favorite stationery items?

I thought of something fun to do on my blog that would keep me entertained for a while!

everyone and anyone can reboot this and/or comment with your favorite stationery items, whether you use them for school, bulletin journaling, or work!

I’ll start!

Zebra mildliners <3

Kokuyo campu binders and notebooks, grid paper tho as I’ve shifted away from using ruled/lined paper

Muji gel pens 0.5 (not the biggest fan of the 0.38 size)

Most gel pens in general

Brush pens! I’ve used zebra, tombow, etc

zebra milk gel pens (I think that’s what they’re called? They write so nice and the colors are so cute)

stabilo boss highlighters (pastel)

that’s all I can think of right now. But I am an avid stationery lover and collector. The bigger I can grow my collection the better!

so let me know what some of your guys favorite stationery items are! Ohhh and maybe mention your favorite websites and/or apps for buying stationery! I love kawaii pen shop and stationery pal!

Day 8 - 90 Day Challenge 🎀

Yesterday was a decently productive day for someone who did not want to do anything. I managed to get some stuff done so let's dive on in.

🏋‍♀️ Physical Health

bought some electrolyte waters

zoom called my boyfriend

🥰 Self Love/Care

not a bad day looking back on it. today is Thanksgiving, so Happy Thansgiving to all who celebrate and to everyone who doesn't celebrate it, I hope you all have a wonderful day as well.

My day is going to be slow, kind, and gentle as I am spending this holiday alone. I'll get to zoom call my boyfriend later, but other then that I'm pretty much on my own today. I intend to have a relaxing and enjoyable day.

Day 7 - 90 Day Challenge 🎀

So what did I get done today?

Day 5 - 90 Day Challenge 🎀

I forgot to update last night with what I accomplished and I almost got confused with the days but Im going to say yesterday was Day 5? That just makes the most sense to me right now!

What did I accomplish yesterday?

🏋‍♀️ Physical Health

sleeepppp

I was so tired yesterday, I slept so much because of how tired I felt which is so unusual. and I noticed my sugar cravings were at an all time high too? so odd. today's been better so far, will update Day 6 tonight <3

please don't judge me

I know I just started my 90 day challenge and it's been pretty fun, but I keep not meeting all my goals and it's causing me to be more down on myself which was NOT what I wanted from this challenge.

I've decided to alter the challenge. Instead of posting specific goals, I will update every night with what I have accomplished during the day. It will still be within my specific categories, but having specific goals that I'm not meeting just makes me feel guilty and bad about myself, even though I know rest and recovery is necessary.

So, tonight's update will be just what I've accomplished today, no adherence to the previous goals I had set. (well, some adherence as I was trying to direct my actions to meet some of those goals).

I feel like this will be better for my productivity and mental health overall, and leave me feeling more proud of my accomplishments instead of more down because of what I "didn't accomplish".

til later, lovelies 🩷

small break from my normal challenge posts to ask a question and get some feedback!

I’m going to start posting some language learning stuff and hopefully some study type content as well now that finals are coming up and during the following break I want to dive back into my language studies to keep my brain full of knowledge.

Can anyone recommend some resources and advice/tips?

I’m looking for (Mexican) Spanish learning resources, Japanese learning resources, and advice and tips on motivation to keep going with the language learning, some productivity and discipline tips, and just any advice and motivation you guys have in general? Even if it’s not language related and just school and study related, I would be so happy to hear from all of you guys!

I look forward to posting some more normal everyday content along side the study school and language stuff along with my challenge updates! I feel like I haven’t been keeping up with the normal content I want to post so I’m really looking forward to doing more of that now!

anywho, thanks in advance for the resources, advice, and tips! I appreciate all of you, lovelies 🩷🤍

So I replaced social health with adulting tasks as I'm a more introverted person so the only social tasks would be calling my dad or talking to my boyfriend or the occasional chat with the roommates. I also know that "lay down in silence" is odd but I'm trying to train myself to be okay with being bored. sort of like meditation but with an emphasis on the do nothing aspects.

I'm super tired today for no reason, but I know I'll get at least 90% of my goals met.

I feel like that'd be a good idea!

90 Day Challenge - Intro

Hello! I've decided that I'm going to start a semi personalized 90-day challenge to help keep myself on track with my productivity! I will have certain goals I want to achieve, and the whole goal of this in general, like my desired outcome, is to build some more positive, healthy, productive habits! I'm going to set in place some rules for myself for this challenge!

🩷 Rules for 90 Day Challenge 🩷

Must post an update to my blog every day as a way to keep myself accountable

2 goals per category per day MINIMUM

4 goals per category per day MAXIMUM

Be honest with yourself and on this blog!

Be mindful and compassionate towards yourself in regards to time and energy

Here are the categories:

🏋‍♀️ Physical Health

🧠 Mental Health

❤️ Emotional Health

📚 Intellectual Health

🥳 Social Health

🥰 Self Love/Care

I will post every evening/night with what I accomplished for that day and what I plan to accomplish tomorrow.

*I will lump some things together. such as "complete 3 assignments" instead of listing every assignment. and there will be some overlap, as some days I might take a walk for physical health but other days do that for mental health, etc.

This is a pretty lofty challenge for me, and there will be some repeat goals (like studying japanese, doing homework, skincare, etc) but this will definitely give me som direction in my days so I'm excited!

I'll upload my first post of the challenge soon after this as I want to start today! I'll start with my goals for today and then upload tonight as mentioned earlier.

I'm excited to share this with you all!
