Crafting by candlelight
I have these little beeswax candles that have a lil holder They burn for exactly 20 minutes. I set one up and a lamp, and do a small crafting task with a hot drink.

navami I do papercutting! I find it super calming and perfect for solo practice/ritual making as it needs complete focus.

navami thank you :)) I hope you enjoy it! I sometimes make ones specifically to burn at bonfires, another ritual element you can add for release 😊

burning beeswax candles
in the morning, evening, and sometimes as the only light in my room when i'm about to go to bed. really chill, no crazy scent, affordable, and it's like having a lil friend with you. :)

Reading by candlelight before bed
Lighting a few taper candles, turning on my candle warmer on low for some extra aroma (currently burning a candle from Penrose Candles in Portland called "Scents of Oregon: Summer Rain", with notes of rain + soil + oakmoss + noble fir), and under a solid blanket.Lighting a few taper candles, turning on my candle warmer on low for some extra aroma (currently burning a candle from Penrose Candles in Portland called "Scents of Oregon: Summer Rain", with notes of rain + soil + oakmoss + noble fir), and under a solid blanket. Staying cozy and relaxed before bed.

Dress to be safe
Ive been on T for awhile now and get read as a cis man most of the time. I generally wear long shorts, hoodies, open shirts with tees etc. When out with mates at safer spaces, I wear small crop tops with baggy pants, mesh shirts, building up to body suits I want to be more femme presenting and have fun with my outfits generally, but I've moved to a small town from London and I don't feel safe or comfortable doing that in public here.

Nighttime by the sea
My window is open and I can smell the sea on the breeze coming through. Every now and then, there is a small flash of white bellies in the night sky as gulls fly overhead. I'm not super close to the sea, but high enough to see a small moon dipped crescent of it and the little flickering light of a cruise ship. Cliffs reach out to the left, peppered with the glow of other people still awake at 2AM.

I'm there now
Been sick with flu for 5 days. Highly recommend when in the midst of it:
Self face and neck massages throughout the day with a nice oil, including ears! Steam bath for your face and ears, Very gentle stretching during the day so your muscles don't get too tense if you're lying down lots and resting. Lots of hydration constantly, Fresh air if possible at home.
