i was fired yesterday
i am sitting on my couch right now while my two step sons are in class distance learning. i got out of bed 20 minutes before they were supposed to be in class. i haven’t been doing well lately. i’ve actually been doing extremely not good. i’m exhausted constantly. i’ve been working with my doctors. but. my depression has been extremely acting up. and i don’t know if that is because of my health being so bad lately or if my depression is causing my issues.
my diet has been crap. i can barely get myself out of bed in the morning. i can’t walk my dog. i can’t do laundry. i can’t read. i can’t write. i spend all my time mindlessly scrolling on apps or watching tv. i can’t do my yoga so my back is getting bad again. i can barely bring myself to cook when i love cooking. i can barely spend time with my boys. my partner and i are barely intimate anymore. i couldn’t do my job to the best of my abilities so i was fired. i just feel so overwhelmed and anxious that i can barely do anything.
i won’t take pills. i am positive that my depression is situational. 2020 has not been kind to anyone. and being at home all the time, i was working from home as well, has really begun to mess with me. i know the things i can do to help but it is so Hard to push yourself to do these things.
so i am taking little steps. i am taking this time from when i was fired until i get a new job and i am working on things. i am getting my house in order a little at a time. i am going to take a break from social media. i am going to spend more time outside, even if it is just walking out the front door and taking a few deep breaths. i am going to clean a little at a time and tell myself it is OK. i am going to do some simple stretches until i can get back in to my yoga. i am going to start cooking simple healthy meals and keeping healthy snacks in the house. continue going to therapy and working with my doctors. work on my sleep hygiene. try writing and reading and journaling a little bit.
i was fired yesterday and i am going to be ok. i am going to be better. this is an opportunity and i think the universe and Aphrodite for it.

Self-Care, Glamours and Beauty Tips:
I value self-care so much and view it as infinitely important. This is a brief compilation of tips on ways to make self-care witchy and ideas for embracing and enhancing who you are. This post is more focused on self-care in terms of acceptance of your physical appearance, I might do one on mental health later if this is popular :) As usual, feel free to add your own ideas and tips!
Misc / General Self-Care:
💕 Keep a familiar crystal nearby, or rose quartz for love, positivity, protection from negativity and self-care energies.
💕 Project negativity and anger into a stone and throw it (as hard as you can if you like) into a body of water. Call upon the universe or any deities to purify the energy and use it for a better purpose.
💕 Charge an object in your room such as a pretty stone or crystal, painting, plant or piece of jewellery with postive, encouraging and loving energy and keep it nearby. When you look at it, you can receive a boost of positivity.
💕 Talk or pray to a divinity, the moon, the stars, sun, the wind, your potted plants, anything. Whether mentally or verbally, they will listen to you.
💕 Stretch to loosen up your body and get rid of negativity. Then invite in positive energy.
💕 Clean and cleanse your space magickally! Use crystals, music and herbs to help you if you like. Sprinkle a little salt around, use colour magick when making your bed, bring in some potted plants to purify the air and uplift your mood.
Beauty Tips:
💕 Use clockwise motions when applying makeup such as foundation (if you like to wear it) to attract positivity and all the good stuff like luck, harmony, success and health. If you don’t wear makeup (lol me cos idk how to apply it) you can use this motion when scrubbing yourself clean to invite in positivity.
💕 Get some sunshine! This is fantastic for your skin (in moderation of course).
💕 Draw sigils for a good work out before you exercise.
💕 This isn’t witchy but pfft. You’re beautiful, you’re talented, you’re smart, you’re strong, you’re loved, you don’t need to change yourself. I will legitimately cry if you don’t believe me or if anyone tells you otherwise. (Tell me who they are and I will beat them up).
Some Product Correspondences:
My personal ones, feel free to agree or disagree.
💕 Bath Salts / Epsom Salts: Protection, cleansing, purification, comfort.
💕 Body Wash: Protection, cleansing, self-love, removing negativity from yourself.
💕 Shampoo: Removing negativity from yourself (especially negative thoughts, I find - scrub well to banish bad thoughts).
💕 Conditioner: Sealing spells, glamours, beauty, shielding.
💕 Bath Bombs: Catalyst, energy.
💕 Perfume: Love, shielding, beauty (keep scent correspondences in mind, e.g. rose for love etc)
💕 Soap: Protection from negativity, banishing.
💕 Foundation: Protection, shielding.
💕 Blush: Youth, love, romance, happiness, glamours.
💕 Lipstick: Eloquence, communication, romance, glamours.
💕 Lipgloss / Lip Balm: Glamours, honesty, beauty, communication.
I hope this is useful to you! Happy witching everyone ;)

🌟 Bath Magic 🌟!
Let’s talk about one of my favorite ways to practice magic! There’s nothing more rejuvenating to me than a long hot bath. I definitely gravitate towards using water in my practice, and magical baths are my favorite way to incorporate this. For my baths, I usually put together a standard mix for overall cleansing and good vibes, and then customize it from there depending on what kind of energy im trying to attract!
My standard bath mix:
Equal parts of:
💫Epsom Salt - This stuff is all over good for you! It eases any aches and pains and eliminates toxins in the body. I use this as a cleansing element in the bath mix
💫Himalayan Pink Salt - Similar to the epsom salt, this detoxifies your body as well as your energetic field. Pink salt is a powerful energetic healer and has a way of absorbing and dispersing negative energy, while also being awesome for the body because of all the trace minerals found in it!
💫Coconut oil - Magically useful for protection& purification, so a lovely addition to the baths cleansing properties! Coconut oil is also a fantastic moisturizer & I love having some in the bath in order to lock moisture in my skin!
💫Rose Water - If I have any rose water on hand, I’ll add a little bit into my mix! Roses are commonly known to correspond with love and passion and a litle rose water is a great way to invite more love into your life. Roses & rose water are also associated with intuition, and dream magic.
💫Moon Water - I also include a splash of moon charged water in my bath! I usually work pretty closely with the moon, so this is a personal comfort! I love having the energy of a moonbeam with me while I’m cleansing from energetic build up or preforming a spell or ritual
💫Selenite Dust - Selenite is a fantastic cleansing mineral thats energy is very similar to the moon. This mineral dissolves in water, so be sure not to place your favorite piece in the bath! I have a bit of selenite that I use specifically for making dust.
💫Essential Oils - There are a variety of oils you could add depending on what your intentions are! I usually switch up which oils I add depending on the intention of the bath. My favorites right now are tea tree oil and rosemary!
From there, I sometimes will add teabags, herbs and flowers (pictured above are rose petals, honeysuckle and rosemary for luck and abundance!) put these in a muslin bag so that clean up is a little easier), and bring candles and crystals with me. My favorite things to add to my standard bath mix are a nice bath bomb that color-coordinates with my intentions (I really respond to magical color correspondences! ), and a face mask.
For me, these baths are almost always for a through energetic cleanse, and are useful before doing spell work or ritual work. They can also be so useful when I’m just going through a stressful time and need to relax! I use them to ground, center, cleanse, and meditate. Baths can also be a perfect quiet time to develop your intuition, or a safe space to practice spirit work. Of course you can also build a spell into a bath mix, or anything else you wish!
Baths can also be medicinal, and as with any medicinal practice make sure your health situation can mix with any herbal / holistic medicinal methods safely!

‘Give me Sunshine’ Potion for Happiness
I think I have a new favorite beverage! This potion is quick and easy to make – ideal for college witches, new witches, and even children! The recipe itself can be enjoyed as a non-witch beverage too.
Ingredients:
- milk (or milk substitute)
- vanilla or honey
- cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg
Process:
1. Pour a glass of milk. Add vanilla or honey, depending on what you have. I used ¼ tsp of vanilla in mine. Using either a spoon or your finger, stir the glass counter-clockwise to banish negativity. Put the glass in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
2. Add cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg as desired. I used both cloves and cinnamon in mine.
nutmeg - luck, love, clairvoyance
cinnamon - happiness, luck, wealth
cloves - luck, protection, love
3. Stir the beverage clockwise to promote positivity and activate your ingredients.
Enjoy!
