Pov: she is a Sagittarius 🏹

Sagittarius girls are known for their optimism and honesty. They loves freedom and spontaneity. They are very caring persons but because of their need to be free, they are often afraid to fall in love.

It is not easy to get to her heart but if do she will be the best companion in your life. She will be trying new, wild things with you and see new places with you

She is made of falling stars✨ and cupid’s arrow🏹

I’m sure you get this question a lot, but what are your best tips to starting your own tumblr self care diary ? 💕

This is actually the first time I've ever got asked this! I can think of a few tips that I kept in mind when I created this blog.

Be authentic. For me, I use this as a safe space to be myself without fear of judgment. And I find it helps me to be honest and open and true to who I am, as it's even helped me to become more confident in my actual life!

Be mindful of your online presence. It depends on the level of anonymity you want, but i try to be mindful of making my identity known. it's the anonymous aspect that's helped me feel more comfortable being my true self.

Be comfortable. Only post content that you are comfortable with sharing and that makes you happy. I have no problem using aestheic pinterest photos, and keeping a theme because it makes me happy and I feel comfortable posting my life with limited details.

Have fun with it! For me, my blog is a form of self expression and I love the way I've curated the aesthetics of my blog to match my interests. I tend to dress a little edgier in person, and I'm an aspiring gym girly, but I love makeup and shopping and kpop and anime. I'm a very multifaceted person and I enjoy sharing those bits of myself online.

Remember this is for you. Don't feel bad for not getting as many likes or reboots or comments because this is for you. When I decided to start my blog as it is now, I had 7 followers. But I didn't care because this was something for me. And now I have over 1200 followers, and im so grateful for this community. This is a safe space I helped create for myself, and I'm just so happy I made the decision to start posting. I appreciate everyone who interacts with my content and who supports and encourages me. It always makes my day, but I never forget that this blog is an extension of myself.

I hope this was helpful! Good luck on your self care diary journey, I wish you the absolute best, and I hope you have the most fun and enjoyment with creating that space for yourself. <3

There are no daily check in updates for April 10th, 11th, or today. Life got rough, and today's going to be super busy. I'll try to post a check in for Saturday once (if) life calms back down.

Depop Shop!

hey girlies 🩷

I am trying to save money to help continue pursuing my college/university education as well as move into another rental at the end of the year and keep up with my health insurance payments and even just being able to buy groceries sometimes. So, I’ve started uploading things to my depop shop! Currently I have a handful of pairs of shoes that I’ve never worn/worn lightly that I am selling, and I will be uploading some clothes as well, and maybe some other things that I decide I won’t need. My depop does have a nickname similar to my first name on it, but I’m really hoping to get some extra money from this. Please reblog to help a girl out!!!

my link is:

feel free to send me messsages about anything I have posted and keep in mind I will be uploading more things soon! Will open up to worldwide shipping if necessary!

thank you lovelies 🩷

Daily Check-in September 10, 2023 🎀

I am so tired!!! This weekend has worn me out. I worked almost 9 hours on Friday, 13 hours on Saturday, and about 6 hours today, and I'm scheduled for another 9 hours at my job tomorrow. I'm so happy that I'm getting money for the things I need to buy but I'm so tired now.

Anywho, onto today's breakdown:

🩷 What I Ate Today:

Brunch - Two cheese breadsticks and half a slice of pepperoni pizza w 8oz of Dr pepper

After Work - One bowl of spicy Ramen w some fiesta blend cheese mixed in

Dinner - One home grilled cheeseburger and some baked French fries w ketchup and a can of Dr pepper

Extra - Three cups of coffee and a lot of water

It's not my best, but I'm tired, and I needed the energy. Hopefully, I can have something healthy tomorrow, like a smoothie or something for breakfast.

🩷 Personal Goals Achieved Today -

Did two loads of laundry (did not put away yet)

Showered and washed hair after work

Took out my trash (bedroom and bathroom)

Washed pillowcases and put back on my pillows

Planned out the upcoming week

Planned tomorrow mornings workout!!

I am planning on easing back into working out now that my back feels better. I'm trying to focus on some easier workouts that won't make it easy to re injure myself. I'm so excited to get back into my routine for the morning!

🩷 Productive Academic Accomplishments -

took and passed my PSYC Ch 3 Quiz

Passed the first 6/16 modules for a training certificate for my PSYC class

Almost completed my PSYC Chapter 3 Notes

Planned out homework for the week

🩷 Song of the Day - Workin Hard by Fujii Kaze

I was recommended to check this song out by a fellow blog, and it was the best decision I made, I absolutely love this song!! I would tag them, but I'm so sleepy that I don't wanna tag the wrong one!

I feel like today was definitely a good day to go easy on myself, work and productivity wise. I didn't want to stress myself out and I was successful, I think. Still trying to get my nutrition in order but it will all come together in time. I'm here for the journey to my best self, not some end goal. I never want to stop improving myself or learning.

I'm falling asleep as I type this, but I will be posting about my Japanese language goals tomorrow so stay tuned!

Til next time, lovelies 🩷
