♡ GET OUT OF A READING SLUMP ♡

Category: Books // Reading // Lifestyle

u got this, angel! ♡

We've all been there. You have a whole TBR waiting for you, but somehow you can't bring yourself to read any of it. Instead you end up doomscrolling again.

A reading slump doesn't mean you've stopped loving books. Sometimes you just need to make reading feel fun again instead of turning it into something you have to finish.

♡ TIPS

01. reread an old favorite

Sometimes the easiest way back into reading is a book you already know you love.

Pick up an old favorite, a childhood book, or something you've read so many times that you already know the characters by heart.

02. choose something short

You don't have to start with a 500-page fantasy novel.

Try a novella, short story collection, graphic novel, manga, or even a quick thriller. Finishing something small can help bring back that feeling of wanting to read again.

03. change the genre

If you've been reading the same type of book over and over, switch things up.

Reading romance? Try horror. Reading fantasy? Pick up a mystery. Reading thrillers? Try something cozy.

Sometimes your brain just needs something different.

04. revisit your childhood

Pick up a book you loved when you were younger.

Goosebumps, Harry Potter, Nancy Drew, Percy Jackson, childhood favorites, old series — anything that makes your reading feel nostalgic.

05. stop forcing the book

If you're 100 pages in and still aren't enjoying it, you don't have to force yourself to finish.

Put it down. Try something else. You can always come back later. Or you can DNF it.

06. make a reading mood

Turn reading into an experience.

Make a drink, light a candle, put your phone away, get cozy, play quiet background music or ambiance, or find a cute reading spot.

Romanticizing the little things can make picking up your book feel exciting again.

07. try an audiobook

Reading doesn't always have to mean sitting down with a physical book.

Try listening to an audiobook while walking, cleaning, getting ready, or doing something relaxing.

♡ the 20-minute reading reset

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb, grab the book you're most interested in, make your favorite drink, and read for just 20 minutes.

No page goal. No pressure. No worrying about how much you "should" be reading.

If you want to keep going after 20 minutes, keep reading. If you don't, that's okay too.

♥ currently fighting a reading slump ♥

Category: Books // Reading

I've definitely been in a reading slump lately. I'll grab a book, thinking I'm finally going to get my groove back, and then somehow end up on my phone an hour later. It's so weird because I want to read. I miss staying up late because I want to find out what happens next, becoming invested in a story, annotating, and making ocs.

Recently, there doesn't seem to be anything catching my interest. I'll start a book, set it aside for a few days, and then never read it again. Meanwhile, my TBR pile just keeps getting bigger and bigger, as if I don't already have enough unread books sitting around. 😭

I think the thing I miss most is just reading itself. I miss being able to pick up a book at the end of the day and get completely engrossed in it for hours. I miss having characters that stick with me even when I'm not reading. I don't want to force myself to read just so I can say I've finished a book. Maybe I just need to find the right one. Until then, I'll continue staring at my TBR pile and hoping that eventually, one of them will pull me out of this reading slump.

♥ Period Survival Guide ♥

Category: Self Care // Lifestyle //

just got my period so here's some things to help u when you're on yours.

Periods are already annoying enough, so I figured I'd put together some of the little things that make mine a bit easier.

From dealing with cramps to figuring out what to do when you just wanna stay in bed all day, here's a little list of things that might help.

💗 WHEN YOU HAVE CRAMPS

• Put a heating pad on your stomach or lower back.
• Take a hot shower and stay in there for way too long.
• Do a little stretching if you can.
• Get in bed and rest however long you want.
• Take pain medicine for cramps.

🥤 FOOD + WATER

• Keep a water bottle next to you.
• Actually eat something instead of surviving on snacks all day. (Make sure to have enough protein)
• Keep your favorite snacks around.
• Make something warm if you're craving it.
• Don't overthink what you're eating.

💌 MAKE IT EASIER

Keep your period supplies somewhere you can get to them easily. There's nothing worse than realizing you're out of everything at the worst possible time.

👜 WHAT TO KEEP IN YOUR BAG

☐ Pads / tampons / period products

☐ Extra underwear

☐ Tissues

☐ Small bag for emergencies

☐ Water bottle

☐ Snack

☐ Pain relief meds

🏠 THINGS TO DO AT HOME

• Put on a comfort movie or show.
• Read for a little while.
• Play a game.
• Listen to music.
• Take a nap.
• Do literally nothing for a bit.

🎀 IF YOU'RE AT SCHOOL

• Keep an extra pad or tampon in your bag.
• Bring water with you.
• Wear something comfortable.
• Go to the bathroom when you need to.
• Keep a tiny bag in your backpack with the neccesities.

---

💗 THINGS THAT CAN HELP

1. Take a shower. A warm shower can feel really nice when you're dealing with cramps or just feel gross.
2. Get into comfortable clothes. Sweaters, black leggings, anything that isn't so tight.
3. Find something to watch. Put on your favorite show, find a movie, or watch something you've already seen a million times.
4. Do something easy. Read, play a game, scroll Pinterest, journal, listen to music, or work on a hobby.
5. Go to bed early. If you're exhausted, just go to sleep. There's no neeed to push yourself.

📝 WHEN IT'S A REALLY BAD DAY

♥ romanticizing the new school year ♥

Category: School // Lifestyle

okay... maybe this year will actually be different.

I always say I'm going to be more organized when a new school year starts and then somehow I'm doing homework at 11:47 PM the night before it's due.

But this year I want to actually enjoy the little things. Cute outfits, good music, random conversations, getting my favorite drink before class... all of it.

Basically, I want school to feel like a part of my life instead of something I'm constantly trying to get through. 🎀

🎀 GET MY STUFF TOGETHER

• Get a planner and hopefully remember to use it.
• Clean out my backpack because I know there's random papers from last semester in there.
• Buy new pens even though I already have approximately 500 pens.
• Make my notes cute enough that I actually want to read them later.
• Pick out my outfit the night before so I don't end up changing five times in the morning.

📚 MAKE STUDYING LESS BORING

• Find a cute little spot to study.
• Get a drink before I start.
• Put my phone somewhere I can't reach it.
• Make a playlist and pretend studying is a montage in a movie.
• Take breaks before I completely lose my mind.

🎧 THE SOUNDTRACK

☐ Getting ready playlist

☐ Walking to class playlist

☐ Study playlist

☐ Main character playlist

☐ Songs for staring out the window

☐ Ambience playlist

💋 MAKE ORDINARY DAYS FUN

• Get my favorite drink before class.
• Wear an outfit I actually like instead of saving it for "somewhere special."
• Put my headphones on and pretend I'm in a coming-of-age movie.
• Take random pictures throughout the day.
• Stop rushing through everything.
• Get myself a little treat after a long day.

📸 TAKE THE PICTURES

I want more random pictures this year.

My coffee. My outfit. The sky. Something funny my friend said. My desk covered in homework.

Nothing important. Just things I might miss later.

📝 SUNDAY RESET

☐ Clean my room

☐ An everything shower

☐ Pick out outfits

☐ Pack my bag

☐ Check what I have due

☐ Clean out my backpack

☐ Update my playlists

☐ Get snacks for the week

☐ Try to sleep at a reasonable time
