Oh wow! My previous lil video post blew up! (Well, for one of my posts at least). And I saw a few people saying they like the name Citrus for one of my lil Mer dudes in Guppy Love.
So tada! Not a merboy, obviously, but the fish I based his scale coloration on: the Mandarin Dragonet.
I have to give credit to @meetthetank , @dragonfuckerllc and @kilouekas-photos for helping me find these lil dudes. I was looking for a tropical fish with ultramarine blue in them, and they certainly delivered!
Aren’t they so pretty??? >^<
Aaaaand have to thank my roommate for the name. It’a way better than my stand in name “Steffan” after Steffan Argus (I like his songs Ship in a Bottle and Abandon Ship) Not that it’s a bad name, but I like Citrus more. Plus it’s right there in the species: Mandarin Dragonet.

The List of Best Face Washes for Acne Prone Skin
Acne is the worst nightmare for people of all ages and gender. These are tiny projections on the skin. These may appear as blackheads, whiteheads, or inflammatory red-coloured acne. 
Acne occurs when the follicles are clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, not allowing the sebum to escape. The causes of acne can be many, like excess oil produced by the follicles, dead skin cells accumulating in the pores, and bacteria buildup in the pores. Whatever the cause, a healthy diet, lifestyle, and consistent skincare regime can help tackle issues associated with acne.
There is no single solution to tackle the issue of acne, but using a suitable cleanser could be the starting point. It's best to use an acidic face wash for acne-prone skin, but acne-affected skin is also acidic, so you need one that balances the pH as well.
Important Ingredients
As suggested by dermatologists, the best face wash for acne-prone skin should include the following two components-
Salicylic Acid- It is perfect for exfoliation. It exfoliates and removes the dead skin cells that clog the pores. It is highly recommended for skin prone to whiteheads and blackheads.
Benzoyl Peroxide- It is good for exfoliation, reducing oil, and promoting skin cell turnover. It has antimicrobial properties.
List of Facewashes for Acne Prone Skin
Here is a list of face washes that will help eliminate acne and obtain smooth and flawless skin.
1) Lemon Purifying Facewash:
This facewash by the Body Shop is a purifying facewash which contains natural lemon essential oil. It not only makes the skin feel refreshed but also removes bacteria and other impurities from the skin. This gentle face wash is suitable for daily use. 
2) Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser:
Tea tree oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is famous for treating acne-prone or infected skin. This face wash not only enables getting rid of oil, dirt, and acne but also avoids overdrying the skin, leaving it hydrated and fresh. Its foaming action is also gentle on the skin and highly suitable for sensitive skin.
3) Mamaearth Charcoal Face Wash:
Charcoal is famous for its adsorption properties, which thoroughly remove dirt and impurities from the skin. This face wash has charcoal, clay, and coffee (an ingredient renowned for its scrubbing effect). This is a suitable face wash for acne-prone skin in India as it has a soft texture that is not harsh on blemished skin and suits all skin types.
4) Garnier Men Acnofight:
Why should only women be pampered? Here is a facewash for the acne-prone skin of men. It is a gentle yet effective face wash for blackheads and acne. Salicylic acid has a soothing benefit for the skin. This soothes, clarifies, and refreshes the skin of men.
5) Plum Green Tea Pore Cleansing Face Wash:
Not all skin is sensitive. Some require the action of concentrated ingredients to get rid of the oil and dirt deeply clogged in the pores of the skin. This facewash has been developed keeping blemished skin in mind. It has miraculous benefits for acne-prone skin if used consistently. 
6) Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic acid
The main culprit often hides behind the scene and enjoys escaping prying eyes as the world is busy catching hold of the obvious accused. Here, excess oil secretion is the main culprit, and face wash for acne-prone skin helps eliminate this oil. This face wash effectively removes the impurities and oil from the skin, leaving it refreshed.
There are numerous options of face wash to select from but choose the one which suits you best. Trying and testing is the best way to figure out what's best for your skin. Among several other leading brands, The Body Shop tops the list as it offers a range of vegan and cruelty-free products like facewash for acne-prone skin, serum, toners, and moisturisers which can be used for a healthy and long-lasting skincare regime. The range of products is wide and varied to suit the needs of different skin types and associated issues. The company believes in inclusion and acceptance of all and thus strives toward solving a wide spectrum of problems in society and the environment. Follow the above-mentioned suggestions, and eventually, skin issues will become a thing of the past.

Get Your Morning Started 🤍
I bet you already read dozens of morning routines but maybe I can offer you a few different tips and tricks with my step by step morning routine.
waking up early is essential to make the most out of the day. If you aren‘t an early bird, try different kinds of alarm clocks (light, nature sounds, etc).
After waking up make sure there is some water on your nightstand and drink it. Start hydrating!
Try to avoid your phone as long as possible - no one needs your attention that early in the morning. Be considerate and put your attention on yourself!
Don‘t make your bed. Srsly! Open your window and air your bedding first. Making your bed right after getting up is a safe place for mites. While ventilating the bedroom you can go the bathroom, prepare your drinks/breakfast, journal or meditate. Make your bed 30 min after leaving your bed.
Meditate. Light a candle or incense sticks. Roll out your fitness mat and choose between guided meditations or non guided meditations (I recommend guided for beginners, you can find some on YouTube or Spotify) meditation is key try to stick to it daily!
Journal for organisation and personal growth. 5 to 10 minutes only (!!!) there are many journals out there, I personally use the 5 Minute Journal but any journal would do. You can use a plain notepad and look up journaling ideas on pinterest I really don‘t want you to spend money on stuff you don‘t necessarily need just for the aesthetic.
Move your body honey! Do a YouTube workout or go for a run. Walk your staircase up and down do whatever you feel like doing but try to ignore your lazy bum trying to make you skip this. Get stared on this one you can thank me later.
Breakfast, baby. Nutrition and hydration is non-negotiable! Have your vegetables and fruits, drink your coffee or matcha, don’t forget to drink your lemon water. Don‘t skip breakfast to loose wait angel. Your organs need the calories to function during the day so treat yourself with love and consideration.
Keep calm and moisturise. Quick shower or wash to get ready for the day. Skincare is everything. I’m currently investing (and testing) Korean skincare for myself but a few products are key: cleanser -> toner -> antioxidant serum (vitamin c) -> eye cream -> moisturizer -> sunscreen
Make up and dress up. Find your personal style you feel comfortable with and you‘re good to go. You can look up outfit capsules on pinterest for wardrobe ideas. In terms of make up I personally think less is more. Mascara, lip oil, some rouge on the cheeks and vaseline and you‘re fine. I personally prefer a sleek hairstyle.
Listen to podcast. This step is easily combined with breakfast or getting ready. I‘m currently listening to Confessions by Anastazia but I’ll probably make a playlist with my fave podcast episodes from various podcasts and share it with you.
Bisous!

wonyoungism: a guide
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
wonyoungism is inspired by jang wonyoung and mixes a coquette, cute, pink pilates princess style with self improvement to help us become the best and healthiest versions of ourselves!
ways to express wonyoungism
have a morning routine
a morning routine helps set the tone for the rest of your day. while you can include whatever you want, typical wonyoungism morning routines include waking up early, stretching, skincare, drinking tea or lemon water, and doing your makeup and hair. do what works for you and makes you feel the best!
take care of your skin
research your skin type and find what products and routines will work best for you. no need for fancy or expensive products! in my experience, minimalism works best for my skin. a good cleanser and moisturizer are key, but you can also include things like toner, exfoliating scrubs, night cream, eye cream, and serums if you need or want them. wonyoung is an ambassador for innisfree skincare products, like these:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
have a nutritious, balanced diet
having a nutritious diet keeps you healthy and energized, helps your skin and hair, makes you feel good, and has so many other benefits! focus on getting your daily servings of fruit and veggies and getting your protein and other nutrients and vitamins in, but don’t restrict yourself to the point of bad mental health. here’s a good chart to start with!
Tumblr media
find a daily exercise regimen
most workouts you’ll find with wonyoungism are pilates, walking, and yoga (which i highly recommend!) but find a workout plan that YOU like! there are so many different types of workouts out there, and you shouldn’t force yourself to do something you hate. try out different things and figure out what works best for you. if you do want to practice pilates and yoga, here are some good channels on youtube:
move with nicole
dansique fitness
yoga with kassandra
eleni fit
sanne vloet
bailey brown
implement productive habits into your day
instead of mindlessly scrolling in your free time, try to implement productive and healthy activities. these things can include:
working out or stretching
drawing or painting
researching something that interests you
learn a new skill or a new language
read
write short stories
make a new playlist
go outside/go for a walk/spend time in nature
journal
make a vision board
be kind to yourself
sounds self explanatory, but it can be so much harder than it sounds for some of us. it may take some time, but realize that you are only human and you are doing the best you can. it’s okay to not feel as healthy or happy as you think you should, but you are absolutely valid and it is okay to be gentle with yourself. you are the only you there will ever be, embrace being you!
have an evening routine
evening/night routines are important because it closes out your day and gets you ready for a good nights sleep. it’s so helpful to have an evening routine that helps you wind down and get relaxed mentally and physically. this can include whatever makes you feel calm and happy, but it can also include things like stretching, lighting a candle, skincare, reading, meditation, and drinking a warm drink like tea!

Morning Routines
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We're all looking at those Instagram influencers who somehow manage to wake up at 5 am, do meditation, journal, do a 15-step Korean skincare routine, and go to the gym. And then they make a green smoothie and avocado toast, get dressed in a Chanel outfit and then sit at their fancy desk with a vanilla latte and a croissant.
This is not realistic. You probably already know that, but it likely won't stop you from trying to change your routine bit by bit to look a little like theirs. That didn't stop me, at least.
But now I've come to realise that no matter how much I try, I'll never be able to have a routine like the ones I see online. Because it doesn't exist. It's all curated for aesthetic appeal and generates a sense of false productivity in the watcher's brain. We feel motivated looking at those videos and never get around to changing our own life because we're too busy living vicariously through our phones.
Here's some things you should add to your morning routine, not to be fancy, but to feel better. This is coming from someone who's tried the unrealistic routines, and I now incorporate all of these into my routine. You can skip or add things according to your schedule.
S-T-R-E-T-C-H: Do your body a favour and loosen up your muscles. Nothing better than having a good stretch that wakes your body up.
Drink water: Before you put anything in your system, drink water. Not coffee, not tea. Plain warm water. And I don't mean lemon water. Some people might not agree, but lemon water strips your teeth of the enamel. It also is acidic, so all that bullshit they talk about it being "alkaline and pH balancing" is nonsense. Warm water is the way to go.
Make your bed: A clean bed should be the first thing you do after you wake up. At the end of the day, you'll thank yourself because it will be clean, and fresh and you can fall into bed immediately.
Hygiene: Wash your face to get rid of crusty eyes and sleep. Do a basic skincare routine (cleanser, moisturizer) so you'll feel fresher. Brush your teeth and hair.
Move your body: It doesn't matter what you do, even if it's for 15 minutes. Go for a walk, do a Zumba workout, or squeeze in a HIIT session. You can find lots of tutorials on YouTube (Caroline Girvan, growingannanas, Chloe Ting). Either way, working out will help you feel more motivated and happier. It's the endorphins.
Clean yourself: Set aside some time for showering, slathering on lotion, and doing your (real) skincare and makeup routine. Pick an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself.
Eat something: ALWAYS make some food. Your body has been famished for hours on end, give it some fuel. Make a healthy breakfast, or prep one the night before. If you don't get very hungry in the mornings, have a banana, and pack a mid-morning snack beforehand so you don't reach for chips.
Do 3 things: Make a to-do list of everything you need to do today. Don't overwhelm yourself. Then, knock off 3 easy tasks from the list that you can do quickly. You'll be filled with a sense of motivation, and it'll be easier for you to complete your list. It can be chores, it could be some assigned reading. Just get it done.
Gratitude or prayer: You don't need to sit for 15 minutes to practice gratitude. You can think of things your thankful for on the way to school or work or practice deep breathing/say a small prayer on the subway or bus. You don't HAVE to do it, but it definitely makes you realise how much you have in life and appreciate it more.
Kindness: Start your day with kindness. Compliment your barista, smile at the old lady on the street, pet the stray cat. There's so much love in the world, and you have so much love inside you, and it's beautiful to be a part of it.
No longer will I be stuck in a rut. I cannot be confined to being a bitter, unhealthy person when I know there's a smiling, healthy, happy version of me in the future. Deep breaths. You'll get there babe.
<3

Maximizing Beauty Physically
Consistency is key!
Leave your place and look at what’s hot around you. The internet is not always accurate.
If you’re going to wear straight hair, gloss it, flat iron or press it so it won’t be puffy & dull. My straightened, silky 150% density bang wig stands out more than a blonde’s limp, dull hair since I dyed it to complement my skintone. I’ve seen results. I am a Maybelline Mocha 360, and this haircolor brought my face to LIFE.
Fix your posture, open your body language.
Wear makeup. Makeup emphasizes the beauty inside, instead of overshadowing your natural beauty. I am more attractive than a girl who’s barefaced but naturally attractive features through makeup.
Practice regimens you do for special occasions whenever possible!
For lipstick, go based off your flushed shade to look natural. MAC Brick-o-la with lip liner is my closest!
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shading! I’m extreme in my makeup, using 3-5 blushes to create a color gradient that copies my natural cheek contour since applying extremely natural makeup takes careful consideration. You don’t need to go to my extreme though! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you’re going to wear lashes, wear eye makeup and blush as well. The more length your lashes have, the less eye makeup you need. A flat face given dimension by lashes is alluring, but it isn’t cohesive altogether. You need warmth and color to even out the depth + extra coverage of your face from lashes.
Slug the night before and massage your face. Wash your face and clean your ears please. Makeup remover, water by itself, and witch hazel aren’t face cleansers.
Earrings, necklace, ring and a bracelet.
Paint your nails.
Exfoliate a few times a week! I bought African net cloths for easy exfoliation. Follow up with water based moisturizer then lubricating lotion.
⭐️ If you groan about features other women have but you don’t, imitate or stop complaining. This isn’t from insecurity, it’s maximizing our beauty. I purposely seek out overseas dating sites or pages ran by men worshipping a single culture of women to find out their aesthetic culture, then going to their region’s makeup artists on IG to copy their look/products. ⭐️⭐️
Infuse your water, and walk on the treadmill/outside. I beat my all time record Sept. 12th & 18th by walking 5.5mi and the results reflect in my energy. Freeze cucumber slices overnight and add a dash of lemon to my water for the day!
Maximize the pretty!! 💖💖

How would Jason Grace spoil you? boyfriend hcs list
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
author's note: ik i have an angsty jason grace prompt in my asks and i swear im working on it! But this idea just popped up on my mind and I've been thinking about it all night yesterday omgg. Let me know if you guys want a Leo/Percy/Frank version of this, I mostly write for Jason since he's my bbg but I might actually do the others this time since the idea is so cute!
I'll start off by saying, Jason is a selfcare supporter bf.
Okay so yk how the Romans in CJ have such high standards? They literally exhibit royal/regal energy, and are super fans of luxury stuff.
Jason despite being influenced by greeks would always be a roman. Whether he likes it or not, there will always be roman blood in him. So he makes these cute/simple ideas for dates/gifts but his execution is just pure sophistication. He's SO simple yet so fancy, and Ik they're contradictions but I promise I'll explain.
like this boy would make sure to run you a nice warm roman bath after you come back from a dangerous/tiresome quest to ease your muscles. Cute and simple right? Wrong. This man would buy all sorts of expensive bath perfumes, bath bombs, fragranted petals, etc to make it extra special for you.
See so this is what I mean when I say his ideas are cute, but executed in a very fancy way.
He LOVES spoiling you with self care products, like sheet masks, lotion, cleansers, hair masks, etc. like he simply does NOT care about the money, as long as his girl is taking care of herself?? That's all that matters tbh
This is mostly because Jason, as a kid soldier, never had any time for himself, the closest thing he's ever done to "selfcare" is probably take long baths + trim his hair lol
jason was blessed with his mother's ethereal actress beauty okay. So selfcare or no self care would have zero effect on him physically bc bro would still look majestic.
ANYWAYS he feels like his inner child just kinda heals when he sees you prioritising yourself and he admires it sm :((
would be ecstatic if you rope him into self care. He would be sceptical at first but then as you're applying a face mask on him he'd be like "wait this is actually so relaxing what" and you love the way his face muscles soften at that. Like he really deserves a break and some relaxation, you'd often trick him into using your skincare products intentionally bc he deserves self care.
once he felt so soothed with the lemon facemask he was wearing that he fell asleep on your shoulder and was all zzz 🥺
and would make sure to restock all your products if they run out.
he feels that the self-care has more of a mental and emotional effect on him rather than physical
Which is what matters to him
honestly?? He supports you if you want to wear makeup. Like he'd think you look gorgeous either way but if you like wearing lipgloss? So be it. You get any lipgloss you want he's paying. He just LOVES that you love yourself too :( and would do anything to make you feel comfortable.
also
Food.
This man loves investing on food. Again, it's bc he never even had the time to properly eat as a legionnaire :(
So he'd love to take you out to places and just munch on tasty food and talk. New Rome has bomb food okay. Bro just never got to eat them.
Lmao he's like everyone's grandma when it comes to food. "Have you eaten? You HAVE to eat!! I'll get you food! Go back to your room!"
would spoonfeed you soup if you're sick bc nuh uh you ain't going without eating hun 😤
hes the worried anxious mother hen bf okay fight me.
Food + selfcare = Jason Grace's love language

Femme Fatale Beauty Playbook: Tips & Tricks To Feel Clean, Confident & Seductive Daily
Some beauty tips and tricks to feel your best daily.
Starting off with some miscellaneous advice: Coconut oil is the most versatile ingredient – for your hair, skin, nails, and even down there. Find your signature scent (apply it to your clothes instead of your skin whenever possible). Sugar scrubs are the answer to most flakiness or bumps on your skin. B vitamins, vitamin D, and omega-3s are essential to healthy hair, skin, and nails.
Hope this helps xx
Hair:
Shampoo your skull, condition the rest: Focus shampoo on your roots and work it through your scalp; concentrate conditioner on the ends and work your way up until you reach the base of your skull - around your upper ear lobe.
Always comb, never brush, your hair when wet: Gently use a wide-tooth comb, from root to tip, on wet hair to prevent breakage.
Use a special towel to dry your hair: My favorite is from Crown Affair (pricey for what it is but worthwhile in the long-term), but a Turbie Twist from the drugstore works infinitely better than a regular towel that weighs down and causes frizzy, damaged hair
Always use a heat protection spray before blow drying or straightening/curling your hair: (Briogeo and Oribe products are my love for all haircare products, including their blowdry creams – also love R +Co. for a heat protection styling mist).
Choose your hair ties wisely: Use seamless or silk hair ties exclusively to prevent breakage or awkward creases on your hair. Wear a silk scrunchie if you prefer. These hair ties from Amazon are my holy grail (only $7 for 100 hair ties!), and they come in a portable ziplock bag.
Skin:
Always use a disposable cloth when washing your face: Regular towels store bacteria and can cause breakouts too easily. These facial wipes from Amazon are my holy grail.
Wear sunscreen daily: Yes, even when you spend all day indoors. UV rays can interact with your skin through windows, too.
Niacinamide, Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid, & Tea Tree Oil are among the few skincare ingredients almost everyone should consider incorporating into their skincare routine.
Learn the correct order to apply the products in your skincare routine: Cleanser, Toner, Serum, Eye Cream, Spot Treatment, Moisturizer, Sunscreen (or Retinol/Skin Oil at night).
Remember: From a dermatologist's perspective, your face starts (or ends) at your nipples. So, ensure you're cleansing, exfoliating, and applying sunscreen daily to your neck, chest, and décolletage to keep your skin smooth, youthful, and well-hydrated.
Vaseline is a great (affordable) alternative to traditional eye creams.
Sugar scrub your facial hair for a more gentle alternative to waxing (Combine sugar, lemon, and water). Laser hair removal, especially under your arms and your arms/legs is life-changing.
Follow up a warm shower with a dry brush and coconut oil for smoother, firmer skin.
Always apply a hydrating lip balm, mask, or Vaseline, hand cream, and moisturizer to your feet before going to sleep.
Layer complementary scents. Ensure the scents of body wash, lotion, and perfume work well together and don't clash.
Makeup:
Learn your skin undertones and educate yourself on color theory (I can share a post on this on the Post+ feed if you want some more educational content on these types of topics – I write about them for a living!).
Test any foundation, concealer, or face powder on your wrists, too.
Don't forget to color-match your bronze and blush: They can appear orange or muddy if you don't find a product with the correct shade or undertones for your skin type.
Invest in products that go on your face, brow products, and eyeliners. Great mascaras and lip products are easy to find at a drugstore or relatively cheap (I suggest Covergirl and d NYX, respectively).
Apply concealer in a triangle; don't dot it around your eyes for better coverage.
If you have oily skin (or it's humid outside), apply powder before your liquid/cream products. Set them again with a light powder to lock the color in.
Apply mascara from tip to base for the best lashes of your life: One coat on the tip, another from middle to tip, and the last coat from base to tip.
In a pinch, use a fragrance-free moisturizer and a q-tip to remove excess makeup (no more raccoon eyes).
Use a light nude or white eyeshadow underneath your brow to make them appear more defined.
Apply face powder under your eyes to help the eyeliner on your waterline last longer.
Create a simple daily makeup routine formula: 1 skin coverage (foundation/concealer), 1 skin color (a favorite blush or bronzer), brows, mascara, an eye-definer (eyeliner or shadow), and a signature "your lips but better" lip shade (1-2 shades deeper or lighter than your natural lip color): This formula provides you the basics, so you never have an excuse not to put yourself together for the day (5-10 minute routine here).
Discover your day-to-night hero product: Always keep a slightly deeper lipstick, a smoky eyeshadow, or liquid liner in your bag to transition your day look into the evening with one portable product.
