5 Dark Academia YouTubers

Bespectacled⛓️

I only found this channel recently and it’s already become one of my favourites. It’s primarily a BookTube channel (for you literature lovers) but Maya makes videos on a range of topics such as lifestyle, social justice and school/productivity. Her videos have major autumn vibes and are extremely well made and captivating. She has a guide to dark academia (and Cottagecore if that’s something you’re interested in) as well as a DA vlog. She's only at 600 subscribers! Super underrated, so be sure to go check out her channel.

R.C Waldun⛓️

The dark academia is strong in this one! Robin is a writer but has many interests. His videos are mostly centered around reading and writing but has many videos on learning. He too has a guide to dark academia which was the first video I watched of his. If you’re interested in writing, expanding your knowledge or becoming more dedicated to learning and studying I highly recommend his channel.

Bernadette Banner⛓️

Bernadette Banner is a huge YouTuber and undeniably one of the largest CosTubers on the platform. Her channel isn’t explicitly DA but she does have a wardrobe video which screams the aesthetic. Her videos are focused on historical dress usually Victorian or Edwardian that overlaps with the dark academia aesthetic. She also has lifestyle videos like vlogs and other history related videos. She is extremely charming and has the cutest guinea pig. Do check her out!

A CRIative Life ⛓️

I found this channel because I wanted to immerse myself in the Italian language as it’s what I’m studying. Christina is an Italian YouTuber who creates content on productivity, sustainability and lifestyle. Her channel radiates light academia. Neutral soft beiges that make my heart flutter. They are very calming videos but do not have English subtitles, so this one is for you my Italian

DressRelief⛓️

Mariel makes fashion and beauty videos. She has many videos about dark academia including outfit ideas, makeup looks, hairstyles and tips. She also has Cottagecore videos! Overall her content is really fun and are sometimes quite relaxing. This is a great channel if you want to develop a dark academia wardrobe but don’t know where to start.

Empowering Movies for Womens🦸🌸

Set It Off (1996) 🌺

Four Black women, all of whom have suffered for lack of money and at the hands of the majority, undertake to rob banks. While initially successful, a policeman who was involved in shooting one of the women's brothers is on their trail. As the women add to the loot, their tastes and interests begin to change and their suspicions of each other increase on the way to a climactic robbery.

Little Women (1994)✨

Louisa May Alcott's autobiographical account of her life with her three sisters in Concord, Massachusetts in the 1860s. With their father fighting in the American Civil War, sisters Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth are at home with their mother, a very outspoken women for her time. The story tells of how the sisters grow up, find love and find their place in the world.

Eat Pray Love (2010) 💮

Liz Gilbert had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.

Carol(2015 ) 🌼

CAROL follows two women from very different backgrounds who find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change. A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol , an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage

Hidden Figures (2016)🌺

As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women, known as "human computers", we follow these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history's greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Gobels Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.

20rt Century Women (2016) 🌸

Love, life, and the struggles of a mother bringing up a son in the the late 70's. The ignorance of a free spirit against the needs of a young man trying to find his true character and beliefs. Living in a bohemian household shared with 3 like minded spirited people to help pay the rent, his mother tries to establish bonds that he cannot deal with. She cannot deal with his inability to talk, and enlists the help of other females in his life to share the burden of his upbringing. Slowly life unravels for them all without understanding how. In spite of their perceived struggles, they all go on to live defined lives without any serious consequences.

Lady Bird (2017 ) ✨

Christine "Lady Bird" MacPherson is a high school senior from the "wrong side of the tracks." She longs for adventure, sophistication, and opportunity, but finds none of that in her Sacramento Catholic high school. LADY BIRD follows the title character's senior year in high school, including her first romance, her participation in the school play, and most importantly, her applying for college.

Hi everyone ! I'm Milena , in this article I'm gonna present you 5 Healthy Autumn Food based on ingrédients from this season. Lil disclaimer : English is not my first language so if I made mistakes feel free to DM me about it, I will be glad to improve my grammar/vocabulary ! Let's start !

Butternut and Sweet Potato

Autumn is the season of gourds and sweet potato and as the weather get colder it's the perfect time of the year for a butternut soup with sweet potato fries.

Mushroom sauce

Mushroom are easily found in Autumn because of the weather is perfect for them to grow. My favorite Autumn dish is the chicken fillet with mushroom sauce. You can eat that with pasta or rice.

Leeks

You probably know the French dish Quiche Lorraine, well this dish is an Autumn alternative with leeks instead of bacon.

Nuts and fruits

You can add figs and grapes with your mix of nuts (such as nuts, hazelnuts and almonds) to make the perfect Autumn breakfast or snack

Chestnut

Chestnuts grilled are probably my favorite Autumn dish/snack !

Wohooo! It is officially fall! The weather gets colder and it is time to dress accordingly. Here are items that I think shouldn't be missing in your closet for this year's fall:

1. Sweater Dresses

We love wearing dresses in summer, but they are usually way too thin for fall. Sweater Dresses, however, are both comfortable and keep you warm. Perfect for chilly, but not freezing weather! Pair them with tights for an extra layer!

2. Ponchos

There is nothing cozier than a poncho - they are the clothing equivalent of a hug. Ponchos look amazing with jeans, dresses, leggings.. throw them over anything!

3. Scarfs

For an extra layer, just put on a scarf. Not only do they keep the cold away from you, but they also look incredibly stylish and chic.

4. Boots

Whether short or knee-height, boots keep your feet warm and stylish in the colder weather!

5. Leather Jackets

Leather jackets are a nice option if you don't want to wear a long coat, but still need something on top of your sweater.

Do you know this excitement when the new school year is approaching, so you read and watch all of the "back to school" articles and videos and suddenly you have a need to buy all those perfect notebooks, pens etc? If you are reading this, welcome, I was also that person - but - in this year I (finally) realized that I (We?) do not need to get brand new "essentials stuffs" to be ready for back to school season. Maybe except this one if you do not have it:

WATER BOTTLE - metal or glass, as you wish

Eco thing - sure thing! But think about how much money you can save if you don't buy bottled water every day. Furthermore, some of the shops have a possibility to exchange used glass bottles for new ones, so you only pay once for the "packaging", and later on, you're just paying for the fluid.

changes in LAPTOP

Many articles on weheartit already talk about what ECOSIA is :) I encourage you to take a look at them.

UNWRITTEN pages from an old notebook

One time, I was cleaning my attic , when I found many of my old notebooks. I have realized that there are many blank pages in them, so I decided to just cut them off and fasten them into a loose-leaf binder, for later use (This can be done in many nice and creative ways).

PENCILS > pens

Easyy, I am just saying that pencils are underestimated. Think about, when can you use them instead of pen. They are the more eco-friendly option, and can also be fancy-looking.

NUTS snack pack

I found it useful to have an "emergency snack" nearby when I am studying. Reccomendation: any kind of nuts which are good sources of fat, fiber and protein, they also contain a number of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and vitamin E.

- Sad cry movies -

Wherever we want to admit it or not, everyone is sad once in a while.

Everyone deals with it in their own way, of course.

For me is watching sad cry movies (besides listening to sad cry songs) a good remedy.

When watching sad cry movies, I get the feeling that I'm not the only one that's sad or hurt. That there are other people who are feeling this way too.

I decided to write down my favorite movies which I like to watch (and cry to) when I'm feeling sad, down or hurt.

I hope these movies can mean something to you as wel <33

hi everyone. today I'm going to share five healthy but delicious recipes you can make with family and friends to continue the fall season.

Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon kosher salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), at room temperature 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar 1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 4 teaspoons zest and 2 tablespoons juice) 1 large egg 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar 1 ½ tablespoons milk, plus more, as needed

Instructions:

Cookies: 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. 3. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium, beat together the butter and half the cream cheese until combined, about 2 minutes. 4. Beat in the granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons lemon zest until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes more. 5. Beat in the egg until combined. 6. Add flour mixture and beat until combined. 7. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. 8. Portion the dough into 2-tablespoon scoops and arrange them on the sheets at least 1 1/2 inches apart. 9. Bake, rotating halfway through baking, until the cookies are puffed and set and just beginning to turn golden, 10 to 12 minutes. 10. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks until cookies are completely cooled.

Cream Cheese Glaze: 1. Whisk together the remaining cream cheese with the confectioners’ sugar, milk and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. 2. Add additional lemon juice or milk until mixture forms the proper consistency for a glaze. 3. Drizzle over cooled cookies. 4. Let cookies stand at room temperature until the glaze has set.

Vegan Brownies Recipe

Ingredients 4 tablespoons ground flax 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup vegan butter (earth balance brand), melted *see instructions 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips OR roughly chopped chocolate pieces

Instructions

Make the flax eggs by stirring the ground flax and water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 7 x 11 pan with parchment paper.

Melt the vegan butter (earth balance brand preferred), and measure 1/2 cup. I do this by microwaving the vegan butter in a glass measuring cup, in 30 second intervals, until melted.

In a large bowl, whisk the melted vegan butter and sugars together. Add the flax eggs and vanilla, whisk until evenly combined.

Over the same large bowl, sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Add the salt and baking powder and stir with a large wooden spoon until just combined, do not over mix.

Fold in half of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spoon or your hands. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top of the batter.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. The brownies may still be bubbling and not look done, but they will firm up a lot as they cool.

Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then pull the brownies out, using the parchment paper and let cool for another 15-30 minutes before slicing and serving

Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 banana frozen 1/4 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/3 cup frozen blueberries 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Instructions:

1. Add the unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, rolled oats, plain greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, frozen blueberries, and scoop of protein powder into a blender. 2. Blend until smooth. 3. If you find that your smoothie is too thick, you can always add some more almond milk, little by little or a little bit of ice to get it thicker, if necessary.
