hi lovelies, mindy from @glowettee here !!

sometimes i feel overwhelmed and stuck, so i specifically created this routine whenever i just need to reset my life quickly. here's how i do it in one short post <3 - mindy

key points:

step 1: declutter one space (10 minutes): clear your desk, purse, or phone notifications. a small, clean space = a fresh mindset.

step 2: move your body (15 minutes): stretch, dance, or go for a walk to shake off mental cobwebs.

step 3: hydrate and snack (10 minutes): grab water and a nourishing snack to refuel.

step 4: brain dump (15 minutes): write down everything on your mind (to-dos, worries, ideas) and organize it into priorities.

step 5: do one productive task (10 minutes): pick a small, achievable task and get it done. finishing something boosts confidence and momentum.

if you’re still skipping SPF because it’s cloudy or thinking sweating counts as "cleansing" — babe, it’s time for a reality check.

☀️ myth 1: "i don’t need sunscreen if it’s cloudy."

wrong. UV rays don’t care about clouds — 80% of them still reach your skin. if you're not wearing SPF daily (yes, daily), you're handing out free damage to your future self.

☀️ myth 2: "sunscreen makes me break out."

old school greasy formulas? maybe. but it’s 2025 — find a lightweight, non-comedogenic one. gel SPFs and Korean sunscreens are game-changers if you want protection without pore-clogging.

☀️ myth 3: "i only need SPF when i’m outside."

nope. UV rays pass through windows. if you sit by a window at school, at work, or in your car — you’re exposed. sunscreen isn’t optional; it’s part of showing up for your skin.

☀️ myth 4: "i’m already tan, so i don’t need SPF."

SPF isn’t about blocking your tan — it’s about blocking damage. sunburn is just surface-level — UVA rays go deep, causing long-term issues like premature aging and skin cancer, no matter your skin tone.

☀️ myth 5: "if my foundation has SPF, i’m good."

your makeup’s SPF is not enough. you'd need to cake on seven layers of foundation to get the level of protection you think you're getting. sunscreen first, always.

So the first day went bad. Perhaps I didn't choose the right day to start but hey if I don't do it now, I will never start. There is never a perfect time to start anything.

I had lessons, and meetings with friends and then errands to run from picking up newspaper to running to the post office in time (twice because the first time it was closed for lunch time, even though the schedule online said they closed later). I did the mental tasks early in the morning cause I was aware of the running and finally as I'm writing this I have finished the physical part, both the walk and the workout bit.

I did 15 min workout for the first day, drank 1.5L and I know it's not the 2L i said i should do but taking into account i barely drink a full bottle daily this was amazing to me. I read 10 pages from "As long as lemon trees grow".
