Femme Fatale Guide: Habits To Become Your Best Self In 2023
Some habits, routine ideas, and mindset shifts to help make 2023 your best year yet. Hope this helps and inspires you to reach your goals for the next 12 months. Remember to work hard and take care of yourself. Once you put your mind to it, the sky is the limit! xx
Make Your Meals Plant-Based & Produce-Focused: Center your meals around a variety of vegetables, fruits, plant proteins, potatoes, and unprocessed plant-based fats (avocado, nuts, seeds) and minimal whole grains.
Get Creative With Stress Eating Substitutions: Discover healthy swaps for your meals and snacks to ensure what you're eating without sacrificing your goals. Some simple substitutes include mixing in cauliflower rice into your whole grain rice to add nutrients/volume while slashing the calories, using half an avocado with lemon as a salad dressing over spoonfuls of olive oil, swapping meat for lentils in a chill, soups, or stir fry, choosing frozen grapes or whipped bananas with berries over candy or ice cream for a sweet treat, etc. Remember: Spices and seasoning are your best friends.
Be Mindful of Your Beverage Consumption: Consuming enough water is essential. However, if you get bored with water, add some herbal and black tea, black coffee, or fruit-filled water into the mix. Cinnamon, vanilla, and apple or peach teas are great options to satisfy cravings and prevent mindless snacking (not a substitute for food – eat if you're genuinely hungry). For the winter season, try using some pure cocoa powder with hot water, vanilla extract, and a tablespoon or two of plant-based milk for a healthy hot cocoa drink.
Prioritize Long Walks: Carve out 1-2 hours of your day to get 10-12K steps in at least 5 days a week. Go outside if possible or jump on a treadmill/walking pad to get in some movement while watching TV, talking on the phone, or catching up on some emails.
Find A Simple Resistance Workout You Love: Yoga, pilates, or an at-home weight-training or body-weight exercise you can do at home. Browse different YouTube videos for 10-30 minute workouts to try or sign up for a class in your local area to make it a more social experience (and force yourself to take accountability to show up in the first place).
Create Short & Long "Bookend" Routines: Create a simple routine for the beginning and end of the task-filled portion of your day. For most of us, these routines would be done in the morning and evening/at night before and after work, school, or doing chores/errands. Let go of the rigid idea that these routines need to be done at certain times of the day. Set yourself up to win and tailor them to your schedule. Consider these short routines (like drinking a cup of coffee/tea, reading, meditation, journaling, a walk, or a short dancing session) your warm-up and cool-down sessions of the day. Having these rituals to look forward to will give you the energy and motivation to do what you need to get done each day.
Practice This 10-10-10 Mindfulness Practice: Make time for at least 10 pages of reading, 10 minutes of meditation, and 10 minutes of journaling daily (This can include shadow work) either in the morning or nighttime to clear and reset your mindset for the day.
Take An Hour To Plan Out Your Week: It's most convenient to do this power hour on a weekend (I typically reserve an hour before dinner on Sunday for weekly planning). Write out all of your main work tasks, schedule any due date reminders (for work, bills, chores, and other life necessities), must-do errands, emails and calls or appointments to make, etc.). I like using the Productivity Planner from Intelligent Change and my Reminders app/Google calendar via iCloud to sync deadlines and times to schedule messages/tasks/bills, so everything will be in front of me at the correct time throughout the week.
Prioritize 1-3 Tasks Daily: You might need to choose one large project to work on in small chunks or select a "Big 3" for the day, depending on how complex, lengthy, and time-consuming your projects/errands or appointments are for the day. Using this method allows you to be efficient, streamline your life, and feel productive without overwhelming yourself on the regular (the fastest route to burnout).
Make A Life Admin Schedule (and Stick To It): Choose days (and times if possible) of the week to update certain spreadsheets, batch reply to less urgent messages, clean your house, do laundry, grocery shop, etc. Scheduling these tasks ahead of time eliminates half of the battle for following through on what you need to do. Eventually, you will make these tasks into habitual routines that your brain will allow you to execute effortlessly as though you're in autopilot mode.
Mind Your "Circle of Influence": Do an intake on the 5-10 people you speak to the most or value in your life. If you're an employee, it is probably best to not include your boss or coworkers in this consideration list, as you need to work amicably with them regardless of your personal feelings. Look how you feel during your interactions with your friends, family, intimate partner, or an adjacent love interest. Consider how they speak to you, about themselves, and the topics your conversations are focused around. See if they align with the person you want to be and your goals. Evaluate how close you want to be and what parts of your life you think would be the most beneficial for you and the relationship going into 2023.
Set Boundaries: Understand your expectations, non-negotiables, and limits in every area of your life. Communicate these principles to others clearly, so they know when they are overstepping. Don't tolerate disrespect, but also don't expect others to be mind-readers. If someone knows that they're crossing your boundaries, it is easy to draw the line in the sand and walk away without the guilt or shame that can arise when conflicts originate from a lack of healthy communication.
Incorporate One Creative Practice Into Your Week: Reinvigorate your mind by engaging in at least one hour of creative activity per week. Try drawing, creative writing, poetry, singing, dancing, painting, pottery, jewelry making, graphic design, photography, etc. Even taking a foreign language course or creating a Pinterest inspiration/mood board or organizing your home/closets in an aesthetically-pleasing way counts. Figure out what creative outlet(s) you find satisfying. Prioritize scheduling this practice into your schedule weekly.
Refine Your Signature Look: Edit your wardrobe, try out a new haircut, or change up your makeup routine, nail color, or signature scent. Consider how you can close any gaps between your authentic personal style and how you present yourself on a day-to-day basis. Create an inspiration board if needed to help yourself define your unique aesthetic and gradually work towards embodying your ideal look.
Keep A "Praise" Archive: Create a record of all of the messages you receive highlighting your achievements, milestones, recognitions, or compliments. Compile a folder that acts as your "praise" archive for every area of your life. Create a folder in your work email inbox to save all of your professional achievements, praise, and positive contributions. Do the same for your personal email. Create a folder in your photo album of screenshotted texts. Keep a running list on your "Notes" app of any compliments you receive on your conversational contributions, actions, attire, personality, smile, etc. Hyping yourself up to connect to your highest self.
Create A "Siren" Kit: Take note of all of the clothing, scents, songs, cosmetics, phrases, people, and other aspects of your environment that empower you to feel your sexiest. Keep all of these items/songs/texts together to make it simple to set the mood before engaging in some indulgent action or revisit when you need a boost of confidence throughout your week.
Do A Financial Audit: Create an income/expenses spreadsheet to understand your current spending behavior and budgeting plan going forward. Set up your 2023 financial goals and projections, including target amounts for income, savings, and investments.
Give Yourself A Weekly "Treat": Find a healthy indulgence that you can strategically incorporate into your week. This "treat" can be a massage or nail appointment, permission to watch a movie or a couple episodes of a TV show, a serving of your favorite dessert or a glass of wine, etc. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Consider regular indulgence as an act of self-care not as a sign of weakness or self-destruction. Embracing pleasure does not require guilt or external permission.
Happy New Year, loves! Cheers to an abundant 2023 xx

i wrote a book called cooking is terrible, which you can buy on amazon, or at any of the retailers here, or pretty much anywhere you can buy books.
the main post was getting pretty long, and the faq was also pretty long, but people often ask what kinds of recipes are in it, so here are some example recipes!
butter bean salad
Rinse and drain a tin of butter beans. Add crumbled feta and capers. Dress with lemon juice, olive oil, and a little bit of mustard.
Variations: Add quartered marinated artichoke hearts. Add chopped red onion. Add fresh chopped parsley, or fresh or dried thyme. Add sumac to the dressing. (If you do all these things, you have a main course salad that is fancy enough to serve at a party, or to grudgingly take to the work potluck.)
Keeps in the fridge for three to five days.
shitty soup
This soup isn’t actually shitty—it’s actually nice, and I eat it a lot—but we started calling it shitty soup, and the name’s stuck.
Bring enough stock for one person to a boil.
Add about 2 Tbsp of pastina. When the pasta is nearly done (which is only like, two minutes), crack in an egg and turn the pot to a simmer. After about two minutes of simmering, add some sort of veggie—shredded carrots, fresh or frozen spinach, frozen peas—and let it cook for another minute or two. Tada! You’ve made soup.
You can change this up, and don’t have to include all three bits—pasta and a few veggies, or just an egg boiled in stock, is great, and totally a meal. I give all three components mainly so there’s a note about timing. There are a million variations on this—add tomato paste or sesame oil, add other veggies, cook the egg to different degrees of doneness, etc. You can add a little cheese at the end, or a handful of (rinsed) tinned beans, or shreds of previously cooked meat. But at its most basic, broth + something else = soup, which is a meal that you can totally manage to make for yourself in under ten minutes, and then you can smugly tell the internet that you’re sure that what they’re having is nice and all, but you’re having homemade soup. And let’s be honest—most nights, this soup is not good enough to justify that, but who cares. Sometimes you gotta take what you can get.
things you can put on top of cottage cheese or yogurt to make them feel more like an interesting meal
this is just a list of ideas. the things in parentheses are optional extras, though you can use—or not use—whatever you'd like.
Peach or pineapple chunks
Jam
Pumpkin or apple butter
Berries
Cantaloupe/rockmelon
Granola or muesli
Apples, cinnamon, and honey
Literally just honey
Cinnamon sugar
Sunflower seeds + raisins + shredded cheese
Chili powder + black beans + avocado
Chopped tomatoes + garlic (+ spinach) (+ steak seasoning)
Cut-up spinach and chopped green onions (+ tomatoes)
Sundried tomatoes and olives
Chopped cucumber and olives (+ za’atar)
Salsa or hot sauce
Chopped radish, ready cooked beets, or cucumber + dill (+ garlic)
Mix in a bunch of Milo, Nesquick, or other sweetened chocolate powder. (You might want to add a splash of milk.)
Mangos + cardamom (+ honey or other sweetener) (+ pistachios)
Balsamic vinegar (+ strawberries if you wanna get fancy)
Basically any fresh herbs you have + salt
A spoonful of nut butter (+ chocolate)
Dried meat (like pork or mushroom floss, or that weird shredded jerky) + green onion
if you think all this sounds terrible, that's cool—this is not the cookbook for you.
if you're like, 'oh shit, i could make that soup in less than fifteen minutes,' maybe pick up a copy.

Healthy foods to gain weight vegan
Gaining weight on a vegan diet requires a strategic approach to ensure you're consuming enough calories and nutrients. Here's a unique list of healthy, calorie-dense foods for weight gain on a vegan diet:
Tumblr media
Nuts and Nut Butters:
Almonds, cashews, peanuts, and their respective nut butters are calorie-dense and rich in healthy fats, protein, and micronutrients.
Avocado:
Avocados are not only nutritious but also high in healthy fats and calories, making them a great addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a standalone snack.
Dried Fruits:
Raisins, dates, apricots, and figs are concentrated sources of calories and natural sugars, providing energy for weight gain.
Quinoa:
A versatile and nutrient-dense grain, quinoa is rich in protein and complex carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for bulking up meals.
Coconut and Coconut Oil:
Coconut and its oil are calorie-dense sources of healthy fats. Adding coconut milk to dishes or using coconut oil in cooking can increase calorie intake.
Hummus:
Made from chickpeas, hummus is a calorie-dense spread that can be used as a dip or added to sandwiches and wraps.
Olive Oil:
Drizzling olive oil over salads or using it in cooking can add healthy fats and extra calories to your meals.
Legumes and Pulses:
Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are excellent sources of plant-based protein and complex carbohydrates, supporting muscle growth and providing energy.
Plant-Based Milk:
Opt for fortified, unsweetened plant-based milks like almond, soy, or oat milk to add extra calories and nutrients to your diet.
Whole-Grain Bread and Pasta:
Choose whole-grain options to increase the calorie and nutrient content of your meals.
Dried Coconut:
Snack on dried coconut flakes or add them to dishes for a calorie boost.
Seeds:
Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, and calories. Sprinkle them on salads, yogurt, or smoothie bowls.
Dark Chocolate:
Dark chocolate in moderation can be a tasty and calorie-dense treat, providing healthy fats and antioxidants.
Tahini:
Made from sesame seeds, tahini is a calorie-dense spread that can be used in dressings, dips, or as a topping.
Plant-Based Protein Powders:
Consider adding vegan protein powders to smoothies or recipes to increase your protein and calorie intake.
It's essential to focus on nutrient-dense foods even when aiming to gain weight. Additionally, consider working with a registered dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan that meets your specific calorie and nutrient needs.

Do you/romance novelist Lan Zhan have any recipe recommendations for hotel cooking?
Oh my god, do I ever, I'm so glad you asked!
Tumblr media
Hello from Hawaii and my Tiny Travel Kitchen breakfast! 💖
Okay, so the things you need to work out first are where you're traveling to and how long you'll be there, because that will inform your menu planning. I'm currently in Hawaii (!!!) and there's an abundance of good food near me, so I'm really just focusing on breakfast and snacks. When we've gone to Arizona it's for medical reasons so we have to stay in a hotel that is not particularly well located/my wife usually can't go out to eat, so I plan for all three meals.
I'm going to assume the presence of a travel chef's knife, a cutting board, an assortment of seasonings, an electric skillet, an electric kettle, and a mini fridge, so here's a shopping list and some suggestions with that in mind:
Bread
Butter
The tiniest bottle of olive oil you can find
Half dozen eggs
Avocados
Sliced cheese
Easily sliceable fruit
A package of precut sweet potatoes or butternut squash
Microwavable rice packets (precooked)
A bag of arugula or other leafy green
A can of chickpeas
Lemons
A head of garlic
A couple of shallots
Can of black beans
As far as recipes go:
Lean into your Fancy Toast Era! Butter both sides of a piece of bread and fry it up in the skillet. Top with fried egg, avocado, cheese, anything you want! Serve with sliced fruit.
Grilled cheese sandwiches. Serve with a salad made of the leafy greens, sliced apples, and diced avocado, dressed with lemon and olive oil.
Chickpea squash bowl: dice garlic & shallot, soften in some olive oil in the skillet. Add the precut squash and the chickpeas; saute until squash is al dente. Add precooked rice and more olive oil. Cook until heated through,l. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and incredibly carefully minced lemon zest (if you're an overachiever). Serve over leafy greens.
Burrito bowl: garlic and shallots in the skillet. Add black beans and rice. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. Serve with avocado and cheese on top.
That's what I have for the moment, but all of these options are incredibly customizable. Just look for as many precut/shelf stable options as you can and godspeed!

You can add stuff to your vegetables btw
When you cook your carrots, you can add any combination of butter, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, and then seasonings like sage, garlic, onion, and obviously salt
When you bake a potato (which you can easily do in a microwave by pricking it and cooking it for like ~6-7 minutes), you can add sour cream or butter or cheese or chives or whatever
Sweet potatoes are versatile and can be made savory or sweet. My personal favorites are sweet potato fries (with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, white or black pepper), or a dish with roasted sweet potatoes and onions (ask @dromaeocore for his recipe)
Mushrooms can be sauteed. I like to add garlicky mushrooms to my miso ramen (which I like to make vegetarian). We also like to do a balsamic vinaigrette sauce in our sauteed mushrooms for sandwiches, topped with either extra sharp cheddar or goat cheese on sourdough. Dromaeocore also makes INCREDIBLE vegetarian mushroom fajitas with queso fresco and a side of elote.
Chickpea salads are also great. I haven't found a good recipe yet because a lot of them are by white moms who don't know what seasonings are, so I've kind of had to play around a bit. But you do want to use crisp veggies and a combination of olive oil and some kind of acidic ingredient like vinegar and lemon juice
Speaking of chickpeas, buddha bowls are SO good (though I don't typically follow a standard recipe for one I just kind of build my own based on roasted chickpeas and sweet potatoes, avocado, cashews, sunflower seeds, rice, etc). Tahini dressing is great to drizzle over the veggies, and I love to add pickled red onions (which you can do easily in thirty minutes!!)
Olive oil is your best friend. Seasonings are your best friend. Do whatever gets you eating vegetables

how do you make your salad dressing
i just usually do simple vinaigrettes but i have a method where i just kind of wing it based off of what i have and like a formula sort of 🙂 so i just do something sour (vinegar/citrus i like a lighter vinegar like acv or champagne vinegar because they have some sweetness and less bite in my opinion ) + oil + aromatics salt and optionally something sweet if you are in the mood…and then you just kindof throw stuff you think would taste good together in a salad dressing and it almost always tastes so good and turns out good every time. it is my foolproof jovoy salad dressing equation that is really obvious and not original at all.. for example i just made one it was like a tablespoon fig jam + like 1/8 c acv and avocado oil + salt and it was so simple but so yummy i had it with some spring mix that was about to go off.. and i also make a tarragon + lemon dressing thats very delicious and a ginger miso one too and a really nice parmesan red wine vinaigrette. i love making salad dressing its my calling in life i think
