to incorporate in your routine
our daily routines and habits can really shape how our day, week, month, or even year goes! we always talk about getting ourselves into a routine or bringing on better habits for ourselves to make our loves better. people tend to struggle with routines and breaking bad habits & replacing them with good ones, so let’s talk about how we can incorporate simple rituals into our day to day! rituals don’t have to be anything crazy, and no, you don’t need elaborate spells or millions of crystals to have a ritual.
rituals can be as simple as making your morning coffee/tea, showering, doing your skincare, doing your makeup, or even getting dressed for the day! it’s all about setting your intentions during these rituals; letting good and positive energy flow through you as you go through your day to day activities!
⟢ intentional coffee/tea
i’m sure a lot of start our day off with a morning cup of coffee or tea! you wanna know a great way of setting up your manifestations and affirmations for the day? stirring it into your coffee/tea!
stir clockwise
doing things in a clockwise motion is like bringing in something; moving something towards you. so stir and mix your coffee clockwise! let that good energy flow towards you and into you!
speak as you stir
you can whisper, speak out loud, or even say your intentions/manifestations/affirmations in your head! speak to your coffee/tea with what you want for the day!
⟡ “today is filled with light and love”
⟡ “my day is going exactly as planned”
⟡ “with this drink, i am filled with warm and peaceful energy”
⟡ “with this drink, i allow good energy to flow within me”
drink up & visualize
as you drink your coffee/tea, visualize that good energy you want flowing and pouring into your body, through your heart, and within your soul.
⟡ tina’s tip: think of a color you love or a color that associates with what you’re manifesting, and imagine that your drink as that color! i believe this helps this kind of simple morning ritual tip allows for stronger manifestations of what you want for yourself and your day
⟢ sacred skincare
skincare is one of the best ways to create a ritual from! it’s the perfect time to have alone with yourself and you’re taking care of yourself on top of that! use the time you have doing your skincare to repeat affirmations and boost your confidence!
charge each product & set your intention
you can charge something like moisturizer by doing something as simple as holding it close to your heart and visualizing your energy or good energy flowing towards it!
then you can set its intended use (intention) by saying something like “this moisturizer will protect me from negative and unwanted energy”!
repeat affirmations/intentions as you apply
while you pat toner onto your face, massage moisturizer onto your skin, and dab serums underneath your eyes you can just repeat your desired affirmations while looking into a mirror!
⟡ “i am beautiful”
⟡ “i radiate angelic energy”
⟡ “i attract good fortune and positive energy”
⟡ “i am full of light and love”
any affirmation that resonates with you will work! there’s more power to your words than you may think!
set the mood
play music that makes you feel confident, light a candle that makes you happy, create lighting that makes you feel at peace; just set the mood for yourself! this will apply to other rituals i’ll go into more detail about!
don’t hesitate to create a space for yourself that makes you feel the most energized, calm, happy, or confident! while performing any of these rituals, a good space filled with the energy you want for yourself will allow your manifestations, intentions, and affirmations to be stronger!
⟢ makeup manifestations
what you do with ‘sacred skincare’, you can do with makeup! all the same steps apply!
visualization
the key thing here is to visualize with every brush stroke, every dab of foundation, and every spritz of setting spray the energy you want. really take the time to see your affirmations and/or manifestations play out for yourself as you apply makeup!
color associations
incorporate different colors into your makeup! you can make it as bold or as subtle as you’d like!
whether it’s a hint of blue on your waterline for calming energy or a bold red lip for confidence, using colors that associate with what you’re trying to manifest can help greatly!
⟡ green — money, wealth, good luck
⟡ pink — self love, emotional healing, love (in general)
⟡ red — confidence, protection, love, passion
⟡ black — protection, warding off negative energies
⟡ yellow — happiness, joy, peace
⟡ blue — calm, tranquility, focus
color associations can also apply to what clothes you wear!
final thoughts ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
with all of these rituals, it’s important you protect your own energy in the process. working with energy can be draining and sometimes what we manifest might have the possibility of bringing in something we didn’t want.
so affirm for yourself that you’re protected; that your energy is protected from any and all unwanted things whether it be energies or even people. i’m a firm believer that what you put out into the world will come back to you twice as hard, so be careful with what you speak into existence and be specific!
protect your energy and manifest good energy. you can do both of those things with these simple rituals! self care is all about rituals; all about creating the energy you want for yourself to better yourself!
with lots of love, faustina 🌙🤍

dealing with academic pressure without losing yourself 𓍯𓂃
school can feel like everything. grades, deadlines, exams… it’s so easy to think your worth is tied to how well you do. i’ve been there, where one bad grade feels like the end of the world and the pressure to be perfect makes you want to give up completely.
so here’s the reminder: you are not your gpa. you are not your grades. you are a whole person outside of school, and no assignment or exam gets to define you.
but i know that pressure is real, so let’s talk about how to handle it without losing yourself.
1. stop comparing your timeline to everyone else’s
this one is hard, but necessary. someone else finishing early or getting an A doesn’t mean you’re behind or failing. school isn’t a race. your path is your own and moving slower doesn’t make you less capable.
2. give yourself permission to be human
you are allowed to make mistakes. you are allowed to have bad days. you are allowed to take breaks without “earning” them first. you can work hard without destroying yourself in the process.
3. separate your self-worth from your grades
this is everything. your value doesn’t rise or fall based on a number. when you get a good grade, you’re still the same person. when you get a bad grade, you’re still the same person. grades measure performance on specific tasks, not your intelligence or your worth.
4. learn to say no
sometimes pressure comes from taking on too much. every extra project, every favor you say yes to adds weight. it’s okay to say “i can’t right now.” boundaries don’t make you selfish, they make you sustainable.
5. find one small thing every day that reminds you who you are outside of school
read something that’s not a textbook. listen to music you love. take a walk without thinking about deadlines. remind yourself that life is bigger than your to-do list.
you are not falling behind. you are not failing at life because you feel stressed. you are learning, growing, and doing your best in a system that wasn’t designed to be easy. that is enough.

glamour magick you can practice every day ᥫ᭡
you can use glamour magick for everything, not just beauty and love and that's why it's my favorite kind of magick
daily showers:
washing your body, your face or your hair can be such a powerful practice. enchant your soap, body wash, face wash and shampoo and use them to remove all the negative energy, any bad thoughts, insecurities, bad memories, health problems and just anything you want to get rid of. i do that by holding the tool (e.g. a bar of soap) in both of my hands and i just focus on my intention for a while. something like "this soap will wash off any negative energy that clings to me" or "this shampoo will get rid of any negative thoughts i have"
face, body and hair care:
just like you can enchant your beauty products that wash your body to remove any bad energy, you can enchant any products you're going to leave on your body to bring positive things into your life. i use my conditioner to give me confidence, i use my magical toner for beauty, love and attraction, i use body lotion and moisturizer for protection and hair oils for abundance.
mirror magick:
something as simple as looking at yourself in the mirror, repeating positive affirmations, spells and visualizing yourself as the best version of yourself can absolutely change your life. i love how confident and beautiful it makes me feel.
enchanted jewelry and perfume:
just like any beauty and skincare products, you can enchant your jewelry or your perfume and wear it. love, good luck, protection, attraction, confidence, anything you need and want!
color magick:
color magick can be a part of glamour magick too! just pick the right color behind your intention and add it to your outfit or makeup or paint your nails with that color.
hair:
i already mentioned how washing and conditioning your hair but brushing it can also be a great ritual! brush it gently and repeat your spells and affirmations. your hair easily absorbs energy, it's like a sponge. so if you give it as much love and care and positivity as possible, there will be no space left for any negativity.
those are some of my favorite, very simple glamour rituals and they all have changed my life
take care my loves! ᥫ᭡

mental health do’s & don’ts. ᥫ᭡
mental health advocacy & awareness has come such a long, long way and we’re all so lucky to live in a world where mental health is finally starting to matter to everyone! i have struggled with my mental health for a good majority of my life. i’ve experienced the worst depressive episodes, i’ve gone through inpatient & outpatient programs, and i’ve been in therapy for almost 7 years, so i’m very familiar with what it’s like to struggle mentally and emotionally. it’s nowhere near easy to deal and work through depression, anxiety, bipolar, ptsd, or any other mental illness that’s out there, but let’s take a moment to talk about what we should and shouldn’t do to maintain a good and healthy mental and emotional mindset so that dealing with our mental health can be even the slightest bit easier!
let’s begin …
୨ৎ — mental health DO’s
DO perform small self care tasks!
drinking water, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, making your bed, getting out of bed, going for a walk, taking a nap, reading your favorite book, rewatching a comfort show/movie; these are all wonderful, and simple, self care activities you can do!
doing small, every day things for yourself can help release dopamine which a lot of us mentally ill angels may be lacking! no matter how mundane a task may seem, the smallest accomplishments can make the biggest difference. always remember that!
DO write out how you’re feeling!
i talk about journaling a lot here on my blog, i even post journaling prompts in my tumblr community! so you’re gonna hear me say this again and again: journaling and writing out your thoughts and feelings can make a real difference!
it helps you organize your thoughts or even help you release pent up emotions. keeping everything bottled in is never a good thing, you have to allow yourself to release your emotions, and journaling is a very healthy option for doing so!
DO reach out for help!
i’m a huge advocate for therapy. like i said in the beginning, i’ve been in therapy for almost seven years! and it was one of the best things that i could have done for myself! so, if you’re able to, i highly recommend finding a therapist.
but, i know there are people out there who might not be able to afford a therapist or who may not even have the means to find one, so reach out to loved ones. you can find a wonderful support system amongst your friends and family. they are in your life to love you, care for you, and support you in any way they can, so don’t hesitate to reach out to a loved one if you’re ever struggling!
you can even find support through coworkers, bosses, or teachers! if you’re in high school or even college, don’t shy away from reaching out to school counselors!
as i said before, keeping things bottled up has the potential of making your situation more difficult, so please reach out to someone and never be afraid to ask for help. there is someone out there who will take the time to listen to you and even offer a helping hand!
DO spend some time outside!
there have been studies that have proved that at least 10 minutes of sunlight while being outside can help improve your mental health! my therapist actually went over this with me and she “prescribed” me to spend at least 10 minutes outside at the start of my day. i honestly thought it was kind of silly, but it’s genuinely made a huge difference for me!
i used to spend a lot of my days cooped up in my room with my curtains closed and all the lights off, and it only ever made me feel worse. i was tired all the time, i never had the energy to even get out of bed, and i just felt awful all the time. but just spending some time out in my backyard for a few minutes in the morning and actually opening up my curtains during the day has really helped boost my mood!
there’s also really affordable sunlight lamps out there that you can find! natural sunlight doesn’t always come as easy, but artificial sunlight lamps have actually been proven to provide the same effect! think of investing in one especially as the colder season starts to come near!
୨ৎ — mental health DON’Ts
DON’T spend all day scrolling through your phone!
it really can be that damn phone, you guys! scrolling endlessly on social media can be so detrimental to your mental health. think about it, you’re spending hours upon hours looking at different people’s posts and it leads you to start feeling poorly about yourself and your life. that’s red flag number one: you’re bound to start comparing yourself to strangers on the internet! that’s not something you should submit yourself to, especially when you’re struggling inside.
don’t hesitate to unplug for a while. take a break from social media. put your phone on do not disturb. let yourself do something that you know will make you happy instead of stare at your phone screen for hours!
this would be the perfect time to start implementing new hobbies into your life! there’s tons out there for you to try, so i suggest creating a small list of new hobbies you’ve been wanting to try or that peak your interest and give them a go!
DON’T isolate yourself!
self-isolation was one of the biggest warning signs for me when i was in the trenches when it came to my mental health. i’m gonna continue to be upfront and honest with you guys, sometimes i still find myself doing this. did that ever make me feel better? of course not, because i was alone and i had nothing else but my own negative thoughts.
i understand people may need time alone, and i completely get that! i’m one of those people, but you have to make sure you know the difference between self-isolating and having some alone time.
self-isolation is completely not talking to anyone, not going outside, never leaving your room, consistently ignoring notifications from your loved ones, and purposely keeping yourself alone because you think “i don’t deserve to be around anyone”.
having some alone time is taking a break from your phone, doing something that makes you happy by yourself, and enjoying the company of yourself. that’s the biggest difference, spending time alone is enjoying that time alone.
when you isolate yourself from others, it’s not you doing that because you enjoy it, you know deep down it’s because your brain is playing tricks on you and telling you that you don’t deserve to be around others. and that is far from the truth.
DON’T interact with negativity!
this goes back to social media, and media in general. do not spend your time watching sad videos or interacting with content that makes you feel worse. and the same thing goes for people!
never spend time with people who put you down, who make you feel bad about yourself, who feed into those negative thoughts, who influence you into doing something you’ll know you’ll regret, and who don’t take your mental health seriously.
a lot of things and people have bad energy, so if you find yourself somehow attached to those things, let them go right now. if those things or people are not doing you any good, let them go.
DON’T deny that anything’s wrong!
be honest with yourself! it’s okay to acknowledge the fact that you aren’t okay! and be honest with your loved ones!
if you’re lying about how you’re doing, how is anyone going to be able to help you when you need it? how are you going to be able to help yourself when you need it? you’re allowed to speak up when things get hard! never shy away from being honest about what you’re going through.
what you have going on is valid. your mental health struggles are valid. how you feel is always valid.
and it is 1000% okay to admit that there’s something going on in your life, and you can start by admitting that to yourself. don’t keep yourself in denial. acknowledge your problem and seek help. it’s perfectly okay to ask for help!
allowing yourself to be vulnerable and asking for help is actually a huge sign of strength, not weakness. it takes a lot to go to someone and ask for help, so don’t ever let yourself think that that’s something that makes you “weak”.
final notes —
i want the biggest take away from this for you guys is that you know and remember that your mental health is just as important as all other aspects of your overall health. i always say, “you can’t do your best if you aren’t at your best.”
be kind to yourself, be patient with yourself, and show yourself some grace. if you feel like you can’t reach out to anyone with what you’re going through, at least be that supportive person and an advocate for yourself. i know there are days, weeks, or even months where it all feels so much easier said than done, but i know that you know that you don’t want to feel miserable every single second of your life, so take the time to be there for yourself!
you deserve kindness and healing, especially from yourself.
with lots of love, faustina 🌷

mental health do’s & don’ts. ᥫ᭡
mental health advocacy & awareness has come such a long, long way and we’re all so lucky to live in a world where mental health is finally starting to matter to everyone! i have struggled with my mental health for a good majority of my life. i’ve experienced the worst depressive episodes, i’ve gone through inpatient & outpatient programs, and i’ve been in therapy for almost 7 years, so i’m very familiar with what it’s like to struggle mentally and emotionally. it’s nowhere near easy to deal and work through depression, anxiety, bipolar, ptsd, or any other mental illness that’s out there, but let’s take a moment to talk about what we should and shouldn’t do to maintain a good and healthy mental and emotional mindset so that dealing with our mental health can be even the slightest bit easier!
let’s begin …
୨ৎ — mental health DO’s
DO perform small self care tasks!
drinking water, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, making your bed, getting out of bed, going for a walk, taking a nap, reading your favorite book, rewatching a comfort show/movie; these are all wonderful, and simple, self care activities you can do!
doing small, every day things for yourself can help release dopamine which a lot of us mentally ill angels may be lacking! no matter how mundane a task may seem, the smallest accomplishments can make the biggest difference. always remember that!
DO write out how you’re feeling!
i talk about journaling a lot here on my blog, i even post journaling prompts in my tumblr community! so you’re gonna hear me say this again and again: journaling and writing out your thoughts and feelings can make a real difference!
it helps you organize your thoughts or even help you release pent up emotions. keeping everything bottled in is never a good thing, you have to allow yourself to release your emotions, and journaling is a very healthy option for doing so!
DO reach out for help!
i’m a huge advocate for therapy. like i said in the beginning, i’ve been in therapy for almost seven years! and it was one of the best things that i could have done for myself! so, if you’re able to, i highly recommend finding a therapist.
but, i know there are people out there who might not be able to afford a therapist or who may not even have the means to find one, so reach out to loved ones. you can find a wonderful support system amongst your friends and family. they are in your life to love you, care for you, and support you in any way they can, so don’t hesitate to reach out to a loved one if you’re ever struggling!
you can even find support through coworkers, bosses, or teachers! if you’re in high school or even college, don’t shy away from reaching out to school counselors!
as i said before, keeping things bottled up has the potential of making your situation more difficult, so please reach out to someone and never be afraid to ask for help. there is someone out there who will take the time to listen to you and even offer a helping hand!
DO spend some time outside!
there have been studies that have proved that at least 10 minutes of sunlight while being outside can help improve your mental health! my therapist actually went over this with me and she “prescribed” me to spend at least 10 minutes outside at the start of my day. i honestly thought it was kind of silly, but it’s genuinely made a huge difference for me!
i used to spend a lot of my days cooped up in my room with my curtains closed and all the lights off, and it only ever made me feel worse. i was tired all the time, i never had the energy to even get out of bed, and i just felt awful all the time. but just spending some time out in my backyard for a few minutes in the morning and actually opening up my curtains during the day has really helped boost my mood!
there’s also really affordable sunlight lamps out there that you can find! natural sunlight doesn’t always come as easy, but artificial sunlight lamps have actually been proven to provide the same effect! think of investing in one especially as the colder season starts to come near!
୨ৎ — mental health DON’Ts
DON’T spend all day scrolling through your phone!
it really can be that damn phone, you guys! scrolling endlessly on social media can be so detrimental to your mental health. think about it, you’re spending hours upon hours looking at different people’s posts and it leads you to start feeling poorly about yourself and your life. that’s red flag number one: you’re bound to start comparing yourself to strangers on the internet! that’s not something you should submit yourself to, especially when you’re struggling inside.
don’t hesitate to unplug for a while. take a break from social media. put your phone on do not disturb. let yourself do something that you know will make you happy instead of stare at your phone screen for hours!
this would be the perfect time to start implementing new hobbies into your life! there’s tons out there for you to try, so i suggest creating a small list of new hobbies you’ve been wanting to try or that peak your interest and give them a go!
DON’T isolate yourself!
self-isolation was one of the biggest warning signs for me when i was in the trenches when it came to my mental health. i’m gonna continue to be upfront and honest with you guys, sometimes i still find myself doing this. did that ever make me feel better? of course not, because i was alone and i had nothing else but my own negative thoughts.
i understand people may need time alone, and i completely get that! i’m one of those people, but you have to make sure you know the difference between self-isolating and having some alone time.
self-isolation is completely not talking to anyone, not going outside, never leaving your room, consistently ignoring notifications from your loved ones, and purposely keeping yourself alone because you think “i don’t deserve to be around anyone”.
having some alone time is taking a break from your phone, doing something that makes you happy by yourself, and enjoying the company of yourself. that’s the biggest difference, spending time alone is enjoying that time alone.
when you isolate yourself from others, it’s not you doing that because you enjoy it, you know deep down it’s because your brain is playing tricks on you and telling you that you don’t deserve to be around others. and that is far from the truth.
DON’T interact with negativity!
this goes back to social media, and media in general. do not spend your time watching sad videos or interacting with content that makes you feel worse. and the same thing goes for people!
never spend time with people who put you down, who make you feel bad about yourself, who feed into those negative thoughts, who influence you into doing something you’ll know you’ll regret, and who don’t take your mental health seriously.
a lot of things and people have bad energy, so if you find yourself somehow attached to those things, let them go right now. if those things or people are not doing you any good, let them go.
DON’T deny that anything’s wrong!
be honest with yourself! it’s okay to acknowledge the fact that you aren’t okay! and be honest with your loved ones!
if you’re lying about how you’re doing, how is anyone going to be able to help you when you need it? how are you going to be able to help yourself when you need it? you’re allowed to speak up when things get hard! never shy away from being honest about what you’re going through.
what you have going on is valid. your mental health struggles are valid. how you feel is always valid.
and it is 1000% okay to admit that there’s something going on in your life, and you can start by admitting that to yourself. don’t keep yourself in denial. acknowledge your problem and seek help. it’s perfectly okay to ask for help!
allowing yourself to be vulnerable and asking for help is actually a huge sign of strength, not weakness. it takes a lot to go to someone and ask for help, so don’t ever let yourself think that that’s something that makes you “weak”.

hi love!! so so so sorry i’m getting to your ask super late! my life’s been crazy busy with starting my new job and studying for my certification exam!
but i actually used a template!! i literally just searched on tumblr “free blog layouts” or “free blog designs” and copied the html code into where you can edit the code on desktop! then from there i customized all the colors and pics to my liking!! luckily a lot of the free templates you can find on tumblr are super easy to use!
with lots of love, faustina 🌷
