its good to be back ❀ Here’s what this elf has been up to, and what's to come!

Wow, it's a new year, and it feels so SO good to create again! 2021 was one hell of a year for me.  my mental health went downhill, and by the end of the year, I was so burnt out by everything that I didn't have any desire or motivation to do the things I love. I was at my limit. that's when I knew it was time for me to step away from everything and focus solely on myself

so after taking some well-deserved time to take care of myself, I'm finally ready to create. the little rain cloud above my head has finally disappeared! it feels so good to be back myself again. 

I just want to say thank you so much for all the support I've been getting. especially if you're taking the time out of your day to read this right now. I seriously can't thank everyone enough for the continuous amount of support I've been receiving over the years. I'm honestly starting to feel like a broken tape recorder! just know I'm forever thankful for the support.

 now It's 2022 and I'm back and better than ever! I spent a lot of time exploring my creativity on my own time and I have so much planned for my Patreon patrons! Here are just a few new things that I have in store for you all (By the way these all depend on what tier you choose!) :

• bookstore window display vlogs

you'll get the first look at  bookstore window displays I'm working on and even behind the scenes tutorials on how I make my props

• fae reads

This year I have so many things planned. After focusing on my mental health I’m refreshed and better than ever. It’s great to be back

Devious, but I won’t bite 🖤

Enjoying the full moon the black fae way 🖤

Feel free to use the first two collages as phone wallpapers ✨🗡🕯

Last nights full moon was beautiful! I made myself a tent to enjoy the full moon l and did a full moon ritual as well! 🌕

my black fae full moon ritual celebrating Sankofa solstice!

has life been chaotic, unpredictable, and just plain overwhelming for anyone else???? well it sure in the hell has been for me! SO, I love using the full moon to celebrate, release, restart, and manifest.

The full moon tends to mark a big build-up of energy, and because I'm also celebrating Sankofa solstice this month, I  wanted to use the energy of this full moon to celebrate the beauty of black women.

what is Sankofa solstice?

Sankofa solstice is a black fae day community celebration celebrating black people in fantasy. through original stories, art, poetry, makeup, cosplay, and other creative mediums! the celebration will conclude on  September 25th, 2021. also known as "the great procession by the BFD community.

 this full moon ritual helps me harness the power of the full moon in my own black fae way.  it's definitely a therapeutic practice to get back on track!

step one! clean up your space

I can't relax and really take up the power of the full moon when my room is a mess! so I take about 20 minutes to clean up my sanctuary. it's my own personal way of cleansing negative, chaotic energy.

get organized!

 I make sure to get everything I need to help me harness the full moon's power. I just like to feel extremely relaxed and comfortable so I won't have to worry about anything during my ritual.  

my materials 

• my moon journal
• pens, pencils
• candles
• lighter
• water
• wine/ a blunt (optional ofc) 

Meditate

meditating during a full moon Is an amazing experience. I have a perfect view of the moon from my desk. so it's always refreshing to take some time away from reality and be able to look up at the moon and realize, my problems don't feel so overwhelming compared to the cosmos. 

so I take about 15 minutes to meditate. the full moon always reminds me how small I and my current problems are in the universe. so, I take some time to relax my mind and embrace any negative emotions that are holding me back, then release them to the moon. 

what do I want to focus on this full moon? 

like I said in the beginning, I wanted to use this full moon to celebrate the beauty of black women. personally, the black woman I'm becoming. I wanted to celebrate myself, my black skin, and my culture. 

so I spend about 10 minutes writing 7-10 affirmations in my full moon journal

here are my 6 black women affirmations to say during a full moon

• I have the power to create anything
• I am in love with the skin I'm in
• I will not let society dictate who I am.
• I am a beautiful powerful, black woman. nothing can get in my way
• I am dedicated to achieving my goals
• I. Am. Enough

and the final step, RELAX!

After cleansing yourself physically and mentally, take some time to just sit and relax! indulge in your favorite hobbies,Watch a movie, sing, dance, and just simply enjoy the full moon 🌕

I know I say this a lot, but red wine makes me feel so sexy 🍷

It’s been a while since I sat down and enjoyed some wine. Red wine always reminds me of how sexy I look in red.

Should my next lingerie set be red?? What do you think??

Maybe I should do a poll soon to help me decide♥️

Starting off a new week as the prettiest pixie 🖤

I haven’t been feeling like myself for the last few days so I got dolled up. My Natural hair always makes me feel the prettiest 💗💞💗

self soothing tips from a sensitive princess.

living in such an overwhelming world can be extremely exhausting, especially for a highly sensitive girl like myself. 

many HSPs experience exhaustion. This is because highly sensitive brains process stimuli more deeply. so I had to come up with personal ways to soothe myself in such a chaotic world. 

so, if you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed or your anxiety is getting high, take some time to try some of these self-soothing exercises. they've helped me plenty, so I hope they'll help you as well.

close your eyes, breathe consciously, and escape

• practicing mindful meditation is an excellent way to step back and observe your thought and feelings. it helps you learn to stay with those difficult feelings without suppressing and encouraging them. while meditating, close your eyes and picture yourself in your favorite nature setting. I personally like to picture myself in the breath of the wild, laying on my back at the great plateau.

Take some time to recharge and restore at least once throughout the day.

• spending some hours alone is extremely crucial for me. It's how I recharge! Try to Plan ten-thirty minutes to lie down in a quiet room after a long day. Schedule alone time before parties or any overwhelming events. it's important to avoid back-to-back activities to get the downtime you need.

listen to a song that connects you with a positive memory or instrumentals that relaxes you.

• put on your favorite playlist and jam out! nothing feels better than chillin' and listening to your favorite artist.

let! yourself! cry!

• What's a better way to release stress than crying!? trust me if you feel overwhelmed and nothing seems to help, cry it out! emotional tears release stress hormones

create art

• it doesn't matter if you can "only draw stick figures"  create art simply because you can. 

drink your favorite warm beverage

• it's scientifically proven that hot beverages help you relax! When drinking a warm beverage, it enters your body, expands your blood vessels, and improves circulation. Increased blood flow is linked to muscle relaxation! I personally like drinking hot camomile tea

get some fresh air!

• going for a walk or even just opening up a window for air circulation can help improve your mood so much.

so if you're feeling overwhelmed I hope these tips can help! I also highly recommend the self-help books "I need some serious me time", and "The empowered highly sensitive person." these two books have helped me a lot in this chaotic world.
