*crawls in and throws things* Hi!! I've been busy and tired, so not much time for drawing, but here's sketches I made during the summer while drawing with my friend! I'm still busy, but with my son back in school, I really want to try and get back into art when I have free time, but the moment I have free time, I'm just a potato and play video games! OKAY BYE

Glow up with me ! ❣˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

brush your teeth & use a tongue scraper first thing in the morning

drink a full glass of water with a pinch of himalayan or sea salt and add a little bit of lemon. note: If you're gonna add lemon use a straw to avoid damaging your teeth

DIY milk face mask: cool trick to give your skin that instant glow. start off by simply pouring raw milk in an ice tray and allow it to freeze. take an ice cube, rub it on your skin for 3-4 minute. then gently massage your face, do this just before you sleep to wake up to a brighter and fresher face.

try hot & cold gel bead eye mask with collagen pearls:  soothe your eyes by heating up (better sleep, decongests sinuses, better blood flow to eye area) or cooling down (soothes tired, reduces dark circles and under-eye puffiness) increasing blood circulation.

use a gua sha and a face roller, it is essential to choose a high-quality, cold-pressed oil, preferably organic. I recommend to use argan or jojoba oil.

buy a water filter !! once the impurities are removed from your tap water it’s much easier for you to achieve clear and vitalized skin

Give a little massage at the end of the day, your body will be grateful! Improves blood circulation while relaxes your stress levels. (I'll be posting soon different kind of massage, trigger points and ways to give yourself a massage more easiliy w objects)

Healing power of waves

Listening to the sea can provide numerous scientifically-backed benefits, particularly through its influence on the brain and body:

1. Stress Reduction and Cortisol Levels:

Research has shown that natural sounds, including the sound of the sea, can reduce levels of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone. Lower cortisol levels are associated with reduced stress and anxiety .

2. Parasympathetic Nervous System Activation:

The sound of waves can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for 'rest and digest' activities. This can lead to a state of relaxation and calmness by reducing the heart rate and promoting a sense of well-being .

3. Alpha Wave Production:

Studies have found that natural sounds, such as the sea, can increase the production of alpha brain waves. These waves are linked to a relaxed, yet alert mental state, often associated with meditative and restful experiences.

4. Improved Sleep Quality:

The consistent and rhythmic sounds of the ocean can mask other noises that might disturb sleep. White noise from ocean sounds can enhance sleep quality by creating a stable auditory environment that aids in falling asleep and staying asleep .

5. Pain Management:

Listening to nature sounds, including the sea, has been found to aid in pain management. The calming effect can reduce the perception of pain and the need for pain medication, making it a useful non-pharmacological intervention in medical settings .

6. Cognitive and Emotional Benefits:

Natural sounds can improve mood and cognitive performance. They have been associated with increased positive affect and better task performance, possibly due to their ability to restore mental fatigue and enhance concentration .

7. Physiological Relaxation:

Ocean sounds can lower blood pressure and heart rate, contributing to a state of physical relaxation. This effect is partly due to the soothing nature of the sounds, which can counteract the body's stress response .

Nightbunny here!

It's summer here in Italy, and the heat waves are challenging our mood and inner peace while there are still many things to do.

To find relief and rejuvenation, many Italians love to go and enjoy the sea.

As spending time by the sea can improve your mood and overall well-being, trust me, a trip to the beach can be even to you a simple yet powerful way to boost your mental and physical health during this sweltering season.

Let's all meet at the seaside these hot days!🍋✨🌇

Where to start ?

Such a basic question and yet so many answers. At the beginning of your journey, you'll find yourself with a whole lot of motivation, goals and dreams, so you may feel kinda lost as to where you're supposed to start.

1. Know what you want.

It may sound kind of cliche, and stupid, but really, what do you want ? Yes you wanna be successful, but doesn't everyone want the same thing ? Be precise and give the details. What does success mean to you ? How does the highest version of you look like ? What's her self-concept like ? How does she dress ? Is she more classy or street wear ? Mysterious or a ray of sunshine ? Avoid following the trends. For example, lately the "dark feminine aesthetic" has been taking over tiktok and pinterest, and no matter how cool it might seem, it might not be your cup of tea at the end of the day. Do not to strive to become someone you won't enjoy being. Don't try to be liked by everyone or try to be the heart of the parties when you genuinely enjoy being alone more and have very few friends and acquaintances. And don't try to be "mysterious and dark" when you're actually someone who laughs a lot and who's socially attractive. You can also make pinterest boards with specific facial features you want, with the body type you want, the vibe you want in general. Or, you can keep a journal and divide your life into different aspects (physical attractiveness, intelligence, mindset...), and go into details in each aspect.

2. Create a base routine.

What's a base routine ? That's basically a simple, yet achievable and productive routine you're going to follow, and prioritize over any habit you want to add to your life. So for example, I don't have much time in the morning, so my base routine mainly focuses on after school (your base routine could be about all day, you do you), and it looks like this :

45 min of maths

1 hour of other school work

15 minutes on Duolingo

Learning one new page of spanish vocabulary

Listening to my beauty subliminal playlist 2x

Listening to my specific feature subliminal playlist 3x

Brush my teeths

Affirm and meditate

Go to sleep

As you can see, my base routine is literally SO simple. Every two months, i may add more stuff to my base routine. The goal is to prioritize this routine over any other new habit you wanna add. For example, let's say i wanna start working out every day for 1 hour, and the first day i started, i found myself with no time to work out, which is normal, since I'm still discovering about what works and what doesn't for me, but I'm not going to ruin my base routine or not do one of the habits in it, just for the sake of a newly formed one.

3. Create an alter-ego.

Really basic, but you're going to create a sort of character in your mind, give it a name (mine's name is Abla 😉). This alter-ego is everything you wanna be, so everything you wrote about in step 1, and you're going to start acting like her. Everytime you're feeling lazy, or confused, ask yourself "What would she do ?" (she being your alter-ego). Slowly, you're going to morph into her, and don't hesitate to go for it and exaggerate.

4. Find out about what you're supposed to do.

Divide your life into aspects. I personally, have divided mine into 6 aspects :

Physical attractiveness (face, body, hair, voice, scent, style)

Intellectual development (knowledge (psychology, body language, science...), language learning, chess)

Mindset (confidence, self-love, self-concept, self-worth, discipline)

Skills (cooking, endurance, baking....)

Spiritual life (religion, meditation, mindfulness, healing)

Personal achievements (writing a book, best at my promotion, become president of a club)

That's how i divided my life, now take the time to divide yours, and identify what habits you're supposed to follow in order to improve in each aspect. For example, to improve your appearance, you may have to start a skincare routine, so that's one of the habits.

5. Declutter your space.

Your phone, your room, your desk, your locker, your wardrobe everything. Change your phone theme, block people, delete unnecessary pics and screenshots, donate clothe you don't need, clean your locker. Have a rebirth in a clean and organized space.

So that's it for this post, hope it was helpful, bye my loves.
