I tried a digital detox this week for 10 days ( also no wifi ) it was weird at first I felt so bored anyways I found myself reading books ( I read the pivot year and another French book ) , enjoying my Selfcare routines , journaling , read saved articles it was fun and also I started using my notes app more and Omg I couldnāt stop making lists for anything and everything that comes to my mind itās like a brain dump I loved it today I used less socials I watched a movie , had a one hour study sesh , yummy homemade crepes in the afternoon , journaled a bit it was fun and I barely had the urge to open tiktok ( Iām a tiktok addict ) but short form content isnt fun anymore I mean tiktok is cool but Iām more obsessed with long form content recently so yeah will def try more digital detox days
Hereās a list of perfumes / perfumes notes recs ( I love browsing on fragrantica for hours )

The Brazilian bum bum cream is an absolute star. Been using it since more than a year now and it literally smells so good. You can pair it up with the Burberry her perfume to smell even better :)

i was on holiday and barely checked my phone for three weeks. highly recommend. good for the soul. a reminder that social media is not real life and 90% of it is marketing anyway. your friends will be fine if you donāt watch their stories every single day. go outside. touch grass. smell the flowers. go for a swim.

i have been on a journey to untangle my tasks from my iPhone.
i'd be out in the world someplace, pull out my phone for something as menial as checking the time, or as well intentioned as capturing the moment in a pic, and immediately get sucked into texts and instagramā¢ļø and all the virtual things happening in this tiny lil demon light box.
the goal: pull my phone out of my bag ONLY for phone things. that's texting, calling, and apps that can't be replaced
the solutions so far:
š°ļø i started with a watch (shoutout Casio) and i wear it every day. once I broke the habit of checking my phone for the time, I felt legitimately freed from something Major
š· I bought a small digital camera to leave in my bag. the pics look better and I donāt get distracted by the virtual world when I'm trying to capture something in the now
š I bought a kindle. It fits in my jacket pocket (literally) and gives me something to do when I'm on the train or waiting for an appointment that isn't scrolling
I just realized so much of the time I spent on my phone was not intentional. It was a thing I was doing in between Other intentional moments. my screen time is still several hours a day (donāt get me wrong) but I think my brain has healed at least 3%.

look up these words and figure out the best way to do it on your end. i was offline for years after a major addiction & it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I'm back now but I feel like I literally pressed "RESET" and I don't take it all so seriously anymore and actually crave being offline. The only way I was able to do this was about 2 months before I did so, I learned about this and did some research and was able to do it. The first month was hard but after that, it was addicting and liberating!!
Other things that help: turn your phone on night mode at all time OR take it one step further and make it greyscale.
Also look at WHY are you on the phone? Keep in mind, many companies and apps have paid people big money to answer that question and keep you on without even thinking about it. Figuring out your why and relationship with the device is a powerful thing you can do for yourself!!
Also fall back in love with the things you love. I promise there are things offline (& this is coming from a major online digital girlie who's basically an indoor cat lol) that you can throw yourself into. Think about all the things you love or any of your future career goals based on your interests. Even if your goal is to grow on social media/online! You will need to hone in and nurture your hobbies anyways to do so!
