kitti's guide 2 restoring the magic of internet (4 urself)
over the past few yearz at least i've been chasing that feeling the internet used 2 have, where i couldn't wait 2 get on and explore the thingz i luv, now the internet feelz draining and soulless even. here's how i've been going back 2 an internet I enjoy
what does a magical internet mean 4 u? ^_^
for me it means customizable blogz (like spacehey and yes, tumblr too lol), nostalgic sites like girlsgogames, small communitiez to engage about ur interestz with, and overall placez 2 express and visualize everything that u luv <3
what's taking that away right now?
doomscrolling on insta, constantly seeing negativity and stuff on there, losing time to content I wasn't rly looking 4 in the 1st place, and also the constant access. a lot of my friendz and mutualz are on insta so i don't wanna leave but limiting my time on there helpz a lot ^_^
how 2 go back??
if ur like me and have a bad habit of doomscrolling anywayz, try tracking every minute of it, itz helped me be more conscious of the time I spend and I feel way more inclined 2 stop sooner than later. if you have a laptop or computer, try using that over ur phone whenever possible :) if you can limit ur internet 2 ur computer then it'll feel like the internet has itz own place again.
plan fun internet time <3
i luv sitting at my desk w my iced coffee while I work on my spacehey layout, scrolling pinterest, playing games, etc. also while listening 2 music and being dolled up ^_^ I feel like it makes the internet feel more like ur going out or something, lol. find ur fav sites and topics 2 explore, make cute lil blogs, pinterest boards and playlists, play ur fav online gamez, make it all urs!
this guide is 4 myself also but i hope some1 else can benefit from it! <3 xoxo
romanticizing ur life is SO important. it means being intentional with everything that u do and creating a life that u love to wake up to in the mornings. its adds beauty to the everyday...💬🎀
ROMANTICIZE UR SURROUNDINGS ;
light candles, make ur room a reflection of you and what u love. make ur room a SANCTUARY. i know i spend a lot of time in my bedroom so i make it a place i love to be. i have a cute pink canopy, i invested in beautiful bedding, invested in my vanity. i look around and feel like im in a doll house and i LOVE it.
ROMANTICIZE UR ROUTINES ;
create rituals and routines that make u feel safe and glamorous and girly and DOLL. romanticize the pretty girl stroll u take in the morning and listen to an uplifting podcast and make urself a cute drink when u get home as a reward.
another example is SKINCARE routines. think of it like self worship with good quality serums and oils and LOVE. take ur routines that u do everyday and make them utterly romantic.
DRESS UP EVERYDAY ;
wear perfumes even if ur just going to bed, put on a nice outfit everyday and doll up even if u have nowhere specific to be. stay ready, dolling is a LIFESTYLE not just an occasional holiday. think of urself like a main character of ur very own girly drama.
CURATE UR VIBE EVERYDAY ;
narrate ur day in ur head like its a journal entry. i talk to myself a lot so i always just do so in my favor. boom, manifestation ritual and romanticization tactic in one. something else i love to do to curate my vibe everyday is listen to a playlist i make everyday and do things that make me feel like ME.
just being present in this moment cuz the only thing that exists is right now. i pause and just appreciate things like textures, sounds, the people around me etc.
ELEVATE THE BORING ;
study in the library with a cute drink, headphones and outfit
go grocery shopping with a list written on cute paper in ur best handwriting and a nice playlist
listen to feel good music while brushing ur teeth
watching comfort shows/movies on the weekends or doing something leisurely then
