la vie en rose
hello lovelies!
As I’ve said in my last post, the start of the new year is bringing about a slight new era on La vie en Rose Diaries! With the fresh start of 2023, I’ve decided to make a few subliminals. Personally I’ve always loved using these videos to aid in my manifestations and feeling more positive so why not make my own?
This subliminal is a dark feminine era glow up combo! It has plenty of layered affirmations for a complete femme fatale upgrade.
enjoy lovelies ♡
The dreamy scent of rose petals mixes with the burning sandalwood incense to create a witchy atmosphere. Rain pattering lightly against the skylight and fresh brewed green tea in front of me, it’s a peaceful afternoon.
hello my loves!
With the fresh start of a new year I’ve been refreshed with many ideas and while I cannot wait to share them all, I wanted to start off 2023 with a little post about one of my favorite things: crystals!
I absolutely adore collecting many different types of crystals and using them in my daily life. Today however, I’m going to share some of my favorite beginner crystals for anyone who may wish to start collecting them knows where to start!
☽ clear quartz – used for healing, clarity, and cleansing. Clear quartz amplifies & restores energies. This quartz can also be used in place of any crystal in spellwork. Perfect for the crown chakra!
☽ amethyst – used for protection, intuition, and healing. Amethyst helps create spiritual protection against negative energy — this is a fave for those of us with anxiety! Can be used for the third eye chakra.
☽ citrine – used for happiness, creativity, and abundance. Citrine is the crystal to use to aid in manifestations and achieving goals. Can be used for both the sacral & solar plexus chakras.
☽ rose quartz – used for self love, caring, and romance. Rose quartz promotes self love and confidence while also attracting love and ridding insecurities. Perfect to use for the heart chakra!
☽ aquamarine – used for calming, courage, and cleansing. Aquamarine is also used to aid with panic attacks and reducing stress as well as help with letting go. Have a blocked throat chakra? Try meditating with an aquamarine crystal!
☽ amazonite – used for balance, soothing, and truth. Amazonite is the perfect crystal to help you see an issue from other perspectives to seek the truth. It’s also great for luck & success! Can be used for both the heart & throat chakras.
☽ sodalite – used for logic, intuition, and clarity. Sodalite is amazing for bringing emotional balance to sooth panic attacks & encourages rational thought. Used for the throat & third eye chakras.
☽ aventurine – used for luck, creativity, and prosperity. Aventurine is said to be the luckiest of all crystals aiding in attracting wealth and luck. It also help in releasing bad habits. Perfect for the heart chakra!
☽ tiger’s eye – used for focus, protection, and grounding. Tiger’s eye helps with remaining grounded as well as helping will power. Perfect for the root chakra!
‘On October 3rd, he asked me what day it is.’
Happy Mean Girls day, loves! In honor of it being October 3rd, I made a few girly spooky season wallpapers that are sized for the new iOS 16 lock screens ♡

hello my witchy babes ☽
With the first day of october comes the first day of my Witchy Babe Autumn blogtober posts!
Sticking to a simple & cozy vibe for the first day, i’ve decided to share my favorite cozy things about spooky season!
I hope each cozy thing gives you a comforting feeling that feels as though i’m wrapping you up in a warm knit blanket while pumpkin bread bakes in the oven; the scent traveling all around you.
enjoy ☽
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!
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!
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.
The smell of cinnamon pumpkin donuts drifts from the candle by my desk and twirls around the room; leaving it with a cozy autumn feel. The light, witchy music playing softly from my phone is the only sound in the room.
hello again my friends!
With rain pattering softly at the window and the humid summer air changing into a slight chill, autumn is slowly making her way toward us. Pumpkin flavored coffees and halloween decor are also making their arrivals, putting me in the perfect spooky feeling! With a new season approaching, I wanted to share my newest spooky season playlist.
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. ♡
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.

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.
♡
