The Money Faerie ✨

Start social media at any budget! You're going to be a social media star! I've researched and tested for years from editing, storage, to filming, so here's THE recommendations! We've also included software and legal in addition to gear because it's really annoying to research these after the fact or on the fly. We ALWAYS want to create to 1. Serve (and serve ✨), but also 2. Serve ourselves which means MONETIZE. You must have a plan to make money if this is a full time gig plan. When you start making money, think about business structures to protect yourself legally, get tax benefits, and have small business insurance. Other creators with recommendations I took research from include Ali Abdaal, however, I'm not a fan of his recommendations as he puts you on an expensive non-4k camera at lower budgets, when it's better to just be using your phone at that point.

Have fun, stick to your budget! My philosophy to survive any income was to have a mini luxury splurge- I almost think of it more of a comfort spend— to feel really beautiful or loved or cared in every budget (like smoothing on a nice beeswax lip balm while running to work). And having something bigger to dream for— a luxury purchase to aspire and dream for that income level! Sometimes you need something with weight and heft to feel really beautiful in your life.These are yummy favorites, many from ethical and/or woman-owned small businesses, to bring that sense of nourishment and being loved and comforted to your life. Remember, always meet your savings, investing, and debt payoff first as those are the real luxuries! And always consider if you want to use this money to play in the stock market or day trade instead.

World-changing romance, money philosophy- here's the books I've read which have especially changed or bettered my life (or simply a cozy read).

Treasure yourself! Tesoro mio ✨I went through many years of sickness (the root of many magics), and came out with so called “clean”, green beauty hacks, medicinal herbs, and SALVES! Natural care can be CHEAPER and more effective for inside-out health as well. I swear by some of these teas and supplements for better sleep, pain ease, less period pain, and more joy. Sometimes you don't need to spend a lot to look great, and the best “hacks” are in your kitchen cabinet or local co-op herb bins. Also some of the recommendations are from my Grandmother's (may she rest in lavender) love of herbs, femininity, that beautiful, twisting, pearl-like spirit, and the natural world. Also many tips from my family learned over literally decades! Slather yourself with the fruits and beauty.There's always a balance of cost and sustainability, so I've linked to Amazon in places, but also lead elsewhere where possible.

If you've had a concussion, you may be impacted with later mental health, mood, and other issues. Here's recommendations. Being hot means good mental health! This isn't medical advice, however, personal recommendations from YEARS of concussions and recovery as well as consulting with concussion expert doctors. I worked at one of the best clinics in the area that actually helped concussion recovery and many of these aren't known or recommended. Many people end up having mood, panic disorders, or even effects such as dizziness and loss of balance (post-concussive) following a concussion because they don't get proper care and don't connect their symptoms back to a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) which is many concussions. Basically, after a concussion, your body releases excessive neurotransmitters into your system in an attempt to steady and save the brain from impact. This can lead to a rise and then a drop off of serotonin, dopamine, and other neurochemicals we need to be happy similar to a drug crash. We want to flush these from the liver to tell our brain to start making these again. Also: massage is your friend. After concussion, our neck and shoulder muscles tense to steady our head of perceived danger which can lead to long-term health issues. We want to have regular massage and look into the Epley maneuver or greater physical therapy if we experience dizziness. Other deeper recommendations include neurofeedback, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and acupuncture.
