“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:

quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.
definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.
lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.
maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.
photos
take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.
illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.
newspaper clippings from the day.
tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.
postcards
records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.
rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.
count. there’s a scene in the movie Caroline (2009) where Caroline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.
mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.
collages
pressed leafs and flowers
your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.
recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.
stickers
comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

i love letterboxd because there are so many lists that cater to very specific, yet somehow universal moods. here are my favorites:

120 lesbian films to watch before saying all lesbian cinema is the same

the absolute beauty in everyday’s mundanity

add spice to your romance

autumnal harvest - movies that give you that warm feeling of fall and its surroundings

befriending the lyrical loneliness…

candy cinema

chaos, loneliness, madness, and desapair in the apathetic world of capitalism

crises of childhood

distinctive films that fill the void when you’re lonely or completely destroy you when you’re happy

film recs: female character studies

films that are kind

girlhood

horror as a vehicle

melancholy as a breathtaking aesthetic emotion

movies where female friendships are the scariest concept on earth

“nothing happens” yeah but the vibes

quiet little female character studies

quietly brilliant

snuggly wuggly flicks for anxiety driven chicks

soft horror

two lost souls find comfort

what we talk about when we talk about love

A list of Lolita TaoBao shops

I’ve received a lot of questions asking for links to Lolita shops on TaoBao but a lot of the lists I find I don’t really like. They’re very extensive which is great, but many of them also include links to shops that are low quality, don’t sell Lolita anymore, or just look sketchy overall with stolen photos and all and the last thing I want to do is recommend a shop to my followers and have them buy something that isn’t good quality. So I’ve compiled this list of shops which I have done research on to make sure the quality is decent. I realize it’s not a huge list, but I weeded out any shops I found to have bad quality, stolen photos, and an abundance of bad reviews so I hope you all find it helpful! (Keep in mind that like many brands, not all of these TaoBao shops are exclusively Lolita. Many of them carry other styles as well.)

Dream of Lolita (Quality is hit or miss but I added it due to it’s popularity for replicas)
