Three Simple Rules In Life. 

Spent three hours at this flea market and bought exactly zero things.

Looking from a window above, it’s like a story of love, can you hear me?

I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal. Carry it with you everywhere you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favorite moments, your least favorite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people you’ve met, strangers you’ve walked past on the street, favorite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs you’ve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go or places you’ve been, write about your passions, how you feel in this exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble all over the pages. And when that one gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when you’re crying on your bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in your life. They are so important.

more fab skies here ❤️

you can be gentle and confident.

you can be soft and sharp.

you can study on some evenings and party on others.

you can be badass and a princess.

you can be everything at once. 

When you are balancing classes, homework, extracurriculars, and a full/part time job, it can be hard to find the necessary time to look after yourself. The important thing is to make good use of the small chances you get during the day! I’ve broken it up into time chunks, to make it easier.

Two Minutes

Brush your teeth/hair etc

Wash your face, or splash cold water on it

Drink a glass of water

Stretch! (especially if you've been sitting down for awhile)

Five Minutes

Take the stairs!

Jumping jacks/squats (I do them all the time behind the counter at work!)

Take a break and eat a piece of fruit

Ten Minutes

Walk instead of bussing

Reapply sunscreen if needed

Take a power nap if you need one

Do a short meditation

Twenty Minutes

Find a short yoga routine on youtube

Go for a quick run

Take a longer nap

Write in a journal/ Notebook if that's your thing

Thirty Minutes

Workout

Do a full yoga routine

Run/walk around your block a few times

Take the time to prepare a special, healthy snack for yourself!

One Hour or More

Workout weights or cardio

Tidy your room/ office space

Catch up on other duties (to relieve stress)

Prepare a meal and make enough for a lunch the next day

As its summer in half of the world, I’d like to remind my friends in the northern hemisphere that health in the heat means drinking cold liquids to stay hydrated, wearing sunscreen to prevent burns and skin damage, and spending time in the shade throughout the day! 

Take Care of Yourselves!
