It’s Friday once again, Boils and Ghouls… but yet, I’m not feeling that TGIF! energy this week…
Energy levels have been sporadic and unmanageable, leading to some of this summer’s blog posts being a little unstructured and unscheduled, to even being postponed. I even debated on whether I should write a post at all today, given how I currently feel, but carving out a creepy corner on the interwebz, to exist and enter a creative flow state, recharges my soul beyond belief and I really want you, the reader, to know that 🫶🏻
So I’d like to keep some of my embers burning to fuel this blog, in order to keep cultivating and maintaining this space we’ve created together, to summon our souls (and love for all things spooky), morbidly!
Entering Mercury Retrograde With aN Attitude 🦁
With today being the first day Mercury enters the microwave… to retrieve the Gatorade… during this Retrograde, I thought about the attitude I plan on taking to approach these next few weeks of self-reflection.
Refresh & Refocus
And while Mercury remains in this state until August 11th, I thought this would be the ultimate time to refresh and refocus some of my creative ideas, since this retrograde seems to be centered around self-growth (as we soon enter Leo szn 🦁)
Mercury retrograde 2025 in Leo is a space to reflect on the narratives, perspectives, thought forms, and ideas in our minds that keep us from our most authentic and liberated expression of who we are. Leo expresses its essence brilliantly because that is what it means to be alive. It reminds us that we each have a unique radiance, a spark unlike anyone else’s, and to dim that would not only create a disservice to ourselves and to every other human but disconnect us from life itself. – Yoga Journal
But before we chit-chat about that, let’s shine a spotlight on…
Friday’s Fashion Icon🤩
Follow Hanna on Pinterest for more whimsical OOTD inspo ✨
I’ve been trying my best to recharge my energy, whenever possible, and refocus myself on nurturing my basic needs to get out of deep slumps… however, it’s been seemingly harder to truly focus on what I need lately. And now with a few weeks of energetic chaos on the way, the overwhelming noise will only get louder…
So it’s truly the best time to focus on proper self-care habits and kick that new attitude into motion, and I have a few ideas curating in my mind on how I’ll connect with nature, practice mindful meditation and engage in creative expression, to mention just a few 🔮
And to continue summoning good vibes to end tonight’s short n’ spooky post, I’ve actually been refreshing some of my presence online to accurately reflect the creepy, chic vibes and boost some of those dark, moody feels 🔮
