A Beginners Guide To Pilates

how to stay organized in school

keep a planner

use a paper planner, notion, notes app, whatever you prefer to write down deadlines, exam dates, etc.

don’t procrastinate

do what you need to do early on. get it done and cross it off your list so that you don’t have to worry about it later and you won’t have a ton of assignments to do last minute.

organize by color

you may do this by separating classes by color and using highlighters/post it notes/colored pens, etc. to separate topics within each class

be realistic with your to-do lists

don’t try to pile on too much in one day. do your best to evenly distribute your tasks throughout the week.

break up large tasks

don’t try to get all of your bigger and time consuming tasks done at one time. distribute them apart from each other. also, you may split your large tasks into smaller tasks to make them seem less intimidating and more doable.

make your own study guides

study guides are helpful and will not always just be given to you, so use the resources you have to build your own for each topic, exam, etc.

celebrity energy ‧₊˚👠✩ ᵎᵎ 

in this post we will be talking about having that celebrity energy- looking gorgeous, glamorous, walking & acting with confidence and having such a magnetic aura that people can't take their eyes off you! if you want to know any of this.. stay tuned! 🎀⋆˙⟡

──★ ˙💅🏼 ̟ 1) confidence & exclusivity

know you're that girl. walk in that unshakeable belief. keep your chin up, and with every step walk with intention, with confidence. would a celebrity walk hunched back, looking at the floor? ew, no. these people know who they are. they know that getting to know and be friends with them is a high form of privilege. you can be friendly, but not easy to be friends with.

also, TAKE UP SPACEEE!! you are not a burden, thats ridiculous. you have been purposely put onto this earth, be grateful about it and also realise that it was for a reason. it was because you are worthy, its because you have a power inside of you. so stop shrinking yourself down, ew! if you see celebrities in talkshows or movies or even when they're literally just walking, they let their body take up space. they move their hands, they've got a straight posture and are not afraid to make eye contact.

──★ ˙👱🏽‍♀️ ̟ 2) personal branding

also something that celebrities do/ have is their own personal, original branding. emphasising the 'original'- they are their own person and they have created a persona, their own branding to be truly unique and stand out.

୭ ˚. ࣪𖤐.ᐟ for example, when i think of ariana grande, the following words come to mind... pink, feminine, soft, kind, a sweetheart or sabrina carpenter... girlypop, unserious haha, fun, confident

💬˚₊۶ৎ˙⋆ also create your own signature stuff that just screams YOU. list of things to consider:

♡ signature scent

♡ colour palette/ scheme for outfits or just in general

♡ accessory

♡ hairstyle

♡ the vibe you want to give off

♡ how do you want people to feel when they're around you?

♡ stuff you say/ do often

so to create your own personal banding, here are a few posts that i recommend: 💬˚₊۶ৎ˙⋆

♡ branding & importance of branding

♡ reinvention

♡ how to know yourself & your personality

♡ how to know your dream girl archetype + personal manifesto

──★ ˙👛 ̟ 3) validate yourself

do NOT seek approval. there is absolutely NO NEED for you to be going around and talking to people hoping they like you. validate yourself. know who you are, what you bring to the table and stop asking others if you're good enough.

"kill the urge to be chosen, choose yourself." - sza

any choices or decisions you make, make them for you. make them because it makes you happy or improves your life. also learn to have your own opinions!! you liking something that another person doesn't like is not wrong, its just 2 people with different preferences and that doesn't mean one is better than the other.

──★ ˙🍰 ̟ 4) authenticity is hot

being you, fully and whole is the most beautiful and self loving thing ever. do not water yourself down for someone who literally treats you bad, if you're too much then they can go find less.

being you is will be so attractive to the right people you want in your life. isn't that amazing?!

i know that sometimes hiding behind a different persona that isn't really you is easier, safer because being someone who everyone likes and being accepted even when you're not yourself is safer than being yourself and getting rejected. thats why you have to stop being scared to anger people. this doesn't mean that you should go around pissing people off, but it means that if being yourself makes another person uncomfortable or annoyed, then allow them to leave or leave that situation yourself. celebrities are not afraid of having haters, in fact when you do have haters is when you know people are jealous of your confidence, originality & magnetism.

୭ ˚. ࣪𖤐.ᐟ one last thing that i have mentioned before and will again, when you are someone who YOU like, being authentic and fully you, then the people who come into your life will love you for YOU.

──★ ˙🦢 ̟ 5) magnetism & charisma

that AURA, that magnetism is what sets you apart, what makes people unable to take their eyes off you. i have linked a post on how to be magnetic in the title which i recommend you read <3

charismatic people have a natural pull that makes others want to be with them. so next time you have a conversation with someone, focus on how you want to make them feel because most of the time, people remember how you made them feel, not what you said.. if you are comfortable with them, they will become comfortable with you. make others feel like they're a star!

and learn to laugh. laugh at yourself, laugh at stuff you find funny, and don't try to hide your real laughter because you think its weird, thats what sets you apart and can make you a more fun, likeable person with others!

──★ ˙📌 ̟ fashion advice clothing/ accessories which give celebrity energy (in my opinion)

♡ sunglasses!! such an iconic piece and i swear literally everyone i see wearing sunglasses looks 100x more cooler to me.

♡ JEWELLERY that makes you feel like that btch & powerful & confidenttt! the golds, the silvers, the chunky, the thin, necklesses, bracelets, rings, earrings, experiment with them all!

♡ a signature bag to carry around which can keep all your necessities.

♡ in a world of people following trends, have some originality and find your own style. something that makes you happy and confident wearing.

♡ mix different styles! something i learnt for an effortlessly chic outfit is to pair something casual (like jeans, shorts, basic top) with something fancy (like sequence skirt, something sparkley). mix and match however you like.

♡ a statement jacket which you can throw on to make any outfit look more fabulous

♡ in the end, you should wear whatever makes you feel giddy and happy when you look in the mirror. whatever makes you feel you can conquer anything that comes your way. maybe even something that your inner child would be in awe at!

Believe it or not but I’ll have to say this, vaunting is one method I guarantee you does WONDERS yeah it’s no different than saying your affirmations but there also is a difference the way vaunting is written just seems and sounds more realistic to me and natural because when I tell you whenever I read my vaunt my results shockingly came way too fast like I need you to do nothing just pick up a vaunt there’s several on the Internet or make your OWN read them at least in the morning and before you go to sleep at night and continue with your day do NOT overthink just forget about it coz that’s what I did. I would say my vaunt and forget about it and my day would go so well like it surprised me and then it came to my realisation. I realised when I said my affirmations I sounded as if I was forced to read them or when you are made to read out loud in the class you seem to not care or give two cents about what’s written and that is exactly what you call reading like a robot but when I started to read my vaunts my body and emotions would become so extra and dramatic like I’m LITERALLY saying something that happened to me I feel it, i live it, I act like it, that’s exactly what we have to do yeah many say that you don’t really have to care or get too much into the acting when affirming but I don’t believe that because that’s not my belief, I rather like to get in my feels and then speak it I like to feel it completely and dwell myself into that feeling and trust me it feels SO GOOD it feels so good that it has become my habit and my assumption is that vaunting works like wonders for me and IT IS WHAT IT IS right now, I recently manifested an iphone 11 which was impossible for the PAST me to achieve, yeah so funny because I’m writing this rn on my iPhone and believe me achieving is NOT IMPOSSIBLE:)

study tips: how to get a 4.00 GPA 🩰

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆

All throughout last year I've gotten perfect grades on my report cards and many of my friends have asked how I've done it and i seriously had no idea until recently when I started to take notice of my new ways of studying... and today ive decided to put all my findings on this post...so here we goo...💋

#1 finish ur homework the second u get it:

I cannot stress this enough HOMEWORK IS IMPORTANT! idc if you’re too lazy or busy studying for exams, homework is almost half of your grade, doing it the second you get it is the best way to eliminate the stress and procrastination you get when trying to tackle an assignment.

#2 be nice to teachers:

ultimately teachers are the ones deciding your fate, so being a teacher's pet isn't always a bad thing. you don't have to absolutely love them, but giving them respect while speaking, trying to connect with and get to know them, and even just thanking them after class would take you a long way. 

#3 pay attention in class:

ive heard this a million times and as a girly with undiagnosed adhd it is so hard for me to focus during class, but one thing I found helpful is sitting in front of the class. this was important because the teacher was literally in my face so I couldn't zone out. a thing that also helped me is 24/7 taking notes or highlighting passages.

#4 start caring: 

in middle school, i literally did not care about school whatsoever(and im sure most of u as well) and that was because i didn't have any severe consequences. my parents may get mad at me and i may feel disappointed in myself, but there was no long-term consequences. so when i started high school.

i had to start caring because high school grades are all that matters to universities. it was also because i knew i had a dream and wanted to achieve it, and the only way to do so was to fake being a good student till i actually became one.

something that also stops you from caring about school, is u caring about other people or what they think of u, whether it be positively or negatively. thinking about others will take up most of your brain capacity very quickly, which would result in u being distracted and not caring about ur schoolwork.

#5 surrond urrself with people who actually want to improve themselves:

this is SO important! surrounding urself with negative people who don't care about education can greatly affect you(e.g. making u late to class) making friends with people who show up to class on time, get their work done fast, and respect others is a pathway to getting good grades. i believe that the most people you spend time with reflect on who you are, and don't let those people be negative.

*now these tips won't guarantee you getting immediate straight A's, but applying them to your school life will definitely improve it.

Studying when EXAUSTED

This is for those times when you really desperately want to be productive and get things done but you can't focus and you just want to sleep but you didn't do anything today so you feel shitty.

if you can, please just go to sleep (I do get that sometimes you feel so shitty about how little work you got done that you can't sleep, but if you can, please do it and approach tomorrow with a fresh start)

plan out what tomorrow is going to look like. I will break it down by task, for example: 6:00 wake up, 6:05 work out 6:15 shower, 6:30 make tea, 6:40 start work, 7:30 break etc. This will 1) help you feel better about not getting anything done 2) can help you be more productive tomorrow.

if you have things to do that are easy/low brain power, do them. These are things like printing out work, scanning stuff, tidying your kitchen. getting these little things out of the way can make a HUGE difference later

if you can, just read over your material. Don't even try to understand, just read it. Tomorrow when you come back to try and actually learn it, you will already be a little familiar and it can speed things up for you

eat something, drink something, and see if it makes you feel better- many times when i'm "unable" to go on, I eat a meal and drink a glass or two of water and magically I feel great again

try doing a workout- sometimes it just makes the exhaustion worse, but if you need to stay up later (shoutout to my fellow 6:30 pm bedtime pals) it can stretch time a little bit, and sometimes wakes up your brain. It's also good for you and can make your sleep go better

DONT DRINK COFFEE. or tea. no caffeine. you are already tired, it's not going to fix anything, its just going to make you jittery and sad. it's also going to upset your sleep schedule and make the tired worse for tomorrow.

lastly- just go to bed. pushing through true exhaustion is not going to help you or anyone else. anything you try and learn is going to float right out of your head, and it can lead to burnout which will make everything worse. Please just sleep

Hi can you make an elle woods study guide for me?

study like elle woods

“what, like it’s hard?”

cute stationary

invest in pretty notebooks, pens, highlighters, etc.! you’ll feel much more motivated to study and be productive when you’re surrounded by color and pretty things.

get some movement in while you work

elle reads and studies on the treadmill. if this is not accessible to you, you can go for a walk and listen to a podcast/video/audiobook on the topic you are studying or even fit workout sessions into your study breaks.

dress well, test well

elle always presented herself well in class. do your makeup and hair and wear an outfit that makes you feel confident and put together. if you look good and feel good, you will immediately boost your confidence, which will bring you into a better mindset for your study session, lecture, or exam.

rest when you need it

while it’s important to push yourself at times, there are also times where your brain needs to rest and absorb the information you’ve just studied. take time to do yoga, bake, sit outside, or whatever you feel like you need to rejuvenate and keep going.

stay true to yourself

elle is the perfect example of staying true to yourself even when you’re looked down on or belittled for it. you can be yourself and do whatever you want to do. you don’t have to stop expressing yourself in order to be intelligent, professional, and respected. if anyone ever tells you different or expects you to change yourself to “fit” your career, all you have to do is prove them wrong.

stop looking at other girls as competition

your only competition is yourself! there will always be people you believe to be smarter than you, have more opportunities than you, or be more gifted than you. if you are constantly thinking badly of yourself or comparing yourself to others, you will lose sight of your own gifts and your goals. stop worrying about everyone else and focus on you.

remind yourself of your ‘why?’

it’s easy to lose sight of your goals and your reason to keep going when you’re tired or doubting yourself, so always remind yourself why you’re doing this. who are you doing this for? why study this subject specifically? who do you want to be? what do you want your life to look like in 20 years?”

Stay productive and achieve your goals during the sunny season

As the days grow longer and warmer, the arrival of summer brings with it a sense of renewed energy and possibility. It's the perfect time to bask in the sun's rays and make the most of the season. Let’s explore how you can stay productive and focused on reaching your goals during the summer months. Let's make this summer a time of growth, accomplishment, and making unforgettable memories.

Set Clear Summer Goals: Define Your Objectives Before diving into the summer season, take some time to reflect and set clear goals for yourself. Identify what you want to achieve, whether it's personal, professional, or a combination of both. Break down your goals into actionable steps and create a plan to keep yourself accountable.

Create a Summer Schedule: Balance Work and Play Craft a summer schedule that balances productivity with leisure activities. Allocate specific time slots for work, study, or pursuing your goals, while also carving out time for relaxation, socializing, and enjoying the outdoors. Finding the right balance will help you make progress while still embracing the essence of summer.

Prioritize Daily Habits: Consistency is Key Maintain consistency in your daily habits to support your productivity. Whether it's waking up early, exercising, journaling, or practicing mindfulness, establish a routine that aligns with your goals. Consistency breeds discipline and sets the foundation for accomplishing your objectives.

Focus on Time Management: Optimize Your Efficiency Time management becomes crucial during the summer when the temptations of vacations and outdoor activities are abundant. Use time-blocking techniques, prioritize tasks, and minimize distractions to make the most of your working hours. Be mindful of how you spend your time and ensure that your activities align with your goals.

Embrace the Power of Visualization: Picture Your Success Visualization is a powerful tool for achieving your goals. Take a few moments each day to visualize yourself accomplishing your objectives. Imagine the feeling of success, the steps you took to get there, and the impact it has on your life. This practice will fuel your motivation and keep you focused during the summer months.

Stay Flexible and Adapt: Embrace Opportunities and Challenges Summer is a season of spontaneity and unexpected opportunities. Stay flexible and be open to new experiences that may arise. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. By maintaining a positive mindset and adapting to changing circumstances, you can make the most of the summer and continue progressing towards your goals.

By staying productive and aligned with your goals, you can make this summer a transformative period of success, joy, and fulfillment. 💕

spoiling myself with yummy perfumes, body butters and lotions, hair treatments and quality shampoo and conditioners, pretty sparkly makeup, cute little trinkets, plushies, adorable bag charms and keychains, yummy food, and my favorite teas!! i love showing me how much i love myself!

Hey, you. You're too pretty.

Seriously though? why do you always end up mogging everyone near you? You look like a real life goddess! You make models look bad and I am not even exaggerating. Your whole body is the epitome of perfection, those pretty eyes, that cute nose, with that juicy, sexy, perfect lips make people look back TWICE or more at you. You just keep on getting prettier every. single. day. Like holy shit, are you even real? No, actually? your beauty enhances literally every second and it's just so, so pleasing to look at. I could look at you forever and still want to take another look. I just don't get how pretty one can be, my standards increase rapidly just by looking at you, and tell me, is that my fault? is that my fault that I feel this way when i look at you? because, I, I really cant control how i feel when I look at you, I love the way you smile, your voice, the way your lips move when you speak, I love the way your eyes shine under the bright moon. You look like a cigarettes after sex song and you put every plastic surgeon to shame because they can never, never make someone look as pretty as you. You just are a big earth shattering ball of beauty, aren't you?
