Go through your emails, messages, photos, notes, etc.

Clean your room and find a place for everything.

Donate everything you don't need (clothes, old toys, books...)

Clean your makeup and throw away everything that might be expired.

Step 2 -> Structure. ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡

Get used to tidying up throughout your day to avoid creating a big and overwhelming mess.

Get a physical planner or calendar to write down important dates, exams, deadlines, and plans.

Be mindful about what you buy and remember: Quality >>> Quantity.

try meal prepping if you're often busy, this makes grocery shopping and hasty mornings a lot easier.

Step 3 -> Routine ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡

Make it a habit. Staying organised can be tough, but keep yourself accountable and stay on track, and soon, it will come naturally to you.

Work on finding a good balance between work/school, self-care/alone time, and your social life.

Take it slow, day by day, and don't overwhelm yourself with silly 30-point to-do lists... keep it attainable!! <3

take the power away from mean ppl. the next time someone says something rude brush it off. don’t let it affect you. you know it isn’t true, they don’t even know you. their words mean nothing especially if you dismiss them. the only person who has power over your emotions is YOU!

[patriapplepie]

someone understanding you without you having to constantly explain yourself = a love language

dear reader : please know that being brave doesn’t always have to mean confronting someone or addressing a situation, being brave can also mean letting go and moving on 𓂃 ﾟ｡💗 ⋆ ⟡

Your self respect has to be stronger than your feelings.

Best-Kept Makeup Secrets for a Flawless Look

Makeup has the incredible power to enhance our features and boost our confidence. While makeup trends constantly evolve, some timeless secrets can help you achieve a flawless look regardless of the era. In this blog, we'll reveal some of the best-kept makeup secrets that can elevate your makeup game to the next level.

Primer is Your Canvas: Before applying any makeup, start with a quality primer. Primer not only helps makeup last longer but also creates a smooth, even surface for flawless application. Choose a primer that suits your skin type and concerns, whether it's pore-minimizing, hydrating, or color-correcting.

Less is More: When it comes to foundation, less is often more. Use a foundation that matches your skin tone and apply it sparingly. Build coverage gradually, focusing on areas that need it most, and blend well for a natural finish.

Invest in Quality Brushes and Tools: High-quality makeup brushes and tools are essential for achieving professional-looking results. They allow for precise application, blending, and contouring. Invest in a good set of brushes and regularly clean them to keep your makeup looking flawless.

Master the Art of Blending: Blending is the key to seamless makeup. Whether it's eyeshadow, blush, or foundation, take your time to blend thoroughly. Use a light hand and circular motions to avoid harsh lines and achieve a soft, diffused look.

Eyes: The Window to Your Soul: Eye makeup can transform your entire look. To make your eyes pop, use neutral shades for everyday looks and experiment with bolder colors for special occasions. Don't forget to curl your lashes and apply mascara for a wide-eyed effect.

Lip Prep is Essential: For luscious lips, exfoliate and moisturize them regularly. Use a lip liner to define your lips and prevent feathering, then choose lip colors that complement your skin tone and outfit. Consider using a lip primer to make your lipstick last longer.

Set Your Makeup: To make your makeup last all day, set it with a setting spray or translucent powder. This step locks in your look and reduces shine. Carry a compact powder for touch-ups throughout the day.

Experiment and Have Fun: Makeup is an art, and there are no strict rules. Don't be afraid to experiment with different looks and techniques. Play with colors, textures, and styles until you find what makes you feel your best.

Skincare is Makeup Prep: Healthy, well-hydrated skin provides the best canvas for makeup. Prioritize skincare to address any concerns like dryness, acne, or fine lines. A good skincare routine can reduce the need for heavy makeup.

Remove Makeup Properly: At the end of the day, removing makeup is just as important as applying it. Use a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil to dissolve makeup, followed by a cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your skin. Never sleep with makeup on, as it can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

Makeup can be a powerful tool for self-expression and confidence. These makeup secrets, from primer to removal, can help you achieve a flawless look that enhances your natural beauty. Remember, makeup is not about masking flaws but celebrating your unique features. So, embrace the art of makeup and have fun experimenting with different looks!

Practice Mindfulness: Stay present and fully engaged in your classes. Pay attention to the details, ask questions, and actively participate in discussions.

Remember that romanticizing school doesn't mean ignoring challenges or difficulties. It's about cultivating a mindset that appreciates the journey of learning and personal growth. By infusing positivity and imagination into your approach, you can make school a more enchanting and fulfilling experience. <3

☆ what to carry in your makeup bag - skincare edition ☆

A good skincare routine should be simple, consistent, and tailored to their specific skin type and concerns. It's essential to prioritize gentle and hydrating products while avoiding harsh ingredients. Here's a basic daily skincare routine to follow:

Morning:

Cleansing - use a mild, gentle cleanser suited for your skin type. Look for one that removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Cerave's cleansers are a great option designed for different types of skins.

Toning - apply an alcohol-free toner to help balance the skin's pH levels and prepare it for the next steps of your routine. Toners can also provide light hydration and soothe the skin. Lush's toners are my favorite.

Vitamin C Serum - apply a Vitamin C serum to help brighten the skin, fade dark spots, and protect it from environmental damage. Allow the serum to absorb fully before moving to the next step.

Eye Cream - gently dab on an eye cream to address any under-eye puffiness or dark circles. Look for an eye cream with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or peptides. Mine is from L'oreal.

Moisturizing - choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Moisturizing is crucial for keeping the skin hydrated and maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

Sunscreen - apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning, even on cloudy days. This protects the skin from harmful UV rays and helps prevent premature aging and sun damage. Isdin's sunscreen is all over Tiktok because of how great it is.

Everning:

Makeup Removal - before starting your evening routine, make sure to remove all makeup thoroughly using a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil. I love using micellar water from Garnier, but there are so many options out there.

Double Cleansing - follow up with a double cleanse. First, use an oil-based cleanser to remove any remaining sunscreen and makeup. Then, use your regular cleanser to cleanse the skin thoroughly.

Toning - repeat the toning step from your morning routine to prep your skin for the next products.

Serum - if you have specific skin concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, apply a targeted treatment product, such as benzoyl peroxide or retinol. Use these treatments as directed and be cautious not to overuse them. I love to use The Ordinary products, especially the retinol and niacinamide ones.

Eye Cream - apply your eye cream once again to provide extra moisture and nourishment to the delicate skin around the eyes.

Moisturizer - apply a slightly richer or more nourishing moisturizer in the evening to help your skin recover and replenish overnight.

Weekly Treatments

Exfoliation - exfoliate your skin using a mild exfoliant with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother complexion

Masking - use a face mask that addresses your skin's specific needs, such as hydrating, purifying, or calming masks.
