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 :)
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:
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
Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started on your journey towards ultimate girliness ;) You'll be flaunting your femininity in no time, and trust me, the world will be so grateful for it!
Slay the Fashion Game First things first, let's talk clothes! Embrace your inner fashionista and experiment with colors, patterns, and styles that make you feel absolutely divine. Lace, florals, and pastels are so totally girly, and why not throw in some accessories like a cute necklace or a pair of statement earrings? Pinterest is a great place to get cute outfit inspo to build your dream style!
Pamper Yo'self Nothing says "girly" like a good ol' fashioned pampering session. Grab your favorite face mask, run a bubble bath, and light some scented candles. Oh, and don't forget to paint those nails a fabulous shade of pink (or any color that makes you feel like the princess you are). Self-care is so important, and when you feel good, you look good.
Find Your Signature Scent Every girl needs a signature scent that says, "Hello world, I'm fabulous!" Head to your local beauty store and find a perfume that embodies your fabulousness. Floral, fruity, or spicy, there's a scent out there that will make you feel like you're walking on a cloud of girliness. Just a spritz or two, and you'll be turning heads left and right.
Channel Your Inner Cher Horowitz You know what's totally girly? Confidence. Nothing is more attractive than a girl who owns her awesomeness. Channel your inner Cher from Clueless and strut your stuff like the world is your runway. And if anyone tries to bring you down, just remember, "Ugh, as if!"
Surround Yourself with Other Fabulous Females Lastly, surround yourself with other amazing, girly gals who inspire and support you. After all, what's more girly than having a fabulous girl squad? Plan a girls' night in, a shopping spree, or a brunch date, and celebrate your collective girl power.
Now go out there and slayy xx

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
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☀️ 🏹

Hot girls don't gatekeep, so here are some of my favourite glow-up tips that actually work. <3
Skin
Find a skincare routine that works for you!! It took me years to find mine, but now my skin is literally perfect. <3 (let me know if you guys want a detailed skincare routine!!)
Don't pick your skin, the less you touch your face, the better.
I believe ice rollers are bs…
If you struggle with dark circles, don't try fixing them through skincare. Most likely, the problem comes from your diet or stress.
Dry brushing is a game-changer!!
Use lotion after every shower and apply a body spray before the lotion is fully absorbed into your skin. You'll smell amazing for DAYS.
Don't try homemade skincare if you already struggle with your skin. I learned it the hard way, lol…
WASH YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES
Hair
The more heat you use, the more damage you'll have.
SILK PILLOWCASES
Never sleep with wet or damp hair.
Stop buying cheap shampoo and conditioner, also make sure to check the ingredients!!
Some ingredients to avoid: Sulfates, Parabens, Polyethene Glycols, Triclosan, Formaldehyde, Synthetic Fragrances and Colors, Dimethicone, Retinyl Palmitate.
I trim my hair every 3 months.
If you have damaged hair, invest in some Olaplex!! my favourites are N4c, N6 and N7. <3
Diet
green juice actually makes you feel better. I make mine at home and LOVE it :)
Balance is key!! I swear by the 80/20 rule.
Drink more water, even if you think you're drinking enough. DRINK MORE
Keto is BS <3
Focus on eating more protein. Usually, low-fat products have more protein, so I just try to buy those, lol.
I eat gluten-free, not by choice… But it did clear my acne, so…
Take supplements, get a blood test done, discuss it with a doctor and start taking whatever they recommend. GAME CHANGER.
EAT MORE VEGETABLES and fruits.
Lifestyle
Focus on being more active, walk more, workout, join a club or sport, dance, whatever works for you!!
I aim for 10K steps, I live in a big city, so I usually walk more than that but still.
Hobbies that don't include screen time. Trust me.
Find your personal style and ALWAYS dress up. <3
TREAT YOURSELF. Buy yourself flowers, and presents, go to your favourite restaurants, vacations!!
Read more. As a classics lover, I can't imagine a life without literature, but even if you don't like classics, any book is better than no book!!
Take more pictures. I've noticed that I have become a lot more present since I've started taking more pictures!! highly recommend :)
I hate to say this, but getting up earlier is lowkey kinda great... been doing it for a few weeks, and unfortunately, I do feel better... they were right...
Get a cat. :)
Mindset
Stop assuming that everyone hates you, they don't, trust me.
Journaling, manifesting, law of attraction, affirmations.
one of my favourite affirmations: "if I weren't capable, the opportunity wouldn't have come my way; I belong here." <3
Stop hanging out with people who drain your energy
stop consuming media that makes you feel bad.
What would the highest version of yourself do?
If you change your mindset, you will change your life.
Romanticise every aspect of your life. <3
As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and glow-up tips in the comments! <3

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.
Your morning routine should be lightweight and protective, focusing on hydration and shielding your skin from damage.
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.
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.
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.
Prevent puffiness and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes. 👉 How-to: Dab a small amount under your eyes using your ring finger.
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.
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.
Your evening routine is all about cleansing your skin of the day’s grime and giving it the nutrients it needs to regenerate overnight.
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.
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.
Apply a toner to restore balance and prepare your skin for serums and treatments. 👉 How-to: Pat it into your skin gently.
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.
For overnight hydration and plump skin, apply a hyaluronic acid serum. 👉 How-to: Use 2–3 drops and press gently into your skin.
Repair and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes to reduce fine lines and puffiness. 👉 How-to: Dab it lightly around the eye area.
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.
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.
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! 🕒
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! 🌺✨
