I love you. take care of yourself.

I'm doing sigil commissions for gas and rent money!

I've been really struggling to cover rent after being off work and in the hospital. Any bit helps.

Here are examples below. I can do any color sigil, any color background, and will provide a transparent PNG background as well.

Just choose your phrase or intention - it doesn't have to be witchy either, it can be any old phrase if you prefer that. But for spiritual purposes make sure to set an intention. I can help with that if you DM me.

Basic sigil (one color background plus transparent background) - $5

Sigil overlapped onto a special background(s) (your choice, you can choose as many as you want within reason no upcharge) plus plain color plus transparent background - $10

Alternatively, if you just want to help, my venmo is chalquist and my cashapp is $cgHal

i can do this.

Well hello everyone! I'm kinda back, I don't even know when was the last time I posted honestly 🥲 it was a tough semester and i managed to pass 8 out of 11 classes with flying colours but now it's time to study for the last 3. I can't wait for the new year to begin cause finally I'll have less than 10 classes per semester!!

Also I got this beautiful spread from @sarahstudieschem and couldn't be happier cause I'm in somewhat lilac phase now i guess(?)

Hope you're doing alright! Stay safe and be kind to yourselves!

I am weirdly not so nervous about my exam tomorrow, and that is freaking me out more than the idea of the exam itself. I am probably too tired to even consider being as anxious as usual. Anyway today was the day of the big review, and even if I was a bit tired I delivered. Today I :

Did an in depth review of everything in my archeology notes

Checked out everything I was feeling insecure about on the materials and online

Had a random 45 minutes writing session, of which I am pretty happy

Journaled

Organized my bullet journal

Continued listening to the audiobook of The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft

Summer studying challenge// 31st August - What was your favourite memory from this summer?

Okay so there's a few, but probably the trip to the mountains I went on with my best friend,her family and my mom, a couple of weeks ago. It was spectacular. Also I had a nice time at the seaside, taking a bit of time to relax. (i can't believe this is the last day of this challenge!! I was getting used to it)

☀️ Day 62 of My 2021 Summer Studying Challenge! ☀️

31st August - What was your favourite memory from this summer?

you know, i honestly can’t really think of one. not necessarily because it was a bad summer, i just can’t think of anything particularly ‘special’ or noteworthy. the main thing that came to mind was a long walk i did with my mum and dogs on july 24th. not sure why, but it was a nice walk

Happy fall everyone! 🧡 I have already been in the fall spirit for a few weeks now, but since it’s September it finally feels more socially acceptable to be putting out my fall decor haha. Classes are off to a very quick start, I’m already feeling a little bit stressed!
