DIY beauty⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍯

this is a big post of some of my favorite beauty recipes and things that i can do at home for myself and my beauty routines and regimens…💬🎀

AT HOME FACIALS ;

♡ step one - cleanse with ur water based cleanser

♡ step two - steam ur face using a bowl and towel

♡ step three - use a facial scrub that isnt too abrasive

♡ step four - use a cleansing mask

♡ step five - use ur toner

♡ step six - make sure to moisturize always

doing this routine helps my skin to feel rejuvenated and healthy. steaming ur face opens up ur pores and helps to free sebum which in turn stops pimples from forming…💬🎀

BATH MILK ;

♡ 2 cups of milk

♡ 1 tbsp of vanilla

♡ 2 tbsp of cinnamon

bath milk is rly good if u have dry skin because its a way to hydrate and moisturize your skin. milk contains fats and proteins that can help to replenish your skin's natural moisture…💬🎀

♡ 1/2 cup of honey

♡ 5 tbs olive/almond oil

♡ 3 cups of milk

SUGAR LIP SCRUB ;

♡ mix in some vaseline and sugar (if u wanna be extra u can add some cayenne for a plumping effect OR olive oil for extra hydration)

doing a lip scrub every now and then helps to remove dead skin from ur lips and keep them soft and super adorable. i also recommend brushing ur lips every now and then and making sure to use a moisturizing lip balm…💬🎀

RICE FACE MASK ;

♡ add one cup of rice and rinse the rice 2-3 times

♡ use 1/4 cup of rice and 1 cup of water and put it into ur rice cooker/boil over ur stovetop

♡ once the rice is soft, pour it into ur blender till it becomes smooth

♡ make sure to let it cool down before you use it

the mask will last up to a week if stored in the fridge. rice is known to brighten the skin, shrink pores, and prevent premature aging with its antioxidants. it also helps protect the skin barrier and calms irritated skin…💬🎀

#𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 - Week 3

Although I am (extremely) new to the self improvement community on tumblr. I have seen the #𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 challenge from @dreamdolldiary come by a few times among self improvement creators. Because of my curiosity, I have finally read the challenge and I immediately knew that this was the ideal challenge for me to start my self improvement journey! The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accountable and to build healthy habits.

☙ The main focus of next week will be on my studies and personal things. Since i'm on my schoolbreak i have all the time to be working on them.

♡ Studies I plan out all the work i am supposed to do. I do schoolwork daily. I keep up with all the tests & assignments. I am productive in school.

♡ Personal I compliment the people around me. I spend more time on crochet, knitting & sewing. I start dancing again.

Other plans: ☙ I start following my morning & night routines. ☙ I read when I'm bored. ☙ I follow my weekly work out-plan. ☙ I plan out my winter wardrobe (+budget).

𝕽𝖊𝖋𝖑𝖊𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖓 𝖒𝖞 𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖑𝖘 𝖋𝖗𝖔𝖒 𝖑𝖆𝖘𝖙 𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖐:

☙ I tend to forget my goals very easily throughout my week. To prevent that from happening again, I will write my goals down on paper and put them next to my toothbrush. So that I read them while brushing my teeth.

☙ I did everything I wrote down by other plans, except planning out my wardrobe. So I will have to do that again.

☙ I did study a lot the past week, the only problem was. That my study sessions were not very productive, because I kept getting distracted. To prevent this from happening again, I will meditate when i get too distracted and I will try to create a better study space.

☙ I haven' t started with crochet, knitting & sewing again. But I did make a few designs. So now I do have the motivation to do it!

𝕸𝖞 𝖕𝖑𝖆𝖓 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖓𝖊𝖝𝖙 𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖐:

☙ This week I will focus on my physical, mental, emotional and habit goals. Most of these goals I have already payed some attention too. But I'm having a very stressful week and i could really use some extra motivations to follow these basics:

♡ Physical I follow my weekly work out-plan. I eat healthy. I use my skincare consistantly. I go to bed before 10 pm.

♡ Mental I make time for self love. I plan out my day and follow my plan. I journal daily.

♡ Emotional I do the things that bring me happiness and fulfillment. I write the things that bother me down. I allow myself to feel my emotiong fully.

♡ Habits I start following my morning & night routines. I practice gratefulness. I read more often.

Thank you sososo much for checking in with me, lovelies! ⚝☁ I hopefully see you next week! If you have any tips and/ or encouragement, please do share. Bye bye ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡

My goal for this week: fixing my procrastination.

Even though I know it's not fixable in a week I think, I am able to grow healthy routines and habits in a week that will be the support I need to stop!

Thank you sososos much for the tip lovely 💗💗🎀

How do I stop procrastinating getting my life together. I'm not sure if you understand what I mean....as in how do I stop procrastinating getting out of my comfor zone to do better

GUIDE TO DEALING WITH PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination is delaying a task because of fear or anxiety about doing it. If you frequently procrastinate, it may result from your current mindset. In this post, I will discuss the reasons behind procrastination and how to overcome it by getting started.

AVOIDANCE MINDSET

If you’ve been in their comfort zone for quite a long time, you may be familiar with this term. An avoidance mindset is when we focus more on preventing possible negative consequences, rather than pursuing positive outcomes. This leads to procrastination, avoiding risks or challenges and generally staying in their comfort zones to avoid discomfort and failure.

This mindset usually stems from a fear that is holding you back which is keeping you ‘safe’, which is why we feel discomfort when trying new things. Fear of failure, wasting time, rejection and change are a few common ones.

Doing self-reflection or quizzes are the most efficient way to identify your fears if you haven’t already. Challenge negative beliefs that cause that fear to grow. 

The recommended way to shift your mindset from an avoidance one to a growth mindset is by focusing on the benefits that you’ll get from it. E.g.

‘Exercising is too hard’ -> ‘I’ll feel good about myself after’

‘Studying is boring’ -> ‘I’ll be proud of myself after achieving high grades’

‘Meeting new people is scary’ -> ‘I can’t wait to have a new friend’

PRODUCTIVITY WITH PROCRASTINATION

BREAK TASKS INTO SMALLER CHUNKS, and if it seems too difficult, do it over a week/fortnight. When tasks are smaller, they seem simpler and easier, so we don’t feel the need to delay them. For example...

Deep clean my room -> Wipe down all surfaces & put new bedding OR Monday I’ll wipe down surfaces, then Wednesday I’ll put new bedding. 

 MAKE THE TASK SPECIFIC. If the task is vague, it can seem too daunting to start because we have no idea how to start. For example, instead of saying studying for my science test, say do 3 rounds of science flashcards. We know exactly what to do, so it doesn’t give reason for us to delay it.

HAVE A ROUTINE. Having a consistent daily routine helps us to stay on track because our brains love routines and familiar activities, and it pushes us further because our brains will feel discomfort if that routine is not done. 

However, if you are someone who procrastinates, avoid micromanaging your day. It can seem way too overwhelming, but even if you do it, it can lead to being burnt out. 

KEEP ORGANISED. Being in an environment which is constantly cluttered, or having no way to remember everything that goes in your life, will make you have a cluttered mind, A cluttered mind will influence your actions to also be out of place.

DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET. I do have a post on this which is linked on my masterlist. The whole idea of a growth mindset is to embrace the idea that failure further improves us, instead of setting us back.

Love these thing. They are son simple but sometimes so easy to forget!! <3

NOT GETTING BUMMED OUT FROM UPSETTING THINGS

It's very easy to enter a depressive state nowadays, especially with all of the things that are going on right now. We can still do things to acknowledge what is going on without having a dark mindset.

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS

this is the first and arguably most crucial step. It's important to allow yourself to feel what you're feeling. Do not attempt to suppress your emotions or berate yourself for feeling a certain way. Instead, acknowledge these feelings as a natural reaction to something upsetting.

PRACTICE MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is the ability to stay fully engaged in the present moment. This practice can help you avoid dwelling excessively on things that upset you. Try to focus on your breath, the sensation of the air around you, or the sounds you hear. This can provide a much needed break from the cycle of negative thoughts.

DON'T OVER CONSUME

Over consuming negative media can be another way we can put pressure on our mind. The more negative media we consume the more negative thoughts we have. Blocking certain tags on social sites can be a great way to eliminate negative media in your life. Recognizing these things going on in the world is great, but throwing yourself into all of it isn't.

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE

When something upsetting occurs, it's easy to get lost in a sea of negativity. However, try to shift your focus to something positive in your life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. This could be anything from a recent accomplishment to the love and support of your friends and family. Remembering what you're grateful for can help improve your mood.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH

Physical health has a profound impact on mental well-being. Regular exercise can help boost your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. It doesn't have to be anything intense, a simple walk or a few stretches can make a world of difference. In addition to exercise, make sure you're getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet. These steps will ensure your body is well-equipped to handle emotional distress.

Hello beautiful people, I am so happy to announce that I'm going to bring out new content! I've been working on some lovely guides: keeping a commonplace journal, guide to a happy lifestyle, having a healthy microbiome, guide to a healthy diet and guide to working out and gaining muscle!

I've also began reading in 'Sensitive: The Power of a Thoughtful Mind in an Overwhelming World' from Jenn Granneman and Andre Solo. When I've finished reading I will definitely write something about this subject!

Last but not least, I've started a YouTube channel! I still haven't posted anything but I'm planning my first video and I'm very excited. if you want to, you can subscribe here. Don' t expect anything with really good quality because my camera quality is very low and that's what I'm filming on. 😭

Love Pearl 🐚

i am my own person and will be okay no matter what bc i trust myself

This was exactly what i needed today! ✨

I often forget all the progress I made when I feel down and that makes it so hard to get up again.
