vix @cofene​’s daily planner printables 

brand new baby studyblr here! after finally deciding to start up this blog i suddenly got really excited and made daily planners… it is full of all of the things i personally find useful but i’ve attached download links in case you like it! i was especially inspired (both to create this blog and to design these printables) by @cmpsbls, @studeying, and @gryfhindor. thank you!!

Monday: New week, new motivation, a pile of finished homework and a nicely organised pencil case. A clean, fresh bullet journal spread and empty to-do lists. Your outfit is ready for you when you wake up, prepared the night before. 

Tuesday: Getting into the rhythm, your favourite tunes and morning runs. Your journal starts to fill up, cute drawings decorating the pages. The world seems slow, the week long as it has just started; yet it is chaotic at the same time.

Wednesday: Hump day. Early morning coffee and messy lecture notes, sticky notes with reminders and to-do lists, scribbling on white boards and collapsing in bed with blankets and a good book after a long day, the distant sound of rain hitting your windows.

Thursday: Grabbing brunch with friends and laughing at old memories, green smoothies and almond croissants. Friendly curious talks with your teachers and professors. Working on an assignment due weeks away and watching a movie by the fireplace.

Friday: Looking forward to the weekend, early morning study and typed notes. Going through colourful flashcards at a local cafe, friendly smiles and latte art. Going out at night and loud music blasting through your ears, walking home with friends under the cool air and peaceful stars.

Saturday: Green tea and cold water, warm showers and sleeping in. Readings and PowerPoints, looking out into the busy streets from your beautiful desk. Getting dressed up, sharp eyeliner wings and meeting with friends, engaging conversations during dinner and later crawling into the warmth and comfort of your bed.

I’m not an expert so I could be wrong on some of these but these are just some skincare tips I’ve gathered from reading a ton of articles and books. These are strictly just skincare routine tips but of course, diet and exercise are also very important when it comes to having a good skin.

10 step korean skincare: makeup remover + oil-based cleanser → water-based cleanser → exfoliator → toner → essence → serum → sheet masks → eye cream → moisturizer → sunscreen (not all are done every day)

apply skincare products while skin is damp for better absorption

dab or pat products instead of rub to prevent wrinkles and to prevent rubbing them off your face and onto your hands

massage face while cleansing to promote blood circulation by putting your hands in a fist and using the knuckles of your index and middle fingers to massage from underneath the cheekbones, up the sides of the nose, to the top of the forehead, and along the sides of the face for a minute or two

apply eye cream around the orbital bone and not directly below the eyelashes to prevent irritation and tap it on with your ring finger for less pressure

put on eye cream on other parts of the face where you also get wrinkles like around the mouth

layer toner on 3-7 times and wait for a minute before each layer to hydrate the skin

apply excess essence in sheet mask pouches to your neck, shoulders, and hands

don’t keep sheet masks on all night as they can soak moisture away from the skin if left longer than what the directions say

acne treatments are typically applied before moisturizer but consult with your dermatologist about it

if your acne treatment contains benzoyl peroxide wait for a minute before applying moisturizer for it to work better

apply sunscreen!!! and reapply every couple hours if you’re gonna be outside all day
