Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

Today I read from my book, worked a shift at work, and prepared for my classes for this semester. I didn't get much exercise, but I ate pretty healthy.

Life Update | Health & Wellness Journey🌿 🍏🥗 | 01/16/2024
I've been very busy lately. I haven't posted much but I've been working at my jobs and preparing for this upcoming semester. Lots of personal things going on too and we've had some really bad weather where I live. I have been slipping a bit on my workouts and such, but I've been walking with my dogs a lot.
Today I am finishing up a few essays and some paperwork for my Washington, D.C. internship, I attended a zoom meeting on the internship, and I'm going to start working on my online class.
Word of the day: To castigate.

10 tips for casual elegance ⋆。𖦹 °✩
Reading. Reading. Reading. Being well-read is so valuable!! Get cosy, pick up a Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, or maybe a Charles Dickens and spend some of your free time indulging in literature. <3
Soft-spoken and kind expressions. No one likes being around rude people. Being a bitch doesn’t make you look confident. Instead, be kind, make conversation, pay attention, engage, etc… trust me.
Dainty jewellery. Find some high-quality signature pieces.
Think before you speak. Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts so you can speak confidently and with intent without stumbling over your words!! <3
Quality over quantity. Stop buying large amounts of cheap clothing; instead, save up and invest in higher-quality pieces that will actually last you. :)
Practice your handwriting. Having pretty and neat handwriting is a lovely little detail; extra points if you write in cursive. ;)
Drop the tiktok slag. “sticking out your gyat for the rizzler”… just stop, please.
Keep to yourself. Small circle, no bragging, gossips only with the closest, keep your plans to yourself.
Watch your posture. Straighten that back, honey. I see you. :))
Manicured nails. I do mine every two weeks. Almond-shaped, always dark red. <3
As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡ ₊ ⊹
✩‧₊*:・love ya ・:*₊‧✩

Health and Wellness ☀️🌻| 01/08/2024
I started the day with a small cream cheese, avocado, and turkey bagel and a banana. For lunch I had a bowl of lima beans, a beef patty, a little avocado and mozzarella (it looks awful, but it was actually really good). For dinner I'm having a bowl on lentil soup and another cup of tea and some fruit.
For my work out I used these videos and went on a 30-minute walk.
20 MIN PILATES CARDIO & ABS || Low Impact Workout (Stretch Included) (youtube.com)
8 Min Morning Stretch - FEEL GOOD MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY! (youtube.com)
For productivity I am working a shift at my part-time job and reading a few chapters from my book.

Health and Wellness ☕🍊\ 01/07/2024
I started the day off with a nice hot chai tea latte with coconut cold foam and 2 chocolate rice cakes with peanut butter and banana slices. For lunch I had a bowl of homemade chicken alfredo (made by my lovely bf). Since I had a heavy lunch, I'm eating a light dinner made of a cup of chamomile tea (my last bag😭) and a turkey and avocado bagel and maybe some fruit later. I'm not really focused on calories at this point in my health journey. It's more about balance for me at this point. If I eat a big bowl of pasta for lunch, I have to eat something healthy for dinner. If I snack on a cookie, the next time I want to snack I grab some fruit. I've been doing this consistently for a few weeks and I've noticed that I feel a lot better.
I didn't do Pilates today, but I did start the day this yoga video and I played with my dogs for about an hour by our lake.
Honestly, I wasn't that productive today. However, I did work a small shift at my job and spent most of the day playing with my dogs, running errands, and watching Gilmore Girls, so it wasn't wasted. I think I'm going to end the day with some light reading and make an LSAT study plan.

Health and Wellness 🪻🫐| 01/06/2024
Started my fitness journey today with an at home workout.
For my main work out, I did a short Pilates video.
30 MIN FULL BODY WORKOUT || At-Home Pilates (No Equipment) - YouTube
For my warmup and cool down I did some at home yoga.
10 MIN STANDING YOGA STRETCH | Yoga Without Mat | Yoga with Uliana (youtube.com)
10 Minute Yoga For Beginners ( EASY Morning Stretches ) (youtube.com)
For breakfast I had a yogurt with dark chocolate chips in it and a hot cup of chai tea. For a snack I had an orange and diet cranberry juice and a few left-over Christmas cookies. For lunch I am having lentil soup with a rice cake with peanut butter and bananas. And for dinner I am having pasta with a salad. 😊
I also cleaned my house. I will finish a scholarship application today, read a few chapters from my book, and work on my upcoming conference presentation.

Fitness for 2024 🩷
Trying to get back into fitness and I think I'm going to do Pilates. I used to do it regularly a few years ago and it was the only type of workout I did consistently. I'm not looking to reshape my body or anything, just tighten everything up and feel better. I'm going to be trying to do ✨Move With Nicole ✨for about a month and see how I feel.
Right now I'm looking at doing:
Low impact Pilates workouts 3x a week
Walking 5-7k steps 4x a week
Yoga daily
