Sunshine Happiness Spell

🌞

A quick and easy spell to send happiness & good fortune to yourself or another.

tiny piece of dried orange peel (i find it best if it had been previously dried in the sun as an offering😉), for happiness

permanent marker, for writing

citrine & clear quartz (or any sun crystals)

representation of recipient (can be a photo or anything of significance that identifies who is receiving this joy)

lighter

cauldron / fireproof tray

sigil of good-fortune

To be performed at high noon on a clear, sunny day. ☀️

Arrange an altar dedicated to the recipient & the Sun.

Inscribe the recipient’s initials on one side of the orange peel, and a good-fortune sigil on the inside.

Proceed to safely burn the orange peel. Ask the powerful Father Sun to bring happiness and luck to this person. Be excited for them! Allow the photo of the recipient pass through the smoke. Send Loving Kindness.

After the orange peel is completely burned, smile up at the Sun, and know that He is ready to send that energy to the recipient as soon as they next touch His light.

So that’s it! Easy-peasy, right? This was such a joyful spell to work on, and I love how quickly this one works.

Cheers,

Sage☀️ 🏹

Something I struggle with is actually starting my journey. I have so many areas that I want to upgrade in and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. Do you have any advice on that? Thank you!

how to organize your level up journey 🤍

1. take out a piece of paper (or type but it’s better to write things down on paper), and write down each life area (or the ones that you want to change). these include (but not limited to): and make sure you leave a lot of room under each one, probably taking one piece of paper for every life area instead of just using one sheet of paper.

school

work/career

finances

romantic relationships

family

friendships

religion/spirituality

health/fitness

physical appearance

recreational/bucket list

lifestyle

2. leave space under whichever “life areas” you want to level up in and then write your goals. i suggest 1-3 goals under each, but no more than 5. you don’t want to overwhelm yourself even more. an example of this could look like:

1. physical appearance

- i want to grow longer hair

- i want to clear my skin

- i want to master the perfect makeup look

3. under each one of your goals, write 1-2 habits you could do everyday to work on that goal. you can write more habits if you want to, but again, the goal is to not overwhelm you anymore than you already feel. an example of this could look like:

1. physical appearance

- i want to grow longer hair

• sleep on satin pillow case

• heatless hairstyles daily

4. then start working on those habits, slowly adding a few more into your routine whenever you feel comfortable. don’t get discouraged if you slip a lot during the beginning; that’s completely normal. just keep working on being consistent and it’ll eventually become second nature. then you add more habits and eventually, habits turn into successes.

The Ultimate Guide to Skincare: AM & PM Routines for Radiant Skin 🌟🧖‍♀️✨

Skincare isn’t just about pampering—it’s an essential part of maintaining healthy, glowing skin. A good skincare routine should be tailored to your skin’s needs and split into two parts: morning (AM) and evening (PM). Each serves a unique purpose: the AM routine protects your skin throughout the day, while the PM routine repairs and rejuvenates it as you sleep. Let’s dive into an effective step-by-step guide to building your AM and PM routines! 🌸

Why Separate AM and PM Routines? 🌞🌛

AM Routine: Prepares your skin to face the day by focusing on hydration and protection from environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution.

PM Routine: Focuses on deep cleansing, nourishing, and repairing your skin after a long day.

Morning Routine (AM): Prepare and Protect 🌞

Your morning routine should be lightweight and protective, focusing on hydration and shielding your skin from damage.

Step 1: Cleanser 🧼✨

Start your day by removing excess oil and sweat that accumulated overnight. 👉 How-to: Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type and rinse with lukewarm water.

Step 2: Toner 🌿💧

Toners balance your skin’s pH and provide hydration. 👉 How-to: Apply toner with a cotton pad or pat it directly onto your skin using your hands.

Step 3: Antioxidant Serum (Vitamin C) 🍊✨

A vitamin C serum brightens your skin and protects it from free radicals caused by sunlight and pollution. 👉 How-to: Use 2–3 drops and press it gently into your skin.

Step 4: Eye Cream 👀🫧

Prevent puffiness and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes. 👉 How-to: Dab a small amount under your eyes using your ring finger.

Step 5: Moisturizer 🧴🌸

Hydrate your skin to keep it smooth and supple throughout the day. 👉 How-to: Apply a lightweight moisturizer and massage it into your face and neck.

Step 6: Sunscreen 🛡️🌞

The most important step in your AM routine! Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. 👉 How-to: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Apply generously to your face, neck, and ears.

Evening Routine (PM): Cleanse and Repair 🌛

Your evening routine is all about cleansing your skin of the day’s grime and giving it the nutrients it needs to regenerate overnight.

Step 1: Double Cleanse 🧼🛁

Oil-Based Cleanser: Removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil.

Water-Based Cleanser: Cleanses dirt, sweat, and impurities from your skin. 👉 How-to: Start with an oil-based cleanser, then follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.

Step 2: Exfoliate (2–3 Times Weekly) 🍋🌀

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and smooths skin texture. 👉 How-to: Use a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) or a gentle scrub. Avoid over-exfoliating.

Step 3: Toner 🌊💧

Apply a toner to restore balance and prepare your skin for serums and treatments. 👉 How-to: Pat it into your skin gently.

Step 4: Targeted Treatments (Optional) 🎯✨

Use treatments like retinol, acne spot treatments, or serums targeting specific concerns like pigmentation or wrinkles. 👉 How-to: Apply a thin layer of your treatment product to problem areas.

Step 5: Hydrating Serum (Hyaluronic Acid) 💧🌙

For overnight hydration and plump skin, apply a hyaluronic acid serum. 👉 How-to: Use 2–3 drops and press gently into your skin.

Step 6: Eye Cream 👀🌼

Repair and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes to reduce fine lines and puffiness. 👉 How-to: Dab it lightly around the eye area.

Step 7: Moisturizer or Night Cream 🧴🌟

Lock in moisture and nourish your skin as it repairs overnight. Choose a richer cream or one with repairing ingredients like peptides. 👉 How-to: Massage it into your face and neck.

Step 8: Facial Oil (Optional) 🌹🛌

If your skin feels extra dry, apply a facial oil to seal in moisture and wake up with glowing skin. 👉 How-to: Warm a few drops in your hands and press it into your skin.

Skincare Tips to Complement Your Routine 🍓🚰

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day 💧.

Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats 🍇🥑.

Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep every night to allow your skin to regenerate 🛌.

Manage stress levels, as stress can lead to breakouts and dull skin 😌.

Be consistent—results take time, so stick to your routine! 🕒

Conclusion 🌟💛

A well-structured AM and PM skincare routine is your secret weapon for radiant, healthy skin. While it may take a little time to find the products that work best for you, the effort is worth it. Remember, skincare isn’t just self-care; it’s self-love. Treat your skin with kindness, and it’ll reward you with a natural glow! 🌺✨

how to actually grow in 2024

introduction:

hey loves! to keep it short i don't like new years resolution's at all. this time each year all these adults talk about how this is the year they're going to lose weight or be more active, and it rarely ever works. most people fail their new year's resolutions because the concept in itself is flawed. but anyways, i know that a lot of people find them fun, so i'll give some tips on how to actually improve this year :)

why do resolutions fail?

theyre hard to measure. when people make their resolutions to 'eat healthier' or 'exercise more' it's not something you can really measure because it's not specific.

goals vs. habits:

how to grow:

create goals that're attainable and measureable. i like to avoid goals that're like "i want to workout everyday for 30 minutes", because that's more of a habit (working out daily) and also it's pretty hard to accomplish since there might be days when you're sick, or too busy, etc.

example:

instead of "i want to sew more in 2024" -> "i want to sew 10 projects in 2024"

instead of "i want to read more in 2024" -> "i want to read 10 books in 2024"

create a step by step plan. when you set a goal you need to think about HOW you're going to accomplish it. this is where daily habits come in.

alter your daily routine to incorporate new healthy habits. anytime i want to get a new habit i just do it little by little everyday. like read for 10 minutes or meditate for 5.

first of all: don't wait for new year's! i know it just feels good to think that the new year is when you're going to start doing all these things, but really you should be starting before then. don't wait

remember: progress ISNT linear!! you might have a month (or multiple) where you're really in a slump and not doing what you want to be doing, but that doesn't mean that you failed in any way. you don't need to wait for a new year to have a clean slate, just brush yourself off after these mistakes and keep going. progress isn't something that is constant- you have good times and bad times, you just need to keep doing your thing.

sending u all positive energy and all of my love :) -amy <3

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

( A collab with thee lovely lele @bloombabydoll )

If you want to reinvent and rebrand yourself, or just continue to make positive improvements in 2024, the first thing is to evaluate your current year. 

EVALUATION

Reflect on how things went for you. Was there continuous growth? Were there many difficult times? Did you discover anything major about yourself and so on. Try to summarise your year in (a) paragraph(s) at least. 

Oversee your goals. Which ones you didn’t, did achieve, difficult ones, easy ones and the impacts it had on your life. 

Compare your dream girl then and now. Is your visualisation of your life currently different to the one you have now and why? 

List any major losses or successes you’ve had in your life, and how they have helped you or why it matters to you. 

This evaluation can be as detailed or simple as you like, but as long as you have a decent outline of your year. 

PREPARING & PLANNING

To prepare for 2024, you want to know what you want life to be like in 2024. Something realistic to a point, but still is a growth journey. 

Think of something that you can associate with 2024. This can be a word, a symbol, art, a song, a book, a movie, a place, or even just all of these things. When you think about your goals and your journey, this is your theme. This is something that should relate to your goals or your dream girl somehow. 

For me, I chose a word and a song. My word is growth because, for me, 2023 was a year for just being able to shed my old self which I did achieve however I just felt there wasn’t much growth as an actual person and not just in my environment. 

For my song, it is Mayflowers by Proleters and Taskrok. This song is the epitome of what I would imagine, is the most polished mindset. I would say perfect, but having a perfect mindset is near impossible. I want to have a mindset glow up because I’ve just been hard on myself lately which has caused my confidence to plummet. 

Before we get into the fun part of the preparation stage, we have to do some organisation in our life. I want you to take a look at your daily lifestyle and your habits, and be completely unashamed about this. 

Then categorise these habits into two sections; Leave and Leap. Leave habits are habits that you are leaving behind in 2023, leap habits are habits that are leaping into 2024 with you. 

Any habits that are self-destructive, addictive or generally harmful are leave habits. Beneficial habits and self-building are leaping with you into the new year.

I want you to do the same for people in your life, all environments (school, work, online etc) and anything else you believe needs to be sorted out. 

This works better if you can reason with yourself why it is a leaping or leaving habit, but don’t try to convince yourself a bad habit is good or vice versa. 

Now, I want you to document an honest paragraph about who you are right now. List your bad and good habits, your strengths and weaknesses and your behaviours. This one requires a bit more detail. 

Then, write a paragraph about who you will be in 2024, your dream girl. List her habits, lifestyle, behaviours, mindset, strengths and anything else extra. I’ll explain later but do not include materialistic desires in this your dream girl. Once again, this one also requires details. 

Stemming from those paragraphs, I want you to create specific and achievable goals. SMART goals are best, but I want to introduce you to how I set goals. 

I divide my year into quarters. For each 3 months, I have 3-5 goals for those months. Usually, it’s one from each area of my life. Then, I break down these goals. 

Questions and How They Help 

Why do I want to do this goal - For motivation and commitment. 

How it’ll benefit me - For the sake of improvement. 

How can I involve myself in this goal - To achieve your goal.  

I prefer this method because it is a lot simpler for me, as I am just a young girl and my bigger goals are more in the future in which I’ll utilise SMART goals. 

To create good goals; Make sure they align with your current values and life principles first. Try to avoid creating goals that you have just taken from the internet. Those goals just aren’t it and you most likely won’t follow through with it. 

Be specific. Don’t say you want to eat more healthily, instead say you want to include (a certain group of veggies/fruits) in your diet and reduce the intake of ( food/drink). 

E.g using eating healthy example

I want to eat healthy -> I want to start including foods that boost my immunity system and support my skin while reducing those that have the opposite effect. 

Then break down those quarterly goals into monthly, weekly and daily goals. Make these habits that you can establish in your lifestyle and have a way in which you can refer back to your progress. 

EXAMPLE GOAL BREAKDOWN

Quarterly Goal - Read 6 books.  

Monthly Goal - Finish 2 books.

Weekly Goal - Be or near half way of one book.

Daily Goal - 20 minutes of reading per day. 

AREAS TO SET GOALS IN YOUR LIFE

Academics

Spiritual

Fitness/sport

Health and wellbeing

Mental health

Personal life

Relationships

Hobbies and recreation

Now for the best part- vision boards! Collect all of your favourite images that embody your quarters or the whole year, then put them in one place where you can see them regularly!

Some ideas are a scrapbook, Pinterest boards, mood boards, playlists etc. 

Choose your theme; It can be your healthy girl era, your academic come back or whatever you want. You can have more than two btw.

Use quotes! Then actually say them in your daily life as a way to shift your mindset to reflect said quote.

Include inspirational people. It doesn't even have to be a millionaire or a very well established person, it could be your friends or someone on the internet.

Be imaginative. Your vision board doesn't have to realistic in my opinion, as the whole point of it to me is that viewing it daily and considering it to be part of your life one day allows for you to open up to those opportunities.

Materialistic Wants

I feel obligated to make this a separate section. This section is practically tangible objects that you want.

However, when choosing this said object that you want, mindfully think about why you want that thing specifically.

It doesn’t have to be meaningful, but as long as each thing on that list has got a purpose to you, and will serve you, I think it’s all good!

Conclusion

If you want, you can definitely start implementing habits before January. However, I believe that as long as you go into 2024 at least knowing who you want to be and shedding away any limiting beliefs, you’ll be fine.

Make sure to incorporate some self care rituals into your daily life as well✨

To end this, I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas! And that 2024 they will achieve to close that gap with their current selves and their dream girl selves! 💖🙏
