The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color.

I can’t believe it’s gotten to the point where YouTube plays a Zionist propaganda ad where they show a picture of a Palestinian child starved and dying from Israel’s massacres and blocking of aid, then show a photo of the child, clearly taken taken years earlier, and have an AI voice saying,
“Israel has paid for his medical care! Here he is now!”
I’m convinced that if YouTube was somehow around in the 1940s, they would’ve ran Nazi propaganda with no shame. I’m sick of living in a timeline that uses Orwell’s ‘1984’ like a fucking guidebook.
Oh it's real.
I'm sorry but why is the dragon giving bedroom eyes? Why is the camera from behind with the dragon looking over its shoulder?? So extra.

Stepping up your hygiene
This post is ALL about hygiene and self care. It covers pretty much everything you could think of. ENJOY.
SHOWER
Exfoliating - Ok so for shower care you should be exfoliating 2-3 times a week. It’s really up to you what you use to exfoliate. Exfoliating should be done regularly it keeps your skin nice and smooth as well as getting rid of bumps and marks. To exfoliate you can invest in exfoliating gloves or a body scrub. You can even make a homemade body scrub out of olive oil and sugar/salt. Another bath essential for me is my back scrubber. I know some people struggle with body acne and back acne and I heard that really helps. It’s just nice to feel that your whole body is smooth. Another exfoliating tool are exfoliating scrub bars. Lush has a lot of nice ones, I recommend the Scrubee. These are good because they exfoliate and moisturise at the same time!
If you’re using a loofah or any kind of sponge remember they need to be replaced and you should do so every two months or more often if you would like.
Find a body wash that actually works for your skin. If you have dry skin you may want a creamy, moisturising soap. If you have sensitive skin you would want to use a more natural soap. Find what works for you!
Make sure you’re washing everything, that means your booty crack, behind your ears, your coochie, your belly button. All of it!
SHAVING
If you exfoliate before and after you shave you will feel super smooth and soft after!
Invest in a good shaving cream, lush also has a nice one. If you’re out of shaving cream you can always use conditioner. Leaves your skin super smooth.
Use a razor with multiple blades, men’s razors are very good for a nice clean shave.
Remember to rinse your razor!!
There is no need to press hard, be gentle when you shave.
AFTER SHOWER CARE
Skin (body) - Ok so if you have dry skin like me you want to moisturise as soon as you come out of the shower. On top of my regular body lotion I use a body oil as well. The name of the body oil I use is Palmer’s Moisturising Body Oil. This smells so good and goes amazing with my cocoa butter lotion. I would also recommend almond oil. This is such a good addition especially for summer because it leaves you nice and glowy!
Perfume - Ok so this is important for building your signature scent. People always ask me how to do it but it’s really so simple. Your signature scent is going to be a combination of your body lotion, perfume and or body mist. I personally use cocoa butter scented lotion. A good scent to go along with this could be vanilla. If you use a floral perfume you would want a body lotion that smells fresh or fruity.
Skin Care - A good thing to invest in is skin care especially this summer who wouldn’t want to look fresh and glowy. Set days that you’re going to do face masks. I write down my skin care routine on my mini whiteboard so I remember what days I do what, I also find it motivates me when I’m lazy. You can always make your own face masks or buy them. I always think the more natural the better but there are some shop bought ones I like. Spend some time and do some research to find the best mask for your skin. Another thing to buy is eye gel masks. These are so nice I always feel so much brighter after I use them. One more thing I would recommend is keeping a face mist with you. You can buy one or make your own. I love using rose water I spray my face with it literally every five seconds lmao! It also smells amazing and keeps you looking nice and fresh!
Feet - When it comes to looking after your feet it really depends on what your normal routine is. It’s always nice to invest in yourself and go to get your nails done but you can also take care of your feet from home! For your at home foot care you can get a small tub and soak your feet in warm water (I like to add essential oils too). Then after they’ve been soaked I grab my pumice stone which is a great investment, it keeps your feet super smooth. I would recommend buying a foot file of some sort. Another thing to invest in is a cuticle oil this is good for both your toes and fingernails. Then when I’ve soaked and dried I use my foot cream. Now this is obviously a little extra you can use a regular cream but a special cream for your feet is a good buy. I use the Soap and Glory foot cream.
HAIR
Ok so you should make an effort to deep condition once a week. If you don’t have a deep conditioner you can make one with conditioner and a variety of oils mixed together. Twist your hair up and throw on a shower cap and do some chores. If anyone wants a recommendation I use the Aunt Jackies in control conditioner.
Buy some oils for your hair, here’s a quick breakdown of what oils do what.
Sealants - this means you apply after you have moisturised your hair, these oils seal in moisture!
- Peppermint Oil: stimulates the scalp and increases hair growth. (apply to scalp or add to your shampoo)
- Olive Oil: promotes scalp health, good for hair growth and keeps hair soft and shiny. sealant
- Jojoba Oil: encourages hair regrowth and moisturises hair! Eliminates frizz and adds shine. sealant
- Avocado Oil: moisturises, repairs and strengthens hair. Is good for penetrating the hair shaft so it’s great for moisture. Contains vitamin D so it’s good for the generation of new hair follicles. sealant
- Argan Oil: high in vitamin E, good for dry scalp and dandruff. Keeps hair protected from damage. sealant
- Jamaican Black Castor Oil: increases blood circulation to the scalp and encourages hair growth. Balances the pH of your scalp. Stops scalp infections, inflammation and dandruff. Makes your hair stronger and replenishes natural oils in your hair.
Make time to do a hot oil treatment if your hair is feeling dry
Massage your scalp and oil it during the week.
Make sure to moisturise the ends of your hair, this is how you retain length!
Wrap your hair, wear a bonnet or invest in silk pillow cases.
Buy silk scrunchies or hair bands that are gentle on your hair.
Replace your brushes when they get old and crusty lol!
Remember to dust your ends. You can do this at home when you see single strand knots and remember to go and get a trim when you feel like your hair needs it. Listen to your hair!
Be consistent! The reason you’re not seeing growth could be because you’re not sticking to a routine. When you find products that work keep using them. Never skip a wash day and deep condition weekly!
PERIOD
Ok so I feel like sometimes people shy away from talking about hygiene when we’re on our period but it’s important and nothing to be embarrassed of!
I recommend downloading a period app if you don’t have one. There are so many different kinds that help you keep track of cravings, cramps, skin care and more.
Whether you’re using a pad or tampon they need to be changed regularly. This will keep you smelling fresh and keep your kitty healthy.
Carry feminine wipes with you but make sure they’re as natural as possible. I heard that the brand Honeypot is very good and is also black owned!
Also don’t use scented pads or anything make sure the pads you’re using are also as natural as possible.
When you’re on your period drink lots of water. I’ve noticed when I’m on my period and I’m drinking lots of water it made my period easier to deal with, mine usually lasts about 7 days and is super heavy but it’s started to become shorter and lighter.
I’ve also heard that taking cranberry pills after your period really helps if you’re noticing any odour so I recommend that too.
YOUR KITTY
Ok so when it comes to keeping your kitty clean and healthy I’m gonna start off with saying drink ya water! I know I say this all the time but seriously it helps!
Stop wearing underwear all the time let your coochie breathe. I also recommend sleeping naked it’s good for you.
Wear cotton underwear.
Discharge is absolutely normal. If you notice your discharge has a weird smell or colour then there is probably an issue and you should head to your doctor. Discharge is often clear/milky in colour and is like mucus or egg whites. You can also use your period app to track what discharge is normal. For example when you’re ovulating you’re likely to get discharge and before your period.
If you’re noticing any odour drink more water and change your diet. Start to eat more fruits and grab that cranberry juice. If you don’t like cranberry juice there are pills you can take.
You should not be using any old body wash to clean your coochie. It’s very sensitive and this can throw off your pH balance. If you choose to use soap which you don’t have to then pick a natural one that is specifically for down there. You can also just use warm water it’s a personal choice!
Don’t just use any lotion on your coochie or around that area either. I recommend baby oil.
EXTRAS
Bring your mask and hand sanitizer with you at all times. Please stay safe!
Carry around hand cream, nobody wants dry ashy hands lol.
Always carry lip balm/gloss.
Carry a bottle of water with you whenever you go out.
Carry deodorant and feminine wipes so you can freshen up during the day.
Always clean your phone with antibacterial wipes at the end of the day.
Remember to brush your tongue, floss and use mouthwash. On top of that always carry gum or mints with you.
Wash your makeup brushes! Seriously if you wear makeup daily or often wash them at the end of the week and if you need to then replace them.
When you’re not wearing acrylics make sure your nails are cut and shaped. Also apply cuticle oil to keep them healthy.
LIP SCRUBS. I love them sm they always keep my lips super soft and pink. I love the bubblegum lip scrub from Lush.
OKAY SO THAT'S IT. This may be updated later because there’s so much more. Send me ideas for more posts!

Tips that have helped me with my depression.
Disclamier: These are things that have helped me personally stay busy but happy after an attempt. Take what you need and leave what you don’t bb <3
‘Just do it’ mentality - Trust me the last thing I want to do is chores and let’s face it simple hygiene stuff like brushing your teeth, showering etc. However, since my recent hospitalization, I have forced myself to get back into a routine and back to human civilization. So if I don’t want to wash the dishes? Annalee, fuck it and just do it! Laundry? Annalee, fuck it and just do it! Fake it till you make it right?? It saves my mind at the end of the day.
Cleaning - I hate it so say it but it’s true, a clean space is a clear mind. Start small! Bedside table, washing your bedsheets, clearing your bathroom counter. Small steps and go at your own pace! Each task is a step to a cleaner and more organized space.
Therapy - personally I have a therapist which I highly recommend but thanks to terrible healthcare in the U.S it’s out of grasp for others. Now this one may not be for everybody, depending on the circumstances. But bb its time; therapy, shadow work, self reflection, even healing you inner child is a start. Ex: Going for ice cream and eating it at a park was a great start for me and my inner child. There are almost plenty of resources for free therapy, most depend on your location. Please approach that cautiously and safely
Meals - Being in the behavioral hospital was overwhelming but the thing i’m surprised it helped me with is recognizing my hunger cues. Most of us are not breakfast people, and I am definitely not one but it’s what has been keeping me going; and by going I mean out of bed (even if I go to bed right after i’m done) Please eat bb, you deserve it.
Finding a hobby - Most people might have this one down and other may not but find something that makes you happy even if you’re not good at it. Mine is plants, i’ve killed a couple a lot along the way but spending time on them brings me true joy. Find that spark again
Self Isolation - Living with BPD has been a challenge when it comes to me isolating myself, so i’ve said fuck it and started making plans with friends and it’s been working?? Sure there were some cancelations but some real connections made non the less. Say yes to the friend that you always cancel on! I know it’s hard but it’s like a work out, you feel so great afterwards! (I’d take this with a grain of salt because I know how hard it is to be around certain friends. Triggers, snide comments etc)
NO FRAUDS - In the words of Mrs. Minaj. I don’t need no, frauds. I don’t need no, drama when you call. I don’t need no, fake. Coming from someone who just let go of her FAVORITE PERSON (bpd term?) recently I know it’s fucking hard to let go but I needed it and have been feeling so much better without the dead weight. If someone has come to your mind after reading this chances are you need to let them go bb!!
Delete the playlists babe! - Delete the Mistki, delete Marvin’s Room by Drake, delete godspeed by Frank, delete any songs that you usually cry in the car to. Trust me this isn’t the mania talking, just delete the sad/heartbreak playlists
If you’ve completed all of this and feel like it’s way too much, I completely understand and by all means go at your own pace and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!! Personally all of these have been keeping me out of bed and not self-loathing 24/7. Maybe it’s mania, maybe it’s not but it’s been keeping me going for more than 6 weeks? xoxox
-Your Go-To Bitch
Today's aesthetic is tropigoth
Yautja Doodles of another one of my lads, Sav'Kat, that i feel i ignored way too much for a hot minute, along with precious bean Cletus. It's not easy being essentially the middle child of a badass Yautja trio XD
(1) Just the two besties exploring the jungle and Sav trying to keep up with his twink BFF. That nerd can be fast on his legs when he wants to. Especially in the name of scientific exploration!
(2) Petting his hunting hounds because they're very good boys
(3,4,5,6) Don't worry, his face is just constanly stuck in constant state of 'Resting Bitch' and 'Done with this shit' combined. He's so tired, someone give him bread and a nap to cuddle wih his hounds.
Puppy time for a big blue alien who just discovered Earth dogs are a thing and a green nerd that might be slightly terrified but intrigued by these alien dogs.
Giving yautjas a lemon
Pick the victim
(So sorry this is late, I only just know managed to get to this)
Jully dared her to try it. Sam is not a fan, as you can see XD
.... Yeah, i don't have a title for this. I just wanted an excuse to draw a very pretty fat woman wearing a beautiful dress that her space GF brought for her as a gift. They're both loving it.
Happy Early Birthday fellow June baby! Mine is the 6th and thought I’d stop by. 😀🎉🎂
Aaaawww, thank you. You're too sweet ☺
Then Happy Early Birthday to you too!
