Euphoria for You

Have a routine and make sure you STICK to that routine. Having a routine is helpful as it helps keep you off your bed and ensures you have a productive day, which can positively impact your mood and health. Starting to develop good habits is hard and really needs willpower. Keep in mind that it's okay to hit a few road blocks on the way, in fact this has happened to EVERYONE at least ONCE. 

What's more important is how you react and respond to that failure. I know it is hard, but try your best to learn from this mistake and return to the routine you are trying to turn into a habit. Don't give up over one failure!

What I mean by this is having a wardrobe filled with clothes that you feel good in. As Marie Kondo said,

Honestly, having a wardrobe filled with clothes that you feel good and look good (if you feel good in it, you will DEFINITELY look good!). For me, dressing better in clothes that makes me feel good has seriously improved my own perception on myself, my own confidence and how I perceive the world also. Going outside in clothes you feel good in, even if it's just to go to the library to study, can greatly improve your confidence.

Also, when shopping for clothes try to think if the clothes you're buying fits your wardrobe's current colour palette! This will make it easier for you to incorporate your new clothes to your already established pieces of clothing.

This can be anything, ranging from reading to doing a sport. It is important that you take some time for yourself also. For me, I enjoy dancing and performing with my group of friends.




I have also started to take interest in volleyball and am actually hoping to get trained by my friends! 

If you want something to enrich your life more, I really recommend volunteering or fundraising for a good cause! I have been volunteering for the past 2 years and am part of the Christmas Toy Appeal this year. The amount of goodness you feel from helping others is so good and just overall increases the satisfaction you feel within yourself and your life. 

I would like to mention that as a student, doing these stuff can be quite stressful and time-consuming so just do what you know you can do and try not to overwork yourself.

Find people who do nothing but bring goodness into your heart. These are the people that lift you up when you are down and encourage you to life your life to the fullest. These are the people who wait patiently for you to open up for them and when you do, they are already standing there, smiling with arms spread wide open. Positive people help to encourage you, making you a more positive and happier person inside!

Thanks for following me on this blog guys! Hopefully I get a good grade in marketing! Have a great week and don't get too stressed! ♡

Signing off,

So first exercise is the cross-body plank position on your hands and feet. Then cross your knees to the other side of your shoulder. This really works on your sides. 

Get in the elbow plank position and dip your hip from one side to the other.

This really challenges a lot of part of your body. It helps strengthen your abs, obliques, lower back, and, of course, cuts down the size of your waist. 

Once again, once you've finished the 3 sets, stay in the elbow plank position for 30 seconds.

When you're done stretch again.

Get in a side plank position on your elbow and lift your elbow upside and then twist it to the floor:

Once you've done 3 sets on one side, stay in that side plank position for 30 seconds. Then get on the other side and do another 3 sets of 12 elbow twists and then 30 seconds of side plank position.

Then stretch your sides.

Now, lie on your back and lift your shoulder and head off the floor, put your hands behind your head and lift towards your knees and then lower (without touching the floor): 

Finish your 3 sets and then stretch your stomach.

Russian Twists (without equipment)

Next, sit up halfway, close your hands in front of you and twist side to side. 

When you've done the 3 sets, stay in that position, put your closed hands in front of you and pulse (in the same way you do crunches, but sitting halfway up) for 3 sets of 12.

When you're done, stretch your sides.

Curl and Lift Crunch

Don't forget to stretch after!

Crunch and Flutter Kicks

After you do your 3 sets, keep your leg lengthened and hold that position for 30 seconds!



If you've reached here then! WELL DONE! You've completed the workout! Unless you just read through it lol. So yeah that's you! Remember the 70/30 rule, if you want a smaller waist etc, it is really 70% diet and 30% exercise, so don't forget about what you're eating also. Try to eat healthily and hopefully you'll start to see results!

If you guys want to watch a video during your workouts, I recommend blogilates on youtube. She's so inspiring and motivating and makes you want to continue your workout despite the pain lol.



Thanks for reading guys! If you guys want to know my bum workout then let me know!

Sometimes, there is so much stress and negativity going on in your life that you forget to be grateful about the little things that you have. Take some time out of your day and think, or write down, about the things - especially the little things - that you are grateful about. Doing this will help develop a more positive outlook about life in general. 

Your relationship with other people can really affect your mood, mindset and overall life satisfaction. Surround yourself with people that understand you, respect you, care about you and support you.


Surround yourself with people whose values match yours, or people whose values you want to develop more within yourself. Make sure your relationships with people are healthy - meaning you communicate healthily with them and set reasonable boundaries.

Having a healthy relationship with others means you feel more secure about them and can easily open up about problems with them. This means it is easier for you to reach out to them and ask for help. Opening up about problems to your friends allows them to support and comfort you to help clear your mind.

Friends that are always there to support you and make you feel better can actually help you have a more positive mindset on yourself and a healthier mindset with life as you have people you can enjoy it with.

As mentioned in my post before, we are our biggest critics which means we bring ourselves down the most. Start creating a habit of talking more positively about yourself, rather than negatively. While you may be making self-deprecating jokes, it can actually demotivate you and make you feel worse inside even though it's meant to be funny. So try to stop bringing yourself down and start bringing yourself up! 

Work on yourself by being kind to yourself, as you would with your friend.

Additionally, try being more positive when you're around your friends and partner. Remember to also take care and support the people around you. Your friends also need your support and comfort sometimes. You also need to take care of them when they do not feel like themselves. 

This step is ESSENTIAL. It helps to purify your skin and removes all the dirt from your everyday activities. It would be a waste of your expensive skincare if you're putting it all on a dirt-filled surface!

Step 1: Makeup Remover

I use micellar water to break down and remove all my makeup. If you don't like micellar water, then you can also use an oil based cleanser for this step.

Micellar water have these little molecules called "micelles" which attract dirt and oil, essentially drawing out impurities without drying out your skin.

Be gentle to your skin overall, but don't forget to be extra gentle when removing makeup around your eyes! They are one of the most delicate areas and so treat your eyes with extra love.

Step 2: Water-based Cleanser

Currently, I am using Simple's Foaming Cleanser and so far it's been doing its job so thumbs up from me!

I also like to think that the vitamins it has is actually doing something for my skin but... I can't really tell!

Step 3: Exfoliator 

Now that your skin is cleansed, it's time to exfoliate!

Bear in mind to only do this once or twice a week.

I prefer chemical exfoliants (AHA and BHA). I personally think that you can't have a complete skincare routine without a chemical exfoliator because it really gets deep into exfoliating your skin and unclogs your pores, helping to stop breakouts.

Chemical exfoliants also help stimulate collagen production and strengthens the skin, which prevents further wrinkles from forming!

Face Tone

Step 4: Toner

I use TWO toners on my skin at night because they both have different purposes.






First I use Simple Kind to Skin Soothing toner to remove any remaining traces of impurities such as dirt and makeup, and also restore my skin's to its natural pH level.






I then use TonyMoly's Wonder Ceramide Mocchi Toner. This toner hydrates, nourishes and repairs the skin.





It contains ceramides which are lipids that help form the skin barrier and helps protect the skin against irritants and pollution. Also, it helps the skin retain moisture, prepping it for the moisturisers in the steps ahead.

Nourish and Moisturise

Step 5: Serum

I wanted to brighten my skin and prevent further wrinkles and so I chose a vitamin C serum for that.

Step 6: Essence 

Step 7: Eye Cream

Step 8: Face Mask

Step 9: Moisturiser

And you're done!

What does 'Self-Care' REALLY mean?
