haii, just stumbled across ur page and fell in love with your gojo stories. May I request some simple fluff with Saturo Gojo were the reader is capable of reading minds and Saturo is taking advantage of being able to talk to you without anybody hearing it, like flirting and nobody gets to hear it only you

Your requests are ADORABLEEEE

Mutual pining Gojo fluff <3

You sat it the small, wood framed classroom, letting the warm spring breeze flow onto your face. You had tuned out whatever Yaga-sensei was lecturing about long ago and simply let yourself become distracted by the sights and sounds of the outside world. That was until you heard an eco in your head

"Pssst hey, hey y/n" Your classmate Gojo's voice rang clear

He was the only you had told about this specific part of your cursed technique, if someone simply thought about talking to you while looking at you, you could tune in and hear their thoughts but you were unable to communicate back.

He guessed it on pretty much the first day of school, it had to have been a perk of having the six eyes. He had bothered you about it endlessly until you admitted that he was right just to shut him up. He promised he wouldn't tell anyone but that didn't mean he couldn't have fun with it now could he?

You cocked your eyebrow and looked at him, after seeing he got your attention his eyes perked up a bit before he reassumed his casual leaning against he desk

"Isn't this just soooooo boring" he speaks through your mind

You roll you eyes at him attempting to get back to your daydreaming when he pints in front of him to where Geto is seated

"Look look!" He had been sneakily putting small pieces of paper onto the back of Geto hair was apparently very amused with himself

You stifle a laugh

"Is something the matter y/n?" Yaga asked trining around from the board

"N-no sorry" you say looking down

He returns to teaching when you hear Gojo's voice once again

"Yeah pay attention y/n" he mocks with a smile

You give him one of those 'shut it or you'll die' looks that Shoko taught you but he just laughed

Several minutes went by with you looking out you window before your classmate interjects again but this time in a much softer tone

"You hair looks pretty in the breeze ya know..."

You whirled around, in shock. 'Gojo would never say anything like that?!' You think

When you had turned to face him he looked like he was about to burst out laughing

"You should have seen the look on your face!" He cried, his laughter echoing in your mind

You scowled at him, trying to hide your embarrassment.

Gojo, upon seeing your upset face scrambled to make the situation better. I mean of course he meant to say you looked pretty but he couldn't just admit that!

In a feeble attempt of boyish humor, he folded a paper airplane and gently sent it your way to get your attention

You whirled around once again, tired of his shenanigan.

"Just open it" he whispered through your mind

You begrudgingly unfolded the airplane to find he crudely drawn a small cat and had the words "sorry :/" next to it

You looked back up at him, a small smile on your face, but you saw that he had turned away from you, is hand on the back of his neck and the tips of his ears just slightly red.

You slipped the folded piece of paper into you pocket.

Gojo meanwhile was smiling gleefully to himself, the lecturer was now the furthest thing from his mind (not that he was ever actually paying attention in the first place). Now all he was focused on was using your little secret to make you blush like that again.

Hi friends. I’m 21F and have been struggling with my body image since 2009 which led me to develop anorexia around 2014. I’ve been struggling ever since and have tried every trick and diet out there but have finally settled on my own so I thought I’d share it. First of all, recovery is a lie. There was a point in my life where I fully recovered but made me fat… it was nice not to worry about calories and all that but the pros outweigh the cons of an ED if done correctly. So think of your ED as a lifelong friend. In order to have an ED successfully for a long period of time you must go about it healthily. I know this is somewhat contradictory. I’m gonna include just some general tips, advice, and food alternatives. In a separate post I’ll be listing my favorite low kcal recipes so stay tuned.

~

GENERAL TIPS

•Drink water before, during, and after meals. This is absolutely crucial.

•During this period it’s important to spend extra time and effort on maintaining your vaginal health, immune system, fertility, and skincare !! Really important not to neglect these things especially vaginal care >.<

•Calories matter but make sure to eat nutritious foods. Must have a good judgment on when to splurge on kcals or when to go for an alternative. For ex: splurging on healthy foods that are a lot of kcals vs unhealthy processed foods that are low kcal.

•It’s good to strive for 1200 kcals or less. If it’s a cheat day or you’re feeling lenient then aim for around 1600 kcals. Never ever go over 2000 kcals.

•if you’re a foodie like me then you *have* to find creative and unique ways to curb your cravings. Otherwise your mental health will plummet. If you’re not satisfied then you’re either gonna keep eating or be miserable

•Remember your brain needs at least 330 kcals to function properly so if you’re feeling slow or disoriented then definitely have a snack or meal.

•Best drinks to have are water, sparkling water, tea, and coffee.

•If you eat over your calorie limit don’t fret, it’s not the end of the world. Just either work out or purge. Keep purging to a limit and don’t do it more than once a day. Ideally less purging is better so keep it for emergencies.

•Using apps such as my fitness pal are great for seeing what nutrients you’re deficient in or going overboard in. However I’ve found I lose more weight when I’m not using the app because I’m thinking about food less. However everybody is different and I would recommend at least checking out the application if you haven’t already.

•Vitamins are your bestie too!! I take a couple supplements to make sure I’m getting the vitamins I need for longevity.

•Cut down on silly calories like sauces and drinks by using alternatives. Also you can pretty much find a low kcal version of anything these days if you look hard enough.

•If you love flavor then these simple things will help like ~ seasoning, low kcal hot sauce such as Tabasco or sriracha, soy sauce, etc.

~

CRAVING ALTERNATIVES

•Juice or sugary drinks ~ low sugar Gatorade, fruit flavored teas iced with extra tea bags to give it extra flavor

•Soda ~ flavored sparkling water with powder or liquid drink mix such as crystal light strawberry lemonade drink mix

•Starbucks ~ just making my own mixed coffee drinks and sweet tea drinks saves so many calories

•Dessert ~ Gerber biscuits arrowroot (taste like shortbread), Gerber lil biscuits, cottage cheese, chocolate covered fruit or nuts

•Chips ~ Gerber’s Lil Crunchies Mild Chedder (basically cheese/ cheeto puffs), quest chips, or half a serving size of normal chips

•Ice cream ~ strawberry halo top

•Chocolate ~ alter eco or dark chocolate coconut fudge

•Mayo ~ miracle whip or vegan mayo

•Rice ~ cauliflower or broccoli rice

•Pasta ~ Chickpea pasta

A General Guide to Writing Well, Now, & Consistently

In all my years writing, I have struggled with keeping writing as a fun and healthy habit. It took me five years (and many instances of writer's block and giving up) to actually have a basic set of guidelines to keep my writing going...

And I would like to share these "rules" with you all today!

Now, a bit of a disclaimer: developing the quality of your writing skills comes with time, research, and thinking. It may sound frustrating to hear, and you may hear it often, but the only way to get better at writing is to write and read often. Many times, just by jotting a silly thought down or reading fanfiction, you can spawn ideas without realizing it.

Now, to the list of tips that (I hope) will help you on your writing endeavors!

If you are not having fun writing your story, your readers will not have fun reading it. It sounds silly, but it's true! If you're enjoying your writing, you're more likely to write more and input more ideas into it!

Even if you have people to check your works, reread them on your own anyway. This may be a little frustrating tip for some, but let me tell you: I used to HATE checking my own stuff. The worst way I learned that personally checking it is a necessity was when my aunt checked it and pointed out tens of mistakes within my grammar, storyline, and characters. Check yo work, it will save you a LOT of embarrassment in the future.

Write anything. Read everything. As ambiguous and obscure as it will sound, it makes sense with context. As I mentioned before, the only way to get better at writing is to write and read often. Write anything your mind desires, that's simple enough. But read EVERYTHING; not only books, blogs, and articles, but also games, texts with friends, billboards, pictures with text, and (sorry, students) even homework as well. You'll be surprised how much your vocabulary expands when you actually pay attention to anything that is written (for me, it was video games. Seven-year old me knew vocabulary that I was taught in seventh grade because of it). And on that note...

Research what you don't know. Please, this one is genuinely important (I'm biased because it's one of my pet peeves). This includes words you don't know the definition of, spelling, and even generic, real-life information you want to add into your stories (e.g. I actually spent four hours researching how gemstones are categorized for my sci-fi story: Eco-Adstrum). Unfortunately, sometimes researching and fact-checking your ideas before writing them down can prove to be unmotivating, especially when you're wrong. But, it's always good to stay optimistic and be creative enough to twist the actual fact to mold it to your stories. Unless you're writing non-fiction, then maybe don't do that last bit.

If you have no ideas, keep wiggling your pencil. To those that recognize that phrase, yes, it is not my own. This is a piece of writing from former Tumblr user "officialtheonite" (I was only able to find the post because it has been reblogged multiple times) and their fifth grade writing teacher. Essentially, even if you have no ideas, keep writing. Write ANYTHING, even if it doesn't make sense. You will always be able to double-check it later and you will save yourself a lot of wasted time sitting around trying to stir the soup in your brain.

Balance the usage of your names and pronouns. To this day, I still struggle with this. I tend to use an abundance of pronouns when I'm referring to a character, so much so that sometimes, it becomes unclear on if we are still talking about aforementioned character or if we're talking about a different character entirely. Use names when the focus or action of a character is on stage; use pronouns if we are still talking about said character (even if we are talking about the same character, make sure you at least reiterate their name when there's a new paragraph).

I'll be editing and reworking this list as time goes on. I hope these tips can be of use so some of you all. Feel free to ask me any questions if needed. Enjoy writing and keep at it! I believe in you all!

SKINCARE TIPS part II.

Hello my lovlies, welcome back to a new post! I wanted to come back with something easy and fresh for the beginning of the colder season, since I'm guilty for not taking care of my skin in the fall as much as I am in the summer time. So I want to make a quick post about skincare once again. If you have any questions leave then bellow, I always anwser! With that being said let's get into the post shall we?

〰️ DISCLAIMER

I'm am not a certified dermatologist/cosmetologist, I highly advise to go to one if your having a hard time with your skin! With that being said, let's get into the post. 🕊

TIPS AND TRICKS

I. INTUITIVE SKINCARE

Now I know in the first post I talked about skincare cycling and how that can help to stay on track and it's also very beginner friendly to understand the process and the products that go together. But as time goes and you get into skincare you'll soon realize how good it is to monitor and understand your skin. Some days it will be very dry and patchy and some days it will be immensely oily and clogged. That's why I always recommend having two sets of skincare for different occasions. I work in an environment where my face gets dry patches after a few days, so on those nights I reach for my soothing cleanser and heavier moisturizer. If you're forgetful like me, you can also put an alarm in your calender for monitoring, this also helps me out on those busy weeks.

II. HYGIENE AROUND YOUR SKINCARE

I know many people who don't change their towels, wash cloths after a few days and I'm not saying you're dirty for that, I'm just suggesting you should try changing them everyday. I have 7 wash clothes, which I use once a day (morning and night) and I clean all of them together only with my sheets on the highest temperature. I also stopped washing them with softener, since this can lead to build up over time. If you're worried they will seem stiff, add some white vinegar, they fluff up towels real nice! I advise all my closest friends with acne prone skin to try this out or just use boxed tissues, even though this can be a little pricey and not eco friendly. Not a fan of makeup remover wipes anyway... to add on to this make sure to buy products with pumps so you don't scoop your hands into the product, even if they've been cleaned. Old skin, dust particles and such can get into the product.

III. OVER EXFOLIATING

I know you've heard people say this a million times, but is really is the case, especially if you have reactive/sensitive skin. Stop using exfoliating products more than twice a week. What this can do is a plethora of bad things. From stripping all the natural oils from your skin to dehydrating it, to making it more sensitive than it was before. Patience is the key here.

IV. RETINOL USE

When talking about patience, the first thing that pops up in my head is retinol, because o boy do you need a lot of patience for this. It can seem very intimidating at first but if you stick with simple steps the purging will not be so bad. Retinol makes skin cells turn over faster, by doing so when you start using it, it will push out more dirt than usual. This is the reason people stop using it. They payed so much for this product and now they have to look at a million blemishes popping out of nowhere. Our skin doesn't like big changes and retinol is a big shock to our skin from the start. So I advise in the beginning doing it once a week. I used to have retinol Sundays and yes I did purge, but not so much I had to stop. A pimple or two a week I would say, and with that I would just put pimple patches on them and it would resolve the issue.

Rules for retinol:

1. Never use retinol in the morning, it degrades in the sun. So you're throwing your money down the drain.

2. Don't mix it with vitamin C, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Yes you can have a skin day where you exfoliate with salicylic acid, but than have a recovery day after. In the same day, I wouldn't recommend it for the majority of people.

3. Never use more than a pea sized amount for a long period of time. Your skin needs to get used to the dosage.

4. I know the "sandwich" method is really popular right now with retinols, but I advise the old fashioned route. Sandwithing is putting a moisturizer before and after a retinol. I like to use a heavy moisturizer after the retinol and that's it. Even if you have acne prone skin, a heavier cream is necessary beacuse retinols dry out skin.

5. Don't apply to damp skin. Even though it may seem like a logical step, it does more damage than good. When applying a retinol to damp skin it penetrates deeper. So this can be quite irritating for your skin.

6. Don't forget the neck area and also your hands!

7. In the beginning do it only once a week and than after a month/two crank it up to twice a week. Really monitor your skin when cranking up the volume of retinol to see if you need to still hold back. Please please please dont rush this step. It's better to hold back a week or two than rushing.

8. Invest in a good sunscreen after getting into retinol and apply it every morning, reapplying every 2-3 hours when doing outdoor activities. If you work only indoor apply in the morning and the moment you exit your work place...that'll do it.

V. SUNSCREEN

For the longest time I didn't invest in some sort of good sunscreen, I have no idea why to be honest with. I guess I was just lazy to be honest. Sunscreen is the most important item to have in your skincare bag. All this money can be spent on creams, toners, moisturizers, retinols and so on...but it means nothing when you don't have UV protection for your skin.

VI. MORE IS MORE

Many think if they have an oily face that they can moisterize less or even not at all. The trick is to find a cream/moisturizer that is not heavy or that clogs your pores. Most of the time you will damage and cause even more blackheads/whiteheads if you don't moisturize because your skin will increase your sebum production. More is more, try out toners as well for amazing hydration!

Also be sure to know that there are 2 types of sunscreen: chemical and mineral.

🖤 Chemical Suncscreens absorb UV rays, acting like a sponge. It's better for oily/acne prone skin because they are lighter than mineral one's. With this being said if you break out easily, you can also try chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens have ingredients like OXYBENZONE, AVOBENZONE and OCTOCRYLENE.

🖤 Minereal Sunscreens reflect UV rays of the skin, they are more suited for babies, sensitive skin and also pregnant women! The ingredients that are in minereal sunscreens are ZINC OXIDE AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE.

IV. BEGINNER ROUTINES

I struggled with this a lot, not even going to lie. When the whole world is just throwing so many products at your face and you just don't know where to begin. What chemicals go together, what is better in the day time, what products should you spurge on etc... I had many problems in the beginning because I was introducing so much to my skin. So I'm going to give a few examples for a beginner skincare routine with some of my favorite products so you don't need to struggle. Also I go by the this too when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to put 10 products on my face.

🖤MORNING

For daytime I recommend just the simple cleanse, moisturize and spf. On to this later you can add hydrating toners, vitamin C, an essence like snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide. All of these products can go together!

🖤 NIGHT

Double cleansing in my opinion is a must, even if you have sensitive skin. Start of with an oil based cleanser on DRY skin, message for a minute, rise and than apply a normal cleanser, massage for a minute and rinse again. The oil pulls out gunk from the pores. After that make sure your face is dry and than apply your started retinol followed up with a heavier moisturiser. To this routine later you can also add eyes creams, again essence/and or toners and spot treatments for acne/dark spots.

🖤EXFOLIATION

Even sensitive skin needs exfoliation at less once a week, but be careful to really keep this routine simple. Again double cleanse, only this time the first cleanser is an oil based and the second is a salicylic based cleanser. Follow that up with a very soothing cream. For deeper exfoliation later you can look into exfoliation masks (the ordinary has one with salicylic acid) or a clay mask. Or my personal fave on exfoliation night is aloe vera gel and snail mucin. Glycolic acid and lactic acid are also an exfoliating product.

Hope you enjoyed the post!

Hello and Good day everyone!

Today I want to talk about some simple preservation and kitchen scrap tips. With having an interest in sustainability, low waste, eco friendly and growing food for my family it just makes sense to know how to store produce for long term, convenient use and to make the most of my crops and groceries.

I had a few carrots and celery bags I picked up this week for varied food use and figured I'd do a lil post today on one of the ways I preserve carrots.

I don't have a pressure canner, or else I'd make some half pints and pints of carrots for the pantry. Instead I make do with what I have~ which is a freezer, dehydrator, or pickling.

Today im going to focus on freezer method.

You'll wanna take your carrots and wash 'em up. You can let them dry after wash up but its not strictly necessary.

Chop of both ends of the carrot. You can peel your carrots too if desired (save all these bits for later soup stock or to give to your chickens or compost piles) if you have nice leafy greens on your carrots, you can use those greens similar to parsley or as a salad additive. (Chickens enjoy them as well!)

For freezing carrots you'll want to blanch them first.

Blanching is just taking a pot of water, bringing ro a rolling boil and dumping raw veggies in (like carrots, green beans, broccoli spinich, sweet potato greens) the veggies will often go from a almost matte color to a brighter color when ready. It's suggested across media that about 5-10 minutes is enough.

Drain the carrots from the hot water and give them an ice bath (I usually don't have ice so I soak and rinse a few times to bring down the heat in the veggies)

I let the carrots drain and dry a bit, when dry I spread a towel over my baking pan, layer out a layer of carrot, popped it in the freezer.

When frozen, I pull the towel up, roll the carrots round a bit to break any that may be together apart and pack them in the storage container and pop them back into the freezer till needed.

That's it for today's post, short and simple :)

Make Your Own Cosmetics, Get What You Actually Want

Once you've been in zero waste, eco friendly, solarpunk/lunarpunk circles for a while, it's easy to forget the steps you took when you started. There are lots of DIY projects I've been doing for 10+ years now, and I keep doing them because they work (for me). Yet, when I sit back and think "am I doing enough?" I always gloss over the myriad things that have become part of my everyday life.

Making these things won't save the environment, but you'll get products that meet your needs on your terms, will save you money, and you won't have to worry about a company discontinuing your favorites. Plus, it seems like a lot less packaging to just buy a brick of beeswax and toss in some kitchen stuff you already had to make makeup.

Henna

I got really lucky, I always wanted red hair and henna is a natural dye that only comes in red. Well, more of a coppery tone. But, here's the other cool thing: the henna process is anti-fungal and controls dandruff. Half the time, I remember to color my hair because my scalp starts getting itchy 6+ weeks later and I start to get flakes. Coloring my hair takes care of my scalp and I don't need dandruff shampoo to keep it healthy. It's cost-effective, buying high quality henna for a year's worth of color (for my length and thicc hair) is about $60 for 18-months' of materials. I mix it when I need it, and keep the powder in the freezer. Pro-tip, if you or your partner don't like the grassy, hay-like smell of henna, add cardamom or ginger powder to the mix. It doesn't change the color but it'll knock down the scent.

I learned everything I needed to know about Henna for Hair here: http://hennaforhair.com and buy through Catherine's store because I know I'm getting real, quality henna powder.

Oh and a cloth wrap for your hair will let you keep the henna covered without wasting plastic wrap every time you redo your roots. I've been using the same 'turbie twist' wraps for years now. I made them from old t-shirts and they're stained as fuck. Who cares? This is basically their only job.

Carmine Lip Color

No, it isn't vegan. Yes, it's made of bugs. It's also a spectacular color, the insects aren't abused in the process of gathering or raising. They're actually parasites on nopal cactus, they have a simple niche and serve it well. I learned this lip stain recipe from Humblee & Me, and have found that the anti-bacterial doesn't seem to be necessary, ymmv. A 2.5 gram sample pack of carmine from TKB has lasted me almost a year and I wear this almost daily. I find that the glycerin really helps keep my lips from drying out too badly, so I wear my lip stain even when I'm not planning on being seen by other people. I spend about $20 on lip color for a year and that's including the bottles I use to store it (tiny eyedroppers work best imo) and the glycerin. Not quite zero waste but darn close.

Note: I'm still trying to find a simple recipe for black goth lipstick that I like. So far, my attempts have had a nasty texture and aren't worth the trouble.

Eyebrow Fill

My favorite brand of eyebrow liner discontinued the best color I ever found, so I decided to make my own. Beeswax, cocoa powder, activated charcoal, and almond oil made a little pot of eyebrow fill that suits my needs beautifully. Go super light on the charcoal until you know you've got the color you want. My brows are pretty dark but not fully black, so I do a dark chocolate sort of shade. I think I made my last batch about 11 months ago and it's still half full. I use it daily, apply with an angled brush, and it's never given me breakouts or anything. I don't even wash it off, because I am lazy.

Body Powder/Dry shampoo

Growing up in California, I didn't need this stuff. Living in Oregon? Summer would be awful without body powder. It's also a nice way to have a fragrance on. Pour your favorite perfume (I love Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab oils) onto a cotton ball, put that ball in a jar with a bunch of corn starch. Shake. Leave it for a month. You now have scented body powder. It's a decent dry shampoo, too, I just brush it into my dark hair and it disappears.

Tooth Powder

There is NOTHING wrong with using conventional toothpaste if it meets your needs. I have particular reasons for using tooth powder. These include hating the taste of most toothpaste and needing to avoid fluoride because of my particular thyroid condition. (Fluoride isn't bad for everyone! It isn't ideal for everyone. Figure out what you need!) I make my own tooth powder, it works well enough for me and I don't hate brushing my teeth like I used to. 1 part baking soda, 1 part bentonite clay, some ground cloves. Mix it up, keep in a glass jar (metal will bond with the clay, bad things happen, this is why we use glass or plastic for storage). $20 of materials = LOADS of tooth powder.

Cutting Hair

It's way easier than you think. I cut my own hair and I do a graduated bob which is a little more complex than most at-home cuts. I taught myself. I use decent shears (don't use scissors) and a Wahl hair trimmer set. Learn this skill on yourself, and when people find out you can do hair, they'll come to you for their own needs. Great way to provide mutual aid (one of my parents is trans and getting haircuts in a salon would be extremely stressful for her, so I cut her hair and save her money and suffering). You could also do skill trades! I trade haircuts for massages from a massage therapist friend, for example.

Protip: Dust yourself with body powder before cutting hair, it makes the little shards of cut hair way less prone to sticking to you. You'll still want a shower but it'll just be less icky.

Do you normally feel panicked at this time of year? Do you find that your excitement about the festive season is soon followed by an overwhelming feeling of dread and panic? Does the world appear to be getting crazier with each passing day as we get closer to Christmas? The holidays can be a stressful time. From coordinating travel, accommodation, and activities to buying gifts, Christmas can take its toll on even the most organized individual. However, all is not lost. There are plenty of ways that you can make this Christmas more sustainable – and perhaps even reduce your carbon footprint in the process. Here are 9 tips that will help you have a more sustainable Christmas this year and many Christmases to come. Sustainable Christmas is a lot easier than you think. It doesn’t have to be an arduous task of buying second-hand and crafting everything from scratch. There are several simple ways to make your Christmas more sustainable in 2022, and beyond. If you’re like many people, the prospect of planning, organizing, and executing a green Christmas can be overwhelming. However, there are many ways you can make your Christmas much more eco-friendly this year and in future editions. There are many small things you can do to help reduce the impact of your festive season. Here is our complete guide to having a sustainable Christmas… By far the most effective thing you can do for the environment is to reduce your waste and use recyclable materials. A lot of people think that being green means living without luxuries, but this isn’t true at all. You can still have a luxurious Christmas without having a negative impact on the environment. Reduce your waste by using reusable decorations and presents, and using recyclable materials like glass jars, cardboard boxes, and paper.  By buying eco-friendly and certified products, you can make your festive season more sustainable without compromising on quality or luxury. Many people worry that they’ll have to buy cheap, low-quality, eco-friendly products if they want to be more sustainable – but this isn’t true. In fact, many eco-friendly products are better quality than standard, non-eco items.  Don’t buy products with lots of packaging; this is one of the biggest contributors to landfill waste at Christmas. A lot of the products we buy come wrapped in excessive amounts of packaging – often made from non-biodegradable materials like plastic. Next time you go shopping, try to buy products with minimal packaging. If you must buy products with lots of packaging, reuse or recycle them as soon as possible.  Donate any unwanted gifts you receive; whether it’s second-hand clothes, books, or toys. If you receive a gift that you don’t like or will never use, donate it to a charity shop. You can also recommend that your loved ones donate any unwanted gifts to charity. This will help clothe and toy-less children and teenagers across the country. This way, your unwanted gifts can become someone else’s treasured possession. If you’re buying food for your Christmas dinner, choose seasonal produce – it tastes much better! Many people forget that the foods they eat at Christmas are seasonal. Many of the ingredients we buy for our Christmas meals are imported from all over the world, which means they aren’t in season. When foods aren’t in season, they usually have to be transported thousands of miles, which increases their carbon footprint. Buy seasonal produce and you’ll not only help the environment, but you’ll also enjoy your Christmas meal much more. Wrapping paper is usually only used once before being thrown away, so try using fabric to wrap your presents instead. When we were children, wrapping paper was an essential part of Christmas – but today most people wrap their gifts with wrapping paper. Unfortunately, wrapping paper is usually only used once before it ends up in a landfill. Instead, why not use fabric to wrap your gifts? Not only will you help the environment, but you’ll also be able to reuse your fabric next Christmas! 

Make a point of informing your loved ones about why certain gifts are more eco-friendly than others. This will encourage them to continue buying green products in the future. If you’re buying gifts for your family and friends, make a point of informing them about why certain gifts are more eco-friendly than others. For example, if you want to buy a friend a book, make sure you tell them that traditional books are more eco-friendly than ebooks. This way, they’ll be more likely to buy eco-friendly products in the future – and you’ll have helped to encourage the eco-friendly lifestyle!  Reuse decorations year after year; this will help extend their lifespan and reduce the need to manufacture new items every holiday period. If you’ve kept decorations from previous Green Christmases, use them again this year. This way, you’ll be able to extend their lifespan and avoid having to buy new decorations every year. You can also make your own decorations using materials like paper and fabric. This will allow you to get creative and save money at the same time!  5 Tips to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Reduce the waste you create at Christmas This might seem like an obvious one but it is surprising how many people forget about the importance of reducing waste at Christmas. Let’s face it, at Christmas, we all produce more waste than usual.

Travel green Air travel accounts for around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That may not seem like a lot, but when you consider that there are around 1 billion air passengers each year, it’s easy to see how globally significant air travel is as an emissions source. Air travel is also growing at a rapid rate. In fact, it is predicted that the number of passengers flying each year will almost double by 2030, with around 3 billion people expected to fly by the year 2040.

From car-sharing to flying with a low-carbon airline, there are plenty of ways to fly green at this time of year. Buy eco-friendly gifts for your loved ones Christmas is a time for giving and receiving gifts from family and friends. But have you ever considered the impact that the gifts you give will have on the environment?

Unfortunately, Christmas decorations are also a significant factor in the amount of waste produced at Christmas. From Christmas lights to Christmas trees, the decorations that adorn your home at this time of year can have a negative impact on the environment. From the electricity

used to power your Christmas lights to the amount of CO2 released when you chop down a Christmas tree, Christmas decorations can have a negative impact on the environment. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to reduce the environmental impact that your Christmas decorations have on the world this year. Go vegetarian on Christmas day Many people will be roasting a turkey at Christmas this year. However, did you know that the meat and dairy industries have a significant environmental impact?

Thorin boot caps, start to finish

I’d made the pattern for his boot caps available in my shop, but unlike my other pattern packages, it didn’t come with instructions on how to make them. So, here is me fixing that with a quick step-by-step tutorial. :)

Step one, print your pattern, trace it out (twice) onto 10 oz veg-tan:

(The reason that leather is an odd shape is because it was a discarded panel from the Witcher armor. Waste not, want not, I suppose. 🤣)

Cut it out; you can use a utility knife or an exacto knife for this:

Case it, aka dunk it in water a bit until it softens up:

Then you’ll probably want to put it in a plastic bag or something overnight, so that the water can evenly permeate the leather. I wrote a whooooooole big thing on proper casing that’s much too long to retread here, but is worth a read if you’re trying to git gud at leather tooling.

When the leather is well cased, take a stylus (or a ballpoint pen) and trace the design from your pattern piece. The leather should darken where you’ve indented it, an effect called burnishing, that makes your traced design very easy to see:

(And if your design isn’t burnishing well, that’s usually a tip-off that your leather is still much too wet.)

The next step is to use a swivel knife to go over all the lines you traced. I actually forgot to take a picture of this step, but digging around on my computer turned up a very old WIP photo from the same project, showing the carved lines next to the traced lines:

If you haven’t used a swivel knife before, I strongly advise doing a lot of practice on scrap leather before you attempt it on your project -- it’s unintuitive for people who aren’t used to it, and in my opinion it is one of the hardest leatherworking tools to master. On the plus side: this project is entirely straight lines, which makes it much easier.

Once you’ve got your cutlines made, you are going to bevel every single one of them -- outward from the design, inward from the edges of the piece.

It looks kind of complicated at a glance, but technically speaking it’s very simple, since all you’re doing is bevelling. You can do almost the entire thing with a single stamp, a wide checkered beveller (Craftool B971, if you’re buying from Tandy Leather), and switch to a narrower beveller (what’s shown here is a Barry King tool; the closest Craftool equivalent would probably be B936) for getting into a couple of tight crannies.

When your tooling is done, you’ll want to put some texturing on the overall piece, because that will make it look better when it comes time to paint it. I have a mallet I made for exactly this purpose, a cheapo rubber mallet that I pockmarked with a dremel, but you can literally just go outside and find a rock for this step:

Take a rivet hole punch (~2 mm) and punch the holes as shown: 

(Or punch different holes -- this is going to be how you attach them to your shoes, and there are a lot of different ways you could go about that.)

Take your edge beveller and round off the sharp square edges (you’ll do this on both the top side and the underside), as shown below:

Punch stitching holes as shown. If you don’t have one of these punches, you can poke the holes with with an awl instead, it’ll just be slower.

Take your knife again and carefully cut at a 45 degree angle from the top of your stitching holes to the edge of the leather. This is what is going to allow them to come together to form a tidy right angle:

Mark the lines where it’s going to fold, and do something similar there. The key is that we’re removing material to make it easier to bend the leather, and make for sharper angles in the folds.

Time to dye! For this (and other armor pieces that get gilded afterward) I use Eco-Flo Waterstain in black. Leave the angled edges you cut undyed, because that will help them adhere better when it comes time to glue:

And before you leave them to dry, pre-fold them into the final shape you want -- it will put less strain on the glue, and folding leather after it’s dry can cause it to crack.

When the dye is dry, apply contact cement to the angled edges:

Wait 15~20 minutes for the contact cement to set, and then firmly press the edges together, being careful to have them correctly aligned before you do. (Because you only get one shot with contact cement, and if you set it crooked, you’ll have to pry them apart, scrub the glue off, and try again.)

Time to stitch up the corners, because glue is almost never meant to be the ONLY thing holding leather together. Start like so, with 12″ of waxed black thread and two blunt needles:

And then you just kinda.... sew up the line. I’m not sure how to explain it, just stick needles in holes in a way that makes sense.

From the outside:

From the inside:

Then tie off a knot with your loose ends, and clip them down to like 3/4″. With the tie-off at the top rather than the bottom, it’s not likely to come loose because there’s no strain being put on it at that point.

Then, because those glued-together edges are currently very ugly, you’ll want to take them down with some sandpaper, or a knife if you’ve got a steady hand. I use the sanding drum on a dremel, to make them level and smooth them out:

And then you’ll need to hit those edges with another quick coat of the black dye, and buff them smooth, which I also forgot to take a picture of. Fortunately this step is easy: edges are undyed, so dye them.

Very last step is to put the metal color on them. In all the reference pics they look like a very muddy bronze, and I found a great mimic for that in Rub n Buff’s “Spanish Copper.”

It’s very simple to apply, you just coat your finger with a very small amount of it, and then dab/rub it lightly over your surface. It gilds the raised areas without getting into the crevices, which does a brilliant job bringing out the textural detail in your work.

That said, if you don’t have that product and don’t want to acquire it, you can dry-brush it with your acrylic paint of choice.

And then you’re done -- le voila, Thorin boot caps!

Design and Discover Unique Candle

In today's bustling world, creating a sanctuary of peace and comfort in our living spaces has never been more important. Candles, with their gentle glow and soothing scents, play a pivotal role in this quest for tranquillity and ambience. The market is flooded with countless candle brands, each promising a unique sensory experience.

But for those seeking a more personal touch, the emerging trend of designing candles online offers an enticing avenue to creativity. This article embarks on a journey through the enchanting world of top candle brands and the innovative realm of custom candle design online.

The Enchanting World of Candle Brands

The Rise of Artisanal Candles

The allure of artisanal candles lies in their uniqueness and commitment to quality. Unlike mass-produced counterparts, these candles often use natural waxes, such as soy or beeswax, and are infused with complex, pure essential oil blends. Artisanal candle brands prioritize sustainability, from eco-friendly wax to recyclable packaging, making them a favourite among environmentally conscious consumers.

Benefits of Quality Candles

Investing in high-quality candles means enjoying longer burn times, a cleaner burn with fewer soot emissions, and the absence of toxic byproducts. Moreover, quality candles often feature more nuanced, layered scents that are designed to unfold slowly, enveloping your space in a fragrance that enhances your mood or complements the occasion.

Spotlight on Popular Candle Brands

Brands like Diptyque, Jo Malone, Yankee Candle and Innerfyre Co have set the benchmark in the candle industry. Diptyque is celebrated for its luxurious fragrances and chic Parisian heritage, Jo Malone for its elegant, customizable scent combinations, Yankee Candle for its vast range of scents and accessibility and Innerfyre Co is well known for its eco-conscious candle brands.

Each brand offers something unique, from the depth of their fragrances to the beauty of their presentation.

Unleash Your Creativity by Designing Candles Online

The Appeal of Custom Candles

The trend towards customizing personal items has reached the candle market, allowing individuals to express their creativity and create products that perfectly suit their preferences. Whether it's for personal use, a thoughtful gift, or event favours, designing candles online adds a personal touch that mass-produced items cannot match.

How to Design Candles Online

Designing your candle is a simple yet rewarding process. You can grab your own candle-making kits online or at the nearest available store.

Start by choosing your base wax—soy wax is popular for its clean burn and environmental friendliness.

Next, select your scent; essential oils can add a therapeutic dimension to your candle, whether you're seeking relaxation, an energy boost, or a memory trigger.

Finally, choose your colour and container, keeping in mind the decor of the space where the candle will be used.

Tips for Designing Your Candle

When creating your candle, consider the mood you want to evoke. For relaxation, lavender or chamomile scents are perfect; for a refreshing atmosphere, citrus or mint may be ideal. Think about the colour psychology—soft blues and greens for calm, vibrant reds and oranges for energy. And remember, the container is part of the experience; select one that complements your space and can be repurposed later.

The Added Value of Essential Oils in Candles

Synergy Between Candles and Essential Oils

Candles infused with essential oils do more than just smell good; they offer therapeutic benefits that can enhance your wellbeing. The right blend can aid in stress relief, improve sleep quality, and even boost your mood. This synergy between the visual and olfactory senses can transform any room into a haven of peace or a vibrant space of energy and creativity.

Best Essential Oils for Candles

For those seeking relaxation, lavender and chamomile are unmatched. Peppermint and eucalyptus can clear your mind and invigorate your senses. For a cosy, comforting atmosphere, vanilla and cinnamon are perfect. Incorporating these oils into your custom-designed candles ensures a product that's not only beautiful to look at but also beneficial to your well-being.

The world of candles offers an endless spectrum of possibilities, from exploring the exquisite offerings of top candle brands to diving into the creative process of designing your candles online.

Whether you're drawn to the artisanal charm of established brands or the personalized touch of a custom-made candle, there's a perfect candle out there for every space, mood, and occasion.

Hey acti, do you have tips on how to friendly disengage on the uptenth time people tell you their whole tedious ten minute "but I'm flexi and only eat local, eco friendly, fair trade, super amazing special meat twice a week and miraculously only buy eggs and milk from the most well cared for animals ever" speech when you just have no nerves to deal with it. I know advocating would be the ideal way, but sometimes my depression has the best of me and I just cannot deal with people clearly wanting me to give them absolution by saying "you already do sooo much, yay!" Thank you so much in advance!

Sometimes it just isn't the right time to advocate, whether that's due to your own energy levels or the context you find yourself in. In cases like that, I generally just acknowledge in a way that doesn't invite further conversation. A simple nod without saying anything, or a non-commital 'cool' is usually enough to end a conversation like that.

You'll need to approach it in your own style, but a vague acknowledgement that they've spoken without engaging with the actual subject is usually the best way to do it without being rude.
