HolyShitImStudying

face:

wash your face at least once a day, with a cleanser and a moisturizer that works for your skin (you can add a toner and serum to the routine too)

keep a lip balm on you at all times

please try to remember to brush your teeth. i know, you’re very sleepy and your bed is very comfortable, but still

try out some face masks every once in awhile!

hair:

find a shampoo and conditioner that really works for you and makes your hair smell nice

try to skip using the heat tools and embrace the natural look, your hair will thank you for it

deep conditioner? hair masks? argan oil? go for it

for those of you with long hair: keep a hair tie on you at all times

hands:

keep a small hand cream in your purse to keep your hands from getting dry after washing them

maybe keep a cuticle cream in your purse too? (it really helps me stop picking at my cuticles because this motion is actually a good kind of fidgeting instead of harmful, and it keeps them from drying out in the process)

paint your nails a light beige/pink neutral color. it’s subtle but looks so elegant and goes with everything

body:

moisturize!!!!! after every shower!!!! whether it be lotion or coconut oil or what, it’s important!! dry skin is uncomfortable and does not make you feel better

find a perfume you like and spray it on whenever you need a lil pick-me-up. smelling nice = feeling nice

take a multivitamin every! day!

and take your medications! don’t forget!

1. write down how much you study over time, then write down how you did on the quiz/test. this will help you see the amount of studying is nessecary for you to get a good grade and fully learn the material!!!

2. make your study space smell fresh, preferably of mint. mint helps you focus and stay sharp. other good smells would be lemon, etc.

3. after studying for a long amount of time, go exercise for ~30 min. shower, get dressed, etc then review the info you had just been studying! you should come back fresher, and your brain is able to remember the info even better!

4. don’t always study in comfy/pj clothes. if you study a lot after school or classes, then it’s ok. but if all you plan on doing is studying for that day, for part of the day get dressed up! put on some business casual wear, that’s cute yet functional and do your hair, etc. this will put you in a “get shit done” mode.

5. after studying a unit/chapter, record yourself explaining it, as if to a person whose never heard of it. this helps SO MUCH. one, explaining/teaching helps you learn so much better, and two, you have a little video to review just before the test!!
