how to save a half wasted day (college edition)

there’s nothing I hate more than rotting in bed all day. granted it’s great in the moment, but it makes me feel so unproductive and lazy. it’s also super hard to get out of bed once i’ve been there all day, HOWEVER living in nyc makes it slightly easier to save the day cause there’s tons of thing to do! now if you don’t live in nyc don’t fear! these ideas are for everyplace ;)

1. MAKE YOUR BED

2.some self care (facial, shower, makeup, literally anything)

3. Make a holiday wish list!

4. Get outside! take a walk or run if you’re feeling frisky :)

5. Go get a tattoo (idk this just sounds fun and i’ve been wanting another)

6. finish your homework and get a head start on upcoming assignments

... Read moreAre you feeling unproductive and stuck in bed all day? You’re not alone! Many college students face this issue, especially during busy semesters. To break this cycle, start by making your bed; it sets a tone of productivity. Next, indulge in self-care rituals. This could be anything from a refreshing shower, skincare, or even dressing up. Creating a holiday wish list can also spark creativity and excitement, lifting your spirits. Taking a walk not only provides exercise but allows you to enjoy nature and clear your mind. For those feeling adventurous, getting a tattoo could also be a great way to express yourself. Lastly, tackling homework can not only aid in your studies but also give you a sense of accomplishment. By integrating these activities into your day, you can transform wasted time into a fulfilling experience!

There have been SOO many days in the past that I’ve just considered “over” at 3pm. Maybe it’s because I was hungover and didn’t get out of bed until 12pm. Or because I just woke up and started doomscrolling for too long… I always just think I wasted the day so I’m going to continue to feel bad/guil

This is what happens when you shop at Dollar Tree over time 😂🧴✨ Not a one-time haul… this is a COLLECTION 😩 Every visit I grab “just one thing” and now I’ve got cleansers, serums, moisturizers, oils… a whole skincare lineup. Dermasil really said “build your routine one $1.25 trip at a time”

I wasted so much money on “natural” body care
Ever felt tricked by “natural” labels only to find a list of synthetic ingredients? I’ve been there too. That’s why I created my own body butter with shea butter, mango butter, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E oil. No gimmicks, just real ingredients for real benefits.
