How to get a spring break glow up

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

Today covering: life, beauty and mental.

Spring break it's like so short, but we still have to work on it, not to say it, but my First glow up happened during spring break and I'm telling you, boy if it did take a turn-

But it's not time for a juicy gossipy storytime , it's time to show you girls how to shine after the winter blues and start working for your summer self!

୨୧life୨୧

Let's start with life! How do you want your life to be from now? Try to think about a movie type of life, for this task you need a journal(a simple notebook can do it) , your phone and (optional) a pair of headphones and earphones, we're going to start manifesting by listening to subliminals and writing into your diary like you're living that main character life.

What you write doesn't need to be one of those delusional diary entries, but make your boring life sound epic by describing everything in details and giving it a dramatic turn, use your feelings!

୨୧workout୨୧

Ofc this has to be on the list, for workouts I suggest you rope jumping(works like wonder), pilates, Cycling at home(elle Woods type of way) and yoga for when you have little time and are stressed. Since spring is here you might as well take advantage of this, go for a walkkk, walking will be extra pretty with all the flowers blooming

୨୧beauty୨୧

What I mean for beauty it's becoming pretty to yourself without focusing too much on other people's ideal, focus in what makes you feel good, maybe you like flowers, then get flower nails, hair clips, tops etc… you might like the Shoujo aesthetic or the acubi or mcbling or y2k, it doesn’t matter add what you like to your overall aesthetic.

୨୧skincare୨୧

Stay Basic, you don't need that extra complicated skincare, just sunscreen, moisturizer, hydrating cream and a good cleanser

୨୧diet୨୧

Try to consume for fruits and veggies as the season comes up! And drink plenty of water, which also benefits your skin, also make sure to incorporate fibres and proteins

୨୧make up୨୧

Try new lip combos and maybe for creative looks like flower or butterfly make up, use make up as a for of expression! Bit if you want to use it for your physical appearance, just use blush, highlighter and clear mascara!

୨୧wardrobe୨୧

Time for shopping, crop top season it's back so invest into crop tops and light dresses, if you’re a more comfy girly girl, invest in a light pair of pants, in Italian we say “pantaloni in lino”, a very good and light material, spring long sleeves and baby doll tops.

୨୧mindset୨୧

“I don’t care…you’re you I am me” - jang wonyoung “be better or stay bitter” - thewizardliz start adopting this mindsets, there are a lot of videos on it, I also suggest you to watch TikTok’s compilations for motivation, this is a great time to shadow work and integrate new habits

"...Andor is a story in which we know exactly what is going to happen, eventually, because we’ve already seen Rogue One, which left many of us with several questions about how exactly Cassian Andor got where he ended up. Wicked, the book, is a story in which we know the ending (the musical, well, that’s a different story). Game of Thrones walked familiar territory for many of us, up to a point. Every retelling, to some degree, is a story in which the reader knows the ending, depending on their familiarity with the original tale (and the liberties the author does or doesn’t take). Arthur dies. Greek gods and goddesses get up to countless shenanigans. The evil queen/stepmother/witch is defeated. Can you spoil those? Is a spoiler different than basic story knowledge? "I don’t actually want to argue about spoilers. Especially not the week after Marvel gleefully spoiled its own movie in a way that implied that if you were a real fan, you would have gone to said movie already and thus not been spoiled. Spoilers exist, but they’re different for everyone, and a detail is not a spoiler. I think my definition of “spoiler” might be something like “a thing that, once you know it, changes how you experience the whole.” Not necessarily a twist, or a reveal, but a thing you can’t shove back out of your brain. Is it always a thing the storyteller presumably didn’t want you to know? Is the element of surprise part of it? Can that thing still be interesting, even without the surprise? "You can only experience a story for the first time once. But maybe there’s too much emphasis on the relative purity of that first time. It comes back to that impossible question of what each reader wants to know about a book before reading it. I’ve had moments where I had no interest in a book until someone told me a specific detail or angle, unmentioned in the cover copy or reviews, that was right up my alley. I know I’ve had this moment. But whatever book that was has just become part of my mental library, the details forgotten. It mattered at the time. It’s irrelevant now. Details are weird like that."

How to girlboss up in 2025 °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

2024 is slowly but surely closing its doors to us, and 2025 is about to welcome us, you might have tried everything in your power to improve this year, but you might still feel far away from your goals or you simply have no sense of direction, through this post learn how you can upgrade yourself and get closer to becoming the best version of yourself this new year! And girlboss up your way to 2025!

୨୧ Review this past year ୨୧

Check your old new year resolutions, go trough your journal, watch how you progressed this year, one goal that you MUST have is learn from your mistakes and take accountability, this is the best way to build your self concept and confidence, owing to your mistakes without making it your fault.

୨୧ Vision board ୨୧

A classic, nothing beats a good vision board, sometimes you don't have specific goals in mind, having a visual reference can help you clar your mind, decide if you want a digital or physical vision board, check the next guides to see the different versions that you can create.

୨୧ Clean your socials ୨୧

Are you still following people that are not contributing in a positive way in your life, that influencer that posts only about her body? that Tiktok girl that became famous for just begin pretty? Do you still have pics of your ex, that friend that dragged you though hell or those school book pages? Time to clear up!

୨୧ Set your goals ୨୧

Now your mind is clearer, so how do you set new goals for this year? Write minimum 3 big goals that you want to accomplish, example: hit the gym, travel, get my money up, this will be the themes you'll be actively work in 2025, then make categories like: health, social, professional. Then make smaller general goals for the whole year for each of the categories, during the year each month you'll set monthly, weekly and daily goals, to keep track.

୨୧ Take action ୨୧

Your goals are nothing without you! One thing that I learned this year is that everything happens for a reason, if you end with a certain result, understand that you played a part in it, the rest just unfolded, so take things in your hands and direct your wishes towards the optimal ending.

Ciao bellissime!! Thank you for reading part 1 on how to glow up this 2025, I really hope this guide will help you archiving that mindset for 2025, it’s time to jump into this new journey, see you soon next year!!

ok another fallen london essay-ramble: numbers!!!!!! (im sorry)

so numerology has for a while been a pretty significant part of occult traditions and practices. the concept of attributing supernatural significance to numbers is (if im not mistaken) as old as ancient egypt if not older, but don't quote me on that. also ancient egypt isn't really a single specific civilization so uhm. whatever. anyways the point is that its old and has a storied history and hit 2009 browser game Fallen London has its own interesting number significance that i want to talk about and maybe have some sort of thesis on idk. the recurrent numbers that ill be focusing on are three, four, and seven

four and three are less obvious because they mostly show up from a mechanical standpoint rather than a narrative standpoint. also, when analyzing numbers as potential motifs, lower integers can be difficult as they could just be coincidence. but i want to talk about them anyway and we'll start with three. three occurs in a few places: there are three aesthetic stats (respectable, bizarre, and dreaded), three defensive stats (insubstantial, innerent, and neathproofed), three gender categories, three accomplices allowed in hearts game, three integrated factions, many carousels have three cosmetic or reward options. these all seem to be primarily out of convenience rather than intending to send some sort of clear message, as three is a good number for these sorts of character choices. it has all the simplicity of a binary while allowing for a bit more variance and interplay. gender moment. on the topic of gender, the reason there are three genders is similar; male and female are the predominant gender roles of society, with nonbinary as the catch-all category for anything that doesnt fit those two definitions. i don't need to spell that out but what im trying to say is there being a nonbinary option isn't the product of some strange worldbuilding esoterica or anything it’s just based. most of these are probably just there, though it is important to note that the defenses, which started as just neathproofed, were expanded to three categories. its probably nothing.

where it starts being something is with fallen london's equivalent to dnd alignment, the chessboard colors. the black represents revolution and the liberation, the white signifies the status quo and the red represents self interest. the conflict between liberationists and the judgements is a really significant plotline in fallen london and its associated games, which definitely makes three an important number here. i do think this isnt a case of three being an ultra special number, though, but rather because of the aforementioned benefits of having three categories. even so, we see it here in the lore, and we see it again with the loom in irem. i actually just recently realized that the different kinds of warp you gather in irem correspond to the three chess colors, bombazine warp representing dark and mysterious futures, silken representing peaceful and lawful futures, and sinewy as a catch all for the weirder futures. most of what i said about the chess colors applies here as well, but this is another good example of the number three making its way into the lore. On the topic of irem, the naturalist’s storyline has three distinct endings, so there’s also that

four is a little more purposeful, in my eyes. there are four main stats, four ambitions, four major menaces, four starting areas. these all very likely due to the choice to have four main stats, as each menace roughly corresponds to a stat, and the ambitions and areas correlate to a specific stat. there are also four default ships and four advanced ships, and four options one’s hearts desire (though there are five treasures). one area where the number four was actually pretty significant was the most recent estival, the coilheart games. there were four major events, with four competitors in each round, and the door to the sixth coil had four sigils. within the sixth coil, there were four burdens you could acquire for special rewards and four areas with their own distinct sub areas. most of these also correspond to the four stats, aside from the competitors in each round, but its interesting nonetheless. you could also make note of the four layers of the labyrinth of tigers that have regular access to humans, but that's pretty weak. If i can be timely (because i forgot this when i initially wrote this mess) hallowmas features a total of four masks and masques, but only three are accessible on any given year, so these numbers absolutely cross over. Three and four also overlap with the aforementioned ships: four total ships, but only three are worth having. Only for the default ships tho i love the fruits of the zee ships equally. But i think the most interesting fact about these two numbers, that points to them possibly being intentional to the narrative of fallen london and not just convenient to the mechanics, is that three and four add to seven. speaking of

im going to be honest if you’re a fallen london player then i dont think i need to explain why seven is significant to fallen london. its seven. shes an icon. seven is the number. but ill talk about it anyway it appears everywhere both on its own and as seventy seven and seven hundred seventy seven and seven thousand seven hundred seventy seven and seventy--- anyway. i havent played through smen or sunless skies, so i dont know the full significance of the number seven, but i can speculate about why its so significant (apologies if i get this wrong). seven is the number after six. fascinating i know. but six has a special degree of significance in symbology and esoterica. it s a number thats significant to the abrahamic religions, which are for better or worse foundational to modern european culture; the world is said to have been made in six days, with the seventh day for rest, and humans were made on the sith day. the star of david and the seal of solomon that features an early instance of said star is six pointed. its a multiple of three, and three was very important to the (specifically christian) scholars and theologians of antiquity because of the trinity. and there is, of course, the mark of the beast, another specifically christian symbol, a brand placed upon the heads of the wicked during the end times. moving outside of the spiritual, six is considered a perfect number, and is the atomic number of carbon, the building block of life. these two arent as relevant, but im having fun.

anyway, i feel like itd be redundant to go through even a sample of the instances of seven in fallen london, its literally everywhere. seven cities, seven players of the marvellous, seven coils to the labyrinth of tigers, i think knife and candle had some seven stuff going on, seven seeking candles, etc. its like i said, seven is the number. its neat! Im sure id get further understanding of its significance if i did smen but i dont have the time to rn ill get around to it eventually. Or give up and read the wiki idc

once again im not sure i have a point here, but i do really enjoy the way these numbers recur throughout the game. it gives a special weight to these numbers, gives them a character and significance. i dont see many games use numbers in this way, which is fair; they’re a pretty easy thing to overlook in that regard. but its a factor that, in a small way, helps to give fallen london its unique and odd personality that is so captivating. get it? factor? like math,,,,,,,

Anyway if there isnt one already we need an exceptional story about some weirdo being obsessed with the relationship between four and three. Make it canon. Thats the thesis ok bye lmk if i missed anything <3

ur so right about the dark puckered hole bit tho. it was fucking hilarious. My sex-repulsed asexuality was temporarily overriden by how fucking funny that shit was

So glad you agree with me!! Honestly I was surprised by the sheer number of people who seemed to hate it but maybe I'm just desensitised to the psychic damage you get from reading badly written smut

Looking forward to the next chapter lmao
