what is a hobby? : a hobby can be anything (literally anything). sports, literature, music, an activity to keep you occupied.

what is doomscrolling? : doomscrolling is mindlessly using media with no intention. It lasts for hours and provides absolutely no dopamine or serotonin (whatever the hormones are that actually fulfill you).

doomscrolling can be prevented by a thing called hobbymaxxing.

now what is that? : hobbymaxxing is exactly as it sounds. maxing out your hobbies. you don’t have to be good at the hobby to do it, you can start new everyday if you please!

I consider myself a pro hobbymaxxer, I try any and everything. The thing that holds most people back is laziness, finances, and fear. don’t be afraid to do things alone or start new things! It took me a while to overcome, but eventually I did and it feels amazing to have nothing holding you back. also, hobbies don’t have to be costly, most hobbies I do cost almost nothing.

as a lowkey lazy girl who also takes pride in looking and feeling her best, here are my codes to maintaining the looks, confidence, and peace while maintains my time and money xx

Keep your hair done: in my eyes, keeping your hair done is one of the easiest ways to cut down on “getting ready time”(especially as morning shift gal with natural hair). Your hair does NOT always have to be intricate or fancy. I love just wearing my curls out or doing simple styles. Find your signature look and style and watch a tutorial on how to achieve it. I can turn a $100 style into a $30 style instantly, just by doing it myself. My curly pony is this week’s hairdo slay.

there are many things that i do on a weekly / monthly basis; or even every now and then to stay feeling feminine, loved, and fulfilled

the physical code

taking care of your physical appearance and health is super important, you must feel good on the outside , but you must be taken care of internally as well！

~exercise:moving my body everyday whether that be weightlifting, pilates, sculpt, or a yoga flow helps me keep my body healthy and maintained. GET UP AND MOVE

~whole foods: imagine finishing a good workout and having some delicious fruit and a meal with veggies, proteins, and all the good things; makes me feel so productive and energized (my Pinterest has a board of easy and healthy meal ideas, gocheckitout :) @thechristinacode )

~get dressed:every day, i put on an outfit that makes me feel beautiful, even if it’s a cute workout set or some matching pjs! putting effort into how you look will make you feel wayyyy better

This week was a bit on the colder side, so I utilized layering, fleece tights, long sleeves, and boots!

Look 1: here I used fleece tights under my skirt, a long sleeve top under my coat, and doubled my socks for both aesthetic and weather purposes

Look 2. I folded my long, knee length cardigan into a short one, wore a long sleeve top under, and grey sweatpants

Look 3. I wore my fur lined coat with jeans, and fur boots with fluffy socks. when wearing baggy pants like this, I wear leggings underneath for added warmth !

Look 4: The cable knit cardigan and jeans combo was my base. I paired it with a nice jewelry stack to add some substance.

Look 5: this look was fun yet simple! A pink matching set and a fur coat was all I wore :)

I’m currently in my second-half of my sophomore year & I have been through the worsttt

Getting an education can be tough & tricky at times, it can leave you feeling disdained, discouraged, and even depressed

here are some things that I do to be my best in the semester

Code 1: use technology to your advantage: most of my work is digital, so in turn I am always working on a computer/ipad

-use google calendar * place all of your assignments/quizzes/tests on your calendar

-try duegooder*it’s a website/app that can organize all of your classes by it’s syllabus (I’m pretty sure it’s not ai)

-use notion* I use notion to plan my entire life! from daily schedules to summer bucket lists, it’s all there

here’s mine!

Code 2:prioritize yourself: your mental and physical health should always be kept up, no matter what

-balance study time and self care time*doing one without the other is a recipe for disaster and depression (I’ve been through it)

-keep up with your hobbies & interests*don’t lose yourself in the semester, keep doing the things that make you feel good!

-stay clean and organized * keeping your space clean will allow you to be able to keep your mind calm and peaceful, your room is a reflection of the mind

-stay out of your bed* get into the habit of only sleeping in your bed, your mind will associate bed with sleep, library with study, etc

Code 3: romanticize everything: live in every aspect of your life

-study in a place with beautiful scenery *changing your view helps you be more productive and creative

-wear a cute outfit to your class * carry yourself in the best way always, even if it’s just to class_I post my outfits on my Pinterest and TikTok!

-treat yourself to a small gift occasionally * give yourself some tender,love , & care when you do something great like pass a final or present in class, you deserve it!

word of advice:

may you have infinite travels, abundance, academics
