Sources for Aesthetic™ Images for your headers/icons/moodboards/Notion/pages/etc that aren't Pinterest
Because eeegh it's a pet peeve of mine whenever I see idk, content and stuff that just uses "credits to pinterest" or "credits to the original creators" without linking back to the actual source, so here are some places you can find images to use that you can find who to credit easily.
Note: some of these resources have specific terms, and not all of them can be used for moodboards/headers/notion/websites/icons/etc. Pls read them on their respective websites first and credit when necessary!!
- Ghibli's released screencaps of their movies, for free!
- Unsplash has a lot of good photos - just type in the keyword and you can also filter by orientation and color! There are also a bunch of user collections you can look through if you have a specific theme in mind
- Some keywords you can use if you're lost on what specific things to look up: [rainy/foggy/sunny/etc] window view, messy desk, vintage, urban, vending machine, hands, grunge aesthetic, crystal/gemstone, skull, foggy/hazy, flower/pressed flower, knife, jewelry, neon, minimal, crown, fountain pen, pearls, pantone
- Pexels is kinda similar to unsplash
- Art images from museums and libraries
- Creative commons
- the #transparent png, #transparent tags here on tumblr - please be mindful though that some, if not most of these images don't have clear rules or boundaries for their use, so as a little tip use the ones crediting and adding the source, credit them yourself, and use for your personal use only - dont make stuff with them that you plan on selling!
- Some blogs I've found in the tags above that do credit the image source of their pngs: @/strawberry4milk, @/neptunepngs, @/honeyrolls, @/mirai-e-jump, @/png-heaven, @/soapmermaid
- Pixabay illustrations
- thegraphicsfairy for vintage and antique looking graphics, art, and images
- Free design resources (the site also has more than just graphics!)
- Pixel Surplus too!
- Country Daze Graphics - old webcore style graphics, for personal, non-commercial, credit-required use on webpages. You can read more about their terms of use on the site!
- Another old webcore style graphics | 1 | 2 | 3
- Old web buttons gifs (caution: full of flashing and eyestrain-y gifs)
- Gifcities has those too (also content warning for flashing, sometimes inappropriate looking gifs that would get you ios banned yaknow)
- Foxfable - pixel art, for personal use only and requires credit

6/100 days of productivity
Todays anatomy study session ✨
I‘ve been inactive for a good few months on here. It started out with just not being able to get good pictures, then there was a lack of motivation mid-semester and lately it‘s been a time-issue with exams approaching.
But instead of overthinking it any more, I want to resume the 100dop challenge and blog throughout the last 2-3 weeks before exams.

When your head hits the pillow tonight, remind yourself that you’ve done a good job. You are headed down your path at your own pace, and with every obstacle you are trying your utmost best. Be patient with yourself, and remember that big things are achieved not all at once, but one day at a time.

Read More, Read Better
Many of us are looking for more ways to enjoy our time at home in these stressful circumstances. Some of us have turned to books. But how can we make sure we get the most out of them?
Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~
Good luck with your essays !!!
… oops just realised I forgot to bullet point one of the lists

May the month of August serve as a blissfully smooth transition from one season to the next, allowing you harmony + showing you love!
