lil’ pagan tip/idea- dedicate a journal to your deity!

a journal can be useful for a lot of reasons. not only it is an easy way to feel closer to your deity or deities, but it can be super convenient if you’re a person who travels a lot or need to worship in secret.

things to write or put in your journal could include:

  • prayers
  • pressed flowers/leaves/herbs
  • sketches or doodles of things that remind you of them
  • devotional poems or art pieces
  • song lyrics
  • experiences you’ve had with them
  • dreams they’ve sent you
  • recipes
  • stickers
  • spells / rituals (especially ones you have done or would want to do with them)
  • photos
  • notes on offerings and devotional acts
  • list of crystals, herbs, colors, etc. you associate with them

and these are only a few ideas :)

the journal can also work as a mini-altar that you can put offerings on! since taking care of myself is one of the ways i honor my deity, sometimes i’ll place a glass of water or juice on the journal i have and i can keep it next to me to sip from while i’m doing something. again this can be really helpful if you travel a lot, worship discreetly, or if you don’t have a lot of space for a full altar.

additionally, you can dedicate a few pens or markers to your deity too (because everything is better with fun colors!)

Night Routine for Insomniacs

for my fellow insomniacs who struggle with sleeping: some ideas to improve your night routine and sleep

How to get in the mood:

  1. Light your candles
  2. brew yourself your good night tea or drink (when I was younger I always drank hot milk with honey)
  3. lower your lights and close your curtains
  4. play relaxing music
  5. prepare your bedroom (windows open or closed, hot water bottle in bed, etc.)

best ideas for resting:

  1. watch an episode of the show you're currently watching or watch a film from your watchlist (because otherwise you'll never gonna see it anyway)
  2. connect with your partner or the people you love <3 these people make life worth living and deserve your attention and time!
  3. this is non negotiable: read at least 1-2 chapter, or if you're not into reading listen to an audiobook or podcast
  4. do some yoga or stretching
  5. journaling

Preparing is Key:

  1. Lay out your outfits for the next day, pack your bag, prepare your gym bag, declutter of your clothing laying around - cleaning and preparing your space in order to get these tasks out of your mind for a good night sleep and a fresh start in the morning
  2. Update your planner and to do list for the next day
  3. set your alarms to get up on time
  4. turn off your devices! if you are using your phone as an alarm clock set it into flight mode or create a night mode for yourself
  5. put on your bed clothes

Night Skin Care Routine:

  1. Remove Make Up with oil-based Makeup Remover
  2. Cleanse face (don't forget about your neck and ears) with water-based cleanser (preferably the same cleanser you use in the morning)
  3. Exfoliate your skin or use a face mask, massage your face while applying or try a sheet mask and use a face roller get the best benefits
  4. use a toner afterwards to prep your skin for following
  5. acid treatment and serums
  6. if you're having break outs you can apply spot treatment
  7. eye patches and eye cream
  8. night cream or night mask

Your skincare routine in the evening should moisturize your face so that your skin is soft and glowing after waking up.

Ultimate hack for soft lips in the morning: you can create a lip scrub with sugar and honey and afterwards apply a thick layer of vaseline on your lips - it's a low budget game changer.

sleeping beauty tips:

  1. brush your teeth before going to bed
  2. spray your pillow with lavendar or diffuse some calming essential oils
  3. listen to sleep meditation
  4. absolutely no phone, tv or any devices for sleeping!
Have a good night rest angels!

okay but saying “i wish i had known you sooner” — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.
