pink pilates princess essentials ♡

Orange lights twinkle as ‘The Nightmare before Christmas’ plays on the tv. The smell of sweet cinnamon and pumpkin drift from the kitchen, making the whole house smell like a cozy fall evening.

hello loves ♡

With the final day of September here and October starting tomorrow, I wanted to announce that I’m doing my own version of blogtober: Witchy Babe Autumn. I have many spooky season themed posts planned including some new content like tarot pick a piles!

But before that starts, I wanted to share some of my favorite pink pilates princess essentials! As you already know from my morning routine, I’ve been into the pink pilates princess lifestyle. Recently I’ve updated my pilates routine as well as grabbed some of the cutest new pink essentials!

1. Resistance Band Set 2. Pink Airpod Case 3. Rose Quartz Gua Sha 4. Pink Workout Set 5. Motivational Water Bottle 6. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet 7. Bala Wrist/Ankle Weights 8. Lancôme Hydra Zen Moisturizer 9. Dior Addict Lip Glow 10. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% 11. Ballet Tie Grip Socks 12. Sephora Face Mask 13. Matte Latte Mix 14. Pilates Bar with Resistance Band 15. Pink Alo Yoga Mat 16. Pink Skechers Sneakers 17. Podcast 18. Hot Girl Walk Playlist

These have been some of my favorite items for pilates, but I do have a top few favorites. Personally I don’t like wearing sneakers during yoga & pilates, so the ballet tie grip socks are perfect. Plus they’re so cute!

The Bala wrist & ankle weights also make it to my top five. The 1lb weights are perfect for slowly adding weights to your pilates routine!

Number three on the top five is the fabric resistance bands. I’ve used rubber ones in the past, but they always kept bunching up midway through my workout. So I decided to switch to fabric. Plus the colors are cute!

My next top essential is the matcha latte mix. I love enjoying an iced matcha latte after my morning pilates and I use this mix to make them at home! I make a really good match rose latte with it — I’ll share the recipe after blogtober!

Finally, my last top five essential is The Ordinary’s niacinamide because skincare is an important step in a pink pilates princess lifestyle! This has been a fave for three years now.

While I have my top five, I can definitely say I love and recommend them all!

Perfect for your hot girl walk after pilates ♡

the love witch ☽ self love spell jar

Rain patters lightly against the skylight as ‘Season of the Witch’ plays softly in the background. The dry, woodsy smell of the burning incense sticks drift through the air and meets the smell of freshly brewed maple coffee; it’s the perfect first day of autumn. ♡

hello witchy babes!

Happy first day of autumn and the official start to spooky season! I have many enchanting & magical posts planned out for the season that I’m so excited to work on, but today I wanted to share a cute little witchy post teaching you how to make a dreamy self love spell jar. I just adore making spell jars and one of my favorite types of spell works always has to do with self love!

Hope you loves enjoy and make one for yourselves!

What you need:

♡ seashells ♡ a piece of paper for self affirmations

♡ rose & hibiscus petals ♡ rose quartz & clear quartz pieces

♡ lavender ♡ pink string & a pink candle

First start by cleansing your space and your items with your chosen incense — rose would be perfect to set the energy for this spell jar!

On a small piece of paper write out some self love affirmations; the affirmations you choose are completely up to you. Roll up the tiny paper as if it’s a mini scroll — feel free to tie it with some pink string for added cuteness!

Now it’s time to start adding in our items! The order of how you layer them is up to you, however I like to layer them like this: the hibiscus petals, rose quartz pieces, lavender, rose petals, clear quartz pieces, and then the seashells before adding in my self love affirmations scroll.

Once the jar is complete, seal it with pink candle wax [pink candles are used in self love spells ♡] and tie it with a pink string.

With the jar completed, say the self love spell and thank the universe & aphrodite and that’s all there is to it! ♡

Self Love Spell

i am love. i am enough. i am beautiful. i love myself & will continue to love myself every day with all my heart. i accept myself fully. i treat myself with the kindness, respect, compassion, and love i deserve. I am free to exist as me. i will continue to love myself every day no matter how hard it seems. I am so grateful to the universe& aphrodite for giving me the strength to love myself.

how to feel like aphrodite ♡ the goddess of self love

The soft sounds of a lana del rey song drift from my speakers as the scent of freshly brewed coffee envelopes the room like a familiar hug. The birds sing outside indicating that spring is around the corner.

hello loves ♡

The sounds of birds singing their spring tunes highlight the mornings and the sun shines in the blue sky for longer — spring is near again. It’s the time of year I find most dreamy. Everything is starting to awaken fresh and renewed, ready for the time to spring to life again after a cold winter. With the beauty of an impending spring comes the feeling of love in the air as well. To celebrate the love of spring, I wanted to focus on the most important love — self love.

Everyone deserves to love themselves and one of my favorite ways to do this is allowing myself to feel closer to the goddess of self love, Aphrodite. Not only will this help you feel good about myself, but you’ll be left feeling like an ethereal goddess too!

♡ Feel closer to aphrodite by lighting your favorite candles, especially pink and white ones, and drawing a comforting bubble bath. Add rose milk to your bath to soften your delicate skin.

♡ In your most favorite tea cup pour fresh brewed tea and add rose petals and honey. Sip it slowly as you think of only dreamy things that bring you joy.

♡ Pull out your fancy stationery sets and pen love letters to your favorite people in your life. Write one to yourself as well for a little self love.

♡ Be sure to surround yourself with beautiful rose quartz crystals. To welcome in more love for yourself, put one under your pillow before drifting off to your dreamland.

♡ Wear your most delicate and pretty of pearls with every outfit.

♡ Feel like the ethereal love goddess herself by putting on ethereal dresses that make you feel romantic and whimsical.

♡ Lastly, write a list of all the things you love about yourself. Read the list to yourself while looking at yourself in a mirror. Remember you are beautiful and lovely as you are. ♡

just like magic ♡ a self concept playlist

Wrapped up in my soft pink paris blanket, I type away at my pink keyboard as my creative ideas flow freely. My twisted peppermint candle burns on the table next to me as the scent of the sugared snow and vanilla buttercream fill the room. With my self concept playlist playing in the background I feel content.

pink pilates princess ♡ a morning routine

Dreamy, calming music flows from my phone as I type away at my pink quartz keyboard. The comforting scent of freshly baked sugar cookies mixes with vanilla and crushed peppermint, creating the coziest feeling.

hello again loves ♡

The faint sound of morning birds singing drift into the room, alerting me that spring is just around the corner. As i slowly beging to open my eyes, I gently stretch my body after a full night of beauty sleep. Looking toward the window, I bask in the glow of the early morning light; the morning sun still hiding beneath the horizon just waiting to say hello again. Adoring this time of day, I simply take a few moments to feel at peace as I gaze out the window. The sky is a beautiful light grey with the remainder of the previous night sky still lingering; there’s just something about this time of day that brings me so much joy.

While still cozy and wrapped in my furry pink blanket, I reach over for my phone opening my Pinterest app. Wanting a few more moments in a warm bed, I work on pinning aesthetic things I feel inspired by and my affirmations board as a way to start the day off in a positive mindset. As I do this, I make sure to sip on a glass of water.

Once I am finished with my water, I delicately pull back my warm blankets and step out of bed to start my morning. Grabbing my pink satin Victoria’s Secret robe, I make my way toward the bathroom to brush my teeth before moving on to washing my face. Once finished I pick out a face mask – today’s being a peel off one called strawberries & champagne.

As my face mask is drying, I begin to make an iced oat milk coffee. The smell of freshly brewed coffee whirls around the house as I add heart shaped ice to my pink studded Starbucks tumbler. Sipping on the oat milk iced coffee, I savor the soft quietness of the early morning. I just adore being the only one awake on an ethereal morning like this – it’s absolutely tranquil. While I continue to enjoy my delicious coffee, I begin to journal and go over my planner to see what the day ahead holds.

Iced coffee finished, I finally change from my satin VS stripped pajamas and slip into my favorite workout clothes – my aerie flared leggings and my baby pink hello kitty milk bar hoodie. The first thing i start with every morning is pilates as it’s the perfect start to any workout and warms me up for the rest of them. Onced finished with pilates, I move on to my hiit cardio routine to fully wake up. After completeing my morning workouts, it’s time to step into the shower.

The warm water and steam evelopes me like a comforting hug, warming the muscles I just worked.

Feeling rejuvinated and ready for the day, I step out of the shower and dress in a cozy outfit for a day of working from home – the fluffiest of pink sweaters, basic soft leggings from aerie, and comfy socks. I continue with my full morning skincare routine to keep my skin bright and glass like. Skin looking smooth and doll like, I finally style my hair. Freeing my long silky hair from any tangles, I add some loose beach waves and tie my hair up into an adorable half up/half down ponytail and add a pink ribbon for an added cute touch.

My morning routine complete, I make healthy green smoothie and brew a fresh pot of delightful green tea and am ready to go about the rest of my day.

lovely august goals ☽ for the chaotic academic

The cozy scent of cinnamon pumpkin cupcake drifts into the air mixing with the musky scent of desert sage; making the room feel as though autumn is closer than it is. Taylor Swift’s evermore plays softly in the background creating a comforting vibe.

August, the perfect transitional month between the final weeks of summer and the start of the autumn season; the perfect time to set new goals in time to prepare for my most favorite time of year. There’s just something about this month that renews my creativity and motivation. Some people see spring time as a fresh rebirth, I see autumn as that time. With my new ideas and lust for learning, I’ve decided to set some simple goals to prepare for my favorite time!

☽ perfect my skincare routine – Something I will be working on this month is getting my skincare routine in order as to have my skin glowing during the upcoming chillier months. Sometimes I end up slacking a little on my skincare, but I want to put my self care at the top of my to do list as a way of finally treating myself better.

☽ focus on my writing at least twice a week – With my sudden burts of creativity and motivation, I want to set aside time to get all my ideas down and blog more. To achieve this I will be taking at least two days every week to sit at my desk and simply let the ideas flow!

☽ outfit plan for the perfect autumn outfits – One thing I’ve always loved is putting together lovely outfits and with autumn being my most favorite season, I really want to come up with the perfect outfits. I also sometimes find myself falling back into depressive days where I’m constantly wearing what I call my “struggle outfits” and I just feel if I start planning cute fall outfits that it’ll help me take small steps into doing nice things for myself to feel better. Sometimes simply making the outside look good helps you feel a little better on the inside about yourself!

☽ find a new subject to study – One thing I’ve learned about myself through starting my healing process is that I truly do have a lust for learning new things. While I may no longer be in school, I still feel that need to learn something new even if it’s a random subject. Lately I’ve been very interested in learning all about chaos theory and I look forward to reading more about it this month!

☽ walk at least 20k steps a day – As someone who lives in a small town where I do a lot of walking daily, I’d really like to get my daily steps to 20k. This may seem like a big number to some people, but as someone who has to walk everywhere it’s super achievable! Plus it keeps me active and helps with my anxiety.

☽ go on more little adventures – I’d really love to go on little adventures around town this month; whether that be on a walk to the lake or exploring the old train station!

Let me know in the comments if you have any lovely goals for this month!

chaotic academia playlist ☽ autumn vibes

The woodsy scent of myrrh mixes with the scent of fresh sage and juniper berry, creating a cozy cabin feel. The room is illuminated with flickering candlelight as well as a dreamy soft orange glow. Alt-J is playing softly in the background; the scene is peaceful and calming.

The soft sound of raindrops hitting the skylight acts as white noise while the candlelight flickers like a dance. Empty coffee cups with wine colored lipstick stains and scribbled notes with coffee rings are scattered across the desk. The scent of myrrh is calming as I sip the third coffee of the evening; cozy knit sweater untucked, collar slightly disheveled, and pants replaced by leggings with mismatched socks. The soft notes of the current alt-j song playing as I write brings an idea; sharing the perfect playlist for the chaotic academic. One that will bring peaceful vibes while still seeming as chaotic as the jumbled up thoughts in your head.

enjoy!

cottagecore autumn playlist ☽ cozy songs for the season

The delectable scent of cinnamon sugar swirls with the soft smell of churned butter, powdered sugar, agave, and delightful vanilla bean as the stream of smoke dances from an incense stick. The delicate glow of my fairy lights illuminate the room, creating a cozy vibe.

Picture this … the sky is overcast with beautiful grey clouds, theres the slight smell of rain in the air as a crisp chill gently kisses your cheeks, orange and red leaves crunch under your feet as you stroll about and take in the beautiful autumnal landscape around you; autumn is here once again. It’s the perfect scene that puts you at ease and chases away all your worries for the moment.

While it may not be like that right now because it’s still summer complete with the heat, I’d still like to think about those autumn memories that make me happy. With all that’s happened this year, and 2020 continuing to 2020, I felt the need to share that scene with fellow autumn lovers to evoke those same feelings of peace. The best way I figured I could do that was to create a peaceful, cottagecore playlist full of cozy songs that truly make me think of breezy afternoons surrounded by the changing leaves.

I hope you loves enjoy it!
