Start the year off right! Free Planners & Trackers

Image
 Over the past year I started making some planners and trackers on Google Sheets. My goal was to create planners that were cute and easily accessible for me. I can have every Google application on almost every device I own so this is my preferred way to keep trackers. Also, it's all free!  For most of my events I just prefer to use Google calendar because it's easily sharable but for daily or weekly tasks I like to use my planners. If I'm going through and making meticulous lists and/or breaking down the tasks into smaller tasks i use my planner that I made on Google Sheets. I also made meal and content planners.  I will make a workout tracker and a more generic budget later on because I realize that I want to track my workouts and that my budget planner is way to specific.

Happy New Year

Image
2022 was a year of ups and downs. I saw a lot of good and bad changes in both work and life that will change how I do things this year. I won't go into a lot of detail because these are all really minor tweaks here and there. This year I want to do more without overextending myself. Last year I tried to work, go to school, be a good mom, and actually enjoy things I couldn't before. Of course, work and being a mom took precedence over the other things and there was really only 1 slot left for me. If I can only focus on one 3rd major life implementation. I have to be serious and understand that I can't go half way.  This does not include the minor things that I've been trying to improve such as learning to drive, create a social media presence, and give myself a sustainable morning/night routine.  I cut my hair the week before new years  Career- This year is a pivotal year for my career. It's not a job I can just quit and missing a day is not an option. I want to do m...

December 2022 Check-in

Image
I am back and hopefully more consistent. I have been busy with work and school so I have had little downtime.  I am actually excited for the holidays this year, mostly because I'm committed to decorating and doing Christmas activities. I have been doing Vlogmas in the form of YouTube shorts on my main channel. This year I'm actually able to do things like advent calendars and ginger bread houses. This year I saved up to get a decent pre-lit Christmas tree and I have the theme of mostly gold and red in mind.  These past few months have been very busy but I haven't posted much. I'm trying to get back into the swing of making content. I get hung up on the editing sometimes because there's so much I wish I'd have done differently when I watch it back. This past October I turned 25 and my youngest turned 1. We had cake and sang happy birthday. Me and my husband went to get sushi while my mum watched the kids. It was the first time in 4 years that I'd gone to a re...

Check-in Oct 10

Image
So I've been trying to do weekly check-ins, but I might as well just do monthly because I'm so chaotic that I can't keep a schedule that makes any sense. The only thing that I could schedule and keep normal is my work schedule because that's not something I get to decide. So, of all the chaotic things that I cannot schedule, the one thing that I can schedule and I will say, has been going, well, is my workout routines and my ability to stay in shape and eat decently enough. I 'd like to do a couple of posts on my workout routines because I've found a good split that works well for me. And I feel like I'm seeing a really good difference. My physique is getting to almost perfectly the way I want it to be, although you, of course, you want to get more mass as if you know what I mean.  So, my skincare has been dumbed down in a way where it's just products that I know work. And I've stopped experimenting and trying products for a little while, although I ...

I tried the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops

Image
So I tried the niacinamide dew drops from glow recipe. I think it's a really good serum but I do think that is really expensive for what it is. The consistency is a little thicker than the serums that I'm used to. So, I required more to spread across my face in a nice even layer. I enjoyed the smell and even the taste, I didn't mean to taste it but i did. So I believe that it's good but I don't feel like it's like anything crazy.  For the niacinamide in the dew drops. I've don't feel like it was strong enough. I was able to use this for about almost two weeks. One of those weeks I was on my period and as you know hormonal acne goes rampant during your period. I did not see any help from the niacinamide and even after my period was over and usually my face starts to clear up. I did not feel like it was any faster than it normally would have been so if you're looking for it to help your acne, I personally don't think that it helped with that.  I ju...

Weekly Check-in August 27th,2022

Image
So, I've decided to do a weekly check-in type of blog post so that I could stay connected with my audience because I used to do vlogs where I would have updates and I would talk to the camera and everything,but my life is really boring now so there's not a lot of interesting things to Vlog except for cleaning in Sunday Reset videos. I do  vlogs still but they are more-so  a short version because of YouTube shorts, they're pushing that a lot more now. So I started making that content and I do find that that's a little more rewarding when I feel like it keeps me from rambling on for ages. A good example would be that I've already made this blog post before but I did just keep on rambling on so I'm making it again.  So for the past week or two, I have been super stressful so I'm having a lot of hormonal acne so I have begun to appreciate Prebiotic and probiotic skincare a lot more because I feel like it definitely gives my skin this sort of balance ...

Trying Clean Girl makeup + Highlighter & Brow Gel Review

Image
For today's post, I did a combination of reviewing some products and trying out clean makeup. The trend had fascinated me because it made people look very naturally. Beautiful. And I wanted to try it out on my own.  So, one the two products that I tried are the Brow Atelier Groom & Sculpt Tinted Brow Gel in Truffle and I think that overall it worked well, it reminds me of the glossier boy brow, which I did not use, but I feel like it does the job very well. It's very budge proof once it sets. I think the color that was chosen for me, by Ipsy, is really good and I like the bristles are really hard but I feel like That's not a downside. It just means that they're not going to start smearing too easily.  I do think that it's a little unforgiving when you have to clean it up. But overall, I think it's really good and sweat proof.  The second product that I look that I tried today was a powder highlighter.  I found it to be a little dark for me which is surprisin...
