God I love this man

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

She'd disappeared like a broken star, leaving the world untouched, save for the bits of missing light that no one would ever see again.

~ Caraval, Stephanie Garber

I like that because it's HIM.

an angels guide: healthy eating at school

hi angels! you voted and this came first so here it is, an angels guide to eating healthily and focusing on your body and health goals at school. healthy eating at school can be tricky. you use up so much enegry and time in class and studying that meals can seem a little less important. you might end up skipping a meal or eating a meal that ends up not fitting your health goals all because you ran out of time. i have created three categories of lunches to help you find meal inspo: cold lunches, hot lunches and make the night before lunches. also a bonus snack section and some general tips! enjoy angels and feel free to comment your go to lunches/snacks.

tips

bring a bottle of cold water with you to school, drinking water regularly helps you look and feel your best.

eat breakfast! even if you don’t get very hungry eating in the morning helps your brain and body function it’s best. try having some fruit or a smoothie if you really struggle to eat in the mornings.

try vitamins/probiotics to help you get all your nutrients and vitamins in.

buy a cute lunch box/food containers to make sure your lunches are adorable.

make a pinterest board of cute healthy lunches to be inspired by!

figure out your health goals and create meal ideas from there. for example: i want to build muscle! that means you need more protein in your diet so plan meals and snacks with lots of protein sources to fit your goal.

thank you for reading! happy back to school season. remember to nourish and take care of your body - you deserve it! love, m.

Things I learned on my healing journey so far🤍

1. Trust your opinion first. It's okay to ask your trusted person for advice but at the end of the day, they're not YOU. Always come back to your heart and your true opinion or decision so you don't have any regrets.

2. Keep things private. I'm not saying, don't tell anyone anything about your life. Keep your goals, your plans and your relationships private. Notice how every time you tell your "friends" about your crush, it all goes south and suddenly he doesn't like you anymore? If you kept it private, that wouldn't have happened. Not everyone needs to know everything about you.

3. Change your mindset. This is the secret of a good life y'all. You can have everything you've ever dreamed of, your job, your partner, anything. But your mindset is so poor that you keep seeking out every wrong thing about your dream life. Always looking for negative, being happy when something falls because "you were right all along". I'm not saying be naive, but be positive. Hope for the best. Expect good things. Replace negative thoughts about yourself with positive ones. Your mindset is your life and your reality. Realize it already.

4. Stop doubting yourself. Stop thinking you can't do it because it's 'hard'. Who said it's hard? We all know you can do it. Like, come on it's not that hard stop having that pathetic victim 'I can't do it' mindset. How old are you, again? Your self doubt is a liar and the only power it has is you believing in it. - Elanora Oxa

5. Things won't come true if you don't put in the work. You are saying affirmations 'my skin is clear' everyday but NOT having a skin care routine. Come on. 'I have my dream body' but not doing a workout here and there? Sorry to break it to you, but you won't get anywhere like that. Actually DO stuff. If you pair exercise with affirmations, it's a game changer.

Hey Angels, this is a unusual kinda post from me. These are all literally life-changing, however small they may seem. Once you implement these into your life and enjoy the process, you will bloom. Hope this helped.

Kisses from your favourite Angel (aka me)💓
