How I’m Feeling About Post-Grad

Happy Thursday everyone! 😊

Nighttime Beauty Routine – UPDATED

I love reading routine posts and learning about all the products people have been obsessed with! I recently had a night to unwind from the day, so I was excited to share this updated nighttime routine with you 🌻

College Morning Routine!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today I’m sharing my morning routine. I enjoy taking some time out of my morning to take care of my skin, do my makeup, and fuel my body with a great breakfast!

B.L.O.O.M : November/December 2017

Happy Thursday everyone! It’s been a few months since I posted a “B.L.O.O.M” so I combined my November and December favorites!

Post-Grad New Years Resolution

Life is full of difficult choices. For most of my 22 years, I’ve been following what the majority of people around me have done. Recently, I’ve been finding it hard to separate myself from not doing what everyone else is doing. People have their own post-graduation goals, which is one of the greatest accomplishments you can have as a graduating senior. That hasn’t been my mindset this year. I’ve been comparing myself to other people and their goals, when clearly our life paths aren’t the same. For some reason, I can’t help but admire them while also put myself down because of my unclear aspirations.

Fall Back But Don’t Fall Behind!

As you all know, we recently turned our clocks back one hour. In the past, I would fully embrace the extra hour of sleep and start my day later. I’ve read many articles that claim Daylight Savings Time (DST), either gaining or losing an hour, can reduce your wellness, which will impact your day-to-day activities. I decided that I wasn’t going to let this fall back affect me. This year, I decided to adjust my sleeping schedule and use this early morning energy to my advantage.

Waking up to the sunlight in my face is my main motivator. My bed is next to my window and I leave my blinds open slightly to let the rays pour in at 6:30am. I set my alarm for 6:45 am, snooze it once or twice, and then I’m ready to get up out of bed by 7:15 am. My roommate and I have been motivating one another to stick to this routine so we can get a head start on our day. Waking up early also means that I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier too, which has been a bit more difficult with homework and other life obstacles, but I’m trying!

So far it has felt really good taking advantage of the early sunrises and the early sunsets. It’s even more helpful when I can start getting work done earlier so I can then focus on my exam week coming up. It’s has been a rewarding trade-off.

How have you been feeling with DST?

Thanks for reading!

Stay rad,
