are part of being okay.
keep track of your sleep, hydration, nutrition: Start observing how your body feels. Are you getting 7–8 hours of sleep? Drinking enough water (2L/day)? Eating regularly? You don’t have to go full fitness-tracker, but noticing patterns can help you feel way more in control.
list down your stress triggers: What causes you anxiety, procrastination, or overwhelm? Write them down. Knowing your triggers helps you build systems around them. If social events drain you, plan alone time after. If deadlines stress you, start earlier.
clean your room: Your environment reflects your mental state. Tidy up the space where you spend the most time. It doesn’t need to be perfect—just put things back in place, wipe down surfaces, and open a window. It shifts your mindset.
practice gratitude and/or meditate: You don’t have to be spiritual. Just note what’s good. Try writing 3 small things you’re grateful for, or sitting quietly for 5 minutes. It helps your mind slow down and notice what’s okay, even on rough days.
set boundaries: Say no when you need to. Don’t reply right away if you’re drained. Make rules for yourself about how much you give to others. Boundaries protect your energy—they’re not selfish, they’re necessary.
declutter your phone, laptop, etc: Digital mess counts. Delete apps you don’t use, clear out your camera roll and downloads, organize folders. It helps reduce mental clutter and makes everything feel more intentional.
plan 1 self care act every day: Something small, just for you. A walk, skincare, journaling, no-screen time, reading. Doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive—just consistent and kind to yourself.
xoxo, sally

hi angels! i honestly love to write and really reflect through my journal but sometimes an emotionally charged journal sesh requires a bit more energy than i have. but i know journalling always makes me feel so much better so here are some cute prompts or ideas for those lower energy, more creative days where writing doesn’t quite feel like enough.
list of your favourite things (for example artists, musicians, writers, flowers)
lyrics that feel relevant in the moment
your ‘fig tree’
a kiss from every time you’ve worn lipstick
an about you page
tea bags saved from every tea you’ve tried recently - maybe with a review also!
pressed flowers
a collage page with a theme
you right now
recipes you’ve found or want to try
doodles of what’s in your bag
weekly positives
‘junk’ pages full of any odd pieces of paper you save or think are interesting
quotes that feel important
comfort films
ideal partner
words to use more
a mini gallery (print outs of any of your favourite pieces of art)
your wish list
special poems
current obsessions/fixations
brain dumps on intriguing topics
old photos
your to be read list
things on your mind recently
your dream home
thank you for reading angels! have fun journalling and getting creative. there’s a quote by emily dickinson that’s always struck me, ‘i am out with lanterns looking for myself’. to me this quote is really reminiscent of when i journal, im attempting to piece my self together slowly. id really love to hear how journalling feels to you! love, m.
be so obsessed with yourself that it genuinely doesn’t matter what others think of you.

ィ you can throw me shade, all it does is just cool me off ࿐
I know that i’m the creator of my reality. I have everything I want and nothing can deny that fact. I never seek proof in the 3D, I only seek proof in imagination because it’s my real reality. I can have everything I ever wanted. My dream life is never out of reach because I am the creator of it. I am the creator of everything in my life and nothing is ever out of my control. I have the power to change anything I want. I am limitless. I do not have to experience anything I do not want to experience. I know that I’m doing everything right because I am the creator of my reality. All I have to do is imagine and feel and I instantly have what I want because the inner me is the real me. I love living in the 4D. I love how I am not waiting for anything because creation is finished. It is already done. I love how failure is simply impossible within the law of assumption. I don’t have to worry about anything. I know that everything has already turned out how I wanted it to. Everything is better than expected. My manifestations always turn out way better than I expected. My subconscious always knows what I want. I never have to second guess myself and my abilities because I already experienced it in imagination. It is done. It is done. It is done. Everything is within me, I just have to give it to myself.

Appreciation post with every single Taylor Room I've done so far! 💛💜❤️🩵🩷🩶🤎💙🤍
The Taylor Swift Room and the Reputation Room won't be done until we have their Taylor's Version re-release (it would only be fair!).
Happy November 1st but most importantly Happy Birthday Hello Kitty 💗 and Happy 50th anniversary Hello Kitty forever!
you're her. act like it.
this is inspired by self-development's video on youtube
think about yourself
put yourself first, because trust me when i say that no one will put you first like how you put them first. women are entirely too scared to be called selfish; and that needs to change. you should never be afraid to say "no" or fill your own cup first.
being hated is a privilege
if someone is genuinely taking the time out of their miserable day to hate on you, more specifically when you've done nothing wrong, then take that as a compliment! who are they to talk about you, girl? if someone is trying their hardest to bring you down, then you're obviously above them. if you're standing on a ladder, you can't push down someone who's already on the ground. but if you're on the ground, you can easily push down the person on the ladder.
be irreplaceable; be different.
if you want so badly to be irreplaceable, then you simply have to be different. if you try to fit in and be "normal," then your ex-boyfriend or ex-friend will find someone else in no time.
stop overthinking
if you really need something in your life, God will give it to you. and if you really want something in your life, then you'll work for it. that friend left you? you'll get another one soon. you lost two dollars? you're getting your allowance next week. just stop overthinking everything.
